Patrick here explaining that Labour are inflexibly and ideologically committed to a series of very right wing policies. You’ll recall it’s the left that have ideology, and the mere suggestion these people were Tories was *insanely* extreme, lunacy so bad that it was completely off the charts.

I don’t think you can summarize the fatal problem with modern liberalism any better than “My issue with the way people are being deported and disappeared is procedural.”

This is not a picture of JD Vance?

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."

Labour's NHS reform plans in full.

At least the greenwashing is over.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

A two panel comic book style drawing. The first panel is a console with two red buttons labelled - “admit to yourself your dream is dead” and “pay $12”. A white gloved hand is hovering betwixt the two options. The second panel is a white man, holding a cloth to their forehead. They are sweating and look anxious. There is text that reads “domain renewal”

happy “I’m gonna start a side project” holidays
