How can kid starver remain as Pm when he is advised by a man mentored by a traitor? Mcsweeney being such an important advisor to the pm is surely reason enough for the pm to go
Mcsweeney is vile and I will savour every moment of his eventual humiliation and downfall
How on earth can kid Starver stay as Pm after it’s been shown that he’s taking advice on Labour candidates from a man who chose to remain friends with a convicted paedophile? How can he stay as PM when he allowed mandleson to be involved in cabinet reshuffles?

Dominic Cummings has this racialised take on David Lammy
There is an increasingly prevalent kneejerk online rightwing trait to call the presence of any black or Asian person a diversity hire

If I see another 'AI will let HCWs treat more patients' claim, I think I'm going to scream.
Burnout rates are already too high. AI should not be used to increase in-hours work density; instead it should reduce the amount of wellness-destroying work we already do out-of-hours. 🤨
Quite.
I think the blame here lies squarely with Starmer's acceptance of the 'culturally hard right' Blue Labour bullshit.
He needs to grow an ethical backbone.

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.
It’s quite easy to cling to free speech absolutism when you are not the target of a promised ethnic cleansing. The “marketplace of ideas” is a legitimising myth for such politics of annihilation, and “debating” ethno-nationalism is nothing more than the gamification of another’s humanity.
Someday, as we ask ‘how did the world let the Holocaust happen?’ so will we ask ‘how did we not stop the genocide of Gaza?’
Will no one stop this slaughter of innocents?
Our souls are stained forever by our complicity
May Allah swt forgive us for our impotence and incompetence against this evil
This, from Starmer today on Channel 4, is his strongest comment on the weekend so far and yet it is still, so, so weak. It's not "chaos". It's far-right racism. WHY are "so many of our communities" scared? CALL IT WHAT IT IS.
Though I guess he'd then have to acknowledge his role in stoking it.
I don't need "me time", I need "no one needs me" time.
Perhaps rather than endlessly promoting Mr Farage, the national media could highlight what his local councillors are doing - as demonstrated here by @northantstelegraph.bsky.social

Why the strange reluctance of Labour to stand up for ethnic minorities is damaging integration policies and weirdly also Labours own prospectives to win another election.
This, by @anandmenon.bsky.social is nailing it.
83% civilians killed
8:1 ratio
At least
That’s according to the genocidaires themselves
"All this is not overtly “blood and soil,” but the underlying logic – that your ethnicity and ancestry is your primary and most important identity is essentially the same" @jdportes.bsky.social getting to the root of populist racism - from Goodhart to Goodwin. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/19/r...
Is Kemi Badenoch going to expel Robert Jenrick from the Conservative party?
Al Jazeera Media Network condemns the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammeel Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by Israeli forces.
#JournalismIsNotACrime
The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.
That's the model: driving the population into an refugee camp - over a shrinking territory - with the aim of making their lives so miserable that sooner or later, in one or another, they'll leave for somewhere else.

Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza city does not involve direct military rule over its population. The idea is to expel estimated 1m people into the "humanitarian zone" in the south with some non-committal talk about providing them with more medical aid and food.
