The moment Starmer goes will be like a landslide or avalanche. His base of support is so tiny that the gap between the Establishment deciding it's time for him to go and him going will be near instantaneous.

Shitehousing Prime Minister Streeting into place will be, I think, an actual challenge for the British press. Technically it only requires internal party stitching up, but can they get it past the public long enough for him to not be Labour's Liz Truss?

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the videogames industry is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

We discovered quasars by accident as a result of Soviet astronomers looking for signs of alien activity! So when a couple of British astronomers later found a pulsar they jokingly named it LGM, which stands for Little Green Men!

To protect the filibuster, which can't be used because then the GOP will take it away and we won't be able to use it. It makes perfect sense if you think about it and you are dumber than a bag of shit.

Some premium noticing is about to happen because the press have decided it's definitely no longer Labour's turn at the helm. I still think it's up in the air who they're going to shithouse over the line, but Labour are dead to the press.

I recently left my job which was in an Estates department at one of Leeds’ Universities. I’ll never ever forget one of the first things that struck me when I started there: Oh damn, we’re running a small city adjacent to Leeds here. So, y’know, good luck if you want local economies to collapse.

im so sick and tired of 'separate art from the artist'. that is about literary criticism. basically taking the author out of the equation when writing a review or a criticism of one of their works. it does not mean 'this person is bigoted as fuck but who cares im in house hiffenwaffen!'.

Since becoming health secretary Streeting has overseen the single largest sale of NHS services. The contract for community services in the south west was given to HCRG (owned by private equity) & is worth over a billion pounds. I know who's a threat to the NHS, & its not doctors

many thanks to @wariotifo.bsky.social for alerting me to this charming story of Sean Ingle's wife completely accidentally veering off course in the London Marathon, posting a record time to Strava, boasting about it, then claiming she was doing a "liquid Radcliffe" and got lost, not cheating

We’re at the apex of the “end of history”. There is no communism. I’ve lived in a capitalist world for nearly 40 years and I still ended up in an authoritarian state - only now instead of state mandated labour I have to work 3 jobs to pay my private landlord

I have spent much of my life looking for expressions of the complex politics of liberation that compress really messy and counterintuitive ideas into a few words and I really have never seen anything better or more succinct than "kill the Boer". It just works, you know?

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Food for thought for defenders of capitalism: 1.1 billion people, nearly a quarter of the global urban population, live in slums or informal settlements. That’s roughly the entire population of the planet when Engels and Marx published The Communist Manifesto in 1848. Is this progress?

i cannot emphasize enough how transphobia is above all an elite panic phenomenon. the reason knowing a trans person tends to turn normal peoples opinions around is bc transphobia is not a strongly held one for most people. its the elite columnists, pundits, politicians, etc this doesnt hold true for

Mockery is putting it mildly: they sent the fucking racist reactionary prick as a representative. It's also pretty damning that this isn't all across the rest of our media, instead we have to rely on an independence movement to flag up the UK's heinous behaviour.

You don't need to be a prophet. Images like this - of starved Palestinians hammed into fenced cages by Israel - will be remembered for generations as hideous evidence of a terrible crime. And history will remember not just those who cheered it on, but those who stayed silent.

Look not to be insensitive to people putting their freedom on the line, but if an action involves 4 people there is zero reason the cops should have known about it in advance. This keeps happening with Roger Hallam projects. Even if they weren't ops to begin with, they are now by function.
