Hi @elliereeves.bsky.social are you going to stand and cheer on the cuts to aid, cosying up to the sexist racist Trump, and Starmer's charge into Reform territory? Or can you find some remaining principles like Annelise Dodds?

Hi @elliereeves.bsky.social I'm having a bit of a problem getting my head round Labour cutting aid in order to increase spending on the military. Could you explain why it's such a good idea in simple plain English?

Nice! I guess Labour’s new immigration slogan will be SMASH THE GANGS - PENALISE THE VULNERABLE.

I bet no one on here has ever had a paper straw explode on them.

A handy guide for the worryingly racist

Love this

Starmer wants a trade deal with the US. UK has a lot to lose. Specifically worried about the cost of pharmaceuticals to the NHS - a giant buyer that can use it's weight to squeeze prices. Trump hates that and will try to stop that at any cost. embarking on a deal would be dangerous and foolish

Keir Starmer opens the door to the Computer Says No era

Liz Truss crashed the economy, she did so really bad and many of us are still suffering as a result.

Jean Marie Le Pen has died. *Guido does a little dance*

Peter Mendelson sucks up to anyone with a fat wallet: Epstein, Deripaska, Hinduja, Paul Allen (of Microsoft), Geoffrey Robinson (who lent Mendelson £373k). That’s a lot of billionaires in your life. Dread to think what he will do faced with Trump, Musk and co. Terrible appointment for ambassador.

Mandelson is a man constantly dazzled by the filthy rich, send him into negotiations with Trump and his acolytes and we're on course for a pretty disastrous trade deal.

Post Office spent £132m defending itself at inquiry. It is a win-win for execs. Boosted their pay by extracting millions from innocent postmasters. Don't bear the cost of inquiry. No clawback of pay. Retired on fat pension. Likely to escape prosecution. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Mandelson is a great pick for US Ambassador, at the start of each meeting with the President they can have a good chat about the old days with Jeffery Epstein and then get down to business.

This needs to be repeated again and again until the likes of Starmer and Yvette Cooper realise (I know, big ask) that imitating the worst of Reform and the Tories will only feed into their agenda and popularity and does nothing to challenge their odious policies.

The undercover cops inquiry; where “reckless” and “fucking rapist” seem to be interchangeable. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Biden has just put rocket boosters on the descent into madness in January. Brace yourselves everyone, 2025 is gonna be one fucked up year!

I see the Labour Party are getting the hang of bsky pretty quick. They put this one out on TwiX and decided not to over here. Absolutely disgrace boast, seeping racism and pandering to Reform. Shameful

Just got a letter from the headteacher at the younger son's primary school. They're asking all families to donate £30 a month to the school to help keep it going. I understand this is common. 14 years of neglect, 4 months of jam tomorrow...

Politicians (especially those actually in charge) need to stop regarding immigration as a problem and to start seeing it as an opportunity. To have educated adults arrive looking to make a living and hoping to send money back to families makes people willing to work hard. Where's the problem?

The police spy that happened upon us in 2002-05 used to complain to me that he couldn’t get a girlfriend. The very thought makes me shudder. The practice of deceiving women into relationships was evidently encouraged by the likes of Bob Lambert. Disgusting www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

All undercover cops infiltrating left wing orgs are cruel liars. They lie: } to those they infiltrate and inform on, } to their handlers to convince them their deployment is viable and necessary, } to their 'real life' friends and families about what they do www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

What is it amongst those who support Israel that they appear to think that being “democratically elected” (which is a dubious claim, but in this instance I’ll let it run) makes it impossible for someone to commit war crimes?

Can’t recall last time I was on a demo with running commentary from all news outlets. It must be said, I’ve been on more protests than most people. Trying to work out why farmers protecting money is more important to our media than families getting annihilated by UK-made munitions. No, can’t see it.
