Why is this not a bigger story? The deputy GRIFTER-in-CHIEF wants to rob new workers of their pension, give existing workers lower pay rises, while taking his glod plated MP pension in time. This is what Deform clowns voted for. To make themselves poorer birminghamunison.co.uk/2025/06/03/r...

One of the funniest things I've read in ages. Curtis Yarvin is built up as the great sage of the reactionary right, and yet his political thought has the depth of a teaspoon. At one point he says: "In China, you can think and pretty much say whatever you want.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This article is a tough, tough read if you are a Labour supporter... But unless your plan for the next 4 years is to live in a little bubble of self-delusion then watch the party you support disappear into oblivion, you need to. Bitter medicine, but necessary. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just for clarity….this is why the BBC constantly fill our screens with Farage & “experts” from the Tufton Street cabal of RW nut-jobs… FFS the current BBC Director of news was previously the Editorial Director of GB News! Where the hell are @lisanandy & @Keir_Starmer ?

To be fair to the FT, that was an opinion piece from Tory Camilla Cavendish, and while there was lots of tosh in the piece the sub-editor's eye-candy headline doesn't at all reflect the thrust of what she says

Just to point out Reform only had 37% of the vote in the KCC elections but that gave them 70% of the seats. 63% of voters were left with 30 of seats and absolutely no power. At the last GE Labour had 34% of the vote but has total power. Democracy? I don’t think so. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Imagine a foreign leader giving a knowingly factually inaccurate lecture about America for 30 minutes on national television in an effort to humiliate the U.S. by... ...presenting Pizzagate conspiracy theories as true. This was way, way worse. Considerably more offensive. A humiliation of America.

Labour assumes many left-wing voters will “hold their nose” and vote for them anyway. But that’s increasingly not the case. Carys Afoko speaks to @carladenyer.bsky.social and @shockatadam.bsky.social about challenging Labour from the left. www.prospectmagazine...

If Morgan can beat the BNP in Barking, goes the argument, surely he can do the same for Reform in Britain too Yet in all coverage of McSweeney’s supposedly unique ability to slay far right, through deploying tough messages on crime & immigration, almost nobody has actually checked whether it’s true

"Conservatives have created this hostile environment.. we should welcome people wherever they come from.. the UK is better because of immigration.. Lab has been a bit scared of making the positive case for immigration.. we need to turn that round" The most duplicitous politician in my lifetime

This is Labour's core problem here. The right will never allow Starmer a win on immigration because the issue is central to their appeal and therey' daren't lose it. So whatever he does will never be enough.

You do seriously have to ask, with a Labour Government in charge, why the BBC is still controlled by a cabal of Johnson appointed right wing grifters? And Labour wonder why their narrative is always drowned out by Right Wing propoganda!

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.
