‘Very cranky’ statements that directly mirror those made by the leader of the largest economy in Europe three months before him.
Just put loads of smiley faces on it
I'm listening...
Correct position.
And while it might be a bit sketchy, its got nothing on fronting for gambling companies, arms manufactures, fossil fuel companies, tobacco and booze firms etc.!
Zack Polanski is the new leader of the Green Party with 20k votes to 3k! Huge mandate! Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social
I'd say I told you so but it was always going to happen wasn't it?
The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...
Go back 30 years and you’ll find the same headline, only then the Mail was whipping up hate against teenage mums.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Peak rail fares have now been scrapped across Scotland's rail network" "it is to encourage people to switch from cars to trains" Why isn't this happening across England and Wales too?
I'm planning on getting to do cool stuff again in retirement! (Or semi retirement)
I'm not so concerned about the flags but what's going to come next...
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
One of the asylum hotels is, in fact, at the end of my street and it's fine? It's on my way to the pub and like it's a hotel where people who deserve better are being housed? The only issue is how they deserve better.
Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities
Boooooooooooo
What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?
Doesn't seem to be having much effect
Is there even the structure to sack him? Although I agree on the main point, this is massively self defeating regardless of the moral position
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vol 2 innit
Jo Cox was murdered by a man with a house full of neo-Nazi agitprop and this was then retconned into a vague narrative about social media abuse
nesrine's column is good as usual, but I suspect few of her own guardian colleagues will read it, let alone ones in the broader political-journalism universe. They are incapable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Any shouts @nikkeffingham.bsky.social ?
Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Where are all the “racism in the Labour party is completely unacceptable” people who were so vocal around 2018? Not very consistent are they?!
At some point you're too old to make life harder on yourself than it needs to be...
I had to make a decision to make my life easier, and that included minimizing financial hassles... Highly recommended tbh
We know from the Windrush scandal that there isn't a clear, dividing line between citizen and non-citizen. And that is the reason why ID cards would be the inevitable precursor to a policy of mass deportation. And its liberals who are pushing for that. observer.co.uk/news/columni...
Waiting for John Mann etc. to get the protest organised...
Boooooooooooooo
I proposed to Alyssa today and she said yes! Shout out to @itshugosnook.bsky.social for designing this fantastic Wingspan parody! It’s her favorite board game, and I MAY have lied and told her I was expecting a review copy for a new expansion in the mail. She doesn’t seem too mad about it.
fuck this shit
Any other minority...
People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Immense watch this one...
Look how @theguardian.com describes racist intimidation nazi mobs in an attempted pogrom - “protestors” “demonstrators” “anti asylum groups” fuck you www.DUMPtheguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Chicanery!
Always thought Heat was a bit tedious! Although I've got Diary of the Dead on and I don't even have the excuse of it being a first viewing...
Doot Doot!
Anyway, guess we should try & sell some mags WS7: Cold War RPGS! Rick Priestley! Triangle Agency! Undaunted! Through The Hedgerow! Castle Rat! Terry Pratchett! And so much more! - out in a couple of weeks! Issues 3-6: just far too much to even get into. 450+ pages, at cut my own throat prices!
Feel like it's probably more of a just do it or else kind of environment over there...
Does anyone have one of the old 28mm Copplestone high elves they could share a picture of beside a GW high elf (and cavalry too!)? - want to see if they would be visually absurd on the same battlefield.
He called me a boring cunt! Even before I had a chance to accuse him of step'n'fetchit behaviour because he writes for the Spectator!
If the creature is both rejected by it's creator and in turn rejects him, I don't see why it follows that it should take his name.
This was the point when the flag should have been reclaimed, soz that no-one bothered!
1/3 Some time ago I was asked by a French movie magazine if I could recreate the iconic Alien poster using my miniature photography skills, it's one of my all time favourite movies so I jumped at the chance and obviously I had to do it practically, here's the final image made only from 2 photos...
Hey it's a "Defeat fascism in the marketplace of ideas" post but actually in the paper!
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
These people shouldn't be coddled. They shouldn't have their 'legitimate concerns' listened to. They should be called what they are. Racist. Fascist. They should be kicked out of spaces where their opinions can be amplified. We should not be offering olive branches, we should be brandishing fists.
pretty much all civility discourse can be boiled down to “i want to say bigoted shit, and i don’t want to be called a bigot in response. if i use graphs or charts or express it through abstract policies, i should be allowed this.” like there’s almost nothing else to it
I was expecting it to be twee and mild but it's barely even that...
Modern politics is right wing parties saying “We have summoned The Shadow Lord from the realm of eternal screaming, he shall lay waste to this wretched earth” while sensible centrists say “We’re going to lose the next election if the left keeps moaning about The Shadow Lord.”
Famously, data requires absolutely no interpretation of either its conditions or its substance. Can't argue with facts!
Wild one this... So it doesn't hit pensioners?
Mythic Beasts calculated the total water use for an email account as 145ml per account per year, giving an upper bound to "Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems." advice. Water companies leak 48.8 litres of water per person per day.
Now this is as easy to find as whatever is number 1... So why make as big a deal about the difference? open.spotify.com/track/55sOmM...
It feels like a symptom of a couple of things, the collapse of the music market and the availability of everything all at once (I'm sure I'm just reiterating 100s of others here)... It just seems impossibly different now to the 90s when you physically couldn't listen to something you didn't own...
I just can't help but note how incredibly intellectually disqualifying it is for anyone to have been in that room while Yarvin said that thing and not immediately either call him a wicked fool or walk out.
"How significant is the fact that Tony Blairs involved in discussions about a post war Gaza?" Ash Sarkar: "Well I guess it's because Satan was unavailable"
finally the royalty cheques from the new TV series were rolling in
FB groups? Theres old and midhammer?
He just moans about it now
That’s the national equality body, for non-Brits. He was appointed in 2020 and not removed since. Do you see what I mean when I say we’re in year seven or eight of domestic Trumpery?

They posted this to their own Facebook after NFs speech. I don't know how any remaining Labour/Starmer supporters can defend them. How can you support a message of "he's just shouting, we're actually doing the hatred"?
Classic lad on the right here!

I've no idea how long you expect windows etc to last anyways, and I assume the panels don't just disintegrate after 10 years, but I was curious...
Driven with rocks, at that.
I'm afraid I'm at see what they actually do, rather than say.
Is there much difference in the comparative lifespan?
I like to remind people that Enoch Powell got fired by his Tory PM Ted Heath in 1968 and never had a cabinet position again, and the Times called it an “evil speech”. Now we get great replacement theory in the Times and politicians including Labour advocating for ethnic cleansing on a daily basis
The simple answer is they don't differ substantially on the points in question
Just how it read to me!
Surely he's a closeted gay guy, and that's why he can't perform? That's what I took from the comments about firefighters etc. Something else he has to keep concealed...

Still isn’t harming her career, of course. Nothing has: not calling Black Lives Matter a race revolution aimed at destroying “white society”, not defaming some guy so her employer had to pay him a gajillion pounds, not being cited in the manifesto of a terrorist who killed 77 people. Nothing will.
lol, economists.
