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...
Mistreating & abusing citizens is not morally more reprehensible than mistreating & abusing those deemed “illegal”...[but] if we turn a blind eye to such treatment on the grounds that “it’s only illegals being treated this way”, it will not remain “only illegals” observer.co.uk/news/columni...
The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects
you must be talking about some other labour government this government is just pushing fascist policies and accepting bribes bcos they're fascists who like bribes there's no deeper analysis. you and everyone else who voter labour fell for a very obvious con job. they told you what they would do:
Still on the EHCR are we? British politics is stuck in a post-Brexit doom loop, addicted to spectacle politics and unable to engage with its actual problems: the sclerotic post-GFC economy that has seen real wages stagnate and increasing inability of government to invest in public services.
'I also wonder, if he was a Tory PM with all the same policies and rhetoric, would he be more popular with his target audience?'
Starmer agrees with Groucho Marx.....🙄

Haemorrhaging support every day, wrecking what would have quite an easy nice legacy, making the lives of minorities actively worse and making sure I feel anxious and depressed all the time....Sir Keir has played a blinder again!
A pattern here in white people countries: - Financial crisis 2008 destroys existing economic model - Sensible politicians cycle through different guises, like the T-1000 in the molten steel getting more and more melted - All slowly realise the only form that might survive is “Authoritarian Fascist”
The UK has morphed into an episode of The Day Today or Brass Eye. Life imitating art.....🙄
'.....so the whole ‘ I accidentally said ‘ island 🏝️ of strangers’ thing was accidentally on purpose'.

Glasman with his BFF, Steve Bannon.
Yup - Starmer is in thrall with Maurice Glasman and those Blue Labour cunts. The flag shagging is for real.....🙄 www.theguardian.com/books/2022/s...
IDF spokesperson: "we are doing everything we can to keep civilians out of harms way" Like dropping 2,000lb bombs on densely crowded refugee camps, killing 15 medics in cold blood, firing 355 bullets into a car to slaughter a family, double tap strikes to murder journalists etc?
@lalabiso.bsky.social, just because 😊 youtu.be/ez6WQ7IX72U?...
Daily Torygraph (it's more sympathetic to Reform UK Ltd, these days) ceased being a serious newspaper, many years ago. Probably in the lead-up to Brexit 2016. With the likes of Allister Heath, Daniel Hannan, Allison Pearson, Camilla Tominey, etc; the paper should be located with the Beano & Dandy.
Hard eye roll. Policy Exchange puts out a report which conveniently erases the UK Govt's GFA commitments on the ECHR and The Telegraph rush out stories that the experts have spoken, even as the plain wording of the GFA gives a lie to this. Patrick Minford syndrome lives on.
Sadly, these stated and verifiable facts won't persuade those who hold racist, xenophobic and bigoted beliefs. It's all about feelings and Kellyanne Conway's 'Alternative Facts'.....🙄
In summary, the average child sexual predator’s profile is: married, male, white, heterosexual, religious, surrounded by friends and family, and a parent.
A man and woman have been arrested after NHS nurse Apple Moorhouse was attacked in Halifax park. The couple asked if she “came here on a rubber boat” before performing Nazi salutes and assaulting her. Both remain in custody. #Halifax
'Island of Strangers' and Immigration being a 'Squalid Chapter' were no accidents or mispeaks. This is who Starmer is. No-one should be surprised.....🙄 [Image courtesy of @coldwarsteve.bsky.social]
Yup - Elements of the UK well on the road to Fascism.
I thought that was an aged, moustached Michael Fabricant.....🤔
About Migration Watch UK: 'While the group describes itself as independent and non-political, it has been characterised as a right-wing lobby or pressure group by some commentators and academics'. Hardly 'neutral' or 'independent'.....🙄 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrati...
Dr. Mike Jones, 'Immigration Expert' has just been on @tomswarbrick.bsky.social's @lbc.co.uk. Swarbrick failed to mention that Jones was a Director of Migration Watch UK, who are hardly neutral or independent about Immigration.
Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Philp, is now responding for the Conservative Party. Philp is incredibly thick & jumps on the latest bandwagon, leaning into the culture wars strongly. Doesn't even realise he was Immigration Minister in the last govt, who expanded use of hotels. Philp is to be pitied.
'not that I’m astonished he doesn’t even display a basic level of competence'. We are in agreement. Starmer is useless, incompetent and without principles.
'Just astonishing'
Home Sec. Yvette Cooper, speaking in the House of Commons today, about the Asylum & Border Security policy, inc the Asylum Appeals process. Cooper said the UK 'would do our bit' in working with other countries to provide refuge. She made it sound like donating to someone doing a sponsored swim 🙄
Fuck Centrists masquerading as Left-Wing!!! 😡
I can only imagine the levels of cognitive dissonance, where as a Labour MP or party member, you now have to publicly decry the values and principles you once held dear.....🙄 Once, they were inspired or influenced by the writings of Karl Marx. Nowadays? They're more like Groucho.

Starmer's tough on (Illegal) Migration echoes the worst of Enoch Powell. Starmer admitted this, by apologising for not reading the 'Island Of Strangers' speech first. The fuck are Labour Left-Wing. [Image courtesy of@coldwarsteve.bsky.social]

Here's Glasman with Donald Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, who's very Left-Wing.....🙄
Labour are no-longer Left-Wing and Starmer has spent months purging Left-Wing members and MPs. Starmer and McSweeney are influenced by Maurice Glasman and Blue Labour: a Social Conservative Project. www.theguardian.com/books/2022/s...
100 days of Reform councils. What’s the grand vision? Ban Pride flags. Ban Ukraine flags. Wave nylon crosses off lampposts. Slash SEND budgets, botch “doge units”, lose councillors faster than bin collections. Who knew running things was harder than shouting on GB News?
Words would just spoil it.
'These restrictions are designed to uphold the integrity of public assistance programmes..preventing expenditure on goods & services that fall outside the scope of essential living needs – such as entertainment' Asylum Seekers are permitted only to watch grass grow & paint dry. For Fucks Sake!!! 😡
Maybe it's.....
Today Nick Ferrari asked if treaties like the ECHR & the Refugee Convention that were drawn up in the wake of WWII are still relevant to modern Britain. I said the context of racial hatred towards Muslim immigrants now echoes the hatred of Jewish immigrants in the 20th century. We need these laws.
Labour could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity and respect. Instead, they have fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far-right. My piece for @tribunemagazine www.tribunemag.co.uk/2025/09/labour-is-paving-the-path-to-fascism
'It is the Christian way to meet those asking for help with compassion and understanding'
Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.
Israel has declared Greta Thunberg a terrorist and plans to detain her indefinately in one of their torture camps if she dares to come near Israel in her Freedom Flotilla. Do you stand with Greta Thunberg against the monsterous Israel?
Of course she is. Totally on brand.....🙄 Fuck Blue Labour!!! 😡 #BlueLabour www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
These people aren't even hiding their racism anymore. Carswell, like many of the far-right fanatics stirring up unrest in Britain, lives in the US of course
What tha fuck???!!!

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...
You posit arguments that support Intelligent Design (c.f. Paley's Watch), which no Rationalist & Empiricist would ever accept as proof of the existence of God. Essentially, Intelligent Design is a cop out, for those of a Scientific background to defend Creationist Theories. It's easy to debunk.
This is on the 17.4M people who voted to leave the EU back in June 2016. The result of that accursed referendum emboldened & empowered every bigot & racist - including this foul harpy - to crawl out from under their rocks and abuse anyone who didn't look or sound like them. bsky.app/profile/otto...
'Just don’t be a dick'. A great moral code that all should adhere.
Trump administration looking at proposals at ethnically cleansing Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/trump-administration-looking-proposals-ethnically-cleansing-gaza
What we're seeing in the UK (predominantly England) today is simply thinly-veiled racism dressed up as patriotism. Just call it what it is: scapegoating immigrants for problems created by decades of government policy and corporate greed.
Beautiful sunset 😊 Is that you, @lalabiso.bsky.social? I hope that your soul and spirit are restored 🙏🏾

Glasman is pals with someone called Steve Bannon. You may have heard of Steve.....🙄

Lower. Much lower.
Let's see if Zelda is charged and convicted 🤷🏾♂️
"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK. With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK."
Zelda fucked around. Now she's about to find out 😬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
'[The] oligarchs and the architects of Project 2025 will do anything to keep a dead man walking in the WH until they steal the 2026 and 2028 elections'. It could end-up like a latter day version of Weekend At Bernie's. LOLS!!! 😂
You're a little judgemental for a Christian. LOLS!!! 😂 'He/She who is without sin, cast the first stone'.
