I don't know the source, but the idea that someone went "ooh, there's an England cap, he'll come out with the things we like to hear" and got this instead is quite amusing.
That's the nature of FPTP, unfortunately.
Deeply enjoying how much Polanski has the establishment panicking.

Look at this response from Polanski to Sophie Ridge's attempted gotcha on flags To *finally* have a mainstream political voice standing up for racialised & minoritised communities being intimidated by the violent fash on our streets It's really not that hard, is it?

I often think about this letter to the New Statesman. It's from a 1960s Tory, and neatly summarises how British politics has shifted massively to the right, and taken Starmer's Labour party with it. #PoliticsLive
I see his answer as honest. I hate this govt, but they are marginally better than the Tories (workers rights bill, renting reform etc). It's a piss weak improvement, and we deserve far better. I think ppl can handle this nuance.
Worth it for the bit where Polanksi calls out Labours entitlement over people voting for them and Ed Balls pulls this face.
Please share this widely. There is simply nobody else doing what the Disability News Service does with such breadth, depth, regularity and rigour in the UK. There are so many stories of genuinely life-threatening import that would not have been told without its investigations.
If anyone is still looking for the first #Hannibal anthology book, Raw, there is one for sale on eBay! (Not my listing) I believe these are fairly rare, only popping up for sale occasionally. ebay.us/m/MfYQTp
the Trump announcement keeps being delayed because they’re trying to do the thing where they smear his gums with peanut butter to make it look like he’s talking like they did with Mr. Ed but even in a vegetative state his tongue keeps wriggling in there and slurping it down.
The White House aides currently running around panicking like that Succession episode when Logan had lost his mind and they had to get him on stage for the shareholders. Vance helping him piss etc.
"Er, I'm sorry I can't sit here. I can't see a flag. "
And look at this! One of my mam-in-law's ancient roses is going to bloom! I haven't even got around to repotting this one yet. It's in absolutely ancient soil.
Better late than never, first flower from my geranium this year.
Feeling myself at the moment, so here’s a self portrait ft a lil leaf for the lil dignity I have left. 🍁 Commissions open if you want me to draw you like one of my french babes ;) #trans #queerart
There was a moment for Jeremy Corbyn, and for a variety of reasons, he wasn't able to seize it. Now he (along with his team) is yesterday's man, fighting yesterday's battle, using yesterday's tactics. The moment is surpassing him and he clarifies that with every misstep.

Yeah, they couldn't be making it more clear that they couldn't give a fuck about trans rights.
Glinner stopped by airport security: Funny Glinner getting so mad he nearly had a heart attack: hilarious Glinner arrested: phenomenal Glinner given bail condition meaning he *legally* can't post: transcendent
Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.
i love how theyre trying to 'loony left' him and just making him sound very normal. literally everybody is gay vegan and lives in hackney, come on
The Government's expert adviser says that investing to upgrade from fossil fuels will save the UK nearly £40 billion a year, and rising. Electrifying everything avoids all that heat lost burning gas and oil. Electrification isn’t a cost. It’s the smartest investment we can make. 🧵1️⃣ of 3️⃣
Think i might put the prosecco in the fridge
Bravo
Nice one, Greens.

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
Wishing you luck with the transition back to term-time 🤞🏻
Been thinking about this for a few days, it’s why the solution to propaganda isn’t factchecking it’s community, and for the people creating propaganda it’s tackling them head on and not prevaricating or acquiescing to any of their points.
I have a really busy work-week and my brain is dealing with these demands by pretending they don't exist and denying me concentration. Arrrggghhhhh. Please, I beg for a scrap of executive function.
I used to have a gang of jackdaws that would visit my peanut feeder. They would take it in turns to sit on the feeder and pull all the nuts out, the others sat underneath hoovering them up. In 20 minutes, they could empty the thing!
Again, it's the racism that is the point. They will protest until we refuse to admit any asylum seekers or refugees.
Of course they do. 🤬
They are objecting to them being here. The hotels are merely an excuse.
The likely impact of introducing even more barriers to safe family reunification for refugees is that MORE people will instead take dangerous smugglers’ routes to reunite with their loved ones. & then Labour, Tories & Reform can demonise THEM on #r4today too. Yay.
it's sunday night, it's been a long year, you deserve this: every time Mads Mikkelsen has danced on screen
This will be challenged in the courts, and they will lose. I expect. I hope.
Labour is a far right political party now. Racist, transphobic, anti-migrant, anti-worker and opposed to human rights.

Just wonderful. Thank you for sharing!
Nooooo I hope it fucks off quickly without and lasting effects.
We fight the Butlerian Jihad with viral instructional sequences, hurried passed on, as each new iteration arises.
The new ritual counter magic - removing the evil spells of forced AI programmes like Copilot and Gemini. We need new grimoires to deal with this techno possession.
This skeet belongs in a museum. A real sequence of words.
I've never been so disappointed.

Lovely way to start the day
It brought my resting HR down by a full 10 bpm. It still spikes as soon as I stand up, but because it's lower to start with, I don't feel so awful.

Quicksand is SUCH a good metaphor for ME/CFS.

Tony Blair has a complicated legacy. On the one hand, he plunged Britian into decades of war, scarring a generation, destabilising the middle-east and slaughtering countless innocent people. On the other hand, centrist bald men say he was great, actually. It's impossible to say who is correct.
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Perhaps a local charity shop that sells furniture would collect it from you?
Bit of a tip off: RNLI are running a sale on Christmas cards. It’s never too early to get ready to send any Reform UK supporting friends and family a greeting that will really touch them: shop.rnli.org/collections/...
Good luck! I experience this too. Some days task initiation is impossible, other days are totally different. It's infuriating.
So pretty!

To anyone who needs to hear this: You are not required to read the OpenAI wrongful death lawsuit. The world does not need you to personally bear witness to this. You are allowed to look, but not obligated. The papers were not filed with you.
I've been in the UK 3 weeks, and I am shocked at how much Farage, Yousaf, Tice et al are on UK TV screens. Britain has a serious far-right problem. The ideology of these fascists has been magnified and platformed to the extreme, it has now gotten dangerously out of control. This is totally insane.

The TERFs are having a conference in Brighton in October. Hope there's going to be response telling them where to go. If you live in Brighton, write to the Brighton Centre and your MPs/councillors making clear hate is not welcome in the city!

I keep seeing the Trump-Intel deal called socialism, but there’s a term for this. This parallels what Mussolini did—the Italian state was one of the world’s largest industrial owners while keeping private companies. Nazi Germany did this too. So did Francoist Spain. It’s called state corporatism.
Hampstead Ponds are in the news again with the usual lies and misinformation about who has been "allowed" to swim there, when and why. I did my dissertation on the ladies pond in 2019, and specifically looked at journalistic misinformation compared to winter swimmers own views
It's important that people's idea of Nazis being held accountable for their crimes is 9 people being hung in Nuremberg and not a million Nazis put in the ground by the Red Army at Stalingrad.
Yes! That would have been so cool.
I get unreasonably angry when they don't complete mini cycles like this.
If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
Saying Good Morning to the boys, and Winston grabbed my hand with his, laid his head on it, and started vibrating. 😭 Rats are THE BEST 😭
There’s been a lot of talk about the wave of anti-immigration protests sweeping the UK. A lot of talk. Well here’s a picture!! (pssst - the anti-immigration tidal wave are INSIDE the police cordon).
The answer to "What happened to [social justice movement]?" is pretty much always "it was suppressed by violence." Official and otherwise. Far from the only way repression works (read the investigations into the co-option of the formal BLM org), but it's a major one.
i love you president teeth. i mean president newteeth. no. president toothsome. presidenture newteeth some. FUCK i. love. president. chewsom
I wonder if they can use this to fix ME/CFS/PEM #NEISvoid
Oh dont worry, I am well aware. Mother would rather pretend its all gone away.
This is perfect. Brilliant characterisation!
