Ok. So your theory of change is "Luke Akehurst gets what he wants forever"? I see. Good luck! 👍

There can be no transition to a better form of government in this society as long as the Labour party still exists, convincing people that their votes have to go to this crowd of despicable, corrupt charlatans. They must be destroyed.

We didn't want any of these buffoons and cryptids in power. We tried to warn you and nobody listened. And now the dickhead is out here shitting himself in front of parliament. You can't blame anyone else for this mess.

Look man, it's rough out there and I'm ok with whatever you need to get through the dark nights, be that the needle, a bottle of whisky, or whatever this delusional nonsense is.

i've had one of the most prominent KCs in Scotland pop up in my mentions at 1am telling lies about me, to me (so arrogant and refreshed he thought he could convince me)

every profession has liars in it. OBVIOUSLY

Tim Apple is finally stepping down and Tim Onion is finally buying infowars, what a crazy day for Tim Vegetables.

The Polycrisis? Historical roots and critical perspectives in modern British studies This conference will bring together scholars to discuss the shape of modern British studies in an urgently unstable global context, termed a ‘polycrisis’ (Tooze, 2023). Featuring panels on the environ...

This conference we are supporting in Birmingham in June has an amazing mix of 40 panels - a veritable Choose your Own Adventure through modern British studies. It’s also the inaugural event of the Association of Modern British Studies! Great stuff here

Cocaine and computers really were a wild combination. Who knew they’d accomplish such marvels together

Two Tims, both alike in dignity

It's easy to forget Keir Starmer is the most hated Prime Minister in history because he is so competent and charismatic

one of the most disturbing and frustrating responses to trans care being dropped by hospitals based on nothing but threats is, "If they didn't cut off your healthcare they wouldn't have the funds to help other (more important) people."

like they actually think that's a good and reasonable argument.

The Onion Is Turning Alex Jones’ Infowars Into a Parody Site With a Rainbow Logo Love wins.

Love wins.

you're attracted to men?? the gender that hitler was???

Not me! I don't want to get rid of Starmer! I want him to stay in as PM until the next election. I don't want him to be able to say, "oh, if it wasn't for the unfortunate circumstances of Peter Mandelson, we'd have won." I want his face on the election loss.

Concrete proof of what? We know he appointed Mandelson, we know Mandelson was a corrupt associate of the world's most famous pedophile, and we know that all this was known at the time of the appointment. What is it that you're needing more proof of?

Guys, I know you ‘stand with Starmer’, but please don’t pretend that those of us who warned about Mandelson’s appointment *from the start*, when the media, Tories and Farage were all supporting it, are being led by the media now.

he's looking forward to the local elections because he thinks the threat levels from the hard left and the hard right have been overblown and he's made a spreadsheet and a diagram explaining. he's made a substack about it

so they had the press secretary fire the labor secretary via tweet but the labor secretary is now like fuck off Oddjob, I'm staying and has lawyered up, just another day in the golden age of America

i think if democrats want to call republicans weird they should be normal

What do you think the "job" of an MP is in this situation, and why isn't pointing out that we are being lied to by a sad fuck of a prime minister as good a shot at it as anything else? What alternative action would you have preferred to see?

If we're going to talk about theatrics and performance why are we starting here and not all the people pretending that this isn't the most insulting, asinine bullshit we've been subjected to since Johnson's crash out?

Is it good if you have to stand in front of parliament and hope that they buy your lies about being ferociously bad at your job, totally incurious about the world around you, because that's the best excuse you could come up with for why you gave the most corrupt man in Westminster a job?

Well, I'm explicitly making the comparison because I think contextualising this is fair. Sultana has made her fair share of bad calls but I fail to see how she came out of this incident looking bad when compared to the shower of garbage the prime minister chose to grace us with.

People who pretend to, I guess.

Wouldst thou understand kind sir that the genocide doth begun under good queen Kamala and she showed the rabble no quarter as she indeed supped on the blood of those moorish children whom angered her so

The Editorial Board C @editorialboard.bsky.social Verily, verily, I say unto you: Democrats pay attention to people who vote, not people who won't. Like everyone else, they respond positively to promises, negatively to threats. If you wanted an end to Netanyahu's genocide, you should have voted for Harris, then made clear what you expect in return.

Clearly someone who knows how to reach real normal everyday people by saying things like “verily, verily, I say unto you:…”

Anxiously waiting for the Labour tiktok cut of Starmer Handling Business today

This is clickbait

I have never been paranoid about how I pronounce forehead but now I am

OK WHAT IS PROPERLY THEN??
