Given that this is Labour, he should make it clear this is for consenting adults only. Well, unless you want to be ambassador I guess...

Remind me, what did the Guardian think of Mandelson before this all kicked off?

Yikes!

That sound you hear is MLK spinning in his grave, which Mahmood would concrete over if only he was buried in the UK. Absolute chefs kiss that the person she said this about wasn't even white. Phenomenal.

Dawn, rest in power, absolutely nailed what Wes is like, the fucking cunt that he is.

This is a great bit of floundering around tbh. Wes is here for Redbridge but we, can't say what the fuck Labour would do in concrete terms because he's got to talk about their boogie man. Local issues, erm except he must opine.on an Islington MP. LOL

It's a good sign when the status page is suspended, right status.bsky.app

Starmer must be doing it right because everyone fucking hates him. More perfect than even the BBC!

Or: *slaps hood of the Labour party*, "you won't believe how many nonces you can fit in this thing!"

Noncing all the way down.

I see the worst, most terrifying racist menaces of the era are the anti-racist and anti-war movements. I note that the hate figures of the era have been Muslims, transgender people, students and leftists, as well as the National Trust, Stonewall and really anyone who upset our horrible newspapers.

Everyone is furiously rallying round the most minor procedural points they can find, because the big question of "how did you all not know the most shady man in politics was shady?" absolutely categorically cannot be asked.

Know the work rules comic. Panel 1: Appropriate Lee Anderson appears at an office cubicle and says “Keir Starmer is a liar” to Lindsay Hoyle, who smiles and says “Awww, you’re sweet.” Panel 2: Inappropriate Zarah Sultana appears at an office cubicle and says “Keir Starmer is a liar” to Lindsay Hoyle, who gets on the phone, angrily yelling “HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!”

I see we're using "inadvertently misled Parliament" instead of "lied" again...

Hoyle is a real finger wagging establishment cunt isn't he? Parliamentary decorum apparently requires the kind of patronising behaviour that'd rightly get you fucking chinned anywhere else.

The decision to repeatedly deploy 250+ cops armed with PAVA spray, tasers, batons, horses, and dogs to force through a group of 30-40 fascists against hundreds of counterprotestors has to be understood not just as the cops "protecting" the fash but actively behaving as their enforcers.

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

Did you a favour IMO. Railing at LBC but unable to address politics in a wider context if it makes red team look bad is real soup for brains bullshit.

"Prove it" followed by "I don't care" is the hallmark of someone who will never connect the dots.

The appointment of a rightwing Labour drone to any public body is a sure-fire sign that it has been captured by corporate and reactionary interests and will shortly slide into irrelevance. Backwards indeed.

The fun part is, she’s saying this to the crooked politician rapid defence force, who all know very well it’s true and cannot freely discuss it without incriminating themselves

If the right sort of chap can easily shrug off e.g. photographic evidence of his close personal relationship with a globally infamous criminal, without anyone much making trouble about it: what does that tell us about the level of accountability that exists in public life

obviously too late now, but I have been struck by the fact that "national labour is about to hand half the councils to reform and none of them give a shit except about what it means for themselves" has not occurred to anyone with a microphone as maybe being a bad thing

Of course it does. Comically evil shit.

What fresh hell is this?

Yes, although I do doubt her intentions. An ex-Labour politician almost never has good motives. Particularly on this subject. A party culture without moral anchor, no need to give them the benefit of the doubt at this stage.

LOL, I should have checked first. Fuck sake.

Or, it might just be a rational realisation that a good number of other drivers are a danger...

And let's be honest here, if you do accidentally hit a kid, you will absolutely wish you had slowed down because that is the answer. Unless you're a monster obviously.
