Having had the misfortune of hearing him interviewed before, it is not a surprise to see that Matt Vickers really is a fucking imbecile #newsnight

Ha ha Vickers ffs shut up, everyone is looking at you thinking 🔔 end #Newsnight

Tory MP Matt Vickers is more than a bit of a twat eh? #Newsnight

The art of the deal ⬇️

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

LIVE | Keir Starmer faces MP interrogation over Mandelson scandal YouTube video by Daily Record

It's becoming clearer that Trump wanted Mandelson in that post - another friend of Epstein, money obsessed, devious, a lifelong liar, similarly toxic & a malignant narcissist. Birds of a feather, sure to be on the side of evil. Starmer said yes to appease Trump.

Still the best description of Trump ⬇️

On the other hand, would a ruling cabal of Vance, Hegseth, Rubio etc be any better? Surely they would end the demented tweets at least? They probably wouldn't have joined Israel's insane attack on Iran - but too late for that now. The immediate hope is for a crushing defeat in the November elections

How low can Trump go? Allowing his inner Angry Child to take over is a sure sign of advanced dementia. What does this say about the USA? THIS is the will of the people? - allowing a dangerous geriatric orange toddler to rule by decree, with no checks or restraints from the Congress? Incredible.

Starmer of course would have agreed to Trump's requests or demands, not least because McSweeney, Blair and Mandelson himself would urge him to do so. Nobody doubts that Starmer would be in regular phone or personal contact with these people - they're the ones who were behind his bid for the top job.

The best qualification was the urging of Trump to appoint Mandelson. Obviously he didn't want a professional diplomat in that key post. He much preferred a friend of Epstein who had visited Paedo House frequently. Also someone who shared his love of wealth, Russia, authoritarian government, etc.

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!

Blairite Douglas Alexander's performance on #r4today was woefully bad, as always. He utterly failed to deal with reasonable questions from Robbo. He could have said, with hindsight it was simply a mistake to appoint Mandelson, especially ahead of the vetting . . . lessons have been learned blah blah

Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump.
It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both.
And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good.

Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes.
Just get your shit together.

It’s worth reading the whole Palantir piece to see that they are leaning in to being the Legion of Doom.

Millions of American have now voted for Trump THREE times.
It's an act of gross naivety and in some cases stupidity to vote for ReformUK PLC even ONCE. Likewise voting Tory after the 14 years of devastation they inflicted on our country. These people do NOT have the answers to our problems.

Encountering the fascists outside Waterloo It's clear now that we are in a battle of terrible proportions.

"Over the months and years to come, we will have to fight for our values like never before . . . It will be an exercise in solidarity. And it is through that solidarity that we will show our values and the failure of racism."
And the failure of fascism in Britain.

Trump

Disgusting ugly bullying pig.

“I'm most the pro-American president in Europe. I'm an avid transatlanticist. I want the relationship to work.

Reform is corrupt.
Tice is a tax dodging cheat.
They want power to make money for themselves.
The foreign bribes, the crypto donations, the bitcoin investments, Farage and Kwarteng’s cosy little deals…

They’ll treat the UK and the NHS as their own fire sale.
We must never give it to them.

But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,

“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”

Oh it really can.

You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.

An anthem of resilience and local identity

"We'll Live and Die in These Towns" by The Enemy is an anthem of working-class loyalty - portraying a bittersweet attachment to a hometown. It reflects a 'trapped' feeling, characterized by mundane routines and a lack of opportunities, while acknowledging a deep, stubborn love for one's roots."
