The problem with Starmer is that he has no philosophical hinterland. He's an empty vessel. Tabula rasa. A Manchurian candidate.

The IDF Bombed A Synagogue In Iran. So Why Wasn’t It Reported By The British Media? On 10 April 2026, the Israeli Defence Forces carried out a bombing raid on Iran’s capital, Tehran. One of the causalities of this raid was the Rafi’-Nia synagogue. Yet, this incident wa…

My first blog in a couple of weeks is about the IDF's bombing of the Rafi'-Nia synagogue in Tehran and the strange media silence.

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won. Here are the numbers...

After the Phillips accusation, Georgia cut the number of ballot dropboxes in Black-majority counties by 75%, while increasing the number of dropboxes in majority White counties. This was a major component of Trump’s purloined “win” in 2024. www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

Mr. Colbert, your take-down of Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he was tele-transported to a Waffle House was so hilarious I spit my milk out through my nose.

But I’m not laughing anymore. Phillips may choose our next president, he’s that powerful. In fact, he chose our current one.

We have Brexit. When we travel to EU countries we have to join a very long queue for passport control. There's no free movement. What else did these people want? A fence around the coastline? The expulsion of anyone who doesn't look 'authentically British'? What? /2

I think when Brexit ultras say that Brexit wasn't 'done properly', they're admitting that Brexit itself had no meaning other than the one that individuals gave it. People projected all kinds of things onto Brexit and now, they're disappointed that it doesn't match up to their expectations. /1

Trump would probably tell his patient that he deserves to be in bed more than they do. Then, he'd rummage through their belongings, stealing anything of monetary value. /3

That reminds me, I used to have a piece in my set in which I imagined Dr Ian Paisley as a hospital registrar doing his rounds. It was mostly improvised and delivered in his fire and brimstone style. /2

Trump's now saying the AI-generated image of him as Christ was actually depicting him as a doctor. I shudder to think what his bedside manner is like. /1

Well, it was good enough for that great Labour government of Clement Attlee in the immediate aftermath of WW2!

Perhaps we need @greenparty.org.uk to help us recover from 14 long years of Tory misrule...?

A worker died in a Amazon warehouse in Oregon.

For more than an hour the workers in the facility were ordered to continue working as the man lay dead.

One worker tried to help, but a manager told him “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work.“

EVIL.

The Reform local election PEB, starring Robert Generic, is focused, not on local issues, like bins and potholes, but on national ones. Since when was the state pension administered by local authorities? Lunacy.

Britain's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers? | Frances Ryan Carer’s allowance turns 50 this year, but it’s no reflection of the labour of the millions who cook, clean and nurse behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

“Meet the nation’s ghost workforce: a growing army of unpaid cooks, nurses, cleaners and physios who slog away day and night, out of sight behind their front doors.”

Today’s column is on the UK’s 6 million unpaid carers propping up the broken social care system. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour faces a green apocalypse at the local elections

Yes. That's the plan.

Trump sets Tuesday night deadline for the massive war crime against Iran The United States is on the brink of a moral and political catastrophe. This is the inescapable conclusion to be derived from Donald Trump’s press conference on Monday.

Every word Trump said implicates the government of the United States in a crime of Hitlerian proportions. He says openly what the Nazi leaders discussed behind closed doors. That is a measure of the decay and degradation of world capitalism in the 21st century.

I heard Trump channelling General Curtis Le May this morning. Does anyone want to remind him what happened in Vietnam? Oh, hang on, "bone spurs".

Why are journalists not writing articles about this...?

They have the power !

GB News faces complaints after commentator claims ‘genocide’ against white people in UK Ofcom receives 24 complaints over Thomas Corbett-Dillon’s remarks that immigrants could “turn” on white population

I think we all know that GB "News" isn't in the business of news gathering. It exists solely to disseminate conspiracy theories and spread disinformation.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

If you support Cuba against evil US aggression.

Show it.
