wonder how the person who loudly played Things Can Only Get Better when Rishi Sunak announced the 2024 election is feeling today

And to think he was overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Looking forward to Labour going the way of the Liberal Party and having to merge with George Galloway's wingnut party or, hell, even the Liberal Democrats, just to keep having a horse in the race.

Labour will never give that to you. They've been bought. The Labour Party founded on this day in 1900 died 30 years ago. End your affiliation and back the Greens.

the real tragedy of Zack Polanski is that you just can't chant his name to "Seven Nation Army"

i wonder what the connection could possibly be between posting virulent transphobia and becoming a far-right conspiracy theorist. hmm

next election it's a tossup between the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party, the Keep Leopards Away From Grannies and Children And In Fact Sedate The Leopards Party, the Leopards Gnawing On People's Jawbones A Bit Party and the Actually WE Want To Be The Ones Inflicting Leopards On Your Nan Party

it was enough in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2024. fifth time lucky?

our great-grandparents' generation went through six years of bombing raids and mass death and decided to create a better world. the last two generations went through 29 years of ASBOs, unchecked crony capitalism stripping our economy for parts, Brexit and a plague. hope is possible again

it will be genuinely very funny if the last 30-odd years of ConLab cruelty winds up resulting in the most progressive government we've had since 1945

The Labour Party now think I am a far-left extremist because I support policies that were in the 2017 and 2019 Labour Party manifestos.

It'll go lower.

keir starmer rn: ohh, if i rescind a few more rights from the electorate, do you think they'll vote for me? 🥺 maybe i should curtail the right to freedom of expression a little more? 🥺 what if we straight up took away the right to vote from anyone under 25? 🥺 how can i be losing? i'm so forensic 😖

I'd go so far as to say that Unite the Union and other major unions should end their relationship with the Labour Party and throw their weight behind the Greens. Continuing to support Labour frankly risks the unions wrecking an actual chance at democracy and indirectly supporting fascism.

Now we need to take a lesson from the Nouveau Front Populaire's routing of the Le Pen project in 2024 and form a strong coalition of left-aligned factions to defeat Faragism. A Reform government is NOT inevitable. There IS hope.

oh my god, i wasn't expecting it to be that big a margin. bloody hell.

woke is back, baby. it's good again. awooouuu (woke Howl)

I picked a good month to join the Green Party, then.

just kidding, they'd survive. like cockroaches

Galaxy brain meme. Panel 1: Jonathan Harker found paprika hendl spicy because he is pathetically English. Panel 2: Hungarian paprika ranges from mild to very spicy; it's perfectly possible our friend Jonathan was served the spicy stuff Panel 3: "paprika hendl uses sweet paprika" recipes change quickly over time an dplace, Jonathan may have been served a regional variant Panel 4 (text running off bottom): PAPRIKA USED TO BE SPICER holy shit it used to be spicier before sweeter peppers were cultivated in the 1920s. plus the machine to remove the spicy pith and seeds was only invented in the 1860s. 19th century Hungarian cuisine was simply spicier than its modern counterpart. not to mention how even "mild" paprikca can cause indigestion which is why it's so frequently served with sour cream

WELCOME TO THE DRACULA PAPRIKA DISCOURSE!!

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.
