Really mad that they can't seem to see how bad this looks

Margaret Hodge, who was given a peerage by Keir Starmer, says there's nothing wrong with cronyism.

Hodge is currently the governments official anti corruption champion.

One big political divide is between people who believe germs cause disease and people who believe Those People cause disease. It was pretty evident right away during the pandemic

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of
- new account fatigue
- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue

No it's a push poll

Der Stermer, funded by the British tax payer

it's not a coincidence the most anti-LGBT+ government since Thatcher is also the government with the most paedophile scandal since Thatcher

Again, from freebiegate, to Mandleson, to Doyle just a consistent theme of behaviour that would be unacceptable and, frankly, result in a disciplinary in the private sector is just normalised in parliament.

A real, persistent problem for our politics that it is so endemic and normalised.

Keir Starmer very much Chose not to know cause Knowing would make him responsible. Clever little lawyer man trick he thinks we’re all too stupid to see

The thing about all this Mandelson stuff is that actually dealing with it would require basically disestablishing at least 3 major political parties, banning their members from politics, jailing a lot of people and shutting down at least 4 national newspapers. Don't really see that happening soon.

Starmerism undefeated in corruption and antidemocratic behaviour

American empire vs it's competitor

I think it's only reasonable that they all resign and let the public have another chance to approve or reject the acolytes of the "prince of darkness"

Israeli soldier photographed beheading a statue of Jesus with a hammer: IDF immediately posts multiple English-language condemnations and "we will investigate" "this is not who we are" etc

Israeli soldiers videotaped throwing a tied up and blindfolded Palestinian prisoner off a roof: 🦗🦗🦗🦗

We can joke about Dorries being in favour of T here, but this, too, is rubbing it in people's faces. Cis people can have all the hormonal gender affirming care they want.

What good would it have done if the civil servants hadn't "hidden" the vetting failure? Would the outcome differ?

Phillipson appointed Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC chair *despite* not one but two select committes warning her not to!

This government installs all the wrong people because it wants to.

Professional FP people are great at pretending to be normal and then coming out with the most racist thing you've ever heard

'very serous people' do assume that if Iran gets nukes they'll immediately nuke Israel because they think Muslims don't respond to MAD incentives like humans do

"people are willing to pay you to say things you wanted to say anyway" (but only things they want others to hear) is a pretty good description of the state of anglosphere journalism and why it's Like That

In Britain, it is a sin - not to lie - but to call a liar a liar

I'm sorry to all those who love "pokemon(sexY)" but I cannot follow you down that path

BNP Broadcasting Network. The media wanted the blackshirts in '39 and haven't forgiven the rest of us since

'not as bad as the world wars', I write about my war which is going pretty well if you ask me

"rule 1 - the king decides. Rule 2 - the king's six sclerotic gems decide. Rule 3 - if neither side can get the king or them gems to intervene, see the rest of the course material"

It's proana for misogynists

this entire news cycle is the most insulting shit in the world. why are we litigating whether starmer technically lied or if he insulated himself behind enough layers of deniability to be merely world endingly stupid instead. questions raised about technicalities in darth vader’s vetting processs.
