New rule for the Grand National

This is hilarious because it implies that her husband DID call her while she was in space on the ISS to ask her help in looking for something. 💀🌌

ITV dubbing out any mentions of Palestine from the Brits

Looks as if “Free Palestine” has just been bleeped at the Brit Awards.

Blame Canada.. 😡 #curling

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month"

"That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group"

"The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

Oli Dugmore ® INS @OliDugmore • 1h Mandelson was mentoring McSweeney From the aftermath of the Hartlepool by-election to everything that followed - from the reshuffles and internal feuds to the candidate selections and Downing Street manoeuvrings - Mandelson has been there, available to advise the Starmer operation. As one person who worked with McSweeney in opposition puts it, "Morgan wouldn't breathe without consulting Mandelson first." "They talked all the time," observes another. Mandelson was a frequent visitor at McSweeney's home in rural Scotland. The once-close pair have not seen each other since Mandelson's sacking, according to two people familiar with the matter, and are no longer in regular contact.

1 And lo, there came upon the land a time of great Noticing, and many things were Noticed which had gone unseen 2 And the Hacks spake, saying, Whom could’ve known the taking bribes and wrecking his party with bullshit terror adviser guy was a Mandelson plant 3 And, it is a show, that is made of shit

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to
vote Green or Lib Dem.

0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.

Note the timing of Home Office re-press releasing the “most ever raids” & “hardest ever immigration crack down” today.

Signalling alignment with Trump & ICE.

They haven’t got a clue how to make ordinary British people’s lives better, only how to make migrants suffer. #r4today

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.

It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.

This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

At this point I'm wondering who the hell the 13% are! Media owners and spads I guess

Zack Polanski wears a white poppy as he overlooks remembrance ceremony at the cenotaph

If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

For my scary Halloween costume this year I’m going to dress up as a person who phones someone to respond to a text message.

Private rent in Britain now swallows 44% of the average wage Monthly cost jumps to record £1,385 outside London, and £2,736 in the capital, with hotspots showing hefty rises

Private rent in UK now swallows 44% of the average wage.

Monthly cost jumps to record £1,385 outside London, £2,736 in the capital.

Lack of social and affordable housing, no rent controls, as govts appease corporations and the rich.

Profiteering creating poverty/despair, stifling economic growth.

John Rentoul @rentouljohn.bsky.soc... • 4h → Replied to John Rentoul What do people mean when they say Labour should be more left wing? www.independent.co.uk/voices/three... Of course Labour should be trying to give people something to vote for, but if that means putting up taxes to pay for further increases in public spending, and allowing the small boats to continue to arrive, then that is only going to make it harder to fight off Reform in those Labour-Reform marginal seats. The left-turners say that Labour isn't going to beat Reform by aping Nigel Farage, but it could equally be said that Labour isn't going to hold onto its voters by aping Zack Polanski, the Corbynite leader of the Greens. The lesson of Carphilly is that Labour lost a large chunk of its vote to Reform - as well as losing a lot of tactical voters to Plaid. Labour needs to hold onto as many of those voters as possible in those seats across England where the next general election will be decided, as things currently stand, while at the same time benefiting from anti-Reform tactical voting.

I’d start with things like e.g. not ripping off Enoch Powell speeches or fighting tooth and nail for the unlimited right of foreign football fash to kick in heads on British streets, and work out from there

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

Steven Swinford • @Steven_Swinford X.com Exclusive from @Geri_E_L_Scott and @matt_dathan The Home Secretary has told Europe's human rights that questioning the validity of the Supreme Court's trans ruling is 'unacceptable Shabana Mahmood accused Michael O'Flaherty, the Council of Europe's human rights commissioner, of misrepresenting the government's legal position on protest, counterterrorism and the treatment of transgender people. O'Flaherty warned that trans guidance that will be introduced in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling could exclude trans people from many areas of life Mahmood said: 'I would like to take this opportunity to emphasise that I consider it unacceptable to question the validity of the Supreme Court in making this decision 'The court has provided legal clarity on this issue,

Pretty amazing that the main left party won’t speak up for anyone’s rights except fascist football hooligans and maybe poisonously reactionary newspaper columnists and billionaire crackpot authors - and that it is *extremely* belligerent in the defence of both - but here we now are.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

A BLIND ELDERLY man using a mobility cane is ARRESTED for holding a sign which read "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

#PalestineAction #GazaGenocide

If the media and politicians continually discriminate against Muslims,people of colour and women, why are we surprised that some police officers wont be influenced by that? A former PM once likened Muslim women to bank robbers, and we have heard the worst language about migrants since Enoch Powell.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
