Me all day: "I'm so tired"

Also me, at 2am, taking a quiz to find out what kind of cheese I am:

I just cannot wait to see Sir Kier Starmer completely broken, his dream in ruins.

UNACCEPTABLE

It's fucking miserable how pathetic the tech fash billionaires are

To be Frank…. this sounds like General Practice

Your occasional reminder @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social @skinnock.bsky.social that there are 6300 Neighbourhood Health Centres within walking distance of 85% of the population

FUND GENERAL PRACTICE

Just an insane and ahistorical justification

"well it's a fair point" is kinda amazing

Does anyone else see the dark hand of Jeremy Corbyn behind this latest scandal? Could he have been working with Olly Robbins to put Mandelson in post, knowing fine well that this would undermine the vital mission of Starmer's government?

Watch how everyone involved in this Mandelson business has ensured that - at every step - they have a degree of plausible deniability. This is how people in senior positions get away with doing what they see as necessary while covering their arses.

I'll be honest with you, people don't like Keir on the door but it's not over this Mandelson thing. They don't like him personally

Great news boss, this Mandelson stuff isn’t cutting through on the doorstep because they already think you’re a cunt

What if... what really makes Britain "ungovernable" is... the nature of its political media and of its political class?

we have a whole political and media class that has basically made policy making of any import impossible for nearly two decades by treating anything other than spending cuts and authoritarianism as "unserious" and/or "reckless"

Why would I look at the site I want to see burnt to the ground?

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.

yeah dudes get real uncomfy when you tell them "the birth rate crisis" is because children are getting SAed less

It is important to keep in mind that a lot of the natalist panic in the West is in response to a successful feminist push to reduce the rates of child rape.

(Teenage girls are statistically most often knocked up by adult men. I think the average age is around 23.)

Hinged on the weird tacit implication that the Foreign Office had any interest in Mandelson being ambassador

That awkward moment when the guy you decide is going to take the fall turns out to be a basically competent human being who can accurately describe what happened and your whole Machiavellian plan falls apart.

He was DPP when the CPS declined to prosecute Saville. But he apparently didn't know anything about that either.

i've been saying this lol. it's very funny to see rightwingers in the celtic fringe jump on the reform bandwagon. i'm a foreign migrant? ok, well, you're a national traitor, so.

Forensic, detail minded thinking

Let them burn up and die in the next GE?

It's a nice turn of phrase where you could use instrinsically or inherently.

lol

Worried all this Peter Mandelson business is going to distract from whatever the hell Keir Starmer's policy agenda is, and could undermine confidence in him with his supporter.

Well they won't give them any later support. But folks with adhd that isn't supported are at higher risk of health problems and ending up in prison. So society incurs costs elsewhere.

The Dems had four years to throw Trump and collaborators in jail and they didn't do it, I don't believe they'll do it the next time they have the chance either.

Under Biden pro-Palestine protestors were arrested and beaten while Trump remained free 👍

I get you don't want to do even a modicum of leg work to learn how corporate donations influence policy, you don't have to keep repeating yourself.

But I will say no govt that accepts donations from health companies will abolish the NHS internal market
