”How is this legal” is a really funny thing for a republican to say in 2026

People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing

I’m going to need video footage and / or a transcript

Are Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson #unaustralian ? Why do they prefer the profits of a foreign cartel over gas revenues for Australians?

The Point Live: Business and gas companies have their say on gas tax proposals. Representatives from the Business Council, Shell and ConocoPhillips are among those fronting the gas tax senate inquiry today, while the health minister lays out proposed changes to the NDIS.

ATO asked to comment on the line from 2019 that oil and gas were "systemic non-payers of tax".

The ATO repeats the line that oil and gas were among the small number of firms that they said in 2019 were "systemic non payers"

So yeah. They said it. Fact check that, Shell Oil

Megyn Kelly drops a BOMBSHELL on Fox

“After 14 years inside Fox News, I’m exposing what viewers refuse to see—how the network became a propaganda machine designed to cheerlead wars, worship Trump, and feed manufactured rage instead of facts.”

Not a fan, but she’s not wrong.

“Bila, a river cycle, was written by award-winning Wiradjuri poet Jazz Money and illustrated by Matt Chun. It’s an environmentally-focused book that tells the story of a river’s journey from mountain to sea and the people who pollute the waterways.” #auspol

Al Jazeera’s Labour Files and The Forde Report, which was commissioned by Starmer, and was subsequently ignored by Labour leadership, both found that whilst it was a problem, it was nowhere near levels of anti Black and anti Islamic racism suffered by female members of the party 2/2

This is what fossil fuel top execs get paid the big bucks for:
to dissemble, obfuscate and evade accountability in public.

While privately lobbying to ensure government ministers are far more attentive to their profits than to the national interest. #auspol

Israeli Bastardry continues

*Statues of Jesus* have more legal protections than Palestinians or Lebanese civilians, who you can slaughter in droves without complaints

I mean, just take any single aspect of this, just one part, and it would’ve been an era-defining political scandal anywhere on the planet. It’s *at least* as bad as e.g. Sarkozy taking election funding from a Libyan dictator, then launching a war against Libya in which its dictator is killed.

The Mandelson Affair Was Survivable. Starmer’s Explanation Was Not. The Limits of Process Politics

‘There were only a smattering of journalists and MPs openly saying the Mandelson appointment was a bad idea’
 
Here’s the problem. *LOTS* of us thought it was a terrible idea. But MPs and lobby journos are cut off from everyone but themselves. 🧵

goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/the-mandel...

The Starmer people tried pushing "trump wanted him and that's why he needed to be appointed" and this is extremely not what happened at allm

The whole 'Starmer only appointed Mandelson because he knew he was dodgy and Trump would like him' line only works if you ignore:
a) the fact that Trump almost vetoed the appointment himself.
b) Labour Together.
It's unserious as a claim.

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

It's a nightmare on Downing Street: Starmer has no one left to blame for this Mandelson horror show Marina Hyde Olly Robbins's testimony will have been painful for the PM. The No 10 omnishambles was publicly laid bare - and Keir's fresh out of scapegoats

ow dare Olly Robbins not have made me look like a chaotic, unprincipled plonker?" minister to go for. But we are where we are. Never mind "this is the future liberals want": this is the past that Keir Starmer wants. What follows is the alternative branch of history the endlessly victimised PM apparently wishes we'd lived through instead. In this version, he chooses a career liability to be US ambassador, who is well known to have been big pals with a notorious sex trafficker of underage girls and to have spent years involved in questionable business associations, some with Russian and Chinese firms. He immediately announces the appointment. When that guy is deemed a risk by the famously stringent developed national security vetting process - seriously, who'd-a-thunk-it?! - then Starmer has to go out and tell the public that the wrong 'un isn't actually going to be his US ambassador after all, for "reasons". Not to be one of the many people who has to explain how basic politics works to the PM, but after that notional fiasco, we'd have spent a very long time indeed talking about his bad judgment. Just like we are now. It's almost as if all branches of history lead to a discussion about Keir Starmer's bad judgment. The only person who doesn't judge this to be the situation is Keir Starmer, which is another instance of his bad judgment. Monday found him chuntering away at the dispatch box like an arsonist complaining about the price of matches.

Mmm yes, what kind of idiots could ever believe this stuff was going to be a big hit

What would we be saying now if it transpired that e.g. Seumas Milne had been passing privileged info to foreign criminals linked to intelligence services, and had non-transparent exposure to Russian oligarchs and Chinese business interests? And we didn’t make that guy an ambassador.
