A truly spectacular self-awareness fail

Operation SOS Keir Starmer loyalists are already plotting their propaganda strategy for when Labour take a historic walloping in the May elections

Starmer loyalists have already drawn up their Save Our Starmer strategy for when Labour takes an unprecedented electoral hammering in May.

It's just as absurd and cynical as you'd expect from this bunch of absolute charlatans.

Why you won't find AI slop on AAV It's a lot easier to create content if you use genAI to write your stuff for you, and easier still if you don't even bother fact checking the results, but I won't be doing that

Is Keir Starmer "actually one of our most popular PMs ever"? It's hard to believe, but there are still some Keir Starmer true believers out there!

It's not April Fool's Day yet.

There are actually still some Starmer true believers out there who think he's really popular, and that there's some kind of all encompassing conspiracy between right-wingers, the media, and polling companies to make him look unpopular.

Symbolism above Substance How are people so ignorant and easily led that they'll buy into the right-wing outrage over Churchill's rotation off the £5 note, when the same people crying about it want to erase his actual legacy?

The hypocrisy of the right-wing performative outrage grifters is absolutely off the scale

David Lammy's deceptive diatribe Keir Starmer and David Lammy are attempting to abolish the right to choose a trial by jury for all but the most extreme cases, and Lammy's defence of this strategy is absolutely diabolical

David Lammy is being deeply deceptive about his plan to erase our historic right to a fair trial by a jury of our peers (in all but the most serious of cases).

Sun headline about £500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look

Israel made us do it! Senior US government figures admit that they only attacked Iran because they knew Israel was going to attack Iran.

According to extraordinary statements from Mark Rubio and Mike Johnson yesterday, the US decided to attack Iran because they knew Israel was going to attack Iran.

Apparently US military policy is no longer decided in The White House, Congress, or the Pentagon … it’s decided in Tel Aviv.

Having a stiff upper lip and taking setbacks on the chin like adults is about as traditional a British value as you can get, and Farage's cry-baby politics is about as far from that as you can imagine.

Nigel Farage's pathetic cry-baby politics The Faragists lost the Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday, yet they're still crying and spouting smears and conspiracy theories now.

The Green Party resoundingly beat Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday, and the Faragist crying, temper tantrums, smears, threats, and conspiracy theories haven't stopped yet.

Maybe Starmer telling Labour's own voters, supporters, and activists to 'eff off if you don't like it' wasn't the big-brain move the Starmtroopers thought it was?

If you don't want to be called "racist" for talking about immigration, don't do it like Brexity Jim It's not "racist" to merely talk about immigration. This article is about immigration. However it is "racist" to use hyperbolic language and tell outright lies about the subject like Jim Ratcliffe did

If you don’t want to be called "racist" for talking about immigration, it’s not hard. Just try not to be an ignorant, offensive, lying, hypocritical shit-head when you do it!

The political spectrum in the UK has been driven so far to the right that the Labour Party of today is far to the right of the Tory party before Thatcher came along with her radical agenda of privatisation, financial sector deregulation, and deliberate deindustrialisation.

Nigel Farage's pitch to the worst people in Britain Nigel Farage says that he wants to cut the price of a pint by 5p, and pay for it by re-imposing economic sanctions on British children for the "crime" of having more than one sibling.

Nigel Farage says that he wants to cut the price of a pint by 5p, and pay for it by re-imposing economic sanctions on British children for the "crime" of having more than one sibling

Farage doesn’t just know his target audience is a bunch of venal idiots, with this policy he’s openly banking on it

It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist - this isn't about representing the people of Gorton and Denton, it's about using this place as a platform for their careers.

Manchester will show him the door.

If Keir Starmer considered it his job to destroy the Labour Party from within and leave it in an unrecoverable position, he couldn't be doing it much better, could he?

Who funds the Free Speech Union? Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors

So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit

Reform UK does like one kind of immigrant Reform UK welcome Nadim Zahawi with open arms

The marriage of convenience between inti-immigrant rabble rousers Reform UK and Iraqi-born former Tory austerity-wrecker Nadhim Zahawi seems quite odd, but it makes sense from a class perspective.

If billionaires, city bankers, and exploitative corporations dramatically increase their wealth and profits at a time of practically zero economic growth, and the government vehemently resists progressive wealth redistribution policies, what happens to the living standards of the ordinary majority?

How the world's richest man is boosting the British right How the world's richest man is boosting the British right

Facebook is also going down a similar path, injecting people's feeds with around 33% content from pages they don't follow, much of it extreme-right and conspiracy nonsense, even to users who have never followed or engaged with such content.

How the world's richest man is boosting the British right How the world's richest man is boosting the British right

Interesting data analysis demonstrating what Twitter users already know through experience. Elon Musk has turned it into a extreme-right propaganda factory, where right-wing accounts are boosted by the algorithm, and left-leaning users are flooded with right-wing content, despite not following it.

Which one is more English?

Keir Starmer finally comes out fighting ... Keir Starmer has finally come out fighting, but not in the interests of ordinary British people. Instead he's intent on sticking up for violent, racist, Israeli football thugs!

Too much doom scrolling Social media exposure and doom-scrolling is bad for my mental health, but what's it doing to humanity as a whole?

It's bad for my mental health

Starmer has lost the 'centrist dads' Keir Starmer has lost the centrist dad types who hang out in the Guardian comments section, and the only thing the tiny minority of Starmer acolytes have got left is desperate Farage fear-mongering

Not even the Guardian-reading “centrist dad” types are prepared to defend Starmer’s self-inflicted Mandelson/Epstein scandal

The culture war only serves to distract us from the class war we're losing Establishment elitists are desperate to use culture war to divide us, and distract us from the class war they're beating us at

Establishment elitists are desperate to use culture war tactics to divide us, and distract us from the class war they're beating us at.

The culture war has reached a whole new depth of stupidity How stewed in far-right ultranationalism would you have to be to imagine that it's patriotic to scrawl your national flag on the ground for cars to drive over?

How pickled in far-right ultranationalism would you have to be to imagine that it's patriotic to scrawl your national flag on the ground for cars to drive over?
