It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

We should repeat this every day: russia is intentionally, deliberately, murdering Ukrainian children, day after day, for the sheer pleasure of it.
We can never forgive this—and above all, we have no right to forgive it.
These crimes will haunt the russians—all russians—for as long as they exist.

While I am unlikely to use your resources (although TBH I haven't seen them yet), I promise to always acknowledge them.

I'm a hookland virgin, i'm afraid.
So unsure what to expect.

Your posts seem kind of weird.
I like that, and so have followed you.

Narrator: in fact, he had quite a lot of cards.

Who does this description of Kaiser Wilhelm II remind you of? (Written by Christopher Clark in 2015).

Replacing FPTP byAdopting a proportional representation system would be be a good start.
AFAIK It doesn't cross any of Starmer's red lines (Labour is already committed to some kind of electoral reforms) but, with a natural progressive majority in the country, Reform could never gain power.

"Help us, astrology! You're our only hope!"

The 'over a sustained period' bit is important.
The EU will clearly be worried that the next election could see Farage as PM.
Changing to a PR voting system would reduce this risk.

My concern is that, once the idea of rejoining the EU goes mainstream, the right-wing press, the BBC, etc. will pull out all the stops to oppose it - as they did in 2016.
Add to that the likely campaigns on Facebook and social media - again think of what happened just before the brexit vote.

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸

Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in.

This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.

Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

Nothing says local party like calling the people of Watford, Hertfordshire, Londoners…

This goes a long way to explaining why Starmer/Lammy not informed over the vetting opinion of the security services. Stupid process that such information is withheld even from the PM. Needs changing.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

You can’t expect Keir Starmer to have known Mandelson was dodgy as fuck. Nobody told him.

Probably nobody told him Israel was committing war crimes either.
Or that the two-child benefit cap was starving kids.
Or that trans people are human beings.
Or that immigrants are a net benefit.

I don't normally publish conversations with Downing Street but this was my initial exchange with Downing Street's then director of communications over Mandelson failing vetting on 11 September last

Notable post over on the everything app from the Indy’s David Maddox showing he put claims Mandelson had failed vetting to Number 10 in September last year

When Russia invaded Ukraine to take its land, I was against it.

When Israel invaded Lebanon to take its land, I was against it.

I am consistent that way.

BREAKING: We're taking the government to court over Palantir Peter Thiel's surveillance firm is embedded in the NHS. Wes Streeting won't show us the briefings - so we have launched a legal challenge.

BREAKING: We’re taking the government to court over Palantir.

The government is refusing to hand over important briefings given to Wes Streeting about the £330m NHS data contract with Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm

So we’re taking legal action.

We’re fighting for transparency over Palantir NHS briefing documents | Good Law Project Wes Streeting is refusing to publish documents that will provide the truth about the risks of Palantir’s systems for handling our health records, so we’re fighting back

In public, Wes Streeting is furiously back-pedaling from his earlier Palantir cheerleading.

But in private he is refusing to let us see what civil servants told him about Palantir

So, with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social, we are taking him to court to try and force him to hand over the briefings.

Well played Magyar!

We need political parties that are planning on doing this.
All deliberate media agitation networks and press need closing and replaced by those that actually do the job of reporting news.
