With McSweeney gone, how will Starmer get his best ideas?
Some of his best hits includes appeasing the Far Right, selling everything to Palantir, repressing pro-Palestine protesters, demonising migrants, censoring a crucial climate report and being more transphobic than even some US republicans

Albanese’s stupid, immoral decision to invite Herzog has inflamed divisions in the local Jewish community too.

Labor is setting up a new committee to oversight Defence which should be a good thing except it will be a secret club committee with membership only from the Liberals and Labor. It's a stitch up and they just won't stop running political interference from AUKUS.

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

Anyone who is paying attention to the reality of AUKUS (not Labor and Richard Marles) knows we’ll never get any subs and the US will just squeeze as much money out of us as they can before officially admitting this. It’s time to find some backbone and get out of AUKUS!

Word choice matters. It shapes perception. I notice the Guardian Aus headline refers to "hateful, racist ideology". Yet ABC News reports it as "pro-white ideology". 🤔 #InvasionDay #BombAttack #Terrorism #racism #auspol

The moment @albomp.bsky.social shakes hands with Herzog when he arrives will mark the beginning of the end of Albo’s political career.
It’s a picture that will haunt his career and legacy.

I asked the AFP if they are investigating any involvement in war crimes by Isaac Herzog. They say he is entirely immune from prosecution for this.
