Again: if we forever block change for the better, then guess what type of change we are going to get instead.
One of the strongest reasons to regret the decline of the left is that it has led victims of political and economic failure to believe that Reform is a solution to their problems. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Inside Horden, the County Durham town failed by politics

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet
Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

Tim Allan’s lobbying firm ownership sparks calls for investigation into Keir Starmer’s comms chief. Zack Polanski: “This isn’t about individuals — it’s about the state of the Labour Party.” Serious pattern emerging.
Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments.
This isn’t really about individuals.

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.
Do we think that a) Epstein is the only person Mandy was doing favours for? and b) Mandy is the only one doing favours for people?
Do we?

Labour MPs urge Starmer to ‘get out there’ with Trump-style media strategy
Some in his party argue the prime minister’s cautious approach is out of step with modern politics
Senior Labour figures are urging Keir Starmer to take a leaf out of Donald Trump’s book and make more frequent media appearances in an attempt to dominate the political agenda as the US president does.
MPs told the Guardian they want the prime minister to act more like Trump, who has upended political convention by televising large parts of his cabinet, holding long bilateral meetings on camera and calling in to live television shows. Continue reading...

If we’d learned in 2018 that e.g. Seumas Milne was passing privileged government info to a secret network of influence-peddling sex offenders led by the world’s most notorious nonce - do you think the lads would struggle to understand why that had grave implications, far beyond Milne’s office?

It would help if every centrist who says they’d love to abolish ICE or end a genocide or protect trans people or get to universal healthcare but “you have to think about elections” would admit they just don’t want to do any of those things and are quietly fine with fascism if it doesn’t touch them.

The ocean just hit its highest heat level on record.
In 2025, ocean heat content set a new record for the ninth year in a row. Scientists estimate the ocean gained about 23 zettajoules of heat, which raises sea level and can fuel extreme weather.

Not the point but I hate that “Kumbaya” is used as this hippy-dippy, thought terminating peacenik cliché… it’s a Gullah song, it’s a desperate plea to God for aid, begging him to “come by here”. Yet somehow enslaved Africans pleading for something better gets twisted into sarcasm and cynicism.
Or more accurately: *there is no road to recovery for Labour* because the moment they were put under scrutiny, it became crystal clear that it is infested with squealing little dorks like this who implacably hate liberals and the left, and are forever fantasising about new crackdowns upon them.
