Just a tiny tiny tiny group of mates all getting each other on their TV shows to tell each other the pig people have had it too good for too long.
Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain" I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Labour politician

Healthcare is a basic human right. The parasitic class does not have a right to make any profit off of denying people's basic needs. "Somebody has to deny claims", no actually, you cannot justify being part of a system that denies people their basic human rights by being just a cog in the machine.
Somebody has to deny claims, though 90% of UHC's revenue goes to medical claims, 7% goes to administrative overhead, and 3% is profit. Could be better, I guess, but high medical care costs really lie with providers and drug costs.
Yes it's a shame that people like Brian Thompson justified injustice such as denying people healthcare claims. Thankfully he was brought to justice in the end, a justice that the legal system would have never provided.
With all due apologies to the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett, I believe he said something along the lines of "evil is when you start treating people as things". Once you start justifying injustice, even against the unjust, you're embracing a dark path.

Labour party officials have been calling those who disagree with them "fleas" saying they have no right in the party, gloating as they left the party in droves. Sorry, but Starmer's faction has objectively acted way more vile than any leftist. If someone says things back at them, it's self-defence
"Require users to use their real names" Sure, do you also want me to post my family's names, my home address, the name of my employer and my bank account details while you're at it? No way anyone would ever abuse that.
I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @london.gov.uk and @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti. Imprisoned for 25 years. An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial. Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me." Free Marwan. freemarwan.org

You’ve got to have some gall to be the director of an organisation called More in Common while also framing immigration as a problem to be solved
The glue that can unite both wings is economics, Mamdanism even. But you have to be properly credible enough on immigration both legal and crossings, but of course won’t out bid Reform, but that credibility gets you a hearing then to do the economic/climate piece that unites your coalition.
I'm not American so I can't comment about American men specifically. But yes, I fully endorse the idea that 90% of men shouldn't be involved in politics. More than 90% really.
if we're disqualifying everyone who ever had a nazi phase, that would remove like 90% of american men from the political process. its completely ridiculous. people change.
Polanski is leaning in the right direction in his analysis of the Corbyn years, although some things are still lacking. He only really focuses on the Israel angle, which makes sense since slander by pro-Israel actors is something he's experienced. But the role the GLU played is bigger IMO.
Zack Polanski's comments on Jeremy Corbyn and in particular on antisemitism in his New Statesman interview are causing a big reaction this morning. Here is a thread of what he said and the Labour party official response - although do read the full interview

Following the release of the Epstein files, I'm assuming by default that anyone who guns this hard for Israel, has a tape out there of them fucking kids. Schumer, the ultimate Israel simp, is probably such a massive pedophile he makes Jimmy Saville look tame by comparison.
I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.
Imagine living through the 70s, the era of the Black Panthers, the SDS, second-wave feminism and gay rights. And instead of being involved in history being made, you were crawling around in shit and mud, getting shot at by Viet Cong for a bunch of rich white men. And these losers are proud of it.
I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

The story of US intervention is a story of suffering, misery and chaos. How many more catastrophic failures will it take before we learn the lesson? My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the illegal invasion of Venezuela. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/01/star...
