Having just watched some of the Burnham "Ladbible" interview (ban VAR, Oasis are great, etc) I am not sure whether I was more embarrassed for my Labour friends when Corbyn was leader or now

I don't find it very reassuring that a third of voters in a seat in the capital are blatant racists

Look forward to going to whatever the equivalent event is next year as I can't be there this one

The answer is "the migrants go to Gosport rather than Portsmouth, even though it's logistically idiotic, is because there are still 2 Labour MPs in Portsmouth and none in Gosport"

Maybe this was what Labour were thinking of when they called enjoying a beer far right activity. Oktoberfest at the Drayton Tavern!

Scottish people die at a European-high rate from drug abuse but this is the priority of the SNP. Fucking bonkers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

About 75% of this site is now people posting screenshots of posts from X and making snarky comments about them here

Haven't heard the words "independent football regulator" anywhere in the discussion about Man City. it's going to be left to opine about pie prices and achieve sod all else

As a cohort pensioners are "the rich" but the Greens operate on the level of "AOC wearing a dress with a slogan on it" politics

Not too worried about talk of an early election. Labour are writing the Opposition's campaign material. The pub no longer exists because Labour taxed it to death and your kids hope they earn enough to emigrate when they're older to escape Lucy Powell

Completely ridiculous spectacle of former Lab Chancellor and spouse of a Cabinet Minister giving Wes Streeting a softball interview on social care plans on ITV. No wonder people mistrust broadcasters

I'd have thought Green Party Councillors picketing MP offices calling for them to take a more antisemitic line might be a factor too.

Stephen Morgan's latest disaster as Farms Minister www.thesun.co.uk/news/4048018...

Six arrests, God you'd think it was like the Notting Hill carnival last night the way some people on here carry on. Well done to the people of Gosport for a dignified protest against Labour dumping migrants in a totally inappropriate place www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Absolutely nothing is achieved by bringing migrants ashore at Blockhouse except for dumping the problem out of a constituency with a Labour MP into one with a Tory. It's logistically idiotic. Morgan must have "had a word" with his fellow Ministers

In all this, what strikes me as a final and inescapable conclusion is that it would be best if The News just closed town tomorrow. It's reduced to commentating on social media spats www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/politic...

An important one where we're raising funds for the RNLI.

As usual a majority of the public disagrees with The Guardian, via Yougov

An occasion where the Church of England's quest to destroy Christianity got caught. See you at a silent disco in a cathedral near you soon! www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/news/stateme...

About 500m diverted from public services by Labour. Colossal scandal

Israeli action of this kind is a great way to make British Conservatives who are generally sympathetic to Israel reevaluate their position on Israel's behaviour in the West Bank

Amanda Martin complains about "politicking" around the scrapped Local Government Review. Most of it came from her! She is Labour's representative in Portsmouth, not Portsmouth's representative in Parliament

It's great news for Portsmouth but it does also give impression that Burnham loves a U-turn as much as Starmer. Hundreds of millions already wasted on this www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The late Labour MP Michael Meacher used to stand up in the Commons and demand rent controls, which was generous from someone who had an extensive property empire himself www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Everyone on this platform who's been bigging up Miriam Margoyles in recent years needs to donate some money to an anti-racism charity. I don't make the rules.

Totally unsurprising that Starmer's final act as an MP is to remind everyone of his complete vacuity and vanity. Total failure of a man.

Well Corbyn was a Brexiteer too, but he's never been liberal. It's a very silly basis for making any argument in 2026. The real significance of the announcement is that, coupled with the expected removal of Patel, Badenoch has some room to manoeuvre in her reshuffle

Labour politicians will always put Labour politics ahead of defence www.independent.co.uk/voices/john-...

I worked in publishing and bookselling for a while 15 years ago and it was clear then that what mattered was a good story, true or not, who cares. See also the business of famous fiction authors whose work is now almost entirely ghostwritten

Bizarre Green Councillor thinks we devote too much land for farming and should build on it

Another day, another cancelled Tesco delivery. They really do have some problems as I see looking around the web. Last time I use them for a while.

The BBC have issued a clarification and accepted that the Good Law Project monetised the death of Jason Arday

🚨New from me🚨 With the deadline looming for tech firms to incorporate child safety software into phones, the only handset running SafeToNet's software - the government’s favourite supplier - has been found to be hopelessly insecure and removed from sale. 1/ theuglygame.wordpress.com/2026/08/24/p...

L'affaire Cofnas seems likely to get another academic fraud fired www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/20...

There's actually nothing new in this except that I will say again that it would be a scandal to fund this from public money unless it is massively diluted by the developers

Bag yourself a bargain in Birmingham, western Europe's most corrupt city

Latest news from DPRNYC nypost.com/2026/08/20/u...

This is actually a fairly mainstream Green Party opinion, IDK why this site is suddenly shocked about the election result

This Labour govt is what "crashing the economy" actually looks like

Seattle's underground powerline disaster www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Reminds me of that great tweet which went something like “Americans check themselves into rehab for what the average Brit drinks on a two-hour train journey.”

This case actually acquired the weight it did because Arday and Cambridge tried to get Carter Ruck and the Police to shut down a legitimate journalist asking reasonable questions. Blaming the press is just dishonest.

Even now the Left are trying to exploit the poor bloke. There should be a formal inquiry into how Cambridge has been run in recent years. That is the only fitting outcome of this whole mess.

More news emerges, which is that Morgan & Martin gathered an assembly of independents and got the Land Securities manager of Gunwharf in to lecture them, and someone from the City of Culture bid who couldn't tell them how they'd benefit. The CofC stuff is all vibes, no money at all

This is a much more restrained version of events than that circulated at the time of the incident - especially the one from naval sources - but "World War Brie" is in the fine tradition of Sun headlines www.thesun.co.uk/news/4004304...
