One of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite books:
"My son displays a general garment and you claim it's cut to your fit? What a fascinating revelation."

The left has not shied away from talking about grooming gangs.
The complaint FROM THE FAR RIGHT is that the left has not repeated the racist conspiracy theories that they demand everyone repeat about grooming gangs.
That's what it's about. That's what it's always been about.
Paul Mason: "I tweeted this as a joke and it is in fact you who are a clown."
Also Paul Mason: "fasho-tankies"
This will kill people. Straight up murder.
All for headpats from fascist freaks who will never support them anyway.
🚨 NEW: The Government is considering each of the following in a 'radical overhaul' of the benefits system
- Stricter eligibility for Personal Independence Payments (PIP), particularly for mental health conditions like anxiety and depression
- Requring claimants to provide routine medical evidence instead of an assessment for PIP
- Requring the long-term sick to look for work with a reduction in sickness benefit payments to encourage this
- Abolishing the 'Limited Capability for Work or Work-Related Activity' (LCWRA) category, potentially cutting £5,000 per year for claimants
- Scrapping the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) and aligning with PIP assessments
- Shifting from regular PIP payments to one-off payments or means-testing
- Introducing a 'duty to engage' with employment services, including job preparation and training
Vouchers for specific equipment or aids instead of cash payments have been ruled out

A DeLete your account.
This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.
The "balls" to go after the most vulnerable people in society in order to placate some of the most comfortable, and certainly the most vicious.
Tell me again how this shower of bastards are better than the Tories?
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says he has 'the balls' to reduce Britain's benefits bill, despite opposition from Labour MPs
“We will be ruthless with cuts if that’s what’s necessary"

🚨 A pensioner who faces £1m tax bill on his modest savings urges the Chancellor to think again.
This quoted post is unavailable.
I see the journalistic bat signal has been sent out to protect Ben Judah and his deeply fucking weird phrenology tour of London.

“We deliberately smashed Britain into Boris Johnson and hard Brexit in what became not one but *two* horrendous national crises, just to get our mates back then cut business deals with wanted war criminals” You have to say that is a great look lads, please keep saying this stuff.

Can I shock you? Lou Haigh's replacement is watering down Labour's rail nationalisation plans.
Starting to think this whole thing was manufactured!
ALT text of Guardian article: The decision will spell a more cautious timeline for renationalisation under new transport secretary Heidi Alexander than envisaged by her predecessor, Louise Haigh, who resigned last week. SWR will be the first to be brought under the control of the Department for Transport’s operator of last resort, DOHL, when its contract ends in May, as first reported by the Financial Times. All operators will eventually be nationalised under the provisions of the public ownership bill championed by Haigh, which became law last week. Haigh had, however, been mulling exercising break clauses in other contracts that could have seen Greater Anglia renationalised earlier.
Time to see how well that liberal constitutional order holds up.

Here's a thought, revolutionary in its scope. Have these MPs considered... arguing against the fascist narrative instead of capitulating to it?
Exclusive: Labour MPs form new ‘Red Wall Caucus’ to fight Reform UK in their constituencies
They’re urging the government to be vocal on immigration eg shout about its deportation figures

We have also written to the Attorney General to ask if he has offered the Prime Minister any legal advice on this issue, and when this advice will be made public.

Has the Prime Minister received any legal advice over the definition of genocide?
A letter from the Independent Alliance, following Keir Starmer's refusal to recognise the genocide in Gaza.
All jokes aside, this is literally true.
