And yeah, it's the lack of honesty that makes it more contemptible than most reactionary right wing rags. The pretence of helping when it's utterly complicit.

The Guardians main function is to salve the conscience of comfortable twats who think they're progressive. Sure it'll give space to a few good writers, but that's part of the way it tries to masquerade. It's a turbo centrist bigot publication.
This is as depressing as it is true.
Had the Maxwell/Epstein stuff happened in Britain rather than America, this shit would’ve been locked tighter than a budgie’s waistcoat.
Times Radio • @TimesRadio • 3h "When anyone's life falls apart, we should remember that there's still a human being and, of course, that they're entitled to a fair trial." Cherie Blair says she's "very sad" that Mandelson's links to Epstein have "come to this".
It is IMO hard to see why Cherie, who is not exactly a forthright public figure, would choose this precise moment to go on the radio unless she is used to a gilded life free from consequences from bad behaviour, and so she does not understand this looks bad.
I missed classism from the list, that was accidental obviously.
Plus she looks nice and wears some fun clothes, sorry if that makes you cry but this is just the reheated bullshit Keir Hardy got when he made it to parliament with a modern sheen.
I think critiquing appearance is counter productive, usually just petty partisan bullshit and often strays into sexism and racism. I also think it's a hell of a stretch for a parliament that has hosted, say Fabricant and Rees-mogg for years.
Yeah funny that, TERFs have an outsized presence because the have pre-existing platforms and are backed by people and organisations with money and influence. They are actually quite a tiny minority, albeit a dangerous one.
I think countries are a terrible idea in general because, well, look at the state of the world. But in particular, I hate the way the leaders are so fucking divorced from their populations that they yoyo between belligerent as fuck to bootlicking without breaking a stride.
Hey, remember when Starmer said joining NATO was the best thing Labour ever did? LOL
It is not enough for Churchill to be replaced on the £5. We must also replace his statue with something that can truly unite the country at this difficult time. Sign the petition here: www.change.org/p/uk-parliam...
Here is the letter where govt say they must pay Mandelson £75k in case of an "Employment Tribunal " - which is nonsense because he had no Employment Tribunal claim (needing 2yrs service) . Last line is real reason, to stop "Peter goes public on some of his claims"
This was obviously the case twenty years ago; it was very clear the Americans were going to support it no matter what; it was equally clear Europeans were going to do nothing about it, and our leaders radicalised themselves and each other into harder support for it year after year since then.
You’ll know everyone involved here is fucked beyond all hope of rescue when people start openly saying that the ambassador job was Peter’s agreed payoff for services rendered, without anyone giving any details of what services exactly it was that Peter may have provided, or when he provided them.
Times The State Of It podcast transcript: But Keir Starmer is not like other Labour politicians. He's not really a Labour politician at all. And again, his political judgment, fundamental political judgment, on what Simon Case describes in one of the letters from the files as one of, if not the most important roles in His Majesty's diplomatic service. You know, he outsourced even that to people who knew a man he neither knew nor liked, particularly, and vice versa. And I think that gets to the heart of all the reasons Labour MPs are looking at this and thinking, you know, maybe not now, but there will be other straws and the camel's back will eventually be broken.
How does a guy who is “not really a Labour politician at all” get elected Labour leader, in highly dubious circumstances, without anyone saying “this is a bit weird”? Could this have anything to do with him inexplicably replacing the US ambassador with Peter Mandelson, who was very keen on the job?

Fuck Keir Starmer
- A man who couldn't get us cancelled from Glasto
- A man who couldn't beat us in court
- A man who has destroyed the Labour Party
- A man whose government supports war criminals in Israel with weapons and intelligence

As we're exploring solutions here, is this something?

Can this be a solution?
It's a very distant second to the murder but the knock on effects should have people asking: With allies like these, who needs enemies? Moreover, why are our "democratic" representatives so wedded to those allies when their citizens are not.
Good one, now do say... him and the Bengal Famine.

I'd like to add: how does this dipshit think a pipeline would be doing against missiles and drones right now?

I'm also going to say killing Khamenei senior might be just as much motivation as beliefs for his son giving zero quarter to the US. The same way it may well factor into a lot of Iranian's world view post-slaughter. Much to think about.
Just remembered having an argument with That dipshit Rifkind, also of the times iirc about how the media just reflect rather than attempt to shape public opinion. And well... How popular are Mel's unhinged takes in the UK?
I feel there's something quite diagnostic in her reactionary ramblings here. She notes the notional ideology as problematic but can't seem to mention that the son may have a bit of a grievance on account of killing his dad. You might feel that was worth a nod, but evidently not.
