I gather Emily Thornberry also said Britain should rejoin solely on the basis of a manifesto commitment. Such a long road ahead...

Two Labour MPs on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social totally hapless on Europe. One was a 100% Brexiter the other one “pro EU” @emilythornberry.bsky.social was blabbing and appearing to reject even freedom of movement, not to mention she rejected € and Schengen. Incredible.

The House of Lords is nothing more than a retirement home for failed politicians and rich donors. Scotland deserves better. It's time to abolish the House of Lords.

Nigel Farage, "The Prime Minister is a liar. Yes, a liar" "Boris asked was there seen to be Russian interference in the Brexit referendum campaign, and the answer was no" But Stewart Hosie, who sat on the UK's Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament said no evidence as gov didn't look

Theresa May tried to have Johnson’s security clearance revoked, a thing nobody much wanted to dwell on when it was revealed, so we just skimmed right over that www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

Britain is what it looks like when your ruling class are truly all in it together and largely unified in rabid hostility to the abstract concept of accountability, and it’s specific embodiment in the form of younger, browner, more fluidly-sexualled people. America has this too, but it can get worse.

Well, unless you want to become basically Britain, where we’re stuck e.g. screaming about the evil leftists persecuting the unprosecuted state criminals of 50+ years ago as a way of distracting from the war crimes of ten years ago.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Burnham's claim that sticking with the status quo on the UK's relationship with the EU "isn't working" applies even more when it comes to Scotland's relationship with Westminster. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/12/s...

THE WEEK IN SCOTTISH FOOTBALL PATTER 2026/27: Vol. 9

Mehdi Hasan is citing this piece as evidence that the British media is “broken”, but that’s not what it is: this is more like operating at peak efficiency. They’ve shown they can enforce the outcomes they want by blocking the entire pipeline tight with shit, so that nothing else can get through.

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 2d ago

Not for the first time, I’d ask: what does it mean, if the press keep running campaigns claiming that country’s most horrific racists and bigots are the Green Party, the Labour left, Amnesty International, Stonewall, the police (I know) and Gary Lineker? Look around you. Does that feel right?

hiya just thinking about how if the establishment and the media had spent the past decade hammering the right for actual bad shit they'd done as much as they hammered the left for shit they made up to hammer the left over we might be a bit better off ha ha just having a nice think about it

Waking up to a Reform gobshite blaming everything that is wrong with the UK on immigrants, and Justin Wotsit on BBC R4 Today doing sod all to firmly challenge the eejit. Great start to the week.

If Andy Burnham was a Green MP the press would be screaming "Do you think Man City has a right to exist and have a penis???" at him. Then calling him an out of touch bigot who has lost control of his radical extremist party and must resign. Regardless of the answer.

Paul here, with some insight on people who won prestige and status by fraudulent means, only to find the public don’t respect or want that

I mean, what could be more 21st century Britain than the public getting increasingly fucked off at cheats who win via fraud and shitehousing, ruining it for everyone

Andy Burnham says it is clear Russia interfered in Brexit vote

As if he and we all didn't fucking know full well. The tories Russia Report looked at everything apart from the tories and brexit. The time to make a fuss was probably when Stewart Hosie and the Intelligence and security committee reported precisely this. Not clap like lobotomised seals now.

Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 2d ago

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

The business of the British print press is the recruitment and promotion of malignant wingnut crackpots, to further their own horrible agendas.

There’s no obvious reason why that story would have been pulled. Interesting too that the Mail’s diary story on Gove and Salem splitting appeared three days after her court appearance. Almost like someone resembling Michael Gove wearing a fake moustache sent in that tip.

It is very interesting that the Mail’s story on Michael Gove’s recent ex-girlfriend being charged with CSAM offences has been memoryholed two days after it was published. Public records show she appeared at Oxford Combined Court centre on September 30 and pleaded not guilty.

Big of him to wait until it is politically convenient to say this.

How are the public, politics and media aided by former elected politicians & legislators for life sitting in the House of Lords pretending that they are journalists? Even more so when they continue to take the party whip.
