All lawyers have to undertake a ‘conflict check’ before taking on a new client. For Nigel Farage & George Cottrell to be sharing the same lawyers, it means the convicted money launderer & Reform leader’s interests are aligned. In what way? And who’s paying? 2/

Nothing has changed since Theresa and her go home vans.

"Shabana Mahmood staying as Home Secretary to presumably continue her appalling record of performative cruelty towards migrants and refugees is a warning sign that Burnham has not learnt the lessons from Starmer's failure," says Zack Polanski

Genuinely: what is there to offer the liberal-left in this new government? I don't think any sensible person would have expected a total victory, but there's zero ground given on any of the big ticket items that Labour's left flank are unhappy with, simply cannot see the logic here

Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 2w ago

So let me get this straight we have: - Mahmood in place to ‘finish the job’ re immigration - Phillipson continuing her toilet ban with no change - Miliband out of energy for more drilling - McFadden still in place for welfare ‘reform’

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

A society where workers need two incomes, side hustles and debt just to survive is not prosperous. It's just extracting labour at maximum efficiency. #SocialistSunday

“Appointed by Streeting…” What a shock. Not. And that’s before we get to the unpleasant point of running children’s care for profit…

Since 2007 wages have decreased in the UK by £11,000 per worker. While profits are £24,000 per worker. So they could easily have paid you, they just chose not to.

Looks like we have to fight all over again for the future

Blair Tells Labour to Be More Pro-War and Less Climate Friendly

The Labour party should do more to support US wars while promoting fossil fuels and AI if it wants to win the next election, Tony Blair has suggested.

Decisions about Scotland should be made by the people who live here. There’s a clear pro-independence majority in the Scottish Parliament and that majority voted for a referendum. For politicians in London to deny that choice is a democratic outrage.

Andy Burnham has said Labour needs to change. He has ruled out rejoining EU. He has ruled out PR. He has ruled out borrowing more. He has ruled out higher taxes. He has ruled out changing immigration rules. He has already told you, he won't change anything.

So what did everyone else do after leaving the Labour Party? Where now? Local causes? Other parties? I’d like to hear your stories #exlabour #labour #promosky

In an increasingly volatile world, our future lies alongside our closest allies in Europe. To ignore that our most trusted partners are right on our doorstep would be nothing short of self-sabotage.

Trump you can fuck off. The UK will not be involved in any illegal wars of aggression. Well done, Keir Starmer.

This is surprising!

BREAKING: Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, calls on Keir Starmer to resign as prime minister. "The distraction has to end and the leadership in Downing Street has to change."

Speechless.

Sorry for my lack of engagement recently - I was in bed with the superflu for two weeks! I wanted to pose a question, and I’m looking for honest answers. How close are we to WW3? It looks like both Russia and NATO are upping the rhetoric.
