Not a politician. A government. They destructed my father-in-law ( J B Jeyaretnam) in the same way. They like to use their courts for repression
Saint Markus of Aitch - Patron Saint of Lost Frisbees@ver-bat-man.eurosky.social · 2d agoI cannot imagine what sort of politician persecutes a seriously ill opponent.
Massive Attack “surprised” Why are Westerners always shocked to find there’s no freedom of speech in Singapore? FWIW the SG government was persecuting my husband on his death bed, over a blog article and at the same time a govt crony was suing him for speaking out against Islamophobia. RIP Kenneth 💔
Massive Attack respond after Singapore ban over Palestine display
The UK band says they are "surprised and disappointed" by their treatment over shouting "free Palestine" at a concert there.

Hilariously fascist response from the Italian Meloni regime, especially after the bulk of the "invaders" realised that they'd get short shrift from the Spanish enclave and returned to Morocco. Denmark, Finland and Czechia also deserve a round of fucks for their knee-jerk reactions.
They don’t necessarily think that they were headed to the UK. It’s irrelevant to their goal to stir up division wherever the word migrant comes up. They need to keep “an enemy at the gate” narrative on the front burner whether imagined or not.
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 4d agoAmong the very many dim takes around the Ceuta incident... the very, very dumbest must be the assumption in Reform circles that all those people were somehow trying to make it to Britain. How exceptionalist and indeed exceptionally stupid can you get?
“We’ve moved into the Age of the Oligarch which is defined by a network of the rich and powerful and the authoritarians they prop up. The group transcends national borders and has zero interest in the countries that elevated them to power.”

It’s Manchester not National. It’s a mayoral selection not parliament. Reform got through to the second round. The Tories, the only other contender for Clacton, are collapsing further under Badenoch. We are still in danger of an extremist, populist right wing government under Farage/Reform
Election Maps UK@electionmaps.uk · 5d agoGreater Manchester Mayoral By-Election Result: 🌹 Craig | LAB: 47.2% ➡️ Astley | RFM: 21.0% 🌍 Coggins | GRN: 12.2% ◼️ West | RES: 8.7% 🌳 Eckersley | CON: 7.7% 🔶 Kilpatrick | LDM: 2.2% 🙋 Farmer | Ind: 0.6% 2nd Round: 🌹 Craig | LAB: 66.3% ➡️ Astley | RFM: 33.7% Labour HOLD.
Stop trying to make the Manchester Mayoral election result some kind of predictor for a Clacton MP by-election. Farage will win Clacton by a Putin-esque margin. We can only hope the turnout is abysmal and that the investigations into his finances bear fruit.
This is the very sad reality of a broken system that is letting people down. We must fix this so that it never happens again. www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

If my Labour council can do it why can’t the libdem run councils so the same? It’s one reason people here always vote Labour.

I'll be meeting the Prime Minister today to discuss how we can finally find a solution to the care crisis. We need to do things differently. I really hope we are on a journey to fix this.

My experience of Singapore’s swift tilt into full-blown authoritarianism makes me want to scream from the rooftops that freedoms once lost, are almost impossible to regain. Fight for your democracy now while you still have the mechanisms to do so. Before resistance is outlawed.

We need to recognize that Lutnick had this sort of access not because he was rich but because he ran Cantor Fitzgerald. This sort of corruption is institutional just as much as its personal. And this sort of "major American corporation buying access" behavior is omnipresent.
