Socialist. Unite Union member. Same handle as the other place. Not as sweary on here as I was there but still angry and my politics haven’t changed. Resist the darkness

You let me know when using your inside voice and voting blue no matter who finally works. Let me know when expecting less and accepting less and being ground into dust gets you the key to that shining city on a hill. I can’t wait to visit.

Andy Burnham is so confident the Fairford incident was an Iranian terror plot that he has sanctioned Iran. Police are so confident it was not an Iranian terror plot that they let all seven suspects out on bail. This is not adding up, is it?

Anti-zionism is a protected characteristic under the 2010 equalities act. But the legacy media have to sell clicks and shitrags and there's nothing like a whipped up moral panic to help that along.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

For non-soccer fans: this scandal is basically a microcosm of what is going on everywhere re: the ultra-wealthy doing whatever they want because they can. Man City cheated like hell. But here is the prime minister implying they’re just too valuable to the UK to hold to account. It sucks

Andy Burnham admits to ‘concern’ if Manchester City lose their owners after guilty verdicts

The primer minister said: ‘City have been a huge partner in building modern Manchester,’ while the Independent Football Regulator said it is monitoring the case

Burnham and Labour still lapdogs for Peter Theil's fascist corporate killing machine Labour’s ‘conference arrangements committee’ (CAC) has barred a motion put forward by members to cancel US spy firm Palantir’s £330m contract to process NHS patients’ data.

Wes Streeting: "We know that Iran.. wish to do us harm" We are allowing US planes to take off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire to bomb Iran as part of an illegal war. I'd say that was more than just wishing them harm, wouldn't you?
