Would be very on brand for England if the first openly gay PM was a conservative and widely disliked.

Insane dystopian shit here, totally unacceptable. I expect politicians and commentators to be outraged by it, regardless of their opinion of the crimes these people were convicted of.

I want to big up @counterflows.bsky.social, I have a lot of thoughts but I think they’re nicely summarised by the fact that this wasn’t the first time I’ve been quite moved by someone playing a roll of sellotape at this festival

Thinking about this video again

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

The rot runs right through this Labour government. Starmer made Mandelson ambassador to the US despite knowing of his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He must go. Streeting must cancel the NHS contract with Palantir which has Mandelson's hands all over it.

Ensconced in his Blaenavon family home, @patocanton.bsky.social is honouring the memory of fallen Christmas Day posters by preparing a white-hot takedown of those planning a little after-dinner walk later; ‘simply Tory behaviour!’ he’ll announce to more or less no reception

I’m gonna start a thread here of what I think is the most egregious and vacuous slop published by newspapers in opinion columns. They want us to pay, but this this kind of thing they publish.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

Madness in this bar. The landlord’s dog entered the bar area and farted extensively, causing the young staff to start shouting and drive the dog away into the back area, and then they sprayed the bar with some kind of terrible air freshener which had a chemical odour.

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting says that the British Medical Association, which represents Britain's doctors, is a threat to the NHS. Streeting took a record £225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.

Absolutely insane. Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani. Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo. The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Hoped I’d never have to say this but the premise to 1997 N64 title Blast Corps? Utterly absurd
