- Not so fun now, is it, soldier boy, when you don't just have a fawning press gassing you up about strong britain, great nation? Hope you're miserable today and every day 👍
- Finally got around to finishing The Night Manager S2, lol that was terrible
- The only way on God's earth that Starmer didn't know about Epstein and Mandelson would be because no-one wanted to hear the answers.
- The Arnold's Field pod we did last year still makes my blood boil. It's *not* surprising that the council is dragging its feet and trying to fudge is way out, but it is still inhuman and infuriating.
- Gee I wonder why Starmer and co. have decided they hate juries
- Reposted by Wooferendum Black BlocThis is not far off the images and language which we have seen from ICE in US. It's directly aimed at using people's suffering to dehumanise them. The imagery is tested, and shown, to portray those seeking asylum as "criminals", rather than needing safety. This is how Trump works, how ICE works.
- The fearless, truthseeking press are all just "discovering" things today about Mandelson that they didn't have in a drawer or anything. No, they've all put the little PRESS tickets in their hat and got sudden scoop!
- Huge story in @theipaper.com "[Mandelson] was very involved in all the details; I think he enjoyed it. He was involved in all the personalities and the mechanics including asking the question of who do we want in which seat" Probably a breach of GDPR laws too ... inews.co.uk/news/politic...
- As one of Mandelson's all-time top acolytes and beneficiaries; what, exactly did Streeting think "Mandelson was" then? Did he never ask or did he, like the rest of them, know better than to ask or insist on answers?
- I have now officially become Da Politics Joker. The choice for US ambassador was between known-pal-of-sex-offender Mandelson and GEORGE OSBORNE - probably the man most responsible for the current immiseration of the UK? Does it REALLY just take doing a podcast with Ed Balls? From the NS:
- Has anyone checked in with the self-styled British Obama lately?

- lmao so first you have to get a committee to look at the rules so the rules can be updated, and amended and voted on, and that'll take a year or two but THEN, WELL THEN, Mandelson might get off with a 3 month suspension because oh it's all so long ago now!

- Reposted by Wooferendum Black BlocHe sent an 1,170-word email to the entire department, starting with, 'Some white musicians deliberately have black musicians in their band to help them get gigs rather than thinking who is musically suitable' and ending with 'If there is systematic bias in Britain... it is against white people.'
- BREAKING on ft website: Lord Peter Mandelson leaked a sensitive UK government document to Jeffrey Epstein while he was business secretary that proposed £20bn of asset sales and revealed Labour’s tax policy plans www.ft.com/content/fdf7...
- Weird how Mandelson resigned from Labour suddenly, last night. Wonder if he got a call for comment from the FT and knew the game was up? Will anyone at long last find out exactly how the I've-been-sacked-at-least-three-times got to be US Ambassador? Lmao will we ever - that's not how the UK works.

- Look, you only get expelled by the Labour Party if you want to feed some starving children, not minor stuff like advising and receiving money from convicted sex offenders
- Reposted by Wooferendum Black BlocWhether it's Democrats wanting the federal government to release the names of people who raped children with Jeffrey Epstein or Republicans wanting state governments to release the names of people who voted Democrat in 2024, both sides are seeking names for retribution.
- genuinely impressed Polanski in the last few weeks, but I'm getting worried we're all doing that thing where we find A Guy to get excited about - who will inevitably fail because people do be people - rather than building a movement and institutions that last. Fingers crossed.

- Reposted by Wooferendum Black BlocNew from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...
- Sure, on an adult population somewhere around 250mln there's gonna be some thousands of SMEs and cornershops being started any given month? I guess? Does that mean economy amazing? Probably not?
- These pathetic skeletons are a genuine obstacle now
- Gosh mr president thanks for the powerful podcast recommendation and the statement "calling on everyone to work together for America". I know you didn't disband DHS or stop the villification of migrants or used your supermajority to change society when you had power, but I'll be sure to tune in!
- Lmao the libs did the dumbest thing possible and are doing a """moderate""" right .minority government with 10 votes short of any majority on any issue. This is gonna get so stupid so fast
- Like every other media outlet that has gotten more terrible, less informative, and just enshittified over time, CBS is also doing the "fire the reporters, add more opinion dweebs" thing. Those people might cost a lot, but not as much as say, a Bangkok desk and cheap hit brings precious clicks!
