My memory of 2016 to 2020 is almost all of the comedians/comic actors I liked and followed being anti-Corbyn, despite what was to come being pretty obvious. I don't know the effect they had but all had liberal/leftish followings and 100K+ subscribers.

Lovely to see that it's now considered cool and good to be a vehement lefty who loves socialism but if you called people like me a stupid naive cunt and dick-rode the reasonable centre between 2016 and 2024 I DO remember because I'm not above petty fuckery. Anyway. Welcome, comrade.

Completely beyond why people try to defend Labour record on treatment of asylum seekers. They are awful.
They have done terrible things the Tories never even thought of, like denying any refugee who came here through irregular means from EVER becoming a citizen & ENDING FAMILY REUNIFICATION. demons.

In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

This story is getting wilder - not only is it a known solitary spider species living communally, but it's cohabiting with a second species, a type of commensalism(?) not before observed. Would be very interested to see if the species are cooperating with weaving/hunting, and how that works.

This is appalling. The lady who no-showed for her flight but is still down as an “emigrant” (despite continuing to pay tax in the U.K.) is particularly bad, but I also noticed the woman who flew out but Eurostar-ed home. I’ve done that.

When politicians say they don't look at or care about who gives them money, they are lying because they think you're stupid.
"Toward the end of the evening, Matsui was asked if she would refuse campaign contributions from AIPAC. Matsui insisted that 'it doesn't matter who gives (her) money,' she 'doesn't look at that.'"
Interesting piece about a California Democrat and a rare town hall on her part with her constituents.

A very painful budget now, which sets up a path towards better budgets in 2026, 27 & 28, feels like a superior strategy to taking almost as much political pain now without the upside.
In short: focus on governing & the right policy and the politics (mostly) look after themselves. 3/3

Possibly what's going on with Your Party is daft but legal action can be administrative rather than aggressive or vindictive. The newspapers are very excited there's legal action.

A lesson for the Labour Party - even if you deported a hundred thousand migrants, or five hundred thousand, Nigel Farage would just tell people you hadn't, and they'd believe him.
Yeah this makes me annoyed not because I am a grand defender of Biden's record on the border (I am not), but there is this utterly false perception that the Biden admin did nothing. That could not be further from the truth. The Biden admin carried out over 3 million repatriations in 4 years.
The plural of anecdote is not data, but I had a recent conversation with a left leaning, Trump disliking, reasonably well informed adult in Houston during which he spat blood about Biden’s complete failure to do anything at all about the border (”they didn’t do a damned thing!”)
