Kinda pity Labour members who joined up hoping to make the world a better place but have been reduced to having defend a sack of shit PM and throw insults at Polanski for actually being what they wanted to be.

Reform is starting to crack and fail.

It's looking like there's been a definite increase for the Greens in the polls since Polanski became leader.

There's also been a shift in the narrative. He's attacking the far right and slowly, very slowly, the other parties and journalists are following.

There's hope now.

Are journalists going to demand he lose his job?

They're the line in the sand here.

Stand against fascism or concede ground again?

If nothing happens then they'll do it again.
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

Ok well it took five days. 100k members. This is not a moment, it’s a movement. It was always a movement.
I predict the Green Party will be at 100k members by the end of the year.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

A lad in my junior school was given detention for breaking into the school, shitting on the Headmaster's desk and spraying it gold.
Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

Since the millennium the only two things ever to have happened in the UK is 2012 Olympic opening ceremony and Brexit.

Literally nothing else has happened. (And definitely no wars!)

I've seen a few people compare the launch of Corbyn/Sultana's new party with Change/TIG.

However, Change failed not because of a shambolic launch but that none of them were remotely likable, they had no values and didn't bother to stand in the Local Elections.

I think the Starmer/McSweeney project has shit the bed. They've tried to attract Reform voters and Reform voters go "nah he doesn't mean it, he's just like the other guys". If they then pivot to re-attracting socialists we too will go "you don't mean it though". A mess, boys.
But some ministers want a more explicit pivot to progressivism - arguing that winning back disheartened left wing voters is a far bigger pool.

No strong opinion about Corbyn's new party, but fuck me some political commentators are dreary as fuck.

The shit they got away with ten years ago isn't going to fly when there's a genocide going on.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Labour and the BBC trying to censor pop bands like Kneecap.

Because they spoke up about the genocide going on in Gaza.
