Couldn't catch it live but this was a great listen. You guys should be really proud of what you've created with this show. Plus, is this the start of a Dark Ibby timeline? Cos, I am definitely here for that. #LGM #MetsSky

Exactly this!
if world cup games are moved anywhere, it should be out of the US entirely to canada and mexico given the risks posed by the border and ICE

President Donald Trump issued a veiled threat to Democratic-run cities slated to host World Cup matches next year, saying he might ask FIFA to move games from certain cities if he feels crime is too high or local leadership isn’t cooperating with the federal government.

Yeah, but voters do care, Mahmood, they care a lot

They care that you’re tearing children away from the only home they’ve ever known and sentencing them to years of fear, instability, and trauma

They care that violent racist criminals like Tommy Robinson are applauding your policies
Green MP Carla Denyer accuses Shabana Mahmood of trying to "out Reform Reform" and says "toxic racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants" are to blame for "tearing our country apart" not migrants.

Mahmood: "I couldn't care less what any other political party has to say about these matters"

This is why I joined the Green Party. Starmer spent £Ms on a second state visit no one wanted. Zack, says what everyone is thinking about this disgusting POS.
I think this is the first time I've EVER heard a politician speak the unflinching truth like this instead of cowardly skirting round the issue.

In so doing, @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks up for all those groups threatened by Trump's actions.

We need far more of this courage in politics.
Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"

"This is sociopathic behaviour"

"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"

"I'm not a fan of Trump"

Christiane Amanpour, "It's pretty clear"

In Germany, the far-right AfD are trying to cut the state funding of one of the country's most prominent anti-extremism NGOs. This attack is another milestone in how bold they are.

At least Farage is upfront about getting rid of the NHS. The Labour right hate the left so much they also want to destroy the NHS, because it is an achievement of socialism. They just don't have the guts to say that straight out.
It's incredible that the story in the headlines today, about Wes Streeting is not that he has finally agreed with the treasury how he is going to sack tens of thousands of nurses at massive expense to the NHS.

Thousands of NHS staff to be made redundant after funding agreed
The government says the jobs will go in order to slash "unnecessary bureaucracy" and ensure taxpayers' money is being "spent wisely".

Somehow Dem leadership would find a way to screw up even worse than this
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1 wish—then wish for something they think Republicans will like

Democrats continue to prove the stereotype of being feckless appeasers, and we're all worse off for it. We need a true opposition party more than ever—because this aint it

If progressive in this context is "progressive stain on the downtrodden of the UK". Then Wes most certainly fits the bill.

I'd laugh if Labour's bullshit didn't cause observable harm to so many.
November 5, 2025 at 10:53 AM
Exactly this! UK Labour have made it very clear that the left aren’t welcome anymore. In what world does Wes count as progressive?
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".

I haven’t read LOTR since I was a kid and it’s years since I saw the films but even I remember that hard man of Gondor, Boromir, got himself killed early on because he was thick as pig shit. Btw - what a good job all the hard men 2A militia dudes are doing resisting tyranny in the US.

The reason the extremely wealthy can imagine living in space is that space is effectively where they already live. They go from remote site to remote site under heavy protection and behind tinted windows, completely disconnected from their surroundings. That’s basically space travel, every day.
