“Would drink with again ★★★★★"
My starting point with the tsunami of weird and clearly coordinated conspiracy tweets is what would a foreign adversary's intelligence service want to propagate and then I work outwards from there.
If you get your political news from the mainstream media, BlueSky and the reality-based community, you might not know this. But over on Twitter, the prevelant 'theory' is that the Starmer arson attacks were carried out by disgruntled male sex workers that Keir refused to pay off. Yes, really.

This is so 'core', I'd go as far as saying Starmer has just shortened his tenure as PM.
He's acting like he's in Badenoch's position: in opposition, shattered/fractious party, chasing other parties' votes.... but he's got a huge majority and four more years of government.
Total insanity.

“SANDRA, let me see the kids”
I was willing to give Labour 12 months to set course before I started tearing in to them. 12 months is nearly up and my disillusionment is reaching boiling point.
Listening to Starmer talk about immigration is depressing.
Lacks any sort of ambition or imagination. Straight out of the Reform playbook.
Sod HE and social care.

Talk to your sons
![1
[Show an image of a basic pot of TESCO COLESLAW, on a table]
VOICE FROM OFF-SCENE:
Slaw.
2
SECOND VOICE [pointing a hand at the coleslaw]:
Coleslaw.
3
[We pull back to see a YOUNG MAN sat at an interview-style table in a therapy session, with a professional opposite him wearing a lanyard].
YOUNG MAN:
Slaw.
PROFESSIONAL:
No... coleslaw, Peter.
And it comes in a...?
4
YOUNG MAN:
In a... pot from... Tesco.
PROFESSIONAL:
Very good.
5
[We are now outside the room this scene is in. On the wall outside the room is a sign reading]:
ABDP:
American 'BBQ' Deradicalisation Programme
[Beneath the sign is a professional looking woman, also wearing a lanyard]:
PROFESSIONAL [with concerned, serious face]:
The process can take a long time.
6
[We now hear her voiceover, but we are looking at a scene of a male hunched over a laptop in their bedroom].
PROFESSIONAL:
Every year we see more and more British men being exposed to this content from America.
7.
[We see what's on the screen: a YouTube video about AMERICAN BBQ, with a bearded, thick-glasses, plaid-shirt wearing man holding a big rack of ribs in black-gloved hands].
8
[Cut to a garden scene: a typical British man is incinerating sausages on his crap little barbecue]
PROFESSIONAL V/O:
One day they're incinerating sausages like a normal person
9
PROFESSIONAL V/O:
The next they re standing in front of a 'smoker' and expecting you to ask them about it.
[Same man, same scene, but he is now a heavily bearded, plaid and glasses wearing American BBQ bro, stood in front of a huge smoking cabinet bearing the legend PIT BOSS PRO, and forking a big rack of ribs. A woman is approaching his table tentatively, and politely asks:]
WOMAN:
What's tha-
BBQ BRO:
OH IT'S MYSMOKER.
10
BBQ BRO:
I USE MESQUITE WOOD CHIPS.
[She looks alarmed, confused]
11
BBQ BRO:
DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY SMOKE RING
[Two ABDP agents, like police officers, have arrived and are lunging for him - one saying]:
POLICE OFFICER:

Someone once said to me 'Scarfolk has 100s of 1000s of followers, and then there were the books & merch, TV/film options, etc. You must be rolling in it by now'.
I didn't even make minumum wage. Many years, I didn't even reach personal tax allowance.

There’s no money, no opportunities, massive audiences mean nothing, talent and hard work mean nothing, experience means nothing. It’s just impossible to earn a living. I’m the most optimistic to ever optimism about career stuff and even I’m losing hope.

Having an abusive father really prepared me for this moment. You stupid babies. It doesn’t have to make sense. There is no secret, guiding self interest. He will burn the house down with you in it. That’s all. That’s the whole thing.

I mean, anyone who lives in any of Britain’s post-industrial areas could probably point out a few people who have backed their way into a life on benefits either as a semi-conscious choice or because previous governments absolutely tore the fucking heart out of the places economically.

One thing that jars with me is how binary the debate on benefits gets. We’ve got everyone on here pretending nobody could ever be swinging the lead, and everyone on the other place pretending everyone is and no space for my “hey, some are, it’s the price we pay for a functioning system, shrug” take
