Baroness Hazarika, "This has been an absolutely shameful week for the Labour party"

"This is a story about male power and a boys club"

"Why was the Labour party so seduced by Mandelson?"

"To me, it was about a male power structure"

“It is absurd that asylum seekers are banned from working. There are many who spend long periods in the asylum backlog, or have difficulty proving their claim… such people should be allowed to enter the labour market. This would mean their skills could be recognised under the points-based system…”

I’m watching this on the news right now and I audibly scoffed. No one’s coming here to get a free fucking taxi. If they want asylum seekers to pay for travel let them work and contribute to the economy while their claim is assessed instead of keeping them in forced poverty for years.

In case anyone missed it in the torrent of mind-slurry, here is the point where Trump’s speech takes an excursion into raw, undiluted unambiguous racism.
Trump: "Somalia -- they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. I always say, 'These are low IQ people.' How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?"

What too many people refuse to admit is while they search around frantically for signs that Trump will help Ukraine, what has really happened is that Trump has protected Putin while the Russians have criminally attacked Ukrainian civilian life. This foolishness must stop now.

This year was hard, but you chose welcome. When fear got louder, you showed up and turned care into action. You stood beside people rebuilding their lives. People like you are the much-needed hope in the road ahead. We keep going together. Share this and tell us what “welcome” means to you.

Sorry, no, Motability was not about 'helping the most vulnerable' - it was about providing people who need modified vehicles modified vehicles!

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?

Billions of pounds worth of unused #PPE literally went up in smoke

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

“This policy is a fucking disgrace and will do harm to the people it affects, our economy, our services, and it’s morally reprehensible” is the correct response not “haha your numbers are wrong and it may not even be legal”

This isn't funny. There's something very wrong with the UK government attitude to higher education & it survived a change of gvt.

Also - more broadly - it's yet another piece of evidence that Labour government ministers and their advisers live in a weird right-wing Americanised information space.
Right. My students working two part time jobs and/or having an hour and a half commute to uni because they have to live at home due to the cost of student accommodation lack drive and vigour. Sure thing, Peter. The UK Govt still haven't a clue about the realities of universities today.

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

A dictator is setting his armed forces on protesters and journalists.
This is against everything Britain stands for.
Please stand for something yourself, and revoke this individual's invitation to visit our country.

Setting up "aid distribution points" and then massacring people who come to obtain food is sincerely one of the most evil things I have ever seen.
