We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Blue Labour group urges ministers to ‘root out DEI’ to win over Reform voters
Faction influencing No 10 says government should legislate against DEI in hiring, sentencing and ‘wherever else’
The Labour faction influencing Downing Street’s pitch to Reform UK voters has urged ministers to “root out DEI”.
An article from the Blue Labour campaign group, titled What is to be Done, calls for the government to legislate against diversity, equity and inclusion, echoing the rightwing backlash from Donald Trump and Nigel Farage. Continue reading...

UK tightening student visas during a uni funding crisis at the moment some of the biggest spenders on higher education are looking around for a new destination would be an impressive example of governing by polling against the economic interests of the country

My prediction is that this will do nothing to stop the endless “why is the far right winning TikTok/Gen Z” stories.the fact the Greens crush Reform among under 25s in every poll here doesn’t stop the endless “why is Farage winning young people?” stories
German public TV just published this poll of first-time voters. A massive lead for socialist Left party on 27%.
Left + SPD + Greens on 54% among first-time-voters. Those voters were also slightly less likely to vote AfD than national average.
So much for the “far-right youth”.

See also that other prominent chaos monster of 2022: Rebekah Vardy, who should have immediately done a turn, embraced her status, become a national hero, be in panto, recording Cameo videos saying "of course I did it".
I wish Liz Truss would stop taking herself seriously, like everyone else has, and just embrace it and go on celeb Traitors or something. It would be much more fun, and I actually think we’d all enjoy it a lot more. Lean into it, be a hot mess. I crashed the economy, now I’m here to crash the castle.
My "I did not crash the economy" legal letter raises many questions that... etc... etc...

Labour’s air passenger duty hike for an economy seat on a long-haul flight is an extra £12.
To get to a “£400 tax hit”, the Mail has taken four people flying long-haul, which will increase in 2026 from:
4x£90 = £360 duty
To:
4x£102 = £408 duty
To call it dubious is generous.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.
Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
