I've had a few people tell me this isn't what Gilbert believes. They should probably let him know.
My own assessment is that the only way this outcome is likely to be prevented is if a Labour Party led from the soft left can cooperate with all those parties and the Liberal Democrats to elect a government on a genuinely social democratic programme. But that might be wrong. It might be

Probably my favourite meme.
A three panel meme. Each panel is a photo of Ewan McGreggor as Obi Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy. He is a young-ish white man with brown hair and a beard. The photo has the middle third of his face cut out and is just the top and bottom third of his face squished together, his eyes are right above his mouth and he doesn't have a nose. Each subsequent panel zooms closer in on his face, with the third panel being mostly his eyes. Each panel has text: Panel 1: "Anakin..." Panel 2: "Start panakin" Panel 3 "I don't have a planakin."

Just looked up Labour MP Mike Tapp, the guy who was boasting about how many deportations he'd done and he's an even bigger danger than you'd expect:
Early Life Tapp is the son of a policeman.[5] Tapp served in the Intelligence Corps[6] and had three tours (Iraq and Afghanistan) before joining the National Crime Agency and then the Ministry of Defence.[3]

So to be clear, if you're opposing universalism, including tax discounts for bikes being universal, you're on the same side as Kirstie Allsop.

What sauce do you have with your EarPod?
Tweet by Kirstie Allsopp @KirstieMAllsopp 14/11/2025 A writer so successful that today is a day dedicated to him in schools all over the country thinks it is reasonable that he travels for free due to his age. People have to stop taking things they do not need, it is wrong and it is bankrupting our country. [Quoted tweet by Michael Rosen @Michael Rosen Yes 13/11/2025 My Freedom Pass doesn't work.

Not a grain of sand in this image.
A clickbait link. It consists of a picture of Carys Douglas (Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones's daughter) a very pretty brown haired young white lady. The photo is taken from the shoulders up. What little of the image isn't taken up by her seems to be a coniferous hedge. Underneathe is the text: Carys Douglas's Guide To The Best Beaches and Hidden Gems in Wales.

Herzinger has made one(1) post about Gaza in which he recommend Israel carry out the genocide it now has done.

This is very funny but also please note that Cuomo, who until a few months ago was backed by the entire Democratic Establishment, is espousing the creed of the satirically extreme Imperium, a religious fascist dictatorship.

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.
A censored screenshot from the British gameshow Naked Jungle. Everyone pictured is white and they're all naked. Five contestants are lined up across the screen, four women and then one man. The host, Keith Chegwin, middle aged white man, is standing mostly in front of the male contestant, he is also naked apart from a pith helmet. He does not look terrible but he's not exactly a model either.

Liberals man, claiming criticising a policy created by the Heritage Foundation is the same as being anti-vaxx.

Post by John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social Hating the ACA is similar to hating on vaccines. It's a luxury borne of not really appreciating what existed before. The fix wasn't perfect, and there is a lot more that we could do to make it better. But the "ACA Was Bad" Discourse is just untethered from reality.

So do you condemn Obama for deporting people with no criminal record?

edition.cnn.com/2019/07/13/p...
“A straight numbers-by-numbers comparison doesn’t provide an accurate picture of what was going on in the administration,” Cecilia Muñoz, who was a top domestic policy adviser to Obama and is now with the left-leaning New America Foundation, said in a phone interview. She argues that Obama prioritized deporting people convicted of serious crimes and recent arrivals who had no criminal records. “If you’re not targeting and focused on people who recently arrived, then the border is effectively open,” Muñoz said, adding: “It is more humane to be removing people who have been here two weeks than it is to be removing people who have been here for 20 years and have families.”

The dominoes meme. A man in a blue shirt and creme trousers crouches next to a series of dominoes, each about twice the size of the last. He is poised to push over the smallest one. The smallest domino is labelled "Rugrats airs for the first time in August 1991." The largest domino is labelled "Reptar fights fascism in 2025."
