People think it’s McSweeney’s doing.
Isn’t Mike Tapp the AI using MP? Maybe his AI alter ego would have more humanity
If you didn't know who this guy was, you wouldn't be able to guess if he was a Labour, Reform, or Tory candidate.

And that's a super quick guide to British politics in 2025.

I’m so lazy, I don’t bother to help the visually impaired because they are not worth my time. And I can understand why people who post a lot don’t bother, I mean is it worth those few extra seconds just make someone else’s life easier.
I also know nothing about blind people and screen readers

Do we all agree with András? Because I know I do
I no longer even believe this is some sort of 5D chess from McSweeney

I think they genuinely believe this shit

@lillmagill.bsky.social Did you mean this ridiculous piece, where Clive seems to miss the point that Andy Burham is not a Labour MP and that he is.
Labour MP Clive Lewis on #C4News calling for Andy Burnham to be back in the Labour party and replace Keir Starmer as the next Labour Prime Minister

What a vile, evil government this is, with no humanity or compassion. Anyone remaining in Starmer’s Labour party or supporting it should be ashamed. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Even charities and voluntary organisations (who have to remain politically neutral) have had enough of this nasty government

The FT explaining that with MPs like Streeting, the Labour party is a Centre-right to Right party now.

Sorry Zack, I know that’s not the point of your post.
So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now.

Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing.

There’s a (non) surprise, but I’m sure the Renter’s Rights bill and the House Building Targets will help 🤔
Of course not, because there is no Rent Cap or enough council/social housing and the proposed removal of social housing rent caps will only make things worse

Dan saying what we all are.

If you are a Labour supporter or are justifying what they are doing, read the rest of the thread and answer Dan’s questions.
Then think about your answers
Labour could, if not for a humane reason then at least a political one, be countering Reform's narrative. That's the only way to beat them on this. Instead they're emulating it, and in so doing reinforcing it. If Reform win the next election it will be entirely on this government for facilitating it

The abridged version of Mahmood’s statement ⬇️
"The fascists can't win if we start doing the fascisms before them which you have no choice but to vote for, traitor scum"
This is political blackmail dressed up as pragmatism. Justifying their nasty policies with “Reform will be worse”.

If you don’t support Labour you’ll get Reform (or the Tories) who that think asylum seekers only come here for benefits and housing and want to remove people’s human rights 🤔

I wonder if Darren will take the recommendations from the Social Impact Investment Advisory Group as seriously as he did the recommendations from Business Select Committee regarding Royal Mail?
I was delighted to join the Prime Minister to launch the new Office for the Impact Economy in the Cabinet Office this week.

We’ll be working with philanthropists, charities and impact investors to deliver on the promise of change.

Lesser evil my derriere
They haven’t helped people, the environment or nature. Just themselves, their donors and their corporate buddies
Bending over backwards and shedding all morality for their developer buddies, so they can make even more money at the expense of UK nature.

For this reason alone, Starmer can go do one.

‘Starmer never understood why he should have to speak to people he didn’t really know about things he didn’t care about’ 🤔
From Patrick Maguire's sub stack. Says an awful lot, and none of it good.

This 👇🏻 sums up the state of British politics and journalism.
The important issues are not whether one useless PM will be usurped by another, again.
Guardian had a story today on fears that the government's early release policy re prisoners could put domestic violence survivors at risk.

It did not make the front page. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
This whole Streeting vs Starmer story is such a Westminster bubble inanity from a bored media class that has gotten addicted to toppling governments and abdicated any responsibility for what they're actually meant to be doing in a healthy society
