Mirrors in gyms. Introverts use them to view others. Men use them to admire themselves. Women use them to inspect themselves. Ways of seeing in the wild.

Regular contributor to Times radio was dismayed that nonces get prosecuted, had close ties to Putin’s Kremlin, lied, close links to 2 child sex traffickers and countless other abusers. Our political and media class is trying to welcome him back into the fold. Ghouls

“Unlike many of my other friends, my very good friend the international child sex trafficker and paedophile Jeffery didn’t invite me to his paedophile parties because they were purely heterosexual affairs, and I’m gay” is an excuse only the UK political & media elite would accept.

If this is the best of all possible worlds, what then are the others?
Unreal. Their minds ravaged by their sense of self importance, they lead us to destruction.

They’ve been doing this for 70 years. These death throes may in fact merely be the birth pangs of the curtain being torn away. The world and its resources are being carved up. All that is different to the last 500 years is any pretense of higher calling is gone.
This is what the death throes of a dead empire look like. Dangerous and wild and everywhere, but ultimately doomed.

Invading nations and stealing natural resources? Seems the norm.

The western world’s leaders and western media will now go into overdrive pretending not to understand this or the last 70 years of history.🫡
Watch this. Watch again.

Searching through the archives to see if Brian Walden mused that Labour’s failure to embrace Benny Hill’s Professor Peach from the Italian Job was the cause of Thatcherism’s rise. The bar is very low.
“He was grotesque. He was vulgar. But why shouldn't Loadsamoney, why shouldn't Harry Enfield's plasterer, have been a natural Labour voter?”

Once a joke on Thatcherism, is this now sort of person being “screwed” by the economy under Labour?

In place of analysing parties’ policies and the material impact upon people’s lives. Or scratching away at the surface to reveal the dark causes for people’s disillusion. They drag up a comedy character from nearly 40 years ago to explain the here and now of politics. Off their tits.

A microcosm for all political decisions in most of Europe too. To enrich the few and to turn the guns on anyone even thinking about changing things.

Everything they are doing suggests the west has decided that climate catastrophe is acceptable if it means not further boosting China’s economy. Rather than long term solutions they are planning to machine gun down the desperate as the world burns. Power and wealth safe, as we suffer.

Labour's Jake Richards hits back at Trump's attacks on Europe, and why he believes the ECHR will be updated so migrant laws can be changed

Being patriotic means opening the door to the possibility of torturing your citizens openly rather than secretly in the name of national strength and flags.

Patriotism update. On knees. Pleadingly gazing at a US reality TV star. But in front of flags.

The tactics used in the miners strike, the cover up of Hillsborough, Windrush, the consequences of austerity, the deadly actions during Covid - didn’t even register for these lads.
I really don't think he's saying that, tho. More that there's a genuine risk of fascist authoritarianism under Reform of the sort we've never seen before under the Tories. Which I don't think is a surprising thing for him to think. Or, tbh, wrong.

I’ve interviewed Keir Starmer for @theobserveruk.bsky.social. He is defiant about his leadership and says he’ll prove his critics wrong. He says Angela Rayner will be back in Cabinet, the Greens are “nuts” and young people have been “collateral damage” of past policy observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Whereas introducing wildly authoritarian laws, allowing huge individual political donations and removing jury trials whilst Nigel fucking Farage waits in the wings is perfectly sane and safe?

A hint for you, the communists think the liberal saviour rounding people up for videos of deportations, describing safety for Palestinians as wrong & refusing citizenship is cruel, extreme far right & dangerous. The fascists think it doesn't go far enough. The blur isn't where you claim it is.

“People were put off by the identity politics so voted for the right” kind of loses substance when it is the right going balls deep for their own identity politics.

Sleeve analysis. Text messages retyped as reporting. Certainty followed swiftly by utter confusion as to what the politicians they boosted stand for. Follow to understand less about what is going on

A handy list of why things are like they are. And why the last two general elections saw governments elected with strong journalistic fanfare but apparently very little notion of what their policy plans were.
Have just added a load more people to my starter pack of UK political journalists, commentators, politicos and experts, for anyone who's just arrived here, or looking for some more familiar faces
