Interesting, subtle difference between these attacks Mahmood put out today. Against Reform it's "unless we address these concerns, people will vote for them" but against the Greens it's just "their policies are bad". People who support Green policies are not a group that needs to be appeased.

Miller is useful because he says out loud what pluralities of politicians believe anyway.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Well I hate to imagine what a *worse* political strategist would do to the polling.

Left can't resist being on wrong side of a war
Whether it's Jeremy Corbyn or Zack Polanski, their foreign policy stances terrify voters outside core supporters

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

Starmer backing the false claim at PMQs that the Deputy Leader of the Greens protested in support of the Ayatollah should really be a bigger deal imo

People who have just had a traumatic journey escaping god knows what should be nowhere near a dormitory, and furthermore should be able to work. I know seen as extreme to say this now.

How disgusting of Shabana Mahmood to be pictured in a dormitory as she announces refugee status will be temporary and that coat was certainly a choice.

For all the talk of Iran being uniquely a theocracy, I'm guessing the US' Iranian counterparts talk in far less eschatological terms.

Analysts said it was not clear that destroying the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a 180,000-strong force, was possible. And Israeli officials have not said exactly how they plan to lay the groundwork for the regime's overthrow, or what might come after that, though they have suggested covert operations may be involved.
Summarising the Israeli government's position, Citrinowicz said: "If we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn't care less about the future... [or] the stability of Iran.

I notice that it was left shitposters who immediately said the aim here would be to turn Iran - a country of ninety million people - into a war-torn, ungovernable Mad Max hellscape, if possible.

Former, hated Labour centrist mayor of Newham, 2002-2018, and Labour candidate for Suffolk County Police Commissioner in 2024 has now crossed over to Reform.

Newham going NOC would be significant as well, I think - Labour's had an overwhelming majority since the council was formed.

Dagenham going to Reform would be, erm, significant. Council has been continuously Labour since 1928.

Our electoral model is predicting a chaotic set of results:
• Labour to lose at least 1 in 3 councillors.
• Labour to lose control of at least 11 local authorities.
• 10 local authorities to have no majority party (No Overall Control).
• Reform to control at least 3 local authorities.
• 9 local authorities controlled with majorities of fewer than 10.

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

I am quite tired of being subjected to the worthless, imbecilic and mealy-mouthed statements of the day drunks, coke heads, racists, islamophobes, bigots, cowards and empty suits who have been elevated to our halls of power. What a massive waste of time and human life
