The Glass is Empty

How are things looking politically in France Andrew? Out of the frying pan as it were.
But at least you’ve got the sun 🤡

It took three of their brightest to cobble this shit together 😀

Obama the American President who killed innocents around the world but did it with grace and dignity.
You fucking clown 🤡

Whatever their owners tell them to do.

Why did we need to turn up at all to join in this complete shitshow?

This. THIS. 1000 TIMES THIS.

It also means “ We are fucking terrified of Zack Polanski.”

Not only acceptable but absolutely essential in order to get anywhere in politics now.

I definitely think Polanski's heart is in the right place on migration, but I do think he (along with the rest of the left) needs to work towards a conversation that recognises migrants as equally human rather than emphasising the opportunity they offer to exploit wage arbitrage.

As a matter of rhetoric, Polanski must drop the phrase ‘managed migration’, since it explicitly adopts the framing and language of anti-migrant parties like Labour, Conservatives, Reform, etc. Take the stronger position: ‘fair migration’ is sufficient. Everyone (except the racists) wants what’s fair

Now that you put it that way 🤷🏻‍♂️

These feckless fuckwits can’t even do corruption efficiently.

Nigel Farage’s outfit 😀

Rogue state.

I’m realizing that, at some point in seeing the Gaza genocide, a flame went out in my heart I haven’t seen since. A steady drumbeat of atrocities and brazen sadism rewarded with, at best, tacit complicity, if not open bloodlust and frothing glee, eventually deadened something in me and left me cold.

I stopped reading when you dismissed the catastrophe facing Iran as a passing fad of Trump soon to be forgotten.
Who actually cares what you think ?

Harry isn’t really his son 🤫

idk I think the people paying the price are the Iranians and I don’t give a fuck about how it impacts “ordinary Americans”

“Yes I thoroughly enjoyed those late night chicken chow mein deliveries. Liking a Chinese doesn’t make me a traitor to my country”.

The idea that what we need is a lawyer is absurd. The US & Israel are quite open that they are engaged in an unprovoked attack on a recalitrant state and consider assassination to be an acceptable method of policing it. There is no law here and the UK has no strategic autonomy.

The decison to provide support only for "defensive strikes" is mere sophistry. Trump's public dressing-down of Starmer isn't because he isn't getting his way but because the UK govt isn't praising him to the skies (though there's plenty among the Tories & Reform doing so).

The "caution" being praised here is simply Starmer blinking in the headlights. The UK is already implicated in the US/Israel attack on Iran. The drone launched at Akrotiri was clearly meant to be symbolic payback for the UK's complicity in the assault on Gaza.

Except she’ll be sailing the world in a Chinese junk rather than a luxury yacht.

Those chicken chow mein deliveries were perfectly innocent. I admit that I love a Chinese but not enough to betray my country.

All those late night chicken chow mein deliveries were totally innocent. “I like a Chinese but not enough to betray my country “.

She never questioned the chicken chow mein deliveries every single night 😋
“I do like a Chinese but not enough to betray my country”.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle. They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice. Thankfully, the tide is

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Our Home Affairs Select Committee report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been published. An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands Police.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome. We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Follow The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

I have no allegiance to Your Party. And yes they are totally feckless. But comparing that to what’s going on in Iran is pathetic.
That is a pure tragedy manufactured by Netanyahu and Trump.

You’re right! Multiple parties can be utter venal cunts.
