...media posts with the timezone they were posted from. It was just after 4am in Texas when Musk reshared a fake post suggesting that Keir Starmer was planning to set up “detainment camps” in the Falkland Islands. Glancing at Musk’s X feed shows him regularly staying up long into the night...

Read the Olusoga piece in Guardian and he puts these riots in context of British history of anti immigrant riots. Which it had been assumed would not happen again. Also that class and race go together. Another article in Guardian puts forward that the knee jerk quick sentencing is making the...

Various threads this could go on as well, but here's as good as any: https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/parliament-cleaners-say-so-much-new-deal-workers-they-face-mass-lay-offs

in which case: seriously though if you come across a link of her giving a genuinely impressive speech please post and maybe tag me.

I disagree with your characterisation of Clinton as vacuous, she's an extremely well-educated and competent lawyer and is quite astute and capable, politically. Ultimately and unfortunately, however, I suppose Clinton was arguably more Washington DC establishment, she was more 'inside the...

...thanking him for his endorsement, which means something in itself. TBH Harris has surprised me thus far. She's not quite the vacuous Clinton-style (husband or wife) centrist that I had assumed her to be. Imagine Keir Starmer sharing a stage with Mick Lynch and thanking him for his endorsement!

from the other thread: Really heartening. From there though: Now I wonder how widely he's intending to cast that net.

Another Trump style man-baby, playing with his toy (twitter), when he hasn't got a fucking clue what he's talking about, and the damage he is doing in spreading this nonsense conspiracy theory...

Euan Philipps's gang is doing two things here: first, they conflate Jews with Israel and second, they seem to believe genocide and ethnic cleansing is fine and should continue. https://archive.is/uzmMv Original article here...

...their tactics. With regards to Manchester on Saturday, we saw the extent of the state's response to the upsurge in far right militancy: Keir Starmer's new police powers that followed Southport were fully applied to antifascists and ultimately led the GMP to facilitate the violence of the far...

This came up in Owen Jones youtube broadcast. Pro Israel lobby are putting a lot of pressure on the new Labour government over banning arms sales to Israel. Looks like they have succeeded in delaying decision according to Jewish news...

There's no 'silent majority', except maybe the one watching TV and thinking omg why don't you all just shut up and fuck off. Silent majority is a far-right trope / dog whistle in and of itself.

Maybe the word silent is suggestive here

if the silent majority exists, why is Keir Starmer PM and not Nigel Farage? Tommy, fuck off. None of your lot were upset about those girls, they were positively gleeful about having a jolly day out and getting to beat up Muslims.

Yes he should just sit on his arse and let mildness mobs run riot. Are you insane!

Yes, I suspected and feared an authoritarian streak in Starmer. It's not taken him long.

I'm more worried about this, which appears to be Starmer going full authoritarian wet dream about surveillance of dissent: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/01/far-right-riots-keir-starmer-announce-new-violent-disorder-unit

and another thing, this smacks of the national reporting centre established by the police during the miners' strike. i don't know why or how it is hoped to make the cops' mutual aid more efficient than the present system. one thing it makes clear is that if there something kicks off in eg...
