Starmer could decide to introduce the PR electoral system as soon as tomorrow (would easily pass through the Commons) and kill the "reform" for good.
He's not gonna do that, obviously.

Instead, he'll keep gambling with the prospect of fascists getting into power for the sake of....what exactly?

The least surprising news ever. But also thank you to @robevansgdn.bsky.social & @direthoughts.com for shining a light on how two Silicon Valley lobbyists have joined forces to advance their billionaire-funded techno-accelerationist agenda into the heart of UK govt.

Laura Kuennsberg alleged that students at a UK university are "compiling lists of Jewish students so they can be marked & then harassed". Based on what she'd been told by the ultra-dodgy pro-Israel lobby group Stand With Us.

She gave zero evidence for this inflammatory allegation.

Right: A British Jew on the anti-genocide in Israel protest wearing a watermelon a kippah

Shame on Labour for conflating anti genocide protests with anti Jewish sentiment -disgraceful

Thatcher said "The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

The trouble with capitalism is that if you run out of other people's money, you can do it again with a new limited company

A UK presenter shouldn’t crow about an audience’s ignorance of Nathan Gill who took bribes from Kremlin agents & was a close ally of Farage . It shows they have failed to do their job . What next , telling us that Watergate was one of the lowest points in investigative journalism 🥺 ?

Joy @joybe.bsky.social · 2d

The Nathan Gill scandal should be huge news so why has the British media been mainly silent about it? (I think we know 🤔)
Here's Fiona Bruce shutting down any mention & acting like the audience aren't interested.

Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
