the starmer government's response to any far-right announcement: "yeah I get that it's contemptible, but hear me out - what if there's a position on this that's *beneath* contempt?"

Of everything, and there's a lot, Labour could say about Jenrick to condemn him, that he "presided over an open borders experiment" isn't just objectively bollocks, it is also hugely offensive to those people whose lives Jenrick ruined as Immigration Minister. 1/
www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
And this is what Keir Starmer’s press secretary has said about Robert Jenrick at the lobby briefing this morning. Robert Jenrick was the immigration minister in a government that presided over an open borders experiment, a health minister who left people stuck on waiting lists, and a Treasury minister during the worst decline in living standards on record.” While Reform continues to welcome failed Tory retreads, this Labor government is putting the country back on track.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Either the media gatekeepers - journalists, editors, producers, studio bookers - want a Reform government, or think Reform is good for business in a rage/click bait way, or there's some Freudian self-flagellation going on.

Plaid Cymru and the Greens are surging in Wales, according to this latest poll.

Where’s the media narrative around this? Where are the stories saying Farage is failing? When will Labour try to regain ground by appealing to Plaid & Green voters, not just copy Reform?

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

I don't miss the reactionary politics and trolling on X, but the mis-interpretation and parsing of posts, as well as projection of meaning onto them, is really full on here.
