Listen to @zackpolanski.bsky.social

If he can speak up on behalf of you and me and make a rational case for a #WealthTax on the obscenely rich why the f*ck can’t Labour?

Because they’re owned — locked stock and well scraped barrel — by those same elites that resent chipping in.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

People currently spluttering that you can't criticise Starmer for things Peter Mandelson did are the same people who spent several years treating antisemitic tweets from anonymous 50-follower accounts like they were press releases direct from Labour head office.

Just got back from the #SaintsFC game.
Watford were very good. They defended well and had two good wingers. They have Saints lots of problems.I thought saints were still the better team and deserved to win.
I hope Downes injury isn’t too serious.
Great debut goal for Larin.
Wellington MOM.

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM.

It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line.

A Matt Finnish or a Gloss Finnish?
Finland farmers have been spraying their deer with reflective paint in order to reduce road accidents.
Now glowing antlers light up the dark roads like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Some say it’s genius, others say it’s just plain weird but it’s definitely hard to ignore.

I think Portsmouth vs Southampton might be the best derby in English football.

In 10 reasons, with the help of Sunday's game, I tried to explain why.

The original memorial stone for Richard Parker, now located inside Pear Tree Church, Southampton. Parker was a 17-year-old cabin boy on board the yacht Mingonette, which was wrecked in the Indian Ocean on a voyage from Southampton to Australia on 5 July 1884.

My reflection on recent #SaintsFC matches.
Opposition managers now have a template to play us.
I.e. Sit deep and narrow.
Be very aggressive in challenges.
Tactical fouls on skill players to take them out of an attack.
Saints will eventually give you a goal.
What does Tonda do to overcome this?
