Red Dawn: The Zionist Cut
Nothing speaks to the lack of underclass voices in film criticism like the plaudits showered on a film that boils down to “beware the neighbour on benefits who may be a murderer just waiting for an inciting incident”

Attempts by filmmakers to address the internet-induced cultification of Americans are laudable, but in an age where some of the wildest conspiracy theories are being proven true, even the most entertaining efforts are failing to meet the moment.

No amount of walking about and stage furniture management can help shake the impression that the new West End production of John Le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is like a radio play performed on stage.

To understand the desperation bleeding from these leaks you need to remember that the anti trans movement in the UK have a pre determined timeline, as they view it, for what will happen.

The SC judgement was a tactical victory for the anti trans movement in the UK. No point denying it 1/x
"Trans people could be banned from single-sex spaces based on how they look. The Times has seen the equalities watchdog’s final guidance, which Whitehall figures fear Bridget Phillipson is delaying to avoid a political backlash" [Times]

If you saw Shabana Mahmood’s idiotic and insulting display in the Commons this week and wondered: what kind of slack-jawed ignoramus would fall for this abysmal bullshit about how her ethnicity means you can’t tell her not to do migrant crackdowns? Well, the answer is: Guardian columnists.

Concern is growing for this former pro-Palestine protestor who has been missing since July 2024. Many are afraid she may have suffered a severe mental injury and although she was last seen in the Westminster area, she is believed to be lost and travelling without a moral compass.

The launch of Your Party has been a complete and utter shambles. It has been a disaster class in how to launch a political party. If the other parties wanted to sabotage Your Party, they could not have done a better job, writes Ricky Hale (@councilestatemedia.uk) open.substack.com/pub/councile...
Factional infighting is going to destroy Your Party before it has even got started
There is something I’ve been thinking for a while, but have been reluctant to write down, but now it needs to be said: the launch of Your Party has been a complete and utter shambles.

As pointed out at the other place: it’s a wonder that with his busy schedule of deliberately wrecking his own party to media outlets choking to repeat every word at this point, Mandelson managed to find the time to meet Jeffrey Epstein again. But he seems to have managed it.
