Remember kids: our meekly capitulating to every single new Putin-backed fascist obscenity from Farage is *entirely different* from letting Farage run the country because... erm... something something /contd p94
The battle for Britain in the years ahead is between a modern, diverse Britain led by Labour or a dark, divisive Britain under Reform.
All of us in the Labour Party must get behind the Prime Minister, rise to the challenge and deliver a richer, fairer and stronger future.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

He's a third-generation blueshirt, with multiple relatives who've been FG elected representatives, whose chief achievement has been to turn a landslide election victory into a poll rating *exactly* like that of Fine Gael and in similarly-record-time. He has literally turned UK Labour into FG.
Wondering which Irish political party gives Morgan McSweeney a job first.

If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

Trump could say the n-word on live TV and the Times’ first reaction would be “it was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware of the word’s complicated history”
The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

32 years after the fact, I still marvel at how this man simply shaved off the hands-down nonciest moustache of the 20th century, and people suddenly started behaving like he was a serious person
NEW: Mandelson just sent a memo to UK newspapers via the press watchdog demanding they stop publishing his links to Epstein.
He cited clauses in the Editors code, designed to protect grieving families.
The memo was NOT to be published.
The National just said ‘fuck that’ & published it in full 👏

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

UPDATE: I've had a response from the Cabinet Office!

It might be worth reminding folks that (now, Deputy) O'Flynn had the lowest attendance at Cork City Council meetings — in the end, even frequently missing the committee he chaired.
However, by some stroke of fortune, he was in attendance at this meeting — and raised no objection to the scheme.
