Blues, Elvis Presley, LFC and St Helens rugby league fan. Too left wing to be a socialist and too critical of human nature to have any faith in capitalism.

Felon47 is robbing, pillaging and plundering our country. We are being taxed without representation. Our taxpayer dollars are going into his and his spawns pockets. This shit is obscene. How no one with ANY perceived power is not calling bullshit on ANY of this is a total mind fuk to me.

Sorry James, but this is just nonsense. Mandelson freelanced in disgraceful and obnoxious ways. But his role in Gordon Brown's government was to pursue similarly undemocratic and destructive policies, just without the obvious corruption. See bsky.app/profile/geor...
More integrity in his little finger than his detractors have displayed in entire careers.

Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power.

Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.

George Finch says Reform in Warwickshire didn't campaign on a pledge to lower council tax. A social media post shared by the central party directly contradicts his claim

Reform council leader claims party didn’t promise to reduce council tax, but social media post suggests otherwise
The central party promoted a Reform candidate in Warwickshire by saying he was ready to "lower council tax".

Rep Robin Kelly: “I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem — I'm standing outside of ICE headquarters & I want Kristi Noem to know I'm watching her — Congress is watching her — but most importantly, the American people are watching her & we do not like what we see. She must go. She must be impeached”

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.

Nigel Farage once vehemently believed that defections should trigger by-elections…

I challenged Reform’s Andrea Jenkyns on his now opposite stance

And this was the state of her response…

I think Labour Party historians should get the ball rolling on discussing how we discuss/frame the history of New Labour in light of the latest Mandelson scandal.

This is some bitch boy wailing. Grow up. You lost. You only win with cheating and gerrymandering. Republicans are such sore losers. Keep voting blue, I need to see more of this.

The continuing Mandelson story is I think just another illustration of why this government's approval fell dramatically and remains rock bottom. The change that didn't come - freebies, scandals, old faces, and no sign of understanding why these matter.

In other words, appeal to hatred.

It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering

This sounds is like a very cogent advertisement to join the Greens
This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party.

Just remember that as they continue to attack us.

This is who they are. Mask is off.

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

This country isn’t divided between Democrats and Republicans. It’s divided between wealthy people who think it’s fine to do whatever it takes to amass money and power—including sucking up to known pedophiles for access to the elite— and the rest of us suckers who are not amoral monsters.
