Its wild to see members of the PLP say 'we simply wouldn't have won without McSweeney.' Lads, you were shooting fish in a very small mug. A magic 8 ball could orchestrate a win over 2024's tories. The reason you are facing an existential crisis right now tho is McSweeney.

The public are IMO fully entitled to ask “why was this abysmal cunt everyone hates ever put in charge of anything” and the unfortunate answer is: he told maybe fifty of the country’s most awful journalists exactly what they wanted to hear, with no regard for what was real. And that’s all it takes.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I note that in 2018, both Mandelson and Johnson’s political careers were completely fucked due to their own crookedness, and both were deliberately brought back via extremely dubious media campaigns because they were useful in defeating the left. Should we learn any lessons from these Cane toads?
![The New Statesman • @NewSt... 1h X The Mandelson affair: Inside the scandal of a century by @PronouncedAlva
When Keir Starmer first entered Downing Street as Prime Minister, appointing Peter Mandelson ambassador to Washington wasn't part of the plan. Starmer was persuaded that the delicacy of the position would require a politician, rather than a traditional diplomat. But intriguingly, he initially favoured George Osborne over Mandelson, according to a person familiar with the conversations.
"Keir doesn't even like [Mandelson], and never really has," one Labour insider now insists. And yet, five months later, the man Starmer apparently never liked got the job.
How that happened - and what changed in the intervening months - is now a question to which the answer may determine whether
Starmer survives as Prime Minister.
Mandelson's links to the notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have plunged Labour into a fresh crisis it cannot afford. Five months since Starmer sacked his US ambassador, new revelations have placed fresh scrutiny on the very decision to appoint him in the first place. Because, while No 10 says it is shocked and appalled by the latest developments, Mandelson's relationship with Epstein beyond his 2008 conviction was not only in the public domain, but pointed o plainly and directly, to Starmer and his of staff, Morgan McSweeney, before the appointed him. And still they went ahead wit the decision.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5hyjbx4hnlxe5il24ydnn4sr/bafkreieedqeh6pccykdtqbnwexjyjumxdk5fowgl3krlfvspw4zavv7ee4@jpeg)

Pretty safe to assume everyone knows what one of britains most pominent fascists meant when saying this on one of britains most prominent fascist podcasts
A reminder that Reform's candidate for Gorton and Denton, Matt Goodwin, has still not explained what he meant by this claim that developments in genetic science will make younger generations more right wing as they understand the "inherent differences" between different groups

oh it’s far worse than that, Epstein’s actions have been common knowledge in elite circles since the 80s, meaning every admin since then knew and did nothing because it would mean hurting the party and its donors.

Purely coincidental that I decided I didn't like the Green Party around the time they started possessing a threat to power and became hostile to transphobes. Purely coincidental. Real reason I don't like them: Red Zack is not an electable good boy who wears a normal suit.

Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand.
We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is.
We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.
