The end game
Scottish Labour leader calls for Keir Starmer to step down, saying the 'distraction needs to end'.
Starmer is an electoral liability. Likely successors taking soundings in Westminster.
The next leader must not come from the Starmer camp.

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency

Yes. People love to paint Corbyn and Starmer as opposites but there are throughlines over their tenures atop the Labour Party: corrosive, faux macho bullying, horrible appointments made for loyalty rather than competence, a sneering indifference to racism & gaslighting of its victims
(If No.10 and its outriders had an ounce of self-awareness, they’d be asking themselves why the government’s flaws are uncomfortably similar to the Corbyn leadership’s flaws)

Reflecting on this, I think everyone should have the experience of getting documented proof that yes, in fact your enemies are conspiring against you.
I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

This is in part why I don't necessarily think the divide in the US is strictly between doctrinaire Zionism and anti-Zionism, though these can be useful self sorting mechanisms, but between those who simply think Israel *has the right* to rule over Palestinians and those who do not.
The underlying political consensus prior to Oct 2023 in the US was that Palestine was an internal issue which the Israelis were entitled to managing for the indefinite future. This was the view of all in DC but literally just a handful. The divide was on the *preference* for *how* Israel managed it.
Most of the time whether implicitly or explicitly what is being said is that there was a ceasefire for Israeli Jews.

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

There’s a guy in A2 who stands on Washtenaw every Saturday morning with signs decrying the genocide in Gaza, but also one that asks “did six million really die?” He’s not interested in the plight of Palestinians; he’s looking for an excuse to air his antisemitism. Fuck him. This doesn’t help Gazans.
Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but the only references to Netanyahu in the Epstein files are emails sent exchanging articles about him, or others discussing him.
I think it's very bad that the most popular left-wing streamer on the internet is a raging antisemite.

Hasan is definitely one of those people who (like Sneako) only supported Zohran Mamdani because he thought Zohran was actually an antisemite.
