Keir Starmer's "spokesman" is considerably worse at his job than even Keir Starmer, and that is a big problem.
This is just an extremely stupid bit of spin that the government is going to have to walk back, which it will probably do agonisingly slowly.
Keir Starmer’s spokesman refuses to criticise Trump for calling Europe a group of “decaying” nations led by “weak” leaders
Asked about Trump saying European countries will no longer be “viable" thanks to migration, Keir Starmer’s spokesman says the UK is “returning control to our asylum system”

There’s a lovely genre of posts on here that amount to ‘well, what Starmer really meant was X, and that’s actually sensible/diplomatic/statesmanlike’, when Starmer’s said something terrible.

Even Blair, as "Bush's poodle", wasn't that subservient and slavish. Contemptible!

The way the papers are reporting this versus the actual tribunal judgement pretty much shows us all how biased the press is to protect the transphobic people.
Peggie won a few minor things & the tribunal judged *her* to be bully and aggressor. It also criticized her legal team and their evidence.

On and on it goes. The depravity, the violence - Israel is completely beyond the pale, if it wasn't always.
Israeli soldiers raped a 13 year old Palestinian boy they had detained.
Israeli soldiers then labelled the organisation investigating the rape as a “terrorist entity”.
Rape, theft and genocidal violence seem to be embedded in Israeli society.

Britain is the best country because nowhere else could a show exist with a presenter who had Jeff Epstein's best pal as his best man, a man who resigned over the BBC's Iraq War coverage, a genocide denier cited by a mass murderer, & the dad of a serving govt minister all yucking it up of a Sunday.

To add to what @shochi.bsky.social says below, the live illustrations by Robert Nippoldt and his colleague created one of the most imaginative spectacles I've ever seen in the theatre. It was a privilege to watch their non-stop work from the front row. Paper Show Company: www.nippoldt.de/en/show

Lobbyists for a mining company wrote a bill to block lawsuits over radiation on former mines
The legislation is designed to help Fortune 500 industrial giant Mosaic Co. redevelop some of the more than 200 square miles of former phosphate mines it owns across the southern interior of Florida.
