I can't be bought. But if you pay £70 on Cameo I'll say hello to Hugh Janus or cheer on the IRA.

LIARS GOTTA LIE!
Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.

Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

The fact that Mahmood intends to appeal this decision tells you everything you need to know about this 'shabby' government and its intention towards continuity despite the fall of McSweeney and the disgraced Mandelson!
The High Court has confirmed what we all knew: proscribing Palestine Action was unlawful.

The state must stop using “counter-terror” powers to criminalise solidarity and intimidate working-class people out of protest.

The Labour government must lift the proscription now and drop every case NOW.

Labour’s vote is collapsing everywhere.

In Peterborough last night, as in Gorton and Denton, voting Green is the only way to stop Reform.
Fletton & Woodston (Peterborough) Council By-Election Result:

➡️ RFM: 29.4% (New)
🌍 GRN: 27.6% (+16.2)
🌳 CON: 21.8% (-11.8)
🌹 LAB: 16.8% (-31.2)
🔶 LDM: 4.4% (-0.7)

No TUSC (-1.9) as previous.

Reform GAIN from Labour.
Changes w/ 2024.

Fascists gotta fash
Jim Ratcliffe, a tax resident of Monaco who has legally avoided an estimated £4 billion in UK taxes, says,

"The UK is being colonised by immigrants, isn't it?"

Ed Conway, "You met recently with Nigel Farage, didn't you?"

Jim Ratcliffe, "I did"

The reason there are no Starmerites is because there's no such thing as Starmerism. There's no ideology, no vision, no political beliefs; only, technocratic managerialism that continues to drag us all down to the bottom. Problem is: if you only manage a corrupt system, it makes you corrupt, too.
"They’ve attacked all these people, in a desperate attempt to make clear to racists and social conservatives that they hear them. If the racists and social conservatives were actually going to vote for them this would merely seem abhorrent. When they clearly aren’t, it’s stupid too."
Everybody Hates Keir
How did Starmer go from landslide to endgame in under two years? Also this week: the most murderous mammal on earth; and every thought I have about an insane train plan.

Clive Lewis ought to be the next Labour PM. He won't be, of course, coz even if he put himself forward, he wouldn't be allowed onto the ballot. The New Labour neoliberal project continues unabated, even without Mandelson & McSweeney at the top of the governing party.
I told @time.com I'd like to see those who have betrayed this country, betrayed our party, betrayed our movement, to face the full force of the legal system and the law.

Oh, you are one of the Labour cultists who still believe they are a left-wing party?

Don't you understand? When a party is taken over by neoliberal bigots it becomes a neoliberal bigoted party.

You had a chance of being a left-wing party and blew it.

Abandon ship.

Ahh Stewart Lee! "Bloody Huguenots, coming over here, from France, bloody religious heretics... doubting transsubstanciation"
Did you know, some of Nigel Farage's ancestors were French Huguenots who fled to England in the late 17th century, escaping brutal religious persecution when the French state stripped them of rights - and under Reform Ltd policies they'd have been sent packing!

I'll be surprised if he survives a fortnight! Or, maybe, the day after the forthcoming Gorton & Denton by-election result "disaster".
After changes at No 10, is the Prime Minister now on borrowed time? My Eastern Eye column this week on suggests Keir Starmer probably does have 3 months in office to persuade his Ministers & MPs against changing leaders, but surviving beyond May look more perilous.

This'll work out in the same way that sacking Kwarteng did for Truss, I'd warrant!
NEW: McSweeney allies suggest he carried can for Starmer over Mandelson decision. They say it was wrong to suggest he pushed for appointment, and was careful to ensure others shared views, which were unanimous. “He gave his advice, but that’s all it was. Keir made the decision.”
