Part of the problem is that even if it was a manifesto promise, it's being touted in such a way as to give right wingers and racists a win. The whimsical sign. "Sorry!" Even if they are doing something right, Labour go out of their way to taint it and lean towards their racist target audience.
I get the anger with the refugee policy, with the performative Reform-voter-focused comms, with the use of X, and with 100 other things; but closing the hotels was literally a manifesto pledge to remove profiteers from the asylum equation, and military bases always had to be part of the alternative.
On Twitter, Shabana Mahmood is proudly boasting that she will close all asylum hotels and herd people onto military bases instead.

There's this woman doing an absolutely wild social experiment on TikTok. She calls random US churches with the sound of a baby crying in the background, explain the baby hasn't eaten in over 12 hours, and asks for 1 bottle of baby formula. She has a public spreadsheet of how each one responded. 1/3

Kind of wild just how bad the Democrats are at politics. Anyone with half a brain cell could smash Trump and the GOP with the Epstein stuff and Schumer will still be like "we might rely on some paedophile-adjacent votes in the general, let's cool it."

important to remember that we we talk about the BBC’s right-wing bias we mean in the way they chose what to report on and how they frame those issues, and when the right talks about the BBC’s left-wing bias they mean that sometimes the person who reads out the news is black

The biggest problem with rebooting Bond is that Bond has always kind of represented an old fashioned British cool, always stylish, the brands he uses meticulously chosen. He might have been an arsehole but he was always the coolest guy in the room.

Of course the real new bond film should be a young, cool James Bond.
Plus a grim, hardcore James Bond.
Plus a black James Bond in a metal suit.
And a Cyborg James Bond.

The way to get around the James Bond is dead problem is just to make really good James Bond film and don't mention it and no one will actually care because the film is so good.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.
Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

She felt within her rights to use the women's changing room on account of the fact that it was within her rights and also, as the article admits, following NHS policy. But it's so cool that British state media is going full Ministry of Truth to pretend the last 20 years never happened

But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat
