Watch how the lads talk about Sir Keir: note that criticisms are not about matters of substance, they are about his poor sales technique. They want a better ad campaign, a snappier slogan, a catchier jingle, because it is *absolutely unthinkable* that there might be something wrong with the product.

The softening up of USA for a Venezualan invasion has been going on for some time (and it’s not subtle). Venezuela as global threat (from 2019!), 'Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan', Series 2, episode 1 about 11 mins 30s in.

My entire family joined Labour in the Corbyn years. None of us could understand how the party we experienced (in differebt parts of the country) bore so little resemblence to the party the BBC and the press presented. Perhaps this explains it?
Right: I already read the other two books with McSweeney and Reed bragging to journos about how excellent their campaigns of lying and wrecking were, so I’m not expecting revelations here: details, basically. So I’ll try to avoid doing 😲😲😲 every time there’s some new piece of despicable bastardry.

A substantial body of evidence supports the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy, contrary to the suggestions of some members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently reconstituted the committee.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Always remember that a parliamentary majority can (purport to) render a country "safe" by an Act. The Conservatives sought to do that with Rwanda, regardless of the facts.
Another chilling aspect... The Tories simply passed a law declaring Rwanda "safe".
Do we really trust that this govt or the next won't resort to similar tactics if this finds them politically convenient?
