"but do they not get that this isn't working - that it *can't*?"

i know its wild, but they still sincerely believe their strategy is the best one

one of the big revelations of the trump era is just how fundamentalist reactionary centrism is

Apeasement Isn't Working
Reactionary centrism has both failed & cannot learn from it's mistakes.

Looking forward to the ‘rise in untrained staff dying in easily preventable accidents’ inquest that’ll happen in 10 years resulting in “this policy was always a stupid short term solution but nothing will be done about it now or ever”

Drugs have caused less measurable harm to this country than landlordism so I'm chalking this one up as a win for the Greens.

Ian Austin was a Labour MP who spent the years 2015-19 furiously campaigning against his own party's leader because of alleged concerns about antisemitism. When his party lost the election, Boris Johnson made him a Lord. These are all plain facts and it's up to you what you do with them.
Absolutely insane here, like lecturing people for not recognising the decency and liberalism of Milosevic’s Serbia, yet somehow much, much worse, dumber and more insulting. You cannot big up a record of inclusion if you are destroying your subject underclass of people who have no rights.

It's not the only reason to oppose the language of takers and shirkers and all that, but people have been warning with good reason: when you establish the existence of a subclass of despised, worthless people it's acceptable to hate and abuse, everyone ends up in there eventually.
The “Labour” Party finds itself arguing ordinary workers, carers and others are “takers”.
Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

I wonder how many cigars JK Rowling smokes as she mumbles “I love it when a plan comes together” as she giggles, picturing all the children she has made feel sad and more alone today

Thinking about it a bit more, SturdyAlex is giving the game away here. “We got rid of those smelly lefties! You weren’t supposed to turn on us as well!”
Hot take: rich donors buying influence is always bad and we don’t need to minimise it in order to stick it to Farage.

Really need people to understand that Starmer, Reeves, Phillips, Lammy and Streeting aren’t going to save them. They’re not enacting far right because they’re misguided, they’ll happily do whatever they’re told by their paymasters and enjoy a nice pension once they’re done.
December 4, 2025 at 3:53 PM
They won’t. They’re already thinking about their next careers once they’ve been kicked out.
At what point do Starmer, the Tory advisors he's surrounded himself with, and his cabinet of cowards look at the polls and realise that keeping Daily Mail readers' obsessions and talking points in the headlines every day has been a fucking disaster?

This was obvious every year since the crash and every year, the lads have chosen to continue chopping up and burning the furniture to keep the Thatcherite consensus warm and mostly happy, and the right sort of chaps’ arses in the right seats. I see no reason why that would change now.

No content with fucking over trans people, Streeting aiming for people with ADHD next. Get fucked, you slimy prick.
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

Streeting orders review into mental health and ADHD diagnosis
The health secretary said the aim was to tackle a rising demand for services and the increased pressure on the NHS.

No shade to this poster but I’d say that Labour aren’t trying to appease anyone. They’re doing what they want. The party was taken over by “common sense” reactionaries aided by sensible moderates in return for making their every wish come true.

They are just as culpable.

Couldn’t really be more starkly apparent that the choice is now Billionaires or Democracy, IMO. We can have one or the other but not both, as this system is currently constituted.

Murray is a fascist and a crackpot but his summary here of the “Islamo-trans far left” is a pretty accurate summary of the general attitude of the majority of his media dork cohort. Yes, this is what the majority regard themselves as being belligerently lined up against.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

Just look at Linehan. The longer he’s been on his crusade, the more deranged and swivel-eyed he’s gotten. Never celebrates any of his “wins”, just spends his waking life shouting at former friends and family.
This is only going to get much worse too, because these people don’t only want the minority groups they hate hounded and excluded. They want society to welcome them, praise them and tell them they are correct and beautiful. And that won’t ever happen, because they are repugnant and hateful.
Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.
