Quite remarkable that these people genuinely imagine that they were heroes for pulling every dirty trick in the book to expel the left. "It was horrible. People were calling me a liar simply because I was lying".
And yet, it could all backfire for Burnham.
Even if he gets through all the hurdles, there's no guarantee he'll be welcomed.
“Where was he in the Corbyn years?," says one MP. "I was in the trenches, dealing with all the abuse, with people in tears – and he swans off to be mayor of Manchester."

Yknow you lose the defence against criticism of “let someone grieve in their own way“ when they keep being in the press and actively try to influence politics with their grief
Esther Ghey is facilitating the rewriting of history. The circumstances of Brianna’s death are being rewritten to obscure the fact that she was murdered for being trans. It is mentioned not once in this article.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

What if the problem isn’t that they can’t find their spines, but that they are, in fact, standing fully erect, on their ten toes, behind precisely the political project they want, the ideology they believe justifies it, and the means and measures with which they intend to advance it?
Walz: "There's a whole lot of Republicans who for whatever reason cannot find their spine, but they might find the ability to know they're not gonna win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right, the rule of law, and human decency."

they just played an interview with one of the protesters that got interrupted by ice firing tear gas into the crowd. the chyron: “protestors clash with federal agents”
just unbelievable to watch the news in real time and see how hard it is for them to say “the video doesn’t match what the government is saying.” they’re literally shrugging their shoulders and scratching their heads

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Antisemitism is, for example, wearing a keffiyeh in public - not, for example, the Prime Minister instructing the institutions of state to hound the highest-profile Jewish politician in the country for his conscientious objection to the genocide being carried out in his name.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has ordered his team to increase attacks on the Greens for antisemitism and their "extreme policies" to give up nuclear weapons and leave NATO

I mean, we all laugh at David Cameron because he fucked it into the sun chasing the votes of racist pensioners, but he did at least get a few of them, and not none.

The Kurds repeatedly getting fucked over and left in a hail of gunfire is one of many reasons why I am always highly skeptical about our relentless commitment to human freedom everywhere, and about any new adventures that rely upon perpetual support from the White House in particular.

yer da not taking the christmas dinner incident well is he
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

You know when you’re watching fireworks and you get one of those where the concussive blow is even more impressive than the visual and sound?
