The fake amnesia of British journalists is incredibly patronising

Yes. He has. From his Facebook account:

Theres a 3 day riot in Norfolk attempting to lynch people for being a different ethnicity, police officers have been bit, homes have been invaded by force - and this incredibly trivial scandal at Cambridge is the top story on BBC news

The leaked 2016 emails from the 'Whistleblowers' messages where they protect Liddle (whose presence in Labour at all was a big red flag) from the complaints procedure - because he's Ian Austin's mate, and by extension Tom Watson's - was extremely illustrative on the sheer depth of bullshit.

Very strange how the graduates of London School of Economics are singing from the same tune.

lol he did the old furious-response-then-insta-block routine. Which means I won't even see it. Chap is not well.

Lol yeah very sincere criticism from the left there not opportunistic nonsense at all. Cringe af

Driving @dhothersall.bsky.social into a total meltdown did have an actual useful benefit, as his attempts to pretend Labour didn't run an attack ad in Gorton & Denton led me to pictures of the same van at their campaign launch.

Remarkable to claim "it was widely called out at the time" whilst, at the time, making an argument based on it not being called out widely. I'm sure we can keep going, but I don't know what the point would be given we've established hypocrisy is really no burden and the high ideals are hollow.

It's the exact same van that Lucy Powell stood in front of at the campaign launch. "Whoever made it" also got local Labour councillors to record videos on the side panels. The problem to be fixed eh? No action being taken, not being called out. All so hollow.

Anything at all to do with the labour party? Yes, quite a bit, the sides of the van made it clear. So left-wing politicians are meant to be better, but not the Labour party. Then you can pretend what, Reform bought a van for you?

Did anyone challenge labour for calling the green party pimps and drug dealers? Did anyone in Labour talk about having better standards then? This van drove around and around Manchester. Labour MPs said it was fake, that it was AI, that it was a false flag. So lying on top of the nastiness.

Basic standards such as giving Peter Mandelson a top job and letting him run the Labour party and the country from behind the scenes without any accountability whatsoever. Are you making this up? You know political violence *is* acceptable from The Right and gets a pass from centre + right

Netanyahu visited the US multiple times under Biden, what are you talking about, have you had a stroke? Do you remember Biden prosecuted protestors against Israel too? That Biden didn't recognise the genocide *you* seem to? demmajorityforisrael.org/who-we-are/d...

So absolutely essential an issue to you, sure Johnny.

It seems pretty notable that Steven Reed, the minister saying this, was deeply involved in Labour Together, which notoriously tried to avoid declaring its funding for years and misled the public about its purposes, members and donors A light fine barely 1% of its dodgy donations? Politics for sale

Without fear or favour huh

Those ones where they are much more negative about the Tories, sure. Now, you remember previous elections. How do you think those charts would look then? Good for the goose, good for the gander. I'd prefer it was different, but you don't get to sow then complain about reaping.

Well, certainly Keir Starmer is the first Labour leader to have ever faced outward criticism from his own side. Which is nowt to do with how the newspapers treated him. We both ofc remember that since 2024 that Wes Streeting was tipped as the next Big Dog, until Epstein emails. KS made his bed.

I grant that you are too smug to understand how this all works, but no journalist is obliged to write PR for any politician. When they choose to send a glowing text from an anonymous source as much as when they choose to send some shit talk, it's just PR, not 'news'. Anonymous opinion isnt news.

I gotta be honest, I had not realised how many Americans were this fucking stupid that they think anyone wouldn't do something that was an easy fix solely because America did it. Particularly underneath the post of someone who fitted an AC unit for uh $80k of public money. Good example.

$600k and $80K extra for AC right? For this tiny house?

A politics poisoned by hypocrisy and insincerity. If only you had a monopoly on it Raf.

We do. You don't. We do. You can whine about vested interests etc all you want; you don't get to dismiss that as a factor until it comes to your boy, who was in fact given an easy ride to get there. It's the hypocrisy you see? None of your cult can even perceive it.

You seem to be quite fixated on political attacks on the Green party than the actual policies or costs. Even the article you've linked to highlights some of the benefits cited by the Rowntree foundation/Child Poverty Action/etc etc etc (odd that you're entirely unfamiliar with those?)

It's mad how the Guardian/BBC both heavily insinuate that it has to be Mandelson. The casual reader can easily miss that the source of the messages is otherwise completely elided. And obviously, the Spectator is close with Mandelson, so more than most this is incredibly straightforward.

Sure. Remind me again Rachel who is the chap on the right in this picture and how much was Tony paid to be just as enthusiastic about him?

Thanks to @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social mate Rees-Mogg. The reason the Right always wins is because Jess and her buddies are literally their buddies, and will always side with them over any opposition.

E.g. for the most superficial attempt at an example. Ian appeals to the politics nerds, but its empty all the way down.
