I'm going to assume that Jean Rushby of Hayfield is white, able-bodied, and cis. Her letter screams unacknowledged #privilege and wholesale contempt for those members of our communites that this government has targetted. #racism #ableism #transphobia #LiberalsAreEnemies

Letter published by the Guardian newspaper, 25 April 2026. Reads Surely we should be aware of a critical equation with regard to Keir Starmer's premiership. Two big pluses: keeping the country out of the damaging American war and rolling back the damage caused by Tory policies to the social fabric. Then one minus: appointing a dodgy ambassador to a dodgy head of a warfaring country. On balance, this equation is positive for Starmer. Signed Jean Rushby, Hayfield, Derbyshire.

#NigelFarage here, being open about not being on the side of pensioners or stay-at-home parents. Usually, both groups are heroes of conservatives. So what is he?

Tweet from Nigel Arage, leader of the British far-right party Reform UK. Reads the big divide in Britain today is between those who work and those who don't. Reform re on the side of Brits who set their alarm clocks, get up early and go to work.

I'm not sure that Georgia Meadows, who is listed there as the Trans Officer, is still with them, given this post.

#NigelFarage is, and always has been, a fraud.

Screenshot of a tweet by Nigel Farage. Reads Juat landed in America with GB News. A Trump win will make the world a safer place. Accompanying the text is a picture of Farage in what appears to be an airport parking lot.

How the fuck does shit like this get commissioned? #journalism #wealth #privilege

Subheading for an article in a Guardian supplement, reads, apparently unironically, 'How did £25 for a takeaway bowl become a typical working lunch'. It appears to have not been written, although it does say 'words by Morwenna Ferrier'.

Yeah, well, I condemn Starmer's racist rhetoric (and that of his Home Sec). For over a year, his twitter feed has largely consisted of anti-immigrant rhetoric. #racistUK #racistLabour #KeirStarmer

Headline from the Guardian's live politics blog, reads Starmer condemns Reform UK's racist rhetoric. Subheading reads 'PM says country's discourse is being poisoned and polluted by rhetoric pitting communities against one another

Mark Nixon@fatbadger442· Feb 8

Fully Trumpian. The Home Office has always racist to its core - it's part of its mission - but the Labour Party is now fully initiated into the racist culture. #DontVoteLabour #racistLabour #immigration

Post from the UK Home Office with a graphic reading nearly sixty thousand illegal immigrants and foreign criminals removed or deported over a background of a passenger plane

Embarrassing. #Scotland #DontVoteLabour

Social media post by Keir Starmer. Picture has, in the foreground, a table with a plate of carefully laid-out Tunnocks products, an unopened can of Irn-Bru, and what appears to be an orange cheddar roll, and in the background in soft-focus an apparently unembarrassed Keir Starmer. Accompanying text reads To those in Scotland, and around the world, celebrating over a Burns supper, I wish you a very happy Burns Night.

Post by @kashana.blacksky.app, dated 24 January 2026, reads At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no-one.

Mark Nixon@fatbadger442· Jan 6

The Guardian's adoration of Starmer knows no bounds. This is genuinely disgusting tripe from @pippacrerar.bsky.social. She would have been first in line to cheer when Chamberlain stepped off that plane. #appeasement #cowardice

Headline to 'analysis' piece by Pippa Crerar, political editor of the Guardian. Reads Starmer delivers masterclass in hedging his bets after Venezuela raid'. Subheading reads Prime Minister assures colleagues he may one day stand up to Donald Trump - but not yet.

Mark Nixon@fatbadger442· Jan 2

How about a day of reckoning for the self-ID'd "liberals"/"centrists" who have worked so hard to clear a path for the fascists? Of course, Freedland and the Guardian won't want that. These people never seek a day of reckoning for themselves. #racism #liberals #centrists #appeasers

Headline from comment piece by Jonathan Freedland in the Guardian newspaper, reads From Donald Trump to Benjamin Netanyahu, let 2026 be a year of reckoning. Accompanying photograph is of the author.

Fucking hell, you're right. Vicious. (Note again it's a different byline, so again this is editorial)

Clip from BBC News website, published 12.29 on 11December 2025, reads Ms Peggie was suspended from her job in a Kirkcaldy hospital's A&E department after she complained about Dr Beth Upton - a biological male who identifies as a woman - using a female changing room.

An example from today.

This is either craven appeasement of USAmerican fascism or a clear statement of #EU support for European #fascism. Either way, it reminds us that the EU is not going to save us. #resist

Headline from Guardian live blog, reads 'EU says US still our biggest ally despite release of policy paper supporting Europe's far-right'
