This account exists for Eurovision week. Otherwise, it barely gets any use. Occasionally K-pop, long train journeys and politics get features.

Word of the Day: CRINGISSIMO (Italian, slang) — extremely cringeworthy.

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

Scottish pro-Palestine activist arrested 'for reading poem threateningly' [I think it was my poem. Perhaps I'm going to get arrested for having written it?]

In a few days time, this man will become Prime Minister.

But did you know that on the SAME day as his by-election victory, Andy Burnham registered £27,000 in “mayoral campaigning donations”.

Here’s who is funding the PM-in-waiting:����

I miss when "The News" was just a guy in a suit telling you what happened, instead of a 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbor so you don't notice your rent went up 30%.

I never cease to be impressed by the lengths to which The Labour Party will go to airbrush Jeremy Corbyn from history. I’m at the Durham Miners Gala this afternoon and the Labour marquee is a thing to behold. The backdrop is an impressive photographic collage of Labour leaders and politicians who have spoken at the Gala over the years: Harold Wilson, Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner, Nye Bevan, Michael Foot, Clement Attlee, Angela Rayner and ….wait for it…..Emily Thornberry. Yes, the same Emily Thornberry who supported Starmer when he said that Israel was justified in withholding food, water and electricity from the Palestinian people in Gaza after October 7th. When I asked why Jeremy Corbyn wasn’t featured I got a sarcastic reply that totally ridiculed my question. I did tell the lady that dismissed my question that the inclusion of Thornberry in that company was a ‘disgrace’. Corbyn spoke at the Gala four times as Labour leader: 2016 to 2019 and again last year. Corbyn also spoke at the Gala on many previous occasions after becoming a Labour MP in 1983.

“Israel Says” is not journalism.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🇬🇧 British journalists reporting from countries such as Iran could face “terrorism” prosecutions under a UK national security bill expected to complete its final stages in Parliament this week, according to legal experts cited by The Guardian.

Expert David Anderson warned the legislation could criminalize foreign correspondents for obtaining information from sources within state-designated groups because it lacks explicit protections for journalists.

Press freedom groups are urging ministers to amend the bill, but the Home Office insists legitimate journalism is protected and that claims to the contrary are false.

New Labour is rushing its new National Security State Threats bill through parliament in just one day.

It will be illegal to publish TRUE casualty information from Iran, from Hamas run hospitals in Gaza, or IDF assault details from the resistance in Lebanon.

14 years in jail.

What I don’t understand is; how can these people be SO wrong, SO often, over a period (in her case) of Half a Century and no one ever takes them aside and tells them? Instead, they just keep paying her vast sums to carry on being wrong.

It’s insane!

This is a transcript of the parliamentary debate about the petition on ‘Israeli influence in UK politics’ that took place yesterday (22 June). There has been no media reporting of it anywhere that I can find.

This is how you protest. Not with cutest signs, not with cringey chants. Not with stupid hats. You roll up your sleeves and fuck some shit up.

I never thought in 2026, that i’d be rooting for Albania and Iran. But here we are.

Another journalist asked for my thoughts on the impending Labour leadership explosion. So I said this. #Makerfield

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

This morning @bbclaurak show had Paul Ovenden as a guest

He LIED by saying that Starmer took over a Labour Party "infected with antisemitism". This was not true. It WAS true that many Labour members were expelled for speaking up for Palestinian rights, including many Jewish members

Kuenssberg did not make any objection to Ovenden's lies

Ovenden had to resign in 2025 for vile, racist text messages about Diane Abbott

Unsurprisingly this was not mentioned

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

The BBC has spent nearly three years trying to cover up a genocide, and then they act shocked when nobody believes in them anymore.

[Joe☭🔻 @ScottishCommie]

After watching you lot whitewash a genocide for almost 3 years its no wonder.

[Chuck a Milkshake @chuckamilkshake]

@arthistorynews 5. In that respect, perhaps it's actually the news and politics shows that need restructuring/rescheduling, and to be made a lower priority? Personnel is clearly one side of this coin, but an overbearing top-down approach is probably the other side.

[Chuck a Milkshake @chuckamilkshake]

@arthistorynews 4. and then for the TV execs and news reporters to gurn at each other over why the 16-35s aren't doing ABC, or why they're finding it so difficult to get their lives on track, combines to stunt our age group's level of engagement with the Beeb.
