The same people who defend the likes of Russell Brand, the Tates and
Conor McGregor would be calling for the death penalty to be brought back if they had a different skin tone, regardless of the verdict.
I’m so ashamed of this country. I harbour so much resentment for @Keir_Starmer. And I’m so embarrassed for @andyburnham. Lift the proscription on Palestine Action & stop lying about genocide, Israel & terrorism. Solidarity to Sally Rooney.
One from the archives
Sally Rooney in 2024: ".. we are witnessing an unfolding genocide.. the roots of this particular tragedy are in the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine & the apartheid system.. keep protesting.. it is the least that we can do"
Lord Foulkes asked the two questions the Palace hates: are we getting value for nearly £100 million a year, and do their actions match the values they preach?
The answer to both is no. Private jets and helicopters for short trips while talking climate.
Multiple empty homes while campaigning on homelessness.
Ribbon-cutting dressed up as “working royals.”
We fund the most expensive monarchy in Europe.
The media will bury this because access depends on not rocking the boat too hard.
The Palace perfected the subtle version of what people criticise Trump for doing openly.
Amplify it before it disappears. #AbolishTheMonarchy
More proof of the complete absurdity of the proscription of Palestine Action.
What a stain on this government that people in this country are unable to buy and enjoy the work of one of this generation’s greatest writing talents.
De-proscribe Palestine Action now.
Government opens can of worms at TVCA
Report in @FinancialTimes this evening that statutory investigation into Tees Valley Combined Authority is to be launched by government. Angela Rayner will be announcing it tomorrow.
OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now.
It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people!
Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem...

Somehow the press didn't think it was in the public interest to report on an Oxford academic who was, at that point, as far as they were concerned, also Michael Gove's girlfriend, being charged with possessing indecent images of children 🤷♀️

Lord Foulkes just said the quiet part in the Lords: “working royal” was invented to con the public.
Cutting ribbons and waving is not a job. Teachers, nurses, binmen do real work. You’re funding a multi-home, private-jet aristocracy to the tune of £100m a year so they can perform for the cameras.
Most expensive monarchy in Europe by a mile and the media still treats it like a national religion instead of an expensive costume drama.
Stop the grant. #AbolishTheMonarchy
I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
"It was kinda like a little in-joke, a private bet - I wonder could we get, just for the mischief, an Irish rebel song on primetime BBC One and we managed to do that. Hahahaha. In fact, we got two Irish rebel songs in!"

Remember how 3 months ago, in August the editor in Chief of the Spectator, in a very solemn tone waxed on about Professor Arday & Cambridge's culpability in his alleged misdoings? Funny that 4 months before, his own Oxford academic girlfriend had been charged with possessing CSAM
Quick update on our Subject Access request around whether Michael Gove facilitated a full Parliament Pass for his ex-Girlfriend Lola Salem.
They have request a copy of Identification, some people have suggested this isn't usual.
This has now been sent.
We want the truth.
This is where we're at. Children of volunteer RNLI crew members are now being bullied at school simply because of their parents' roles. Meanwhile, crew members are being cornered in local pubs, cornor shops and called "traitors" and "cowards" to their faces.
I blame people like Nigel Farage and the right-wing media for helping to fuel this.
RIP Metallica (1981-1988) idk who this band is that's in the news now but the souls clearly left the human hosts after they got all the anger of Cliff's death out of their system on AJFA. Never forget what Metallica always was: Cliff and his less talented white bread bandmates.
