The #UKLabour party have become a deeply sleazy and unethical organisation. No wonder #Mandelson felt so at home there.

Two of the three nations in the United Kingdom are having General Elections the week after next, and the #Westminster village describes it as 'the locals'.
Sigh.

Is there a word to describe the sense of... disappointment when someone you mentored, someone whose wedding you attended, and someone you're published with - but not spoken to in years - is in the news because of a massive donation to Reform UK?
Sigh.

Content warning: UKPol Palestine Action Ban Found Unlawful
Palestine Action have never been a terrorist group, have never tried to terrorize the British public. The attempt to classify them as one was unjust, authoritarian, and motivated by support for a foreign state committing war crimes.
I'm mostly just surprised that judges appointed by the British state operating in secret agree. Usually they back the corrupt British state entirely.
Yvette Cooper should be resigning in disgrace, suspected of treachery. Every MP and Lord that waved the proscription through through should be ashamed and probably also fired.

Zack's right of course. Labour only really look incoherent if you assume they are trying to do good for the country or win elections for themselves.
If you assume they have been bought and paid for by the oil, gas, arms-trade, private health-care and gambling industry and don't care if they're unpopular just want to do what they've been paid to do they look perfectly coherent.
Labour bar their best candidate, Reform run some knob head off of GBNews, and the Greens run a great working class candidate from the local area who can speak her mind well and explain the way the rest of politics, including Reform, is run by billionaires.

Content warning: UKPol Starmer Epstine
Starmer's speech is full of regret, so sorry that he believed the lies of Mandelson.
Now we are expected to trust the judgement of a man who believed the lies of a person known as the Prince Of Darkness in order to appoint him as ambassador to America, precisely because of his relationship with the Epstein and Trump circle.
If not for his relationship with those fuckers, why make him ambassador?
What did he have over the existing ambassador other than his relationship with the whole Epstein crowd?
Nothing.
He was chosen for that position by Starmer exactly because of that relationship which Starmer now pleads he didn't know about as he was fooled by the lies of the dark prince.
Nope. I don't buy it. Starmer can still fuck off.

Content warning: UKPol power/war
One of the best things about Brexit is how we left a power-block in which we had a veto and a vote and a large soft power reputation and a real say in it's policy and outcomes.
And now, instead, we have to do whatever the mad king in America wants. Bomb whoever he wants. Let him store his weapons and his bombs here. Fly his airplanes on our runways. Pay whatever tariff on trade he demands, accept his hormone ridden meat and unsanitary chicken processes.
And we have less say in it all than Puerto Rico, much less than any actual full blown state.
We ceded control of the EU to Germany, just abandoned any say in what happens there for no reason at all, and are left begging treats from a powerful clown's table like a yapping little toy dog.
The final step down the power-escalator, from empire to now less say in world affairs than Austria or Finland which at least have EU voting rights and members in the EU parliament.
Now just airport 1, a runway which the US uses as it pleases and no say in anything.
What a move from England, absolute masterclass of dim witted self destructive spite. Couldn't hope for a better example. Textbook. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
