You might ask “where is the British Mamdani” and the brutal truth is that the US press - as bad as it is - gives left wing politicians time and space to talk about their ideas. A British Mamdani gets swiftly kicked to death on camera in an avalanche of all-channels screaming hate.

Meta is taking down the accounts of gay bars while not just allowing but RESTORING this type of material
As we reported the story, Meta eventually pulled down an account we shared with it that had uploaded a particularly disturbing array of AI videos that depicted children being viciously beaten and forced to eat trash, as well as many more appalling scenarios including a young girl being locked in a freezer by a kidnapper.

But after we published our piece, we were surprised to see that the account had been reinstated, along with its sickening cache of videos. We reached out to Meta to ask why the account was live again and received a curt response from a spokesperson.

Palantir is owned by a racist who believes that democracy should be abolished in favour of CEO rule. Watson is an avaristic toad who threw Corbyn under the bus for supporting Palestine & unveiling a mural. He picks his morals by drawing random cards. There’s not a consistent thing about the man.

The Green vote has gone up by 3.5% on the combined Green/Andrew Feinstein vote of 2024. The Labour vote is down 3.7% . This is in the Burnham bounce and +during intense media focus on Polanski. Will Burnham's Labour get more popular ? Or will Polanski's Greens get much less popular? Nothing is fixed

When Reform come in second, the mainstream press treat them as a shoo-in for the next general election, to be pandered to immediately. When the Greens come in second, the press treat them as unelectable no-hopers. Strange.

Worth contrasting with the 2024 result where Starmer got double the left wing vote. GPEW have done a phenomenal job closing the gap.
A table of results for the Holborn and St Pancras constituency in 2024.

It's also a case of power imbalance. This is a pretty clear case where Palestinian activists don't have institutional power to apply soft pressure, they can only be loud and in your face, so they are. Like, do you want them to let off while still getting cleansed? (See quote for smarter version).

There is a rather wider minority for abolishing the Monarchy (about 1 in 5 to 1 in 4) than for the controversy of whether only white people can be English (1 in 10). It is weird the media classes are so rarely across how niche this 'controversy' is - about 1/4 Reform voters, but few others

Also, the most consequential, astonishing revelation 2016-26 is that the centre-left and the centre-right are largely the same thing; they’re all fully onboard with the manifesto of the National Front in the 70s regarding migration and racism, and they’re all roaring authoritarian wackos re: protest

This is, of course, simply a rhetorical play act. Suppose that people do "condemn" all these people? Well, you didn't do it enough. Did you contextualise anything? Stop that. Be more unequivocal. Now hop on one leg. I found someone not condemning them - do you condemn them too?

Graphic from Maggie Chapman MSP highlighting her Scottish Parliament motion in solidarity with Wood Group offshore workers taking strike action. The motion recognises the role of trade unions in defending workers’ jobs, pay and conditions, references concerns over proposed changes including fire and rehire, and expresses solidarity with the striking workers and their unions.

The political challenge of my adulthood is that, every 7-8 years, something takes a sledgehammer to one of the pillars of the postwar consensus and roughly doubles the ambient apathy / despair / solipsism of a system that requires true believers to operate.

Sorry, what are we doing here. Why are we pretending that 'two states' is a viable option, that 'we just gotta do more sanctions and they'll get the message' is a viable strategy for achieving it, and that the standard, liberal Israeli position is currently still mass expulsion of the Palestinians?
