Given Kuenssberg's gob full of Reform lately, this is a seismic shift to the left

I would argue your ancestors, alongside those already living there, paid the highest price for the lowest reward. I try to work with capitalism, cos it's how it is, but I can't shake the feeling it's nowt but a thousand year grift to conserve what works for those that already have.

It's elite level dog whistle politics: Take a non-issue, boil all of its complexity & nuance down to 2 ingredients, allow to harden, shove it up the ol' blowhole & squeeze. Ignore her. Look for the money, if you really want to understand this. Conservatives conserve, is all.

*There's an outlying right-leaning poll by i24 suggesting a recent burst in support amongst Palestinians.

✂ 1m 53s clip open.spotify.com/clip/3hECFil... There is falling support in both populations* for one of the myriad two-state solutions. Not surprising I suppose. It's obviously a deeply sticky mess, and motions like 'Zionism=racism' are MAGA level divisive & need to fuck off to the same naughty step

Can't disagree except perhaps on how we're defining religion. What did the communal motivation to wallop Stonehenge up, actually look like? Was the 'leader' or organiser a religious figure, a slave owner, or was it simply happy adult den building? The most interesting bit is we'll never know ❤️

Glad you're back. It might seem like screaming into the silence, shouting at friends if you will, but I for one value your posts. Doesn't harm to keep walking the walk, pilgrim 🙂

If VAR has taught us anything, it's that human error seems inevitable in football officiating. It's an extra tier of pointless interference. Might as well sack it off and force old referees to go back to teaching or buying pubs when they retire.

I'm a Sunderland fan and was beguiled in my teens by Queen of the South, for no other reason than their name. I'm not gay, don't know where they are geographically, or anything else about them. Except they drew yesterday. "Gan on the Queens"? 😬

The great replacement theory writ large. They may not be academically fascist, but it won't be long and I'm tired of being careful about using the term. They're fascists. Divisive, ugly and dangerous. I try to avoid hating if I can, but these pissflaps deserve every ounce of hate I can muster.

Mark @markyarn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Exactly this. Fascists picking on minority targets is the pattern. Trans, Muslims, Welfare claimants. All are groups whose percentage of the population is minimal compared to the level of outrage aimed at them by these swivel-eyed pissflaps.

I have no beef with any of these places wanting their independence, but I worry it's more of the nationalism and division that has poisoned western politics recently. We are a social species that has thrived because we work with each other. From the village family to the EU, we are better together.

The dementia angle aside, developmentally and emotionally speaking, he's probably right.

Well, that was the public statement but don't underestimate the power of an Irish turn of phrase. They're a nation of oral storytellers, with a wicked way of politely disemboweling the deserving.

Statement from Irish President Catherine Connolly. Ireland, a country that suffered through colonialism and genocide at the hands the English, apparently, has little patience for Donald Trump's embrace of both colonialism and genocide. And President Connolly told him straight to his orange face.

He can flounce around all he wants with a coterie of sycophants & a picture in his mind of who he is, but the world is full of people with the wisdom of ages behind them. Trump is see-through. A flimsy puppet and he will soon be gone. His legacy won't ofc, but chaos & order are a pendulum swing ✌️

I don't know you or your experiences & I mean no disrespect, but I think your broad-brush framing of this as 'white people' is unhelpful. Racism and bigotry of ANY kind is abhorrent and the current situation is too dangerous to ignore the nuances. It's playing the bigots' game by their rules.

Neoliberals have neutered direct state investment in infrastructure. Everything is privatised, state guarantees profits. UK languishes at or near the bottom of the OECD league for investment in productive assets. China invests over 41% of its GDP in productive assets, India 34.3%, UK 17.9%.
