https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/tory-police-commissioner-blasted-saying-33391927? A police commissioner for Hampshire in England is more sympathetic to the far-right rioters currently burning and looting towns and cities across the UK than the victims of the disorder.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jqjqxl3dyo Far-right riots have affected Stoke, Liverpool, Bristol, Hull, Manchester, Blackpool and Belfast.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/southport-far-right-protests-police-b2590232.html (alternative link) Britain’s erupting in far-right riots, in part because of jive-stirring by a certain MP.

That Vance guy... Had never heard of him before. The brief footage I've seen online, he comes across as Generic Alt-Right Weirdo, to be honest.

Remember two decades ago, when we (on both sides of the Atlantic) were warned about certain ethnic groups all being potential terrorists scheming to overthrow western civilisation? Imagine if any members of those ethnicities had openly called for violent revolution while holding an elected...

Getting vibes of when the Tories eased out various prime ministers during their last term of office, how it gets stirred up in the media for several weeks beforehand. Then suddenly happens. Feels very similar. From this side of the pond, anyway. (Also reminds me of Labour’s last time in...

Every time I see Trump with that wound dressing stuck to the side of his head, I think of Starscream as drawn by Jose Delbo…

We’ve already had Farage and various Tories on our news media earlier today ranting about “left wing extremism”. Whenever America sneezes, we catch a cold…

Yes, it is revolting. Unfortunately, not surprising. It was obvious that Labour were going to go down that path while they were in opposition. The LibDems are currently the only UK wide party with MPs that really supports the rights of trans people, Labour and Greens having Terf elements, and...

Now he’s a minister, he’s banning elements of trans healthcare. He’s a “gender critical” as well. Labour are at least as transphobic as the Tories were in power. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/07/12/wes-streeting-puberty-blockers/

Oh my word, this is how Trump wins. It’s inevitable now. Every western democratic nation and their allies should already be preparing for a second Trump presidency if they have any sense.

https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jul/08/labour-lifts-ban-onshore-windfarms-planning-policy Still have strong doubts about the new government, but they’ve at least quickly overturned the previous Tory government’s nine year ban on building windfarms. Anything that helps...

Under a parliamentary republic or semi-presidential republic, the speaker and president would still be separate individuals. You’d just have a prime minister – or whatever you decided to call the position – as well. (Come to think of it, isn’t the House Speaker in the US system a bit like the...

Exit polls for the French parliamentary election have the left-wing New Popular Front first, Macron’s centre-right Ensemble bloc second, and the far-right National Rally third place. The Fash didn’t win!

He got in again in the end. Guess name recognition and local popularity helped.

The seat where I live. Went non-Tory for the first time ever since 1922. A few years ago I’d never have believed we would have any Labour MPs in this part of England.

Results with 2 seats to go. Labour won, the Tories were crushed (but not near-extinct, as some polling estimated), the SNP lost most of their seats, the Greens got more than one seat for the first time, and the LibDems got the highest Liberal seat count since 1923. Unfortunately, the far-right...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/05/former-tory-prime-minister-liz-truss-loses-her-seat-to-labour Good riddance!

BBC exit poll. Labour underperforming compared to opinion polls, Tories getting 3-figures, the Fash actually getting ******* seats, the SNP losing most of their MPs.
