Two-fifths of Keir Starmer’s cabinet have been funded by pro-Israel lobbyists
As Labour refuses to join calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, Declassified reveals the extent to which the shadow cabinet, including Starmer himself, has been financed by a pro-Israel lobby group and an individual funder.

dont think this is exactly breaking news, something that is kind of presumed but still worth a quick read atm
Yup, utter failing at every level. Not to go all conspiracy/survival nut, but its an important reminded when shit hits the fan, we're all on our own.
Can't stand Hancock. Two faced weasel. Just seeing him in I Am A Celeb or SAS show, you can instantly tell he is lying and manipulative in how he answers and projects himself to weasel in or out. It's really quite disturbing and obvious.
Like seriously and it worked though, that's what really disgusts me. A lot of the public liked him and like you say it was so obvious. And it's even more obvious what he is now because he's trying to get immunity.
I wouldn't be surprised if these politicians get training in lying it's so consistent in the way they do it.

Senior civil servants also a pile of wank.
Also, fuck Peston.
So good to have the adults back in charge.
EDIT: There's something about the phrasing of "the worst terrorist attack on Israel since the Holocaust" that feels like it's really undermining the Holocaust.
Of course Israel didn't exist at the time of the Holocaust, and using Israel and Jews interchangeably is explicitly antisemitc as per the IHRA, so I assume the EHRC will be investigating.
Yeah it's fucked thing to say. "The worst ever terrorist attack on Israel" would be accurate.
It's okay Keir, you can say protect innocent people and you won't get called Corbyn or just say we follow the US and until they say otherwise, we can't say anything because it would make the UK look like a non player in the world 😱
My concern about this total capitulation to Israel and America (which is really what this about) makes me extremely concerned that he will never stand up to the United States to protect Britain's reputation and/or a humanitarian position (you may ask WHAT REPUTATION but you get what I mean). At least Blair had a few good international wins before he tanked it all with Bush but we wont even get that with Starmer.
Any regular here knows my leaning on Labour but flippantly brushing aside human rights is just becoming a pattern of behaviour for him and i havenlt seen much recently to assuage me.

I fully expect the police to use their Minority Report powers for this.

Rishi Sunak says there is a risk war memorials such as the Cenotaph in London could be "desecrated".

Absolutely. They used the totalitarian section 7 to arrest over 60 people just a few days ago.
Met uses new anti-protest powers to arrest climate protesters for first time
Force makes first use of section 7 of Public Order Act to curtail slow march protest outside parliament

And Starmer's utter moral cowardice somehow continues to surprise me. There is no bottom.
"I support the government but I encourage them to go further by having special community officers live in everyone's house."
It was when he supported the spycops and war crimes bills that did it for me.

Oh well, if Twitter wasn't such a dumpster fire I would go to the poppy watch account for a good laugh.
That account's been having a time since they pointed out poppy is a national flower of Palestine.
It's not the first time I've heard that from a right winger. Someone said it to me in person once and my fucking head just about exploded.
Still, I guess if it's a lifestyle choice then they don't need to feel guilty that homeless people might be suffering due to their actions / inactions.
Read that quote this morning and it blew my mind.
Like any sane person would chose to live in a tent over a house/flat that was safe for them.
Absolutely horrendous shit to suggest it's a lifestyle choice to be homeless.
"There's alternatives."
"Like?"
"There are alternatives."
"Name the alternatives and how a person could access them."

"Are you even funding them."

No major party is "good", but don't ever tell me they're almost the same

Well if you were cynical you could say they are replicating the American right because they believe it will get them votes, but in the case of Braverman I think the truly disgusting thing is she believes in this shit - she isn't saying this just to get votes, she is saying it because that what she wants.
In her case, absolutely. She believes in this shit and it is terrifying.
Also it just hit me that Braverman's comments are almost word for word the lines of a literal fascist government from Babylon 5.

Funny definition:
The only thing that I can think of that unambiguously meets that criteria is the Conservatives under Boris Johnson illegally proroguing parliament to try and avoid parliamentary scrutiny of his Brexit deal. Are the Conservatives an extremist group by their own definition?
Also I really don't understand the Tories wanting to go hard against any sort of dissent against the government during this, the dying embers of their time in power. It's almost like they've forgot that being in opposition means they will no longer be the ones dictating the governmental agenda, and any ham-fisted laws they introduce with the aim of suppressing free speech are more likely to be used against them and their supporters.

'Get Ready For Fascism' needs to have a part 2
I think they, by which I mean the hard fascistic right that now controls the Tory party, want to shape the country into their own image in as permanent a manner as they can manage.
The best way they can do that now, given that their party is likely to lose nominal control in the next election, is to pass as much fascistic legislation as they can before that time, under the assumption that an incoming labour government will not undo it in any meaningful way.
I think they are probably right about that last part, and can count on the moral cowardice of the current opposition to leave them these powers to use when they crawl back into control in however many years.
I don't want to be right about any of this.

I think it's completely wrong to say that labour are suffering from "moral cowardice". They are every bit as nasty and authoritarian as the Tories are, and always have been. They aren't not opposing any of the awful shit the Tories are doing because it's the right strategy for winning an election, they're not opposing it because they agree with it all. Of course they won't repeal any of it because they're very happy for it all to be happening in the first place.
Rachel Reeves: I was influenced by Margaret Thatcher
The Labour politician and shadow chancellor of the exchequer said it would be ‘foolish not to recognise’ Thatcher’s influence on a generation of women
www.independent.co.uk
I guess publicly idolising George Osborne made her look like too much of a lefty, so she's professing her love for Thatcher now.
It's a fair enough opinion, spot a woman during her time in politics and woman generally getting positions of power, could argue either way I suppose if she opened the door and gave people confidence etc. or just times changed but she was very much outlier regardless of what you think she was like.
Anyway, so the Tories have more sex pests and rapists, cover ups. Hope the media get their teeth into that, the rape one sounds significantly bad since they paid support for one of them and the accused possibly did it to others which they ignored.

I think the purpose of the article was to pander to old voters "THe goOd ol'dAys". That said, I wouldn't consider Thatcher being a feminist icon lol. One could admire how she got into power but her time in power, that's something else entirely.
The sheer number of tory MPs coming out as rapists/sex pests
What's even more ridiculous is how the country is so desensitised by the scandals, it's just to be expected now.

It's a pretty wild story, should be party destroying. I'll say it again but how the fuck is the UK some anomaly of justice of the higher ups, it's a fix. At least in other countries the authorities actually knock doors down and arrest people, here it's ignored except that one time in Scotland mind with the SNP recently. You can do pretty much anything and it gets brushed under the carpet. Are they sending interpol to arrest Michelle Mone or was it just government stamped corruption so no harm no foul, as long as the corruption is in the rules and accountability is just maybe losing your seat or pissing off for a few weeks. Sham.

That's always been the problem. You can't nail the tories on sleaze because everyone knows and expects them to be sleazy. Covid cut through because it was something we all went through, but a Tory sex pest is a take as old as time.
