“As the May 2026 local elections draw near, the Labour party’s fear of the Greens is written as clearly in its campaign as Keir Starmer’s brylcreemed vacuity. Just like its utter lack of substance, ideas, and integrity. And wow, did it show in the abject failure of its naked attempt to smear the Green party in a dire new video”

“Starmer is an overflowing political diaper that desperately needs changing”

“May I remind you, the man was elected on a platform of change — bold, principled, transformative change. Instead, we’ve got the same old rotten stench wafting from Downing Street: broken pledges on nationalising energy, U-turns on workers’ rights, grovelling to billionaires while the poor queue at food banks, and a foreign policy that makes Tony #Blair look like a fucking pacifist”

“Starmer's go-to excuse: 'I was in the dark'. Don't believe it. He's deeply in the loop”

by Jonathan Cook on Substack

“From Jimmy #Savile to Peter #Mandelson, Starmer has followed a trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance. He knows far more than he lets on. It's the reason, after all, why he was knighted.

[..]

“This is one long trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance and incompetence. Does any of it sound even vaguely plausible?”

“Journalist publishes full interview with suspended Labour MP”

“On 31 March, we reported that Labour had suspended Karl Turner. Turner had criticised Labour’s plan to abolish jury trials as a universal right; he’d also given an interview to independent journalist and Canary contributor Jody McIntyre.

Following his suspension, Turner tried to distance himself from McIntyre. Now, McIntyre has set the record straight”

Rund 129.000 wohnungslose #Kinder lebten Anfang 2024 in Notunterkünften, Sammelunterkünften oder ähnlichen Einrichtungen

Etwa 6.600 Kinder und Jugendliche lebten »verdeckt« bei Bekannten oder Verwandten, ohne eigene Wohnung zu haben

Ungefähr 2.050 Minderjährige waren vollständig #obdachlos was bedeutet, dass sie komplett ohne reguläre Unterkunft waren.

2,2 Millionen armutsbetroffene Kinder leben in Deutschland.

2.200.000

Als würdest du durch Wien spazieren und alle Einwohner*innen, die dir begegnen, sind Kinder.

“Rich right-wingers are calling for DWP [Department for Work and Pensions] cuts in order to pay for defence”

by Hannah Sharland in The Canary

@ZackPolanski

“Right-wing warhawks have been doubling down on calls to slash Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare to fund imperialistic warmongering against Iran.

Naturally, it’s the usual suspects spearheading the charge, namely opaquely-funded think tanks, the billionaire press, and of course, their co-conspirators in parliament.

And once again, these rich colonial capitalist assholes all want to make poor and disabled people cannon fodder for their illegal invasions.”
