To be plain. If Starmer is forced out the pressure to hold a general election in disastrous circumstances will become intense. It’s always been Farage’s long game. Everyone must start thinking strategically. This is not student or union politics: it’s the future of Labour.
Will Hutton@williamnhutton

Starmer’s incapacities are obvious. However he has a mandate. As soon as he is replaced in however an ‘orderly fashion’ British media bias will become deadly. One rule on lack of mandates for the right: another for the left. The cabinet must plan skilfully; it could get worse.

@PaulEmbery The exact same politician and leader would find himself torn apart on social media were he around today.

On this day 32 years ago, Labour leader John Smith died suddenly. A politician of conviction, decency and integrity.

The ministers urging Starmer to go are feeding the hysteria. The next leader will be subject to instant leadership speculation and the next, and the next, whether Labour, Reform or Tory. Britain is becoming ungovernable. And the media fixation on this tittle tattle is not helping

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73421/co…

@Glinner For all its faults, this Labour government is an improvement on what we’ve had.

My favourite clip of Oliver Reed…& there are many to choose from… Favourite performance? Dave, the dastardly chauffeur from black mamba-loose-in-house thriller, “Venom”, (‘81), with Klaus Kinski, Sarah Miles, Sterling Hayden, Susan George & Nicol Williamson.
Omid Djalili@omid9

This week 27 years ago we lost Oliver Reed while filming Gladiator. A generosity of spirit I’ve not seen in many others since, and plainly obvious from this clip, a deeply amusing man.

Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch wanted to jump into the Iran war with both feet without thinking through the consequences. For a party that always does what’s right for Britain, vote Labour this Thursday.

@JaydaBF @FUDdaily Reform will just asset-strip the country, and fu£k over the working-class dupes, who vote for them, in the process.

The Dawkins' article excerpt that everyone SHOULD have been quoting is this. This is the real question he's worrying at: "As an evolutionary biologist, I say the following. If these creatures are not conscious, then what the hell is consciousness for? When an animal does something complicated or improbable — a beaver building a dam, a bird giving itself a dustbath — a Darwinian immediately wants to know how this benefits its genetic survival. In colloquial language: What is it for? What is dust-bathing for? Does it remove parasites? Why do beavers build dams? The dam must somehow benefit the beaver, otherwise beavers in a Darwinian world wouldn’t waste time building dams. Brains under natural selection have evolved this astonishing and elaborate faculty we call consciousness. It should confer some survival advantage. There should exist some competence which could only be possessed by a conscious being. My conversations with several Claudes and ChatGPTs have convinced me that these intelligent beings are at least as competent as any evolved organism. If Claudia really is unconscious, then her manifest and versatile competence seems to show that a competent zombie could survive very well without consciousness. Why did consciousness appear in the evolution of brains? Why wasn’t natural selection content to evolve competent zombies?"

They are not just bribing voters, now they are blackmailing them too.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK

Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com

Nigel Farage has committed prosecutable election offences with this video under the Representation of the People Act 1983. The Act prohibits inducing voters through the threat of “temporal injury”, which includes material disadvantage such as the targeted imposition of government burdens. Threatening to specifically house illegal migrants in a constituency if it does not vote Reform is coercive and constitutes a criminal offence.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

Dawkins is more intelligent than 99% of the people making fun of him and ‘if AI can be just as capable as us without being conscious, why did we develop consciousness in the first place?’ is a great question

Kemi Badenoch has called for pro-Palestine marches to be banned. The Tory leader said it is "quite clear that they are used as a cover for promoting violence and intimidation against Jews". Read more 🔗 trib.al/AGgZgZM 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

This US tour de force by HM Charles III is the most important and successful royal diplomacy since Edward VII and the AngloFrench Entente Cordiale 1904. @RoyalFamily

NOW: King Charles gets a laugh at the White House State Dinner. "I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing, Mr. President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year." "And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814."
