And yet all the usual idiotic centre-right apologists are STILL trying to say he’s honourable for reneging now rather than after he gets elected.

Guess they’ve forgotten all about the pledges he campaigned for the Labour leadership with and then rowed back on once he achieved it eh?

Fucking limp-dick charlatan. Thanks for helping destroy any chance of change by turning the labour party into an endorsement for the corrupt UK establishment, politics and media.

Labour or tory, we’re fucked. Might as well have Donald Jack-off Trump as PM.

DWP apparently expected to prosecute 74,000 and jail 2,500 to when new regs will require top UK banks to monitor claimant’s accounts and inform DWP if someone is suspected of cheating the system.

“Labour has sustained a 20-point poll lead all year, completely confounding Tory hopes of a recovery”

Sustained?? Nothing to do with the tories unfailingly being a clusterfuck’s clusterfuck then? Hardly a tide of approval for the would-be alternative PM either… more like a dribble tbf.

More wishful, pre-wistful pontification from the Guardian/Observer echo-chamber…. where realism is drowned-out by delusion. Yet again.

Get it through your thick skulls, Starmer is nothing more than a knighted plank for the establishment to walk over… just as he’s been telling you he is all along.

If you're wondering why there are so few news stories about the rise of #Mastodon, it's because nobody is getting paid to game the media about it.

There's no publicists, no cozy ad deals, no suits, no coercion: Nobody is getting rich off of Mastodon

... that's also why it's so enlightening and fun to participate here

Gecko,

@Linux_Is_Best @maria Please don’t kid yourself that the BBC is anything but an enforced stealth-tax funded mouthpiece for the basket-case uk tory government.

And before anyone mentions Red Nose Day, know that hosting that is merely asking an already strapped public to pick up the tab for the government’s deliberate and ideological modus operandi of corruption, incompetence and neglect.

The BBC and Daily Fail, keeping turkeys voting for stuffing since 1896..

So there’s nothing wrong with kids going hungry and not being able to breath?

Kid Starver really has defined himself in the last few days hasn’t he?

Seeing eye to eye with the British gutter press and state television = beneath contempt.

Late-stage capitalism? That was last week. Welcome to extinction-stage capitalism.

Gecko,

@aral Welcome to the fire capitalism “lifted” so many out of the frying pan into.

Is Apple Stealing Tech from Smaller Companies?

Smaller rivals say meeting with Apple ended with the tech giant releasing products that resemble their own. Some say Apple used the U.S. patent system to avoid having to pay for using their technology. Apple says it doesn’t steal technology and plays by the rules

Gecko,

@stux Greed has had to get smarter and Apple can afford the smartest law-dodgers.

Bit galling seeing the company that tried to sue another for producing rectangular mobile phones playing fast and loose with other people’s hard work isn’t it?

Such a pity Apple, a company whose products even an anti-capitalist like myself enjoys, feel the need to be so unethical.

4th death in eye drop outbreak; now 81 cases, 14 blinded, and 4 lost eyeballs

Bacteria in the recalled drops are so drug-resistant, docs turn to phage therapy.

I really hope the allegations against South Africa for arming Russia are not true but I have a feeling they are..

South Africa is a little tooo friendly with dictators like Putler and Xi Jinpooh.. 😟

Gecko,

@stux Makes sense. Russians were arming and training SWAPO guerrillas in Angola during apartheid in the late 70s/early 80s.

We know where Kalashnikovs come from…and there are loads in many parts of Africa, including the south west.

Buoyed by local voter reaction to the worst government in British history, #Starmer is now doubling down on writing cheques with his gob that his arse won’t be able to cash.

You’re not “that guy”, sir keir, so pipe down.
