It's a data-driven election (UK).

That's why ORG is launching a new tool so you can opt-out of political parties processing your data.

Using data to predict how people will vote and target messaging can distort the democratic process.

You should have a say.

“Some people might not mind parties processing their data in this manner, but many people are uncomfortable with political parties building profiles about them. ORG’s tool helps the public take back some control over their data.”

🗣️ James Baker, ORG Campaigns Manager.

Good. Labour has finally dropped a case against five former Corbyn-era aides, accused by Starmer and his supporters of leaking hundreds of embarrassing (and in some cases racist) WhatsApp messages from Labour staff hostile to Corbyn.

It's reported to have cost the party an unconscionable £1.5m over the last four years, not to mention the stress to the five accused.

There was never a case: it was pure vindictiveness.

"... it felt a little bit to me like a cross between a political program and a bit of a game show. The "raise your hands" and all that stuff. I just wanted something a bit more serious I think."

Wait, now the Tories work out that you don't win elections by pandering to your own extreme wing? Reform are doing well not because anybody likes them but because the Tories have demonstrated themselves to be so fundamentally unserious about governing that those Tory voters who can't stand Labour have nowhere else to go.

ITV should be ashamed of this debate.

Bad format. Bad moderation. And they put in a football question at the end when they've been rushing the entire programme?

My expectations of Starmer and Sunak were low to begin with and they met those expectations, so meh on that front.

Got to appreciate a leader who's not afraid to go on TV and admit "no one cares about Wales"

Watching ITV live for the first time in ages for the debate.

Adverts are wild! Just the most manipulative nonsense imaginable.

UK faces £33bn hole in finances or return to austerity, thinktank says

https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jun/04/uk-faces-33bn-hole-in-finances-or-return-to-austerity-thinktank-says

So it’s almost official we are stuffed. Obviously living outside our means. Both the ruling parties have told us so.

But only those if means were constrained by selling of public assets overseas, leasing them back at a premium, running down public services to force their privatisation, siphoning monies off to cronies, and…

For gods sake, we allow Corporate interests to drive Labour and Conservative politicians (plus some others) to tell the children they preside over what our means are and what our priorities should be while hiding their own interests.

No feckin wonder they want to slash - that is their profit margins we are talking about.

2019, just a reminder of the violent rhetoric the fascists use and how food products are not comparable to bullets

Daily Mail wailing that Victoria the Milkshake Queen is a "Jeremy Corbyn loving Only Fans model" this giving their readership something to be angry and horny about

@Lazarou@mastodon.social avatar

The classy thing to do as Brit politician getting a milkshake is to laugh it off and not press charges, but of course Nigel won't be letting the lady off for making him look foolish now, that's not how populists work.....

Nigel Farage meets his match. A strawberry I think.

I'm afraid that however satisfying it was to see Nige soaked, it leads to headlines like this.

He's a clown, best to treat him like one or the right will try to make him a martyr.

The Tories are an exceptional toxic set of rats in a corner. It's best not give them the slightest opportunity to paint Labour as crazed terrorists.

Now that the UK has announced a Genital Election, I'm really looking forward to all the political content coming our way.

This isn't even sarcasm. I love a UK election.
