We Need To Take Trump’s Rhetoric Seriously, But Not Literally vs. Have That Guy Killed
Almost every day, the establishment seems to get it wrong trying to use Donald Trump’s words to paint him as a dire threat to our democracy. What so many fail to see—and what his supporters have long ...

Hegemony is the water that we swim in. It's society's moral and cultural scaffolding. It's the "common sense" that sets the terms of the debate. It allows a class to govern without extreme violence because its ideas are accepted by the majority, even if they don't realize it.

The working class people in these old BBC documentaries always come across as clever and thoughtful individuals, whereas the ones the BBC interviews these days for their vox pops always seem to be complete morons. Either the whole country has become stupid or the BBC is misleading us.

‘Fish and Ships in North East England’, a fascinating documentary of a lost world in North Shields and Cullercoats just before Thatcher took a sledgehammer to it all.

This undersells it, if anything. It is a titanic battle against evil itself that will reverberate in eternity around the universe, and progressives who work for *the fucking Daily Mail* must 100% agree to vote Labour, or be hounded through the streets as scum Nazi hate monsters.

If there’s something weird, it’s that public figures face no negative career consequences for speaking in favour of an actual genocide. That’s crazy stuff! Imagine if most of parliament and the press had been right behind Slobodan Milosevic, because they think Bosnians are more like orcs than humans

It’s starting to feel like @heatonstan.bsky.social are living in a permanent Halloween nightmare what with the injury list being longer than a very long thing. Then we had to visit Blyth Spartans in so much fog it was difficult to find the ground let alone watch the game. Anyway, some shots

A metaphor I will continue to flog is British politics is now little more than a customer complaints department for capitalism. On the rare occasions any of the complaints are sent upstairs to management, most of them go in the bin.

As I said early on about Keir Starmer: a British politician’s job is not to represent your interests to e.g. the private water company. His job is to come *to you*, look suitably biscuit-arsed, and then explain that sadly nothing can be done. And usually retire to a plush private sector gig.
Watson won't be alone. He will join more than 30 former UK officials at a company that Peter Mandelson's former lobbying firm, Global Counsel, counted as a client. Mandelson accompanied Keir Starmer to Palantir's Washington office in 2025, while still retaining a stake in Global Counsel. The MoD has since signed a major partnership with Palantir. And none of this will have broken a single law. The rules on jobs for former ministers last only two years and have no legal force. Therein lies the problem. Whether it's Tony Blair and his relationship with Oracle, Mandelson and Global Counsel or Nick Clegg and his time at Meta, the section of the political class meant to oppose vested interests and promote public service appears to have switched sides. According to the Institute for Public Policy Research's latest findings, the main political arties, including Labour and the Libera Democrats, have been accepting donations from wealthy individuals at an accelerating According to the Institute for Public Policy Research's latest findings, the main political parties, including Labour and the Liberal Democrats, have been accepting donations from wealthy individuals at an accelerating pace. The research found 72% of all £1m-plus donations from individuals since records began in 2001 had come since 2019. Sadly, none of this can be described as an aberration. Rather, it's how the system increasingly works. Now politicians' proximity to wealth and the "elites" who own it has fostered a growing public mistrust. One need only listen to Danny Dyer at a rally last week, calling for public ownership of water, to get a feel for that sentiment. These examples are all symptoms of the growing proximity between political power and the wealth it is supposed to hold to account.

John Ternus kicked off his tenure as Apple CEO by announcing the long-awaited folding iPhone.

But behind the scenes, it looks like products and services are going to get more expensive to please shareholders and he’s ready to sacrifice privacy on the altar of AI.
