  1. Facial Recognition is spiralling out of control in the UK and there are no clear laws in place to protect our privacy

    Stop scanning us all with facial recognition Unlike CCTV, facial recognition doesn’t just record what you do, your face becomes a barcode in the same way as your fingerprint or your DNA. We must stop this. The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, recently revealed her chilling vision of building a “panopticon” where “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.” Your passport photo is now being searched by police facial recognition systems, even if you have done nothing wrong […]

  5. “Britain’s new, unelected Zionist prime minister authorises the use of British bases in the United States’ illegal war on Iran”

    “On his first full day as Prime Minister, Burnham quietly approved the continued use of British military bases by the United States for military operations against Iran. Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. That is, British soil, British bases and British complicity once again handed over to a war machine that has, in the course of this conflict alone: bombed a girls’ school and killed hundreds of children and just last week struck a hospital for children with cancer”

  7. CW: UK Politics

    Seriously disappointed that Burnham has allowed "the Labour MP most likely to defect to Reform UK" to stay on as Home Secretary. I guess he's going to carry on with Starmer's anti-immigrant hate.

    What a wasted opportunity to do things differently. I know he has to follow the 2024 manifesto, but I don't remember the bit in that manifesto where he said "we will constantly whip up hate against foreigners and do our best to out-Reform Reform".

  9. The UK news media frets over #AndyBurnham's choice of #Chancellor. Mostly #Miliband & #Mahmood, but also #Cooper & #Streeting.

    #Burnham should reject all 4 big beasts.

    They are dangerous. Too much clout. Not controllable.

    Andy needs a weak chancellor, to weaken the Treasury as power shifts north. Like #JackChambers, who Micheál Martin appointed aged 33 as Ireland's Finance Minister. Energetic, disciplined, competent, & weak.

    If you've heard of the new Chancellor, it's a bad choice.

    #Mahmood: She's basically a #Fascist
    #Streeting: He's a wholly-owned subsidiary of the US 'healthcare' industry.

    There are plenty of others who are objectionable, too, but those two are the worst.

  13. ‘Bizarre choice’: business and Labour puzzle over Shabana #Mahmood as future chancellor - theguardian.com/politics/2026/ this would be a terrible mistake, and would taint his PMship immediately...

  15. Appointing someone with no academic knowledge of the subject in hand, no history of even commenting on economic and fiscal policy does absolutely nothing to advance the progress of women of colour in this country…it does the exact opposite.

    Which is again, why I fear #Mahmood ‘s appointment as Chancellor will be a disaster for most people in the UK.

    We have to ask, who is it who either sees her as malleable and compliant or who has an interest in seeing her fail?

    ‘#Burnham will make the case that the UK requires a “new path to the one we’ve been on for the last 40 years”.

    The new leader will promise an “authentically #Labour” programme of economic renewal, more public control, reindustrialisation and power back in the hands of local communities’

  19. Presumably #Burnham knows that by picking Mahmood for Chancellor he’s kissed goodbye to getting back traditional #Labour voters who have recently turned #Green before he’s even got the keys to Number 10?

    #Mahmood is #LabourTogether , she is against democratic protest , there is no evidence she gets the scale of the climate crisis or realises that inequality is tearing this country apart.

    This does not bode well for anyone.

Yet more narrow-minded, #racist, #xenophobic #HomeOffice stupidity, for which that #ReformUK entryist into the #LabourParty, Shabana #Mahmood, is PERSONALLY responsible!

  23. “This is the free and democratic West they are so proud of. A country where supporting a foreign military defending itself from imperialism carries a fourteen-year sentence, provided it is the wrong foreign military. A country where thousands are arrested for holding signs while war criminals are welcomed with open arms. A country where the government uses counter-terrorism law to police political opinion while the justice system collapses under the weight of its own authoritarian overreach. They are not trying to protect the British people and they never were. They are trying to protect the Empire, and to make it as costly and frightening as possible to say so out loud.”

    “The UK Government Has Become a Security Threat to Its Own People”

    by Nouri in Manufactuting Dissent on Substack

    @uk_politics

    “This [UK Labour] government has stopped pretending it serves the British public. It serves foreign interests first, and it expects everyone else to swallow it quietly. The IRGC designation wasn’t about safety. It was about signalling obedience. It was about showing the Israel‑aligned security lobby that Labour will bend whenever told to”

    “The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), alongside Declassified UK, has delivered a letter signed by almost 25,000 people to home secretary Shabana Mahmood, calling for an investigation into UK nationals who have served in the IDF (the Israeli military, often called the IOF) since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

    The letter urges the government to examine UK citizens who have potentially committed war crimes in Gaza and if they have been involved in violations of international law by participating in Israel’s assault”

    Let’s face it … Streeting is a useless c#nt of a Health Secretary who is in the pockets of various wealthy individuals with interests in privatising the NHS! *He* should also stand down with Starmer! I seriously hope Burnham does the right thing sends him (along with #LabourTogether ghoul #Mahmood) to the back benches!

    “Piker and Uygur were not banned by the Labour Party—they were banned by the Labour Together party. The primary architect of the Labour Together project is Morgan McSweeney, who was, until recently, Starmer’s chief of staff and widely understood as the real force running the government. McSweeney resigned in February after it was revealed he had pushed Peter Mandelsohn as the UK’s ambassador to the U.S., despite knowing of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein”

  36. And I don’t think it was just Spitting Image that made me think this.

    There were less career politicians certainly. There were a disproportionate number of males who were privately educated Oxbridge graduates. What’s changed?

    I think politicians were expected to answer questions in a more nuanced way. Media training was less obvious and therefore the electorate was more inclined to listen.

    When were you last entranced by the rhetoric of #Streeting, #Mahmood, #Reed or #Kendall ?
