It’s right to highlight how #Sunak and #Starmer ‘s governments were completely asleep at the wheel on #wildfire risk and preparedness…but which ministers and departments dropped the ball? The Fire Service is currently overseen by Minister for Building Safety, Fire and Resilience…but under #Tories was Minister for Crime, Policing and Fire? Where is #Defra in all of this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/04/government-dropped-plan-england-countryside-wildfires

The #Labour manifesto promised it would regulate AI. But #Starmer succumbed to pressure from #BigTech and pursued ‘growth’ over our rights

It’s time for our new Prime Minister & Minister for AI, Narayan, to introduce legislation that will #regulate AI and ensure that works for all of us and does not harm our #HumanRights

"The Labour Party […] is a centralised, bureaucratic organisation that plays a key role in UK democracy whether or not the Labour Party is in government. The right [of the party] never truly ceded control over the Labour Party machine, even when Corbyn was in power. As observers from across the political spectrum have documented, key players on the Labour right worked behind the scenes to undermine him throughout his tenure." Burnham "has flip-flopped enough times for the Labour machine’s apparatchiks to accept he is no threat to their project. "Perhaps more importantly, Burnham lacks a coherent base that might hold him to account were he to tack to the right once in office. He doesn’t have strong links with the unions or any social movements. He is relatively popular among the Labour membership, but the Party has been so centralised under Starmer that members now play a much-diminished role – and Burnham is unlikely to change this. "In short, as with Starmer, there will be no one to challenge him if he reneges on commitments. Equally, there will be no one to defend him if the Labour machine turns on him. "The challenge Burnham faces is unresolvable within the current political settlement. For as long as Labour exists as a cartel, divorced from a mass base, it will remain a playground for lobbyists and consultants. These interests will fight tirelessly for their preferred policies – policies that directly contradict the interests of the majority of people in the UK. And any leader who attempts to democratise the Labour Party and take on these vested interests will be eliminated by the Labour machine. "The only way to square this circle is to build power outside the Labour Party".

Die Genehmigung erleichtert den Einsatz von US-Flugzeugen von Diego Garcia und RAF Fairford aus

@Oldfartrant@mstdn.ca @ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk He should pack his bags & surrender himself as a war criminal to the court in The Hague imo! …. but he won’t ’cos, as a self-important, puffed-up non-entity of a failed former prime minister of a country that long since lost its sovereignty to the US & Israel but which still thinks it runs an Empire, he believes he’s immune from prosecution! #Starmer #GoodRiddance

#IRGC. One of the dying acts of the UK's hated #Starmer regime was to ban Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It was unclear whether a state entity could be banned, but in April the National Security (State Threats) Act removed doubt. This will also allow a UK ban on the so-called Israel Defense Forces (#IDF). Starmer and Burnham will not ban the IDF. But now a future #UKgov has the power to do so. The UK's v powerful #Israel lobby may bitterly regret this short-term win. #ukpol

@therightarticle@mas.to ….. at exactly the same time that the British government is expanding its own surveillance & repressive police state measures - including “terrorism” legislation to criminalise journalism which runs counter to the official state narratives on Israel, Gaza, Iran & the Ukraine/ Russia conflict! Fourteen years in prison for speech. Fourteen years for reporting. Fourteen years for being on the wrong side of a government that now decides what opinions are legal. The Epstein elite everywhere are seeing the writing on the wall & they’re running scared! And we’re supposed to believe that Russia, China, Iran & other repressive regimes are the only “bad guys” in the neighbourhood! #UK #Labour #Terrorism #Dictatorship #Repression #Journalism #Legislation #Starmer #Burnham

Remember that Andy Burnham is not necessarily the "good guy" when it comes to the Middle East, though he is trying hard these days to look like one. He is probably heavily instructed by Starmer and especially by Blair. #Burnham #Starmer #UK #Palestinehttps://jonathancook.substack.com/p/burnhams-contrition-on-gaza-is-hollow

@syphilia@kafeneio.social The Labour Government is abusing its power of proscribing terrorists groups in order to silence peaceful protestors. Pensioners are being locked up for waving cardboard signs against genocide. The Labour and Tory governments are both pro-zionist and complicit in genocide. I hope the zionist #starmer is remembered for his authoritarianism and anti-democratic actions more than any of the few good things he has done. #keirststarmer #LabourFriendsOfGenocide#Gaza #Action4Palestine
