Democracy is on it’s deathbed. By our Political Correspondent. The impulse to silence dissent is becoming a fixture of our political culture. When voices challenge the established consensus, the instinct is often to slam the door rather than engage with the argument. The recent restriction to the entry of commentators like Hasan Piker and Cenk […]

Blair is a piece of sh*t…
By Sam Hamad I can’t stand any aspect of Labour, but Tony Blair is such a particular and outstanding cunt. It’s not just that he had to get his cunt nose involved with the Gaza genocide, namely through Trump’s pro-Israel ethnic cleansing embezzlement vehicle known as the “Board of Peace”, or that he advocated that […]
Nu-Thatcherism to the Putinist Model
The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]
Voting Labour? Please read…
By Sam Hamad By voting SNP today, or Green in the English local elections, or our comrades in Plaid Cymru in Wales, you’re voting against everything the sordid, filthy, pathetic Labour Party stand for. Here’s a quick rundown of Labour’s record of shame: Supported the Tory Hard Brexit Stifled any progressive conversation on rejoining the […]
From One Hell to Another: Why a Change in the Israeli Leadership Won’t Save Palestine
by Sam Hamad If Netanyahu is defeated, there’s going to be a lot of gushing by the more clever members of the Support the Genocide Coalition and other birdbrained liberals, who will conveniently forget that the main opposition to him is every bit as racist, fascistic and genocidal as Netanyahu, namely because Israel is a […]
Five Election Voices
Voice 1: Richie Venton, representing the Scottish Socialist Party, delivers a passionate call to action for the upcoming elections. He urges voters to choose the SSP on the list vote (the peach-colored form) to elect a team of “socialist fighters” dedicated to representing the millions, not the millionaires. Voice 2: Maggie Chapman emphasizes that […]
Kneecap Irish Goodbye – poetry that breathes, swears, and cries…
By Neil Scott Watching Kneecap’s eloquent, beautiful short film, Irish Goodbye felt less like watching a music video and more like delving into my own grief and facing the void left by a parent’s death. Therapy, in a way. Seeing someone else’s grief, and understanding we aren’t alone. As someone who grew up surrounded by […]
Reform and the Billionaire Dictator
By our political correspondent. The smell of shit is never contained by borders; it drifts, settles, and eventually coats the lungs of those of our common weal. For years, we have watched Nigel Farage and his fellow travellers in the Reform Party pose as the champions of the “left behind,” but the mask is slipping […]
The Bad and The Ugly by Val Waldron
It wasn’t quite the reaction I expected to my comment; So, Thatcher’s deid at last. The polite response that evening of 8th April 2013 could be summed up by a gently dismissive nod and patronising grimace. It told me what I already knew, that the death of this elderly person in the advanced […]
Why Hungary’s Soul is on the Ballot
By our Political Correspondent. There is a chill settling over the Danube that has nothing to do with the spring air. As the people of Hungary prepare to head to the polls this coming Sunday, 12 April 2026, they aren’t just choosing a government. They are deciding whether the concept of truth still has a […]
