Mystery ! It's not about the previously planned march against the War with Iran, because that is pretty much old news by now --

Just watching Shed Seven at Glastonbury. The guitarist played the opening chord to On Standby and the whole crowd started singing it. The lead singer just sat down and let them get on with it. It was quite a lovely moment.

"" Glastonbury to be banned after Kneecap insulted Keir Starmer on stage
It's fair to say this year's Glastonbury has been an enormous headache for supporters of genocide, particularly the prime minister.
After forgetting to proscribe Kneecap along with Palestine Action, Sir Keir Starmer got in a muddle and demanded that Glastonbury axe Kneecap from this year's line up. Only problem is Starmer made Kneecap really popular by pretending they're terrorists and this meant the organisers refused to pull them. You can't expect capitalists to miss out on a few quid, can you?
You can imagine how awkward this all was for the BBC. The BBC loves to air Glastonbury every year so it can pretend it's cool and edgy while objecting to anything that makes Glastonbury cool and edgy, kind'a like your geography teacher at the school disco, if your geography teacher was covering up a genocide, that is.
BBC bosses were panicking because their neutrality guidelines mean they must agree to censorship requests from Zionist politicians. Not agreeing to those censorship requests would mean the BBC has a free speech bias rather than a pro-genocide one.
The only impartial solution was for the BBC to cut Kneecap's performance from their live feed so you don't hear it, like boos for Israel at Eurovision.
It appeared we were safe from having our minds polluted by unauthorised opinions, but unfortunately, some idiot at the BBC didn't check who was on before Kneecap. It was someone called Bob Vylan who caused horror and disgust when he displayed the words: "Free Palestine. United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a conflict."
As if that wasn't bad enough, Bob Vylan started chanting: "Death, death, to the IDF!"
Zionist David Collier really didn't help matters when he explained that every Israeli child becomes an IDF soldier, unwittingly reminding us all Israelis become a participant in genocide. We're not supposed to say the quiet part loud, David!
You're probably thinking Glastonbury could not get any worse because at least Kneecap was being censored, but in stepped Helen from fucking Wales. I've no idea where Wales is, but I can only assume Israel will be bombing it as soon as they're done with Iran. It's the only way.
Helen from Wales thought it was a great idea to live stream the Kneecap performance for one fucking hour. She racked up like a million views on TikTok which is confusing because I thought we had banned TikTok for Israel.
Horrifyingly, Kneecap made Yvette Cooper's head explode when they called for the British government to be proscribed, rather than Palestine Action. Things only got worse when they performed their latest song "Fuck Keir Starmer". Truly, this was a hate crime.
If Sir Keir Starmer had feelings, this performance would have really hurt them. All I can say is thank god he is a robot.
Obviously, all of these unauthorised opinions called for drastic action so police arrested everyone at Glastonbury under the Terrorism Act. You will be relieved to hear Kneecap and Bob Vylan are to be proscribed, Glastonbury is to be banned, and the BBC is to be axed to protect the feelings of genocide supporters. The feelings of genocide supporters are all that matters x "

Well, the BBC refusing to show Kneecap's set has beckfired spectacularly. It's all over social media and the biggest politics streamer on Twitch did a segment on it.

‘Too arrogant to listen’: how welfare bill soured Starmer’s relations with rebel MPs
Includes this gem
These guys have lost the plot. What's that the PM said about human dignity? We'll just throw the one in ten on the scrapheap.
Truth
Includes this gem
MPs say they received a litany of threats, including the possibility of a general election. Those on the right of the party were warned their actions could bring about a leadership challenge that would be won by Angela Rayner. The same threat was made to those on the left, but with Wes Streeting as the looming spectre.
These guys have lost the plot. What's that the PM said about human dignity? We'll just throw the one in ten on the scrapheap.
One adviser, a close ally of the prime minister, said they had been so determined the vote had to go ahead – concessions or not – because the symbolism of being able to get the government’s agenda through the Commons was so important.
“This is a fairly moderate reform,” the adviser said. “If the government cannot make this modest saving – in a change that will not affect nine out of 10 people already on the benefit – then how can we pursue the political programme we need, to make the tough decisions the country needs us to take? It’s impossible.”
Truth
“Everything the government is now realising is something MPs have been saying for months,” one MP said. “The fact that you cannot defend these cuts on the basis they will get people into work. The fact that you cannot guarantee the most disabled people won’t be worse off.

And when Alastair Campbell is the voice of reason...
ALASTAIR CAMPBELL@campbellclaret 2h
Around 400 Palestinians, including dozens of children, have been killed while trying to get humanitarian assistance. I don’t recall these incidents (including this weekend) leading many papers or news bulletins. Are we really saying a few chants from a couple of musicians is more newsworthy or important? We have lost our bearings …

"Vicious" is one word that lingers from the article . So getting rid of Corbyn solved all problems, and no need to spend time in Opposition doing impact studies on one's policies .But armed with a 150-plus Commons majority – and what felt to some MPs like an almost messianic insistence on turning around an increasingly unaffordable social security system – Downing Street ploughed on.
“This has happened because of an arrogance from the top,” one veteran Labour MP said. “On the day of the green paper, the whips were saying they thought a maximum of 10 people would actually rebel. They were laughing at us.
“They didn’t think anyone would have the guts from the new intake. But they [new Labour MPs] have been doing their own organising.”

Well it's all been kicking off at Glasto hasn't it? I've been totally oblivious to it while up visiting the folks (my mother continues to defy palliative predictions).
I'm sunburned to fuck (the back my neck is literally a hot mess) after sitting outside drinking at a beer festival yesterday then walking for miles down the coast today. It was worth it though, because I found one of these...

I'd never have noticed it if a pair of Rock Pippets with chicks hadn't been angrily cheeping at me from just below it on the cliff.
It would have grown in a tropical swamp 300 million years ago with giant dragonflies the length of your arm buzzing around.
