Hello, vote Green

My friend Souad is trying to raise $130 to buy food and medicine for herself and her young son, Omar. With more and more platforms barring access to Palestinians, it's very hard for them to find help. She's on her own, with nowhere else to turn. chuffed.org/project/soad #MutualAid

It’s funny how the Soiked-adjacent Aufabunga lot managed to make inroads with some of the more gullible sections of the left, then completely fucked it because they just couldn't resist pressing the big red “I’m a massive cunt” button over Palestine

The people on the left who fell for the FREE SPEECH!!! moral panic are clowns

I’m not sure why people think messages discussing Salmond’s ‘wandering hands’ and other bad experiences somehow vindicate him?

Saw two people today wearing NWO wrasslin’ t-shirts in different parts of London

Has anyone else noticed a hipster tax on 2/3rd? In two different bars near me (AFAIK not owned by the same people) a 2/3rds works out far more expensive per ml than a half, let alone a pint @philmellows.bsky.social @rogerprotz.bsky.social @thebeerfather.bsky.social @carolinedebenh1.bsky.social

Balancing my happiness at Linfield getting stuffed at home with the knowledge they have to at least draw for Glentoran to be guaranteed second.

My friend Majd is in real trouble and I don't know if he's going to survive today. As some of you know, he was shot in the back (the second time he was badly injured when trying to collect food). He had surgery but without the right antibiotics. Now his internal bleeding won't stop. bit.ly/4sZKV2K 🍉

anyway this is a pretty interesting little nugget, is it not? transphobic politicians conspiring with friendly journalists to attack political opponents? you'd have been called a conspiracy theorist if you suggested this was obviously going on

Here are questions I haven't seen any journalists ask yet: 1) Peter Mandelson was revealed to have been passing on state secrets in 2010. Jeffrey Epstein wasn't the only billionaire he was close with, and he was a member of the house of lords. How do you know this was the last time he did it?

How long until the articles calling anyone who’s suspicious of the official account “conspiracy theorists” appear?

This detailed study finds that young Americans hold more antisemitic views than older Americans, and that young right-wing Americans are substantially more antisemitic than young left-wing Americans. www.theargumentmag.com/p/antisemiti...

I suppose “Fat Cops but English” was inevitable

For anyone interested in the history of the Revolutionary Communist Party and Living Marxism, here is a lengthy article that I wrote a little while ago about it all. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Guess how many times this Spiked piece - which blames Orban’s loss on ‘identity politics’ and ‘therapy culture’ - mentions that Furedi is literally working for Orban? democracyforsale.substack.com/p/orbans-brits

In retrospect, and on balance, it’s clear the printing press was a mistake

Every candidate for Scottish Labour is running on an explicit platform of trans segregation, even the ones you like, do not vote for a single one of them

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

Bloke is the pub is arguing we need to retain Trident to defend ourselves from Trump. South London contains multitudes.

I don’t want Hasan Piker to be the face of anti-Israel politics in the US any more than I want Tucker Carlson to be. But the way to do that is by elevating principled critics of Israel like Zohran Mamdani, not going scorched earth on him like the ADL did.

The Hasan Piker discourse is tiring because people are conflating two separate questions: -Has this one person said stupid and offensive things? (Yes) -Are groups like Third Way using this as a way to try to restrict acceptable criticism of Israel? (Also yes)

As Bluesky panics again about requests for help, let me reiterate that I've known Samaa for a long time and verified her in the course of my work. She's a real person who needs help to keep her family alive. chuffed.org/project/157569 @gofund-gaza.bsky.social @fairshare.help @dgmeek92.bsky.social 🍉

you absolutely do not gotta hand it to Tucker but the British liberal state has given such an easy lay up for antisemites to launder themselves and it’s going to get really ugly

I've talked about it before, but there is a class of centrist politician that genuinely gets a buzz from being 'forced' to do deeply horrible things for supposed long-term good, who have essentially fetishised the notion of being vindicated by history.

As Talia gets older, she's starting to pay more attention to her wider environment. Samaa doesn't know how to explain about the bombing, or why there is never enough food or milk. Please help if you can. chuffed.org/project/157569 @mommunism.bsky.social @gofund-gaza.bsky.social @fairshare.help #Gaza

How much lower can he sink? Hanging out with George Osborne, I mean. The pissing thing is much more understandable.

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism but simply saying "anti-Zionism is not antisemitism" and leaving it at that is an insufficient analysis. www.jta.org/2026/04/09/p...

@bluekanues.bsky.social Listening to FORTH right now and loving it.

Polanski suggesting we aim to replace a military alliance in which the largest and most powerful member regularly threatens to invade and occupy other members is still widely presented as a lunatic fringe position

The ever-dwindling number of Starmeroids spent the last week defending his failure to speak out against Trump’s genocidal threats on the basis no other NATO leader had done so. (As if that’s the benchmark, anyway.) www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Asking many people to self-fund a transition to an electric car and heat pump is unreasonable. Requiring it of many other people is very reasonable indeed. But we aren't actually in the green transition debate any more. We should be in a debate about literal oil and gas shortages.

If you’re one of those people who who complains about old school brown bitter being less available than it once was, get down to The White Hart in Crystal Palace, whose current cask selection is Bass, Boltmaker, and Black Sheep. @rogerprotz.bsky.social

Thousands of people die every year from poorly-heated housing. In the 1970s it was tens of thousands. For many people, reducing home heating use simply isn’t an option.

The vast majority of NI Protestants would have been disgusted by this. It answers the “Was she radicalised, or did she just become more comfortable saying it?” question quite neatly.

I think one of the big disconnects here is that establishment actors can’t see beyond establishment solutions. they hear spencer say ordinary people shouldn’t pay for the impact of a war they’ve nothing to do with and they think ah she wants to subsidise energy

I’m pretty certain even @jdportes.bsky.social finds this dude extreme and very cringe

“Price is the fairest rationing mechanism” Hark at the ghost of Sir Charles Trevelyan here. Let’s be thankful he wasn’t around in WWII. I can’t be the only person who’s noticed an increasing Ancaps4Starmer tendency.

I once - very briefly - earned about 90% of what an MP does and I genuinely didn‘t know what to do with the money

The “simple solutions for complex problems“ insult implies the need for complex solutions that are up to the complex task. How odd that these invariably turn out to be: 1) Nothing, because nothing can be done about it 2) Cross our fingers and hope for economic growth
