The way Labour are polling, I'd not be so keen to keep vomiting out that argument mate. Looks just as likely it'll be you who needs to stand down to make way for the Greens. And, of course, you won't do that, will you? Because that has never been an honest argument.

Well I never. How embarrassing for every public figure who's commented on this so far. I imagine they'll be eating a lot of humble pie in their statements and interviews tomorrow. Either that or it'll just never be mentioned again by anyone.

A little-mentioned aspect of the Trump shit video is he's wearing a crown. Clearly this is just a man-baby trolling, but if he wanted to confirm the suspicions of everyone lining up against him he couldn't have come up with a better way.

When this goes very badly, and the police end up beating fuck out of Villa fans and Brummies while protecting Maccabi fans, will there be any introspection? No. It'll be a whole fanbase and city declared antisemitic.

The fact that this is Tommy Robinson is neither here nor there. It seems like yet another instance of abuse of powers given to Police for "counter-terrorism". Was he credibly suspected of terrorist activities? Or were they just trawling for information?

Still not *quite* sure I see the difference between Militant (terrifying, insidious insurgents, few in number, who attempted to capture a major political party) and say, Labour Together, except that the Trotsykites were characteristically useless, and failed

You can argue that Militant didnāt believe in basic democracy (possibly true), but the party of organised labour being recaptured by corporate interests is no less dodgy as fuck, just because those doing it dress smartly and are allowed on the breakfast shows

I mean encouraging the bombing of Venezuelans for having the temerity to go out to sea in a boat isn't as much of a blocker on winning the Nobel Peace Prize as bombing multiple countries simultaneously like Obama when he won it, but surely it's still a blocker isn't it?

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

In what kind of country do political journalists withhold very consequential key facts that they all know about politicians, without having to be told they should keep them quiet, only occasionally alluding to things everyone has always known? A very transparent, democratic one, Iām sure.

It's the behind the scenes spats that worry me. All the same old Labour faces doing the same old Labour back room stitch ups. These people love the Labour party and they're trying to recreate one that they happen to be in charge of.
