5 coach train at this time costing £95 for a standard ticket and 2 of the coaches are first class We honestly need to imprison train bosses and share holders on a dessert island

Thought Watson‘s fig leaf to Rowling was aloof and cringe so this is very funny to me tbh

Thanks to everyone who came down to the #PicketLine today! The brave teachers of Malvern House will be on #strike again tomorrow so come down to show your support! 🪧🪧 🗓️ 30.09 🕗 8 o'clock sharp 📍200 Pentonville Rd, N1 9JP

These Expensive ass GWR trains that make you book a seat turn me into the most Possessive Individualism mfer out here, “brav that’s my seat” 😡

The way “mental health” is thrown away today makes me embarassed to have any mental capacity at all tbh

last day of my last job I did that proper bell-goes and you drop-tools Homer simpson finish and smashed 5 pints - about 2 hours later a manager tried to get me to clean up (hell no) - then said “you’ll be back soon enough” - never felt so good knowing how wrong she was

Every cityscape has that post-industrial wasteland/dog shit new office architecture palimpsest that you just don’t get in that London any more

speaking of spousal visas, the 10 year requirement is a domestic abuser's charter

Not even the ones who are generally accepted as “had it coming“ deserved it - Old Bolsheviks, academics, workers being too “anarchic“, even fucking Trotsky - all these people were committed communists that murdered in horrendous conditions - the nostalgia for it is reactionary nonsense

If you suddenly halved UK higher-education student enrolments, that would be 1.5 million people needing full-time work, immediately, and another half-million people joining that list, every year...

another thing the expansion of the university system did was soak up youth unemployment. private business is not prepared to pay for mass internships to replace it, so the state would have to. Do these people think Real Jobs Training won’t cost billions?

Exam culture itself is still down stream when where the shit is poured into the water supply - the neoliberal university, funding competition, and debt discepline

Reading BritCard.pdf and finding the truly cursed phrase "build the digital right-to-work/right-to-rent credential and integrate it with Home Office’s enforcement strategy".

I got a cabbage leaf wedged up my finger nail and it actually really hurt!

International Proletarian Aktion

listening to In Flames Clayman and it’s actually a banger - pretty impress of them to have not been able to release a good record for the e next 25 years tho

"They had many of the same problems we had: education, organising the people to struggle and raising consciousness. They damn sure had the same enemy, and they were doing as bad as we were, if not worse." Assasta Shakur on the re-occupation of Alcatraz by the Indians of All Tribes in 1969-71

The fellas are gonna hate me for this but… despite Actually Existing Trotskyists being annoying, Trotsky’s works have been a far more fecund resources for thinking various dynamics of capitalism, culture and communism than either Lenin and especially Stalin 🫢

BREAKING: Israeli warplanes just bombed Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School, which shelters displaced families, in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City. Israel committing more war crimes in front of the world. Silence. Silence.

Please, for the love of god, don’t look at the history of appeasement peasants!

Your nan keeps trying to book a GP appointment through the digital ID card but the system glitches means she’s actually reported 17 potholes outside her sheltered housing accommodation

Old grannies keeling over in the doctor’s waiting room because the updated OS on their phone rendered their digi-ID inaccessible and the AI secretary screen refused to tell the doctor a patient was in need of help and instead informs the robot police dog of an illegal alien

Since they’re going to sell these digital IDs to private mega corporations anyway they might as well link it up to a Tescos Club Card so I don’t have to pay an extra £1 every time I fancy some Pringles

“Part of the misunderstanding of the deepfake threat stems from the idea that it is a problem of bad information, rather than a problem of desire (or the material conditions that shape desire)” Claire Wilmot @lrb.co.uk www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/se...

After the £50 ticket to London, the beers, the McDs and the bags of cola, these blokes were paying between like £120-200 for a racist jolly to Londonistan

Great book but I honestly hate reading it in public because I feel like people think I’m reading a book about robot dominatrix or something

How is a test gonna help poor kids read?

of all the fucking things you can criticise the dickheads in this country for, “love being watched everywhere, all the time, by cameras which miraculously don’t work if you’re a victim of a crime in their purview anyway” is not one of them ?

Keir Starmer for the Telegraph, December 2025 “For too long the left have not let us talk about climate scepticism“

.. but also police in other countries use them to hassle minorities, and this is a bad thing! www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

In the first place, ID cards *right now* are being proposed as a measure against illegal immigration. That means they will definitionally be intended to lock down services, not facilitate access.

#OtD 26 Sep 1990 the Oka Resistence ended after 78 days of struggle by Kanyen'kehà:ka (Mohawk) people against expansion of a golf course on their land. Barricades were set up and armed stand-offs took place, leading to two deaths inc one land defender stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1260...

Literally got the fucking prime minister going to the reactionary press to berate The Left for all Britain‘s problems having just came out of a decade of Tory rule and now having to live under his fumbling inadequacies What a pathetic existence

sorry this is hilarious - you got to laugh or you’ll cry into your cereal

So last night the inner circle of the government decided they would smear anything to the left of Farage as “trussite” and this morning the clientele journalists have already got it ready to go

unless my dig-ID gives me money I’m not sure how this will help me out of poverty. If you mean it will be “easier” for me to navigate the byzantine public/private mess of a bureaucracy in this country, fine, but don’t expect a “thank you”

Not sure “we are already been tracked all the time” is much of an argument but if it is then there‘s no need for digital ID cards anyway

I love me some walue-form theory, but it’s pretty symptomatic that this doesn’t get mentioned at all within a school of Marxist theory that’s regularly criticised for people apolitical

Just trying to have my morning coffee in the park and I’ve had my senses assaulted by a “flash mob” of enforced gym joy

Not even the ones who are generally accepted as “had it coming“ deserved it - Old Bolsheviks, academics, workers being too “anarchic“, even fucking Trotsky - all these people were committed communists that murdered in horrendous conditions - the nostalgia for it is reactionary nonsense

So they’re racing the ID cards policy through because they’ve got a backroom deal with Oswald Mosley’s grandson and assortment of other techno antichrists, right?

“Bullet casings were found at the scene with writing on them which read, ‘I’m a big bad scary anti-fascist trans person with blue hair and the only thing that will stop me is a massive Palantir surveillance network used to criminalize people for thought crimes. My pronouns are freedom/bad.”

Multiculturalism was declared a failure in this country by the highest office in the land nearly 15 years ago - and in those 15 years every politician on nearly a daily basis has said “Immigration? Race? We’re not allowed to talk about this! You’re right to be angry racists! 🤭”

Keir Starmer having a reckoning with the left in *checks notes* by far the most cranky right wing racist newspaper that ran an insane billboard campaign barely a month ago

What a great conversation. Clara Mattei and I explored liberalism, capitalism, slavery, and resistance in this wide-ranging discussion of my book, "Slavery and Capitalism." (And, yes, that's quite the look on my face). Here’s the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kpR...

the only thing I care about is the international court letting rip on him
