Clive Lewis ought to be the next Labour PM. He won't be, of course, coz even if he put himself forward, he wouldn't be allowed onto the ballot. The New Labour neoliberal project continues unabated, even without Mandelson & McSweeney at the top of the governing party.

Oh, you are one of the Labour cultists who still believe they are a left-wing party? Don't you understand? When a party is taken over by neoliberal bigots it becomes a neoliberal bigoted party. You had a chance of being a left-wing party and blew it. Abandon ship.

Ahh Stewart Lee! "Bloody Huguenots, coming over here, from France, bloody religious heretics... doubting transsubstanciation"

The US is now funding the far-right in the UK youtu.be/srCked8HMNc?...

I'll be surprised if he survives a fortnight! Or, maybe, the day after the forthcoming Gorton & Denton by-election result "disaster".

This'll work out in the same way that sacking Kwarteng did for Truss, I'd warrant!

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

That’s what the emails reveal, unfortunately: a clique of fascist billionaires are working to destroy democracy to maximise their personal freedom and power, and your governments are ideologically subservient to them, if not actively on the take.

Let's check the possibilities... Blair: possible Brown: impossible Cameron: unlikely May: doubtful Johnson: probable Sunak: unlikely

VOTE REFORM; GET TORIES! And he doesn't live in Wales; he lives in Bath.

"Tories" gotta Tory!

Peter Mandelson was in charge of this Labour government; not Starmer - who is sitting at the front of a driverless DLR train *thinking* he's driving; nor McSweeney. Mandelson was at the top, calling the shots, making the decisions. His role as US ambassador was a cover story for real influence...

Human rights lawyer, my arse! Bought by and sold to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "I can just confirm to the House, under my leadership [of Labour] Mandelson had no role, no influence & no part to play" It was precisely because Corbyn didn't represent the interests of the ruling class (like Mandelson did), that his leadership had to be destroyed

Let’s be clear: Farage is mentioned 43 times in the Epstein Files. SO FAR. There are still plenty more pages to be released.

Mandelson allies and proteges in Starmer's Cabinet Three direct proteges: Streeting, Lammy, McFadden Progress/Policy Network allies: Mahmood, McGovern, Powell, Reynolds, Reed, Kendall, Streeting and Reeves Chicken Coup Plotters: Starmer, Benn, Reed, Healey, Nandy, Thomas-Symons and Powell

Vive la revolution digitale!

Ragnar makes an excellent point.

Why is the pedophile’s name redacted?

Funny because it’s true 🤣👌😬

@zackpolanski.bsky.social would you look at who Nigel Farage is hanging out with!!

The death of Twitter, beautifully articulated by the legendary Stewart Lee. Catch this full episode of The Trawl anywhere you get your pods ✌🏾

If this all makes you angry, They've been taking the piss out of all of us. This is what Labour do - protect the status quo, the powerful and the wealthy - no matter how awful the crimes. We're building an alternative so we can put them in the bin: Join.greenparty.org.uk

And “who voted for you?”

Managing a corrupt system makes the management corrupt, too.

This reminds me how my friend with schizophrenia kept telling me how she’d think things & get ads for them from google. She was trying to convince me & I didn’t believe it. It seems it’s possible she may have been right.

🥳

Locals want a local candidate Labour: Fuck what locals want Great strategy

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

8% score on Rotten Tomatoes... That high, eh?

More, here:

This would be political suicide. People of principle don't want him or his Iraq war supporting, NHS privatising textbook Labour lack of values. The fact that he's not quite as far right as the malleable dead eyed fish that is Starmer doesn't mean he should be a Green.

Labour lost Runcorn because they ran a terrible, Reform light campaign, an almost 15k majority overturned. The campaign was run by London, never saw the local party. Started with a petition to close an asylum hotel and telling us only Labour could stop Reform. I voted #Green.

Effectively, I wrote about this for @bylinetimes.bsky.social three years ago, in a piece was on the mainstreaming of conspiracism—which is basically what Question Time does when it regularly platforms ethnonationalists or genocide-deniers.

This is easy. Extremism = clicks & eyes on content in the engagement economy Peter misunderstands who Question Time is for & who is it adjacent to. It created the media persona of Farage & platforms extremists like Melanie Phillips. It is video rightism. It sits alongside Piers Morgan on YouTube

VOTE REFORM; GET TORY POLICIES

VOTE REFORM… GET THATCHER!

The tone-deafness in the statement is so on brand.

"Some pollsters do not include the Greens as an option in their surveys, which would lead to lower vote shares than if respondents had been prompted." It's a stitch-up!

Lots of greens in Cumbria planning to get to Manchester to help out. We need feet, hands and smiles - and a big dollop of hope!

NO ONE CARES

I recommend googling "state capture"! From the Guardian 2 months ago: State capture is the most dangerous mutation of corruption: corruption that governs, corruption that legislates, corruption that silences. It is the enemy not just of clean government but of democracy itself.

I've just had feet surgery, so am unable to walk farther than my kitchen, but if you're a Green Party member or supporter, get your arses to Manchester to help campaign!

Your... Who?
