I'm sorry but Piers Corbyn getting enough nominations to stand for the YP CEC is very funny

Wrote this for @newsocialist.bsky.social six years ago and think it stands up pretty well, particularly this bit on what the Labour right actually believes. newsocialist.org.uk/plea-wavering-…

A good thing about growing my beard out is that I don’t get mistaken for Charlie Austin when it’s like this

Starmer taking the fall for Mandelson would be funny, but the whole rotten right wing of the Labour Party should go in the bin with him. They’ve all known so Mandelson is and they’ve all been complicit in his numerous rehabilitations. Shut it down.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has somehow captured the gentility of the first LOTR film but with a load of swearing, the central character having a shit, and at leats one fucking massive dick.

I mean I’d rather go to meetings with a bunch of ENM bisexuals on ket than knock about with a bunch of cunts from the Weekly Worker but that doesn’t make joining the Greens the strategically correct call

Weird how here it straight up says ‘Israel did this’ whereas when Israel is killing Palestinians it’s ‘Palestinians were killed’

Slightly facetiously said to a mate that there’s probably a higher proportion of arseholes in YP, but a higher proportion of people with melty politics in the GP, and I reckon being on some level conscious of this informs a lot of people’s decisions about which to join.

Aye carumba

Call Guardiola a hypocrite all you want (I mean, he is one), but it's very telling that football journalists who've said fuck all about Palestine until now suddenly feel emboldened to talk and write about it. Including some of those calling him a hypocrite! Get your own house in order lads!

Am I imagining this or is it mostly middle-aged people who use gifs now?

‘Domestic terrorism’, fucking hell

I’ve been doing this with two of my closet comrades for a few months now. We think it’s a really vital project that can help activists (including ourselves) make sense of the contemporary left. Please listen and share!

First plays third in the top league in the world and it’s like watching a game from 1991, which is perhaps unsurprising given the two managers both still favour wet look hair gel of the sort you could buy in Happy Shopper for 99p

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men. There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

Happy birthday to me. Doing alright for 46. Free Palestine.

Arsenal Fans TV gone woke

The reintroduction of the Hillsborough Law to Parliament was a victory for campaigners against those who benefit from the state’s lack of accountability. But the fight is not over. newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

The families who’ve campaigned for justice are some of the most inspiring people I know of, so I’m really pleased that we were able to publish this. Also big shout out to @IanByrneMP for giving me so much of his time. If only all MPs were like him. newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...
