That's a great picture so I've added #AltText so that more folk can appreciate it. 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

‘These reactionaries may be contemptible, even at times laughable, but they were deadly serious. And perhaps they understood the stakes of politics more clearly than the “Third Way” liberals who for a time would consign them to the margins.’ William Davies on the 1990s www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

There has never been better conditions for a force to Labour's left. There has never been a bigger threat from fascism in Britain. If 'Your Party' implodes, that will be tragic - and unforgivable. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#JudithButler, prominent Jewish theorist, is one of many under threat.

😂 they don't make em like this any more

Just re-posting this as it's even more important.

Happy 34th Birthday #BigIssue 👏👏🎉 and a big shout out to all your vendors, past and present.

This really cannot be emphasized enough. China is driving the global green transition (in terms of green energy tech production, exports to the rest of the world, and installation), and this is occurring because of industrial policy and *not* because of "market mechanisms".

A reasonable argument. However, on TikTok #Zarah has twice as many followers and three times the number of likes (9M), compared with #Jeremy - she's way more popular. #YourParty

Thanks for this Richard, I was just wondering how they were doing!

Greta Thunberg and the Flotilla have made their last stop, they are now less than 1000 miles from Israel Sometime within the next 6 days Israel is going to try to stop them The people of the world stand with them, it's time the Governments did, they must be protected

If BlueSkyers out there would like to join us as citizen journalists on a mission to speak truth to power in this increasingly censored world, you are very welcome, whatever your nationality, and wherever you live.

I do think we could all do more to promote Bluesky though. Have met lots of people in last few weeks who hadn't heard of it

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

Fucksake, this #discourse AGAIN? Yes this platform is smaller, very observant. But I don't spend all day being force fed Nazi slop or getting harassed by Nazis on a Nazi platform specifically engineered to amplify Nazis. It's not a hard decision, let's all just move on.

Starmer's recognition of Palestine: A positive step forward that, without tough action to restrain Israel, could sadly become an act of hypocrisy | David Keys

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

VIDEO: Corbyn - 'I am absolutely determined Your Party will be founded and conference will happen' In a speech, Corbyn was also careful to name Zarah Sultana first among the MPs who are cooperating to create Your Party www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...

On an iphone, you can open an image in Photos, then touch and hold any word - this creates a cursor which you can use to grab the text you want to copy & paste. It’s really handy for generating alt-text from screenshots.

I've reflected & dispite a few reservations I've signed. We must move forward ASAP & I think @owenjones.bsky.social right. Thanks Owen. Please reflect & consider doing likewise & if you're in agreement please circulate as widely as possible #YourParty #YourPartyUK is #OurParty #BottomUp #democracy.

Agreed ... for now at least. BUT they're both still important. I hope my recent posts with the letter link have helped promote a way forward - please have a look & consider signing the letter & sharing. #YourParty #YourPartyUK

🔴‘The Media is Failing to Report the Human Impact of the Rising Tide of Racism’ News organisations are completely failing to represent the concerns of people of colour amid the rise of far-right groups and open racism, writes Helen Wadia bylinetimes.com/2025/09/19/t...

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

Populist movements across West are being driven by groups of people who don't all believe the same thing - but all share a huge distrust of institutions, fed by social media's algorithms Must watch with @eliothiggins.bsky.social on Democracy for Sale democracyforsale.substack.com/p/how-algori...

Zarah Sultana has backed the 'Our Party' attempt to remove MPs from leadership of 'Your Party'

"... the situation can and must be retrieved. Open the membership, put the party on a firm financial and organisational setting, regularise the already-existing branches and fora, and let's have this founding conference where the purpose and politics of our party can get thrashed out."

Hard to disagree

New post just out: "Three seconds" What links Charlie Kirk, the overthrow of the Nepalese government, the US-China trade deal, and the trial of a Romanian Presidential candidate? TikTok. Here's why it's changing politics and what that means. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...

I talk a bit about the potential impact on UK politics too. If you want a clue the two most followed politicians by far are Nigel Farage and Zarah Sultana.
