Birmingham is one of Europe’s most financially broken councils. 62% of children are deprived. Reform’s first big intervention? Complaining about a 30-second translated prayer After 40 years of Labour-Tory austerity, Britain needs hope not this. The Greens offer a real alternative

"Why are you occupying America"

Founder of Vice and fascist incel group The Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes, claims Britain is being invaded by foreigners when he’s a British-born foreigner who’s invaded America.

The second big difference is the decoupling of the commodity cycle from fossil fuels. Consolidation as @brosef-stalin.bsky.social writes in @the-breakdown.bsky.social is the future for oil. This is not just about power, but where capital produces the future www.break-down.org/merging-to-s...

We were at the start of a new supercycle. This super cycle will be unlike any of the previous ones - it will be a climate super cycle The Iran war has massively accelerated its onset, and we are now in new territory. tinyurl.com/3h7bpy8b

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Samud Flotilla video piece on Radio Ulster excellent from @brosef-stalin.bsky.social v genocide apologist Elon Levey approx 30 mins in

Debated Israel propagandist Elon Levy on BBC over the flotilla video. Had they been Palestinians, they’d likely be raped, sodomised with batons, tortured, and starved. The only party in England to call for full sanctions and seeks to proscribe the IDF as a terrorist organisation is the Green Party.

Let’s confront Green Party “scandals” head-on One day Zack is “too rich” the next “too poor”. He spoke at the Red Cross, while Keir helped kill Gaza Red Cross aid workers. Zack worked for an MoJ agency, Keir’s MoJ illegally mass arrested anti-genocide activists The real scandal

Good stuff here. “This is obviously silly”

There's something grimly instructive about the way illegitimate systems whip up a storm of racism to keep the failing status quo.

Debated MPs from establishment parties last night. Apparently it’s only “sectarian” when Asians vote Green Things got heated when the Reform MP demanded Greens stop mentioning Gaza in a local election—from the party whose entire platform is mass deportations, a “local” issue ofc

Vanessa Feltz shamelessly attempts to smear the Greens as “sectarian” because we are the only party in Britain that opposes Israel’s genocide.

Where hasanabi laughs at the absurdity of the British media class for 30 mins. A clip:

I address the “Green Party antisemitism” smear point by point until Julie Hartley-Brewer can’t name a single example. The one she finally reaches for? Her own Islamophobia. Incredible.

The Greens cannot abandon Palestine, not only because it’s unacceptable on principle but it would electorally catastrophic:

Just had a heated debate with Stephen Pollard on antisemitism and banning Palestine marches. After shouting at the host, he responded to my direct question by confirming he believes all Jews are responsible for the brutality of the Israeli state, then tried to walk it back. Wild!

Spoke to The Independent on the idiocy of Trump’s “blockade of the blockade” and how it will only intensify a crisis the world is exposed to, while Iran is largely inoculated from it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

Julia Hartley-Brewer loses it when I mention Britain had national rent controls from 1915-1988 building 300–350k homes a year. Since 1988, we built 200k a year. The Greens’ policy to reintroduce rent controls would finally let councils build again rather than treating housing as an asset

Speaking at HM Istanbul on the Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab Straits and why Iran will win

Iran’s unpredictable missile capacity is one of the reasons why they are winning

Went on Times Now. Trump is desperately begging Europe and the Gulf to get involved and they’ve refused. He tried to restart negotiations and Iran shut that down. Everyone sees what’s happening. US and Israel are losing bad and Israel is scrambling to look strong. It aint working

Some Indian blogger has a total meltdown, starts hyperventilating and crying live on air because I criticised daddy Israel

Went on Indian television to debate an Israeli Knesset member cheerleading war while trying to milk sympathy from a shelter. Where are the shelters for Palestinians? For Iranians? No one stands with the genocidal state. This is aggression, and Iran has the right to defend itself.

The press keeps trying to sneer the Greens off as “fringe”. Ian’s doing it again here. We need to push back, hard. Labour is politically dead and people can see it. That’s why voters are moving to the Greens: we’re the ones actually speaking to what people care about.

Debate on BBC Talkback where I argue that despite the US and Israel violating almost every international law and norm, Iran currently holds the strategic upper hand:

Heated debate on the spectacular Green Party win in Gorton & Denton. Pushed back firmly on most of the caricatures and false claims about the Greens and the campaign

Vote LDF in Kerala

BREAKING: Palestine Action Ban Ruled Unlawful

Sakhave! To keep Kerala’s people’s government in power, vote LDF. Lal Salam ✊🏾

It is the pause after the question that kills me.

Calling a fight over Greenland a “world war” is idiotic. It would be a squabble over ice between dead empires and a rotting one. No brown or black bodies to use as cannon fodder this time. The only real outcome is the collapse of the Atlantic pact that’s defined the last 80 years.

US withdraws all military forces from Iraq’s federal territory after 23 years.

Went on LBC Topics covered: Tens of thousands without drinking water for nearly a week. Bills exploding. Public health emergencies. Renationalising water polls at 90%. The Greens are right. Starmer remains loyal to a failed privatised model and the companies that profit from it Renationalise water!

1/10 🧵 Worth engaging with the full Politics Theory Other episode. Richard Seymour offers a familiar critique of corruption, repression, and the exhaustion of Chavismo. These are real issues the left should not ignore.

It's imperialism, stupid! Natural resources are not the reason the US wants control over Greenland. I explain why in my new @theconversation.com article on Greenland's critical raw materials and fossil fuels in US expansionist ambition. Read the article here: theconversation.com/why-greenlan...

Spoke to The Independent on Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on any country trading with Iran. It is economic warfare. This kind of erratic trade coercion raises the risk of doing business with the US, accelerates its isolation, and fuels global de-dollarisation www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

One year of Trump’s tariffs. Higher prices, global disruption, and political theatre. I unpack what happened to the US and world economy on Al Jazeera:

Why Venezuela? Oil isn’t the whole story. Talking to L’Humanité about what’s actually at stake.

Primitive accumulation, plunder, slavery, colonial extraction and exploitation are all part of the same capitalist mechanisms that built Britain. The state-backed companies that led this are the same that continue to steal workers’ share of the products of their labour today.

"Genuine question..."

Just went on the BBC. The other guest was former adviser to disgraced opposition figure Juan Guaidó, brought on to launder Washington’s fallacious justifications for outright thuggery in Venezuela.

What if the urgency surrounding Trump’s attack on Venezuela is not just about oil, but about the end of US oil? What if this is a desperate attempt to hold onto US oil dominance after loosing the fight to dominate green capitalism? 1/6

As @brosef-stalin.bsky.social set out nicely in @the-breakdown.bsky.social , oil majors are consolidating as the price of exploration and extraction is increasing - consolidation a sure way to retain market share and profitability after the oil boom is over tinyurl.com/5xy5scv8 5/6

Unlike what we’re told to believe in Britain, class isn’t an identity. It’s a relation.

Who are the working class in Britain?

It’s simple: the US has waged a decades-long economic war on the Venezuelan people since Hugo Chávez nationalised the oil, because Venezuela insists its natural resources belong to its people, not Chevron.

She started malfunctioning 🤔

the state of british media my god

Yemen’s blockade of the Red Sea against Israel’s genocide was the first successful naval blockade in history carried out by a force with no navy. Here’s how it happened. It’s open access: doi.org/10.1111/anti...
