I've been Labour my whole adult life, but I can't disagree with this. Reform are indistinguishable from the National Front in 1995. And Labour are indistinguishable from Tories in 1995. That's not a progressive option. That's the other thing. It's complicity when we need radicalism. It's failure.

More good news from around the world + sources! (3/3)

Some recent positive news from around the world 🌱 (2/3)

It’s time for some good news! 🌱🌍 (a thread, 1/3)

I may have gone a bit too hard at James O'Brien. But the constant begging the question of @lbc.co.uk is getting so tedious. They're still doing Kamala campaign style "Who are these right wing figures beneath our coverage" style thing with a side of "Oh the lefts taking it too far again"

Ironic he would say this proving how much he sucks

I swear to GOD if she comes out with some pro-Gambler position we need French style riots going on. We need buildings ON FIRE! This shit is UNTENABLE! The fuckers are making THE TORIES seem reasonable statesmen!

Judge dismisses state terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione on.ft.com/3K3GMcE

Govts manage inflation by hiking interest rates, Forces people to hand money to banks, boosts profits, enriches shareholders & execs. Huge wealth transfer. Millions can't pay bills and cut spending. Economy stutters. Why punish low/middle earners? Tax the rich to remove surplus cash.

He literally died doing what he loved.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away

Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

This is how a leader stands up to tyranny.

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

As a gay person with ASD I give everyone the pass. Identity politics had it's use when the stage was "know these people exist" but it's fundamentally reductionist. It should be left in the hands of academics to find minor trends for discrepancies of outcome for investigation.

It’s a sick sad world out there. 🙄🫣

Yeah the idea that a number of people from like 1 medium town are "crippling our economy" when we're the 6th biggest one in the world is so idiotic. We are FORCING them to not work. I imagine if people are wanting to flee here or he'll even do it "for the opportunity" illegal routes are preferred.

The best question is typically “where’s the rest” @coachstuds.bsky.social

Labour homelessness minister Rushanara Ali threw four tenants out of her east London townhouse before relisting the property for £700 a month more in rent, The i Paper can reveal trib.al/E59gUNW

Here's my "opinion that would get you crucified by the left" type thing. 1) The internet allows us to educate ourselved on every community on earth and historic attrocities and injustuces 2) This is a catch 22 because people who would have interacted "identity blind" are taught to be mistrustful

The Trump administration attempting to "Yassify" fossil fuels was not on my bingo card

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Should Britain recognise the state of Palestine?" Sarah Champion, "Yes" Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Should Britain call this a genocide?" Sarah Champion, "I can't see it as anything other than a genocide"

I've nearly done with excising all Destiny content from my algorithm but the annoying "I want to know all sides of arguments" side of me tempted me into clicking and OMG he's thick and capitalist pilled. Around this time stamp they're really going with "Price = Value = Cost" youtu.be/_y5nfZs8_Yg?...

92-year-old former sub-postmistress Betty Brown, "Waiting for compensation is absolutely diabolical, unbelievable, stressful, heartbreaking, and still the government have no intention of settling this claim whatsoever" "The wait goes on and on and that shouldn't happen"

You know what? For the hell of it have him run for President. Give MAGA and Evangelical Christians a literal heart attack. It's not like anyone outside the families is going to get a real shot in Americas monarchy. Might as well.

Thoughts on Starmer's Labour

This shows that LibDems really haven't changed their collaborative, hedge-betting, principles for sale ways since 2010 If Reform get enough vote share we ARE getting 2010 round 2 BUT WORSE in 2029. So my "well they put out more good policy nowadays maybe we can collaborate with-" NOPE! Green or bust

VEEEEERY useful now Win11 is FORCING pin login and therefore making it impossible to do initial MicrosoftAccount creds cache. 1) runas /u:MicrosoftAccount\[email protected] winver 2) Enter MicrosoftAccount password 3) Profit... from being able to RDP cmdrkeene.com/remote-deskt...

For gods sake it's how the US and UK justify not implementing PR! Liberals are insane! There is no "peaceful persuasion" method to human rights never has been. MLK was ASSASSINATED with "public opinion" STILL net negative! The only reason it progressed was the Radical Flank effect!

Nice one finally a single element of Americas culture war crap that we've bucked the trend of. Now if we could just get rid of the centre right posing as left idiot surprised at the rise of the right to avoid Macrons centrist result but worse because of FPTP.

I cannot believe that trangulation has made it through to Podcasts along with the constant shock at it's failures throughout the world Rory Stewart's solupsism that one can be a "non-populist but politically leaning" actor is a direct demonstration of the rot of politics more so than the far right

I was SO close to firing this off. Seems I've still got some Twitter habits to shake off. Can anyone think of a less passive aggressive snarky way to get across this level of disdain for the "I view everything through the identity lens". Good faith I'm looking for rhetoric as quick as sarcasm.

“Where do you get your politics from?” Me:

The shitposting will continue until one of them is missing an eye

Finally. I have been non-stop raging against Labours worst stuff. Its is almost entirely unthinkable that I'll ever vote them again at any level. But stopping Isreal before it's a grotesque Auschwitz/Ibiza combo for MAGA/IDF would help. Anti-austerity and Nationalisation of core infrastructure.

Hilarious that this is the URL preview card for resigning from The Labour Party.

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

Good. We deserve the results.
