Where are the polls? It looks like yougov have stopped doing them weekly now 😂😂😂
Soon to be Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, says there’s is increasing evidence of “war crimes” in Gaza, as he criticises the outgoing government for being “too slow” in their response to the humanitarian crisis.
Westminster Abbey📍 Created NHS✅ Established the Welfare State✅ Nationalised Key Industries (Coal, Gas, Rail, Electricity, BofE)✅ Mass Council Housing✅ Expanded Education✅ Decolonisation✅ All of this happened while debt was double what it is now in relation to GDP. We can do it again!
This middle paragraph shows a lack of self awareness evident from space, very similar to that of Blair. To give Blair his credit, he has a project most of the country were enthusiastic about, as did Attlee. Kier’s electoral merit was an anti-Tory consensus.
I get to us, her politics are deplorable, but there seems to be a section in society that is starting to rate her a bit more.
Nigel Farage’s absolute car crash interview with Nick Ferrari. The softest of softball questions and he gets all defensive: “what’s it gotta do with you?” Get this seen everywhere. He is a spineless, thin skinned, and corrupt individual
Just got home from holiday to see England flags up for the World Cup. This is patriotism. Not using our national flag to intimidate ethnic minorities or immigrants. It’s coming home! 🏴
Book of the week. Has anybody read Ed Miliband’s ‘Go Big’ ? 💭 Let me know what you all think below….
Imagine if Ed Milliband would have won the 2015 General Election… - No Brexit - The Green New Deal - Thousands more Social Housing - An economic philosophy that could have worked then. He was leading in the polls pretty much until election day. Here’s what you could’ve had people…
Has anyone else read Technofeudalism by @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social ? I found it both fascinating and frightening. The reality that capital itself is now at the behest of a few tech oligarchs, and we are all serf’s giving our data away as free labour should shock us all into action!
I am pleased to announce the next Reform UK by-election candidate Mr Christopher Harbourne!!
Remembering the Lancashire Cotton Famine on International Workers’ Memorial Day: A Thread 🧵
Today, UNISON leafleted Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s constituency, urging residents to ask her to reconsider her plans on doubling the years required for “earned settlement” for “low skilled work”. This will only embolden division, rather than the cohesion Mahmood thinks it will bring.
If anybody is interested in what a Band 2 student loan looks like… this is it! I am having around £2,000 a year added at 6.2% in interest. We really were misled, and ultimately sold out by successive governments, paying an extra 9% tax than everybody else.
The UK’s right wing media are currently lambasting a UK prime minister for not waging an illegal war in the Middle East… they have learned nothing from Iraq have they? The likelihood is, one of your grandparents are digesting this bilge on their television every morning with their cup of tea
I hate people talking about “regime change”. People really should look up the definition of what a regime is.
Great news. This must not now be about “regime change” by putting the shah in place for the purpose of the Americans extracting oil for their own financial gain. A proper transition towards democracy must be put in place to give the Iranian people the right to self determination.
Reform UK are questioning the integrity of the Gorton and Denton by-election. They sound very Trumpian and conspiratorial here. It would be a very dangerous place to be in if Farage erodes a significant minority of our electorate’s trust in elections.
The betting markets have the greens odds on to win the Gorton and Denton by-election. Reform must not win this seat
