My mother told me once that the trouble with socialism is once it has worked (pulled people out of poverty) they turn their back on it. When people are comfortably off they (think) they don’t need it so much.
But there’s others who need you to help them:
Don’t be selfish, be a socialist.

Tbh, I thought he was ok.
It must have been especially daunting.
Definitely needs to come across as keen, passionate but not aggressive, which will come with experience.
Of course I can just imagine what the papers will pick up on, especially GBNews.
The audience needs more time to get to know him.

And, to be clear, the only reason other Governments have put the pressure on is because of us.
The flotilla, the protests, all of it helps.
Don’t ever believe it’s because he has a peace loving heart.

hospitals or starvation or press.
The only reason Trump is reacting now is because Governments around the world have finally put on the pressure.
Because he knows he’d be next on the ICC’s list for an arrest warrant for selling arms to someone who has an arrest warrant for genocide.

I’d find it amusing if it wasn’t so utterly desperate.
To all those giving praise to Trump saying that he’s some great ‘peace maker’.
Let us get a few things straight, he wanted Netanyahu to win. He doesn’t care about hostages (other than US citizens), he doesn’t care about kids being bombed or

I’m sure he doesn’t but everyone else needs to hear it.

The largest part of welfare is our pension.
We’re already having to wait (or work as Zia Yusuf would like) for an extra 7 years we weren’t expecting to do when we started paying in.
So we can see where he wants to make savings.

I hope @zackpolanski.bsky.social takes each of Zia Yusuf’s list of accusations and deconstructs them one by one in the next few days.

On a lighter note I spent hours waiting in A&E to get a fish bone out of my throat. If anyone is wasting NHS time, it’s silly me!
But boy, was I grateful to the doctor who got it out and to not have a bill.

Health tourism? What health tourism?
You can’t just get treatment unless you have an NHS number.
Besides I feel proud when I know that our NHS has some of the best Drs and consultants who can help those who can’t get help anywhere else in the world.
People like Malala Yousafzai for example.

Maybe Jenrick should get out more, talk to people more, and become more human.

Cllr Dr Max Morris @maxmorris.bsky.social · 14h

I thought @zackpolanski.bsky.social was brilliant on #BBCQT tonight despite a hostile panel and personal attacks. Calling out fascism and racism rather than blaming immigrants, calling for a wealth tax rather than blaming poor and disabled people for needing a properly funded welfare system.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)
