‘We need to unite to keep Farage out of Downing Street… But I too have purity tests for my rivals’

Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana.bsky.social · 1d

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

See what’s wild to me is that George is all about being confrontational and just cannot argue a point. Like there’s nothing behind the eyes there #bbuk

This is the maddest tour I've ever seen in my life. It seems like he's doing more gigs than there are days in the year.

Neither is 1.5 million readers. That’s tiny audience numbers.

What’s insane is that he’s bigging her up on 170k paid subs?! That’s… not convincing…

Stop asking broadcast journalists to write editorial for the web. They write like a 10 year old.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Nah, the first one should be “how does this align with the Good Friday Agreement?”

Any time a politician says we should leave the ECHR, the very next questions any interviewer should ask are
🚨Which human rights are you willing to lose personally
🚨Which methods of torture are you going to allow people to be sent to face
🚨Which family members would you be willing to lose

It’ll be UK only unfortunately. Non-UK only get Radio 4 and selected podcasts.

Most leaders in smaller tech orgs just… don’t. They often are promoted through technical skill and then assume having leadership over technology is the same skill as leadership over people and products. It just isn’t 🤷🏻‍♂️
