We don't have to push children into poverty.

We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled.

We don't have to aid and abet genocide.

For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore.

We have yet to solve the problem Socrates noted about democracy Millenia ago. The issue is not those that rule, but in those that allow themselves to be ruled. Right wing of left. They are the same bird. We are held hostage to the whims of those we gave our social capital to.

If you were going to get together when Jeremy gave the signal, why not get together anyway? Stop waiting for a messiah. Build community groups and regain your own voice!

Great statement by @khalid4ewh.bsky.social this is a madness. How does the world respond to pull us out of this never ending spiral?

On LBC discussing Trump and Iran.

Not only was the bombing against Int'l Law, it was also unconstitutional in the US since Congressional approval would have been needed.

Are countries really go to play by the rules if the US and Israel just keep breaking them?

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social at today's Merseyside Community Independents rally:

"I am determined there will be, in short time, a strong, alternative, democratic, socialist, left wing voice that brings people together"

"We are one! And we want to be one!"

Would you join such a movement?

Long day. Ended with an invite to the PTB (Belgium Workers Party) headquarters for celebration as they officially joined the European Left Party.

It feels like the left everywhere are coalescing with recognition that the right are united. We desperately need to do the same.

Young people to choose poverty or be cannon fodder for the imperialists.

Unfortunately I was aware when the war started but the imperialists war dance was so great no one cared that these groups were slaughtering whole villages. Muslims will be blamed for the actions of western backed ISIS & Al Qaeda

The previous President was happy to commit genocide. This one is wanting to carry out ethnic cleansing.

We must organise as evil is running this country and the world. Transformpolitics.uk

Israel has bombed Jenin in the West Bank. This act or Terrorism will go unpunished by the west. Israel is a terror state. We need to organise lest this world is dragged into hell.

At the counter demonstration against the march of Tommy Robinson's supporters.

To truly counter the rise of far-right we need a national left alternative rooted in communities.

Been a little inactive recently as I struggle to maintain the pace. The cause won't be won soon. We must prepare for the long term and that means need to take care of ourselves and each other.
