Piers' MO since the Gaza genocide has been to weakly discredit anyone who has an opposing view to him, only to get torn a new one. One guest after the next dog walks him. If Dan Hodges didn't exist, Morgan would've been my absolute #1 most hated British journalist (and there's many).

Connolly for President @catherinegalway.bsky.social · 14h

Well, Super Saturday was pretty super!

Volunteers came out right across Ireland to talk to their neighbours about why they’re voting for Catherine.

This election will come down to turnout, it’s so important that we all get out and vote on October 24. Start thinking about your polling day plans now

Harris is a cunting cunt. Vibes of a Gen-X former NME writer who LARPed as a leftist long enough to divert people from his centrist bastard ways. He is like the Guardian's token northern voice to offer them a bit of validation so they can say "look not all of our staff are from Kensington".

In the wake of a ceasefire, it’s important that those who can don’t stop talking about Palestinian liberation, a ceasefire is an acute and essential fix but doesn’t resolve the wider issue

What would you call homelessness and starvation in the richest country in history if not "brutality?" Read up on Friedrich Engels's concept of Social Murder. It's an idea sorely lacking in most Western people's thinking.

Capitalism is very badly flawed. The main advantage of it is that it offers more than just brutality and mass murder.

Where there's transphobes I'm sure some may also be soft Reform appeasers. Probably not as bad as Labour but those who think we shouldn't call their voters racist and they just have 'economic anxiety' (Ref UK is very middle class). Sure lot of them watch Gary Stevenson religiously so it tracks.

Hashtag Corbynites are also LARPers. The reasons behind it was a scam were sound, but I never used it, as a lot of those with it were more into creating a personality cult (and I backed JC's leadership and his re-election to his seat as an independent).

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

The English flag is like a KKK hood to me. You can't ever convince me it's positive. I feel anxious and my fight or flight response kicks in seeing them. So if you're an "ally" using them, you're not doing it for us, you're doing it for yourself - because it harms us.

Bit rich of some trade unions to be dismissive considering how the larger ones are still inexplicably affiliated to the vile Labour party.

Those hostile to social liberalism may be possibly those who think Reform voters aren't racist. Social conservatives are largely economically neoliberal anyway.

Vast majority of transphobes I've encountered are middle class white people. Among the left it's a view among some boomers, gen xers and those who are big into economic populism but are quick to dismiss any concern by minoritised groups as identity politics.

She was recently quoted saying not all Reform voters are racist and repeats the lie that they (largely middle class white people) are just disenfranchised by mainstream parties. Similar to what Gary "economics wanker" Stevenson says and flows from the same logic as the progressive patriot shite.

Especially as Zack's been conciliatory to her AND the Greens voted on a motion to proscribe IDF as a terrorist organisation. Though a motion, does it not give Zarah an indication of what direction GP members want?

She's diminished herself by naively attempting to make peace with YP.

N(ightmare on El)M Street @enigmameetssambol.bsky.social · 22h

Especially if they field ghoulish candidates (if they can get to that stage). Not only the transphobic landlords. The likes of Pamela Fitzpatrick or Laura Pidcock who seem as awful as any Labour or Reform politician.

When Corbyn was Labour leader he had every reason to point the finger at other party factions and media actively sabotaging him, with plenty of evidence of it. But YP's woes (while different in nature) are on them. It's like a less competent Alba Party or Change UK.

Her passive-aggressive cheap shot was so ignorant. On the anti-imperialist point, the Greens literally backed a motion to proscribe the IDF as a terrorist org. Gives you a clear sense of their direction. Apparently not Zarah who seems to be overcompensating for the weeks of YP fuck ups

Polanski has been impressive since he was elected Green (England & Wales) leader. He has a political and moral clarity that currently doesn't exist in mainstream British politics.

Also one of the few who's principled to take Nigel Farage to task while Labour rolls out a red carpet for him.

The Greens overhelmingly backed a motion for the IDF to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation. If that doesn't give Zarah an indication of the party's direction of traffic, then I don't know what will. Her post was needless point scoring.
