Labour had 532,046 members at the end of 2019 under Jeremy Corbyn
Today they have less than 250,000 (10,000 less than Reform)
Starmer has destroyed the Labour Party. If you're still a member, why?

This is what taking the fight to Reform actually looks like. Underneath they’re just cowards full of poison and hate - call them out and don’t back down.

This is the monster many people want to lead our country.
These are the type of people who will be in Nigel Farage's Government, people who think LGBT people are 'dirty nonces' and should be arrested by the Police.

Perhaps if they’d spent less time on rubbish jokes at Zack Polanski’s expense and more time on analysis, they would have realised their stealth taxes will punish the poor and squeezed middle while letting billionaires off scot-free.
But my assumption is they already knew exactly that.

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas

I think we’ve forgotten that literally the whole of society is something we made up. It’s all shared myths, not irrefutable law.
That means it can change. Radically, if we choose.
Even if the powers that be will try every trick in the book to convince you it can’t.

I think this is exactly correct. And the same goes for recent draconian anti-protest laws, such as the police, crime and sentencing act. Was designed with future climate unrest in mind, but happily used to crack the heads of people who take exception to genocide.
One of the reasons (aside from divide and rule and racism) for politicians scapegoating refugees is the climate crisis they are doing nothing about will create hundreds of millions of refugees and they want to dehumanise them in advance.
I think our leaders are planning for climate collapse.
