So Andrew Cuomo posts this tweet saying that Curtis Sliwa was campaigning for Mamdani in March.

That’s a lie.

All mayoral candidates, except for Cuomo, gathered at a memorial for Covid deaths and to denounce Cuomo’s nursing home deaths.
I find the fall back easy but spring forward difficult so maybe just keep the fall back each year. 🤷‍♂️😉

Just a thought but maybe people should just ignore Matt Goodwin? Constantly going on about his utterly stupidity just seems to fuel it.

The bloke is a crank, let him do it to the void that is Xitter.

JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thinking that the US might be our main concern regarding new religious extremists.
Sounds like Trump plans to invade Nigeria after Venezuela.

The new crusades.
Wes Streeting? He’s more Tory than Starmer!
The United States has lost its way.
Complete insanity. Right in front of her daughter. This thug has no ID or anything.

What are we doing?

Jasmine Crockett on Donald Trump: “You will not get a 3rd term. And frankly you never shoulda had one term. You were never qualified to be president not once, but definitely not twice. You are a loser and unfortunately we all are being dragged down with you and your loser ways”
If you’re still driving a Tesla and if you’re still on Twitter then you fully support this racist arsehole. That’s who you are. Own it.

Crockett: You have a president who consistently is obsessing over two women of color that are members of the house, I don't know what black woman hurt him in his past, honey, but it is really taking him through it.
Tired of unionists telling us how we’re not so different from England. The absolute state of Westminster voting intent. #areyouyesyet
Labour hits their lowest ever poll rating with YouGov, level with the Conservatives on 17%. Greens at their highest ever.

Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dems and Greens now all essentially within margin of error of each other
There’s nothing democratic about giving a party more than its support merits. Perhaps they need to look at why they are so poorly supported.
They’re supporters views count but they don’t have sway on any other party. If there’s enough supporters they will get their way. By definition democracy will have whatever compromise the majority decide on.
Is the priority of the Green Party independence? And that’s the rub. The greens and SNP are political parties with obligations to membership and voters. I wouldn’t expect any political party to advocate voting for another.
Wasn’t there already Indy supermajority with the greens? I don’t blame them given how that worked out.

Perhaps the other parties that would like to be included in a super majority need to have a look at themselves and their priorities before suggesting they have the right to be included.
Because until all those things align exactly again it’s the last line of defence the uk government has. Anything else becomes illegitimate and will take longer. If people aren’t happy how the snp are acting they don’t need to vote but I think they’re right.

There is currently no viable alternative
