We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is.
We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform.
No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful.

The government has launched an investigation into “countering foreign influence and interference in UK politics”.
Which is fantastic news but they need to crack on with it now.

The fascists are organising a carol concert in London to "draw attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage".
What would Woody do?
Write an anti-fascist Xmas carol and sing it at the counter demo.

Why should young people participate in an economy that offers them no hope for the future?
The inter-generational bargain that kept British capitalism afloat has collapsed - and Labour is too busy listening to corporate lobbyists to do anything about it.

Keep going, Zack @zackpolanski.bsky.social - you're now being yelled at by the far right, the conservative Government and the official Conservatives.
A better future is possible; it's just not wanted by vested interests.
There is your best opportunity. And biggest threat.

All in one day:
Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.
Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.
And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.
Want to help create our better future?

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.
The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.
We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.
Reject the hate. Reject them.
This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.
