Will everyone please stop telling Corbyn and Sultana to throw their weight behind the Greens, I’d quite like the Green Party to succeed actually.

Yes Jeremy, ALL marginalised communities, now carry the 10...
Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory.
Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!
Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.

You expect me to believe that the NYC-based sex trafficker who catered to the ultra wealthy is somehow connected to the NYC-based real estate mogul who was his good friend and repeatedly expressed interest in adolescent girls?

The anti-Tory energy that won the PM a majority last year has gone. He needs to give his old supporters new reasons to keep him in office, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Nonsense! Spending a whole night just playing "Shortenin' Bread" on the piano over and over without stopping is perfectly neurotypical behaviour, as is quitting touring because you can't handle the sensory overload, or writing songs about how you like being alone in your room.
"Autism didn't exist until 15 years ago." :reads the latest remembrance of Brian Wilson that also mentions his obsession with "Be My Baby" and keeping multiple copies of the song at his house, in his car, and various places, and his habit of listening to it on repeat for hours:

By pure coincidence, I listened to Pet Sounds yesterday. It’s about as close to a perfect album as you could hope to make. It’s probably the crowning jewel of popular music, its Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Thank you, Brian. Sail on, sailor.

Instead, they've played the same old game as their predecessors: far-right rhetoric, some insulting & painful policies for immigrants, and then, you can bet your life on it, a continuation of immigration flows as an economic necessity. Cowards.

It's true.
that seems like a subset of the fact that the set of "people who have been in Fairport Convention" is larger than the set of "people".

So the message I'm getting from this is that the Tories have fucked themselves and their core base is continuing to just jump ship to Reform. And Labour have fucked themselves as the bigots they're chasing just jump to Reform, while the non-bigots are being driven away to the Lib Dems and Greens.

Labour's base-punching strategy reminds of the Seinfeld episode where George is so obsessed with making Jerry's girlfriend like him (she clearly hates him) that he neglects his own girlfriend (who does like him) and she leaves him

Do you reckon the anti-trans stuff might just have been one component of the broader far right, and that by enabling it you've made the far right stronger?
Trans people told you we were just the start of a wholesale attack on human rights. We are just the lowest-hanging fruit.
They are coming for a much larger group next…
