The only acceptable Keynesianism to the Labour right is military / weaponised Keynesianism. Impossible to harness state capacity for jobs & infrastructure in eg the NHS, council housing, social care or education. But loadsa cash to funnel to arms manufacturers to build munitions that'll gather dust

Post from Keith Starmer

Increasing defence spending will bolster our national security and help to put more money in people's pockets.

By helping smaller businesses access this investment, we're opening up more opportunities for good, skilled jobs, making communities across the UK better off.

"True gender" is a phrase which shouldn't be in any objective judge's vocabulary. It ultimately reveals that it's not about particular body parts but about prejudicial belief in a metaphysical divinely ordained male/female essence.

Not trying to be obnoxious but I struggle to see how teaming up with a bunch of social conservatives is going to help us swerve “barbarism”?

We stand at a crossroads: socialism or barbarism. The stakes couldn’t be higher — we have to win.

That means making Your Party truly democratic: to democratise the state, and in turn, the economy.

I’ll always fight for grassroots, member-led democracy.

I had a mental health breakdown nearly twenty years ago and I got sent to a work coach months before I had any kind of talking therapy.

The Nobel Peace Prize was won by María Corina Machado.

Venezuela's opposition leader.

Her biggest policy, privatising Venezuela's Oil Reserves, the largest in the world, worth nearly $100tn.

Hmm... I wonder why she won?

As night follows day. They can tolerate a plucky outsider for now. But as Zack & the Greens grow in influence they will need to be cut back down again & the grey people in suits restored to their rightful place

It was partly for this reason that Corbyn was nominated in the 2015 leadership election. But as soon as the hacks got a non-briefcase politician capable of enthusing the young & politically disengaged, they immediately pivoted to 'no, not like that' & suicide bombed what they'd previously demanded
