if you don't want to care about "identity politics" then that's your decision of course, but don't pretend you can do that and still call yourself a socialist, because it means you are turning your back on the most vulnerable & discriminated against members of the working class.

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

every death from poverty, anywhere in the world, in the 21st century is a death caused by Capitalism.

Capitalism is the only reason we do not provide for all humans, what they need to survive; food, water, shelter, etc.

Capitalism has a death toll in the hundreds of millions, if not billions.

poverty shouldn't exist in the 21st century, we have the resources to provide for all humans, we just don't because we have powerful people and groups who seek to hoard far more than they will ever need at the expense of others having even the bare minimum they need to survive.

nobody in the UK should be so poor that they cannot afford to eat or drink, not in a country where such obscene wealth exists, we have multi-millionaires, billionaires and corporations worth billions as well, we have a moral duty to ensure the well being of ALL people who find themselves here.

I think we'd all consider it if we were that hungry or thirsty tbh, humans have a survival instinct that is one of our strongest impulses, forcing humans into that situation is barbaric, that's what we should be talking about, why do we have such poverty in a country as rich as the UK?

The Headline smear, what Polanski actually said.

Mr Polanski, 42, said he too would 'consider shoplifting' if he also had no other option to earn money or obtain food.

Zack Polanski said people who steal because they do not have much money should be shown compassion

to say I don't trust Trump and Netanyahu is a massive understatement, we all want the ceasefire to hold and lead to a real end to the suffering of the Palestinians, but I can't see that actually happening without regime change of a radical kind in both Israel and the USA.

One of the men in this photo was recently convicted of taking Russian bribes while serving as a UKIP MEP & then briefly as Welsh leader of Reform. Farage in Caerphilly today has claimed that Gill was a 'bad apple' & he had no idea....

Typical Question Time then, Fiona Bruce is basically a groupie for Farage.

not watched it yet but will do later on today, glad to hear Zack did well!

we should treat the denial of any genocide the same, the only reason to deny or downplay the mass murder of any group of people is prejudice against that group of people.

that should be completely unacceptable in any decent society.

Greta Thunberg should win the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow.

Imagine how much Donald Trump would rage.

Delicious!

An idea so stupid that only one other country has attempted it.

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

Another Labour cabinet minister who can't be arsed to buy his own football tickets on his six figure salary. His constituency has no link to Sunderland - he personally went to college there so this is an entirely personal benefit. Jonathan Reynolds, this stinks

Ofwat isn't fit for purpose and nor are the corrupt government who are allowing them to do this shit.
saulstaniforth.bsky.social
The regulator Ofwat has ruled that 5 private water companies can raise bills by even more than previously agreed

A reminder that despite promising to nationalise the water industry Starmer dumped that pledge &decided to side with the private companies instead. This is the result

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... - media and politicians stoke division and hatred for their own gain and this is the result, rising hate crime, rising intolerance, rising discontent.

the UK is headed down a very dark path, if we don't change course I dread to think where this leads.
Race and religious hate crime rises in England and Wales, figures suggest
The number of police-recorded race and religious hate crimes have increased in the year to March.

Capitalism is the enemy, Capitalists are the ones who have the power and wealth, they are the ones who will put the rest of us down materially and rhetorically whenever they can to protect their interests, they are the ones who get their paid lackeys in the press to demonise minorities.

Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years"

The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

Kemi Badenoch's downfall is going to be a pleasure to watch tbh, she is a nasty piece of work.
