Problem there is that those still backing Labour would rather Reform win that any actually left wing party.

I think they can get to 20-22% in an election. Which could well come second. Can't see reform dipping below 30% with all the help the media and labour are giving them though.

Still, half their MPs won't turn up or will get suspended within weeks.

Those votes would go to independents otherwise. No one is voting Labour when their priorities are so close to Reform.

Many already did a "vote for the shit option to get the Tories out" and they just got more Tories. It's not a sustainable tactic.

Well it was decided that was happening quite some time ago now. The only escape would be a Reform implosion and a coalition. But Labour would rather Reform than join forces with the Greens.

Even when Reform are in power I bet labour spend more time attacking the left.

Who cares what he believes. We want good tournaments. They need to regularly be held in major footballing nations, where the infrastructure and weather can ensure a half decent tournament.

How else to achieve progress than for transphobes to take huge sums of money for regime comedy nights.

Shame for them really as Putin and the Express have a shitload in common and could be great mates.

Saw this one earlier. Of all the ways to get that message out there

He's not the only one either. Don't these people realise that whatever you write on a flag, most will still just see the flag, so you're adding to the fucking flags.

Feel like it's every industry now. Bigger and bigger money at the top. But impossible for the majority to get by, leaving us missing out on huge amounts of diverse art. Many will just never start now given the money it takes.

But I don't want all art to just be rich people's kids.

As if bullying ever went away. This stuff is always written by people who haven't been at school in many decades.

I was badly bullied. A) it didn't have any benefits. B) it'd be so much worse in the age of social media and camera films.

Think you're massively overstating her talent there.

There's no zen on any social media without doing something about the growing and dangerously comfortable bigotry. Whether it's racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia.

Let's at least start with not amplifying it, defending it or drowning it in false equivalence.

Does he ever explain exactly what fascist traits Farage is lacking?

Feels like centrism is built around only calling out fascism or genocide or any human rights abuses retrospectively. Ideally when mainstream enough to be profitable as a journalist.

Always find it ironic that such sweeping statements on lack of curiosity often lack the curiosity to consider different childhoods, income groups, access to education, disability and neurodiversity.

Another daft racist helping out more racist racists who'll turn on them.

Would have thought astronauts were too intelligent to slip into generalising whole generations.

Most jobs aren't space travel. Most jobs aren't dreams of any sort. And work life balance becomes even more important when the money is increasingly shit.

What system? He only has a formation.

Ade @adereynolds.bsky.social · 6d

If not now then when? Is there any line? Or is it tolerate any degree of racism and never call it out?

Because it seems labour can drive racism and racist rhetoric and then even the most minor criticism of Reform is too much.

If you keep up this shit and refuse to learn, you'll keep giving up elections.

Can't believe there's any debate. These people must think 99% of the world are stupid and lazy. And have no understanding of exponential wealth growth. Let alone all the hard working businesses forced under by Amazon and other billionaires.

Ade @adereynolds.bsky.social · 7d

There's a huge resistance to things getting better for younger people. A big spite vote to ensure they get worse. And huge suspicion of anyone who wants to improve things, work hard for that, do volunteer work or activism.

It's easy to be right about not being a bigot. I seriously doubt she, like most other people, expects to be right all the time about more complex stuff.

So they are anti pro anti fa

It's also a logical failure even if you accept the insane greed and lust for power. Capitalism will collapse if the majority of people have no capital.
