The Left need to be attacking Privatisation in the same way that the Right attacked Nationalised industries.

Take back control from the thieves, force them out of business.

There should be no profit in Energy, Water, Housing, Healthcare or Public Transport.

Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA) just tried to be recognized on the House floor to move that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva be sworn-in.
McGovern was not recognized, he said, because Speaker Johnson don't want her vote to open the Pandora's box of the full, un-redacted Epstein files being published.

Tomorrow, October 7th, we will be subjected to a wall to wall propaganda campaign in the media designed to convince us that a very bloody militant attack justifies two years of systematic genocide against a captive population of 2 million. [Thread]

Well said Zack. But be careful, the establishment will be coming for you just like they did Corbyn. Don't give in to them.

Zack Polanski is a leader we can all get behind. Inspirational, clear, honest. He answers questions when asked. He has ideas and plans, and he has the knowledge to back them up.

The Israeli occupation continues its genocide despite calls to halt the bombing for the third consecutive day: 143 airstrikes in 72 hours left 106 martyrs in the Gaza Strip.

The govt should be investing in NHS staff, not putting doctors at the start of their careers on the scrap heap. These newly qualified doctors have run up massive debts to get to that point, & the govt is then saying, sorry, no jobs for you.

Starmer is Netenyhau's pet poodle.

Saul Staniforth @saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 1d

So Keir Starmer accuses people of protesting against his governments complicity in Israels genocide of being "unBritish"

What the UK govt is doing is exploiting the synagogue attack to attack & ban protests against the genocide they’re complicit in.

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged

Labour counters with their own unhinged policy

Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged

Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response

67,000 are murdered in Gaza our govt takes no action. One person is killed by a mad person (and one by a police man) in Manchester and our rights to protest the former on line and in marches must be stopped!! So says all Laura Koensberg's carefully selected guests.

“Ministers are to give police new powers to target repeated protests, aimed particularly at cracking down on demonstrations connected to Gaza, the Home Office has said.”

They’re enabling a genocide and silencing opposition. This is authoritarianism.

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests

The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

Not enough people talk like this to zionists, 2 years into a genocide. That's why I (and every Palestinian) still have assholes in my mentions accusing me of being antisemitic. By 1940 they held 11k German-Americans in internment camps in the U.S. because Germans in Germany committed genocide...

We will keep marching.
We will keep organising.
We will keep speaking up.

Until there is a permanent ceasefire.
Until the siege is lifted.
Until the occupation ends.
Until apartheid is dismantled.
Until the perpetrators of genocide are held to account.
Until Palestine is free 🇵🇸
