“Things are bad for me now in a way they have never been for anybody ever in history or in the world” is a thought process rooted in both naivety and privilege. Please look to freedom movements across the world and learn how they survived and defeated extreme oppression.

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Ask yourself why people who think the closest Obama got to doing anything wrong was the tan suit and who have "Newsome😍" in their bio are grumbling and whining about Mamdani. They loved feeling like the good guys and now someone has made them admit they adore the status quo.

It makes me sad on a fundamental level that British institutions that are ostensibly supposed to be liberal like the BBC, the Guardian and the Labour Party have been completely hollowed out and ruined by transphobia and naked prejudice

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Labour policies are making everyone but the richest poorer & our infrastructure more decrepit, while the country gets more and more racist & hateful every week with Starmer endorsing it.
This isn't a "comms issue". It's a shitty government issue.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!"
m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

Corbyn and Zarah aren’t splitting the left. Labour told the left to fuck off in so many different ways you could write a longform essay on the topic.

The UK has finally sanctioned Smotrich & Ben-Gvir.
Good. Now sanction the entire Israeli government & military officials.
Genocide, war crimes, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, mass displacement & land theft aren’t just the agenda of two extremists — they’re official state policy.
