Suggested plan for non-right UK parties:

1: Try making decisions / polices based on what is ‘morally right’ NOT what advisors say might win votes at the next election

2: Don’t be cunts. You won’t out-cunt Reform/Tories. Cunt voters won’t believe you and you will lose non-cunt voter trust.

In under 24 hours, Israel has massacred over 400 people in Gaza — including 174 children.

Words of condemnation ring hollow.

The UK government must end ALL arms sales, trade & diplomatic ties with a state facing genocide charges at the ICJ & leaders under ICC arrest warrants.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
