I can't be sure that Your Party or The Greens or Andy Burnham are the answer but I know that Labour, SNP, Tories, and the Lib Dems brought us here and that Reforms road map leads to further division, racism and privatisation!

We only have a small window to drag ourselves back from the brink!

Centrist are addicted to neo-liberalism. Neo-liberalism has brought us Trump, Farage and countless other far right nationalists.

Like any addicts, if you don't or can't admit you have a problem and got things wrong there is no hope of change and fuck me do we really need change more than ever.

Reform received a £100,000 donation from a design & architecture firm that faced a winding-up petition from tax authorities earlier this year

It has also twice been the subject of strike-off attempts by Companies House after late filing of accounts

Tax dodging becoming a theme

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.

Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.

Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.

The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

64% of Israelis think "there are no innocent people in Gaza."

It gets worse.

That figure includes the 20% of Israel who are Palestinian citizens. 92% of them disagree.

So that means Jewish Israeli overwhelmingly think there are no innocent people in Gaza.

Israel is a nuclear armed genocidal rogue state.

It is allowed to commit every war crime under the sun - armed and facilitated by the West.

Yet you hear so few people saying these truths on TV.

Here's what I said this morning.

Funny, non of the "Israel has a right to defend itself" crowd are saying "Iran has a right to defend itself".
Maybe they don't give a living shit about rights and international norms after all?

Disappointed that @eisunion.bsky.social AGM voted down a motion to stop using X. Arguements for staying were thin at best. Engagement is negligible, effectiveness debatable, and, the owner made a Nazi salute that the whole world saw. There is a reason don't engage with the right wing press!!
