Big lesson for me is seeing how Mandelson being influenced as business secretary while unelected and using a wholly undemocratic setup to implement policy. This is men who believe they have the power to arrange whatever they want, however they want it.

And actually, many are condemning Green policies that would produce better equality - calling them the politics of envy etc - so they don't even agree superficially

They may agree in public because it sounds good, but when put to the test deliver otherwise via half-hearted policies. Only the Greens have policies for really delivering that.

It sounded like a misquote from Laura - the Greens are not JUST for 'the tree-hugging middle class'. Everyone benefits from a more equal society, services that work and caring for the planet.

Unfortunately, it's Starmer's blandness in the face of the country's severe decline that's helping 'what's coming next' along

I saw a piece recently about authoritarian neoliberalism, and that's Starmer's Labour to a T. Resist, resist

It's absolutely right to remember the holocaust, and the many other victims of the Nazis and other genocides. We should know more about other victims by the Nazis, including trans people, and let's recognise, also, that the Greens are the best trans allies in politics right now.

So ironic if the only time the violence is taken seriously is when it's against a guy with a gun

So people are pretty sensitive about stalking. It's fairly horrific, and jokes about it play poorly

Your average stalking victim doesn't tend to go about in an armed gang in combat gear, assaulting and murdering people

Even people who are relatively comfortably off can get behind this. Inequality makes for a horrible world.

Even if the report was fair (unlikely), they found no evidence of antisemitism, just 'exaggerating the threat' of the Maccabi fans (not by the people of Birmingham, as was made out at the time). The police were too cautious. The way these politicians are speaking, you'd think there'd been a massacre

Typical Starmer - adopt a heavy-handed ban that limits normal people rather than take on the technocrats

I've seen this guy before :)
