Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.
But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

It's quite simple.
Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).
Because they are stealing all the money.
This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

If you want to abolish a tax on poor people you cut VAT.
If you want to abolish a tax that is almost entirely on Multimillionaires you cut Stamp Duty.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

Over the last 24 hours, has British TV mentioned that Tommy Robinson is a traitor serving Putin, as well as being a fascist thug, a venal grifter, and a convicted criminal?

Instead the Prime Minister spends his time defending the “best pals” of paedophiles.
He is a coward. He should resign.

This felt inevitable: an interview with Allison Pearson given top billing in the Telegraph.
Connolly suggests Starmer should relearn what freedom of speech means and "what the laws are in this country".
I think he knows but Connolly/Pearson clearly don't. No lessons have been learned in prison.
