A red (in every sense) from Liverpool. These days in not quite as blue as it was Wiltshire. Proudly “woke”/ “loony left” / “PC”/ socialist. OU Psychology student (definitely), ASD (probably).
Reflections on the Caerphilly by-election from @owenjones.bsky.social : how it shows the left can succeed if it gets its act together, and how the media exclude the left - regarding it as not legitimate.

“The decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans has been criticised across the political spectrum” – Sky News radio at 10.09. Confirmationthat media consider the left, those who don’t oppose banning racist thugs, and those not conflating Antizionism/antisemitism, as beyond the pale politically.

An insightful take (as ever) from @owenjones.bsky.social on what’s happening in Labour at the moment - how Starmer’s goons fear Andy Burnham, but we must beware how Burnham could just as easily veer to the right. youtube.com/watch?v=64A7...

A clear sign that you can write any racist abuse on X / Twitter nowadays and face no consequences. I reported this offensive response to one of @mrmarksteel.bsky.social ‘s posts and got a pathetic response from X.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

I reckon if Cooper declares Palestine Action a terrorist group we should get as many people as possible to declare themselves members.
Should say I have not runs this past PA so this is just a random thought rather than a specific call to action.
