Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

I think they probably knew they were setting fire to her chances, so I assume something else has been going on here.

This will de facto break down along racialised lines as much as class lines. And let's not pretend that isn't largely the point, whatever ministers tell the country, and indeed themselves.
Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War
3 years - if you're earning £125k+
15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher
Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

You're not asking trans people. You're asking all people. This affects us all. Anyone could be barred from services based on appearance. Since, surprisingly we all have a fecking appearance

Public options for essentials, strategic price interventions, investment in housing and childcare — this is antifascist economics. It tackles the material conditions that make authoritarianism appealing.

Just since 2000: the Iraq War, the Great Financial Crisis, killing the poors with austerity, Lybia, nuking Corbyn in cahoots with the Labour right, monstering asylum seekers, mainstreaming Farage, stomping on trans people, running interference for a genocide, treating protesters as terrorists, etc

Weird who gets an apology and retraction for Panorama episodes and who doesn't, isn't it?
The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?
Wrote this on it earlier this week:

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

I recall around 1990 an elderly supply teacher explaining to my class what war is actually like, macho mythology aside. The sound bullets make. Men crying for their mummys as they die on the battlefield. It's haunted me ever since, and certainly played a role in politicising me.
As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century
That direct link to realities of Nazism and other forms of oppression such as Stalinism or colonialism is now gone

This is what they’ll tell themselves alright, because it’ll be more convenient than admitting that they’ve fucked it by relentlessly attacking their own supporters until there’s nobody left who likes them or wants what they’re selling.

Call them cunts and tell them they get nothing. Spit in their stupid faces. Put extra Asians in the Christmas adverts and explicitly say you're doing it to fuck them off. Tell them *no* for once Jesus actual Christ lads. Not "this is unworkable" or "this is expensive". Just no.

The worldview requires that there be external and internal enemies and soft traitors who must all be disciplined by hard men doing purifying violence. You cannot say "look we got rid of the enemies for you, are you happy now?" That fully, fundamentally misunderstands everything going on here.

As we have been saying: Keir Starmer could personally machine gun refugees in the channel and *it still wouldn't be enough* because the entire point of the fascist worldview is to rage against the external and internal enemies of the people and the soft traitors who enable them.

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like they’re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose.

On the question of why everyone hates the current PM, here: this feels exactly right to me. And straight up, I do not feel like any replacement leader who would be tolerated by the press could do better than this. Possibly worse, if anything.
