I understand why so many Americans are angry at Trump. But the real question is why so many Americans voted for him. Once Trump is gone, his voters will still be there. His SCOTUS will still be there. Trump is a symptom of a deeply fucked up society. Things aren't just OK when he is gone.

Unless the UK implements some solid Keyesianism, it it fucked. Starmer, Burnham and Streeting are all beholden to evidence free neoliberal dogma.

Streeting is basically Starmer 2.0. People are fed up with Starmer's neoliberal continuity policies. Streeting will be Starmerism with a different face. If the PLP chooses Streeting, it might as well have stuck with Starmer. It's suicide for the Labour Party.

It's almost as if @teamlabouruk.bsky.social *want* to lose the Senedd election. Refusing to devolved policing, then telling Wales to shut up when it rightly complains about unfairness in infrastructure spending. I think Starmer and his team actively hate Wales.

<quote>Twenty-seven of the 46 Council of Europe members including the UK, Hungary and Italy</quote> When you're on the same side as Meloni and Orban, you're a fascist. Starmer seems to love a fascist. Trump, Orban, Meloni. Starmer is the most dangerous UK PM since 1945. #UKLabour

Only 17% of people who voted Labour in Wales last year believe Labour will stand up for Wales's interests. That is a shocking failure for Welsh Labour.

On @teamlabouruk.bsky.social arguing that one must be able to speak English to live in the UK. English isn't even a de jure official language. But Welsh and Irish are. Starmer is a bigoted English nationalist who wants to expunge the native languages of the UK.
