This is why David Graeber called the political Centre “extreme”. These guys want to attack the LEFT when the fascists are quite literally at the door now. A monstrous refusal to contend with reality. #FabienSociety #Labour #extremecentrism

A letter from Labour MP, Richard Burgon, to the Guardian.

“The Fabian Society's Joe Dromey could not be more wrong in arguing that the Labour leadership should attack the Greens and Reform UK as representing
"twin populisms" (Zack Polanski offering voters fantasy solutions, says head of Fabian Society, 31 December). Dromey dismisses the Green party's support for a wealth tax as a "fantasy" policy. Yet this is a policy that eight in 10 Labour voters support. I have been campaigning for wealth taxes for years, and large numbers of Labour MPs now back such a measure.
Dromey argues that a wealth tax could not fund all the investment we need in our communities. But that is not an argument against it, but to make it part of a wider package of reforms to tackle the deep inequality that scars our society. A wealth tax of 2% on assets over £10m could raise £24bn a year. Equalising capital gains tax rates with income tax and imposing a windfall tax on the super-profits of the banks could take that total closer to £50bn.
This would not only provide vital resources to support people still hit hard by the cost of living crisis and to fund our public services. It would also send a clear signal that a Labour government is prepared to act against our broken economic model.
While a tiny elite get ever richer, the living standards of the vast majority have stagnated since the bankers crashed the economy over 15 years ago. With growth weak and unlikely to improve without structural change, Labour must grasp the nettle of redistribution.
Dromey's approach is also a political dead end. Labour is losing more voters to the Greens, and to those saying they will not vote, than it is to Reform. Losing those voters risks opening the door to Reform victories. Calling on the Labour leadership to reject popular social democratic policies is not only a moral mistake but an electoral one.

“Democrats brutally mocked for holding lame candlelight vigil on January 6 anniversary” [See Youtube video.] We have no leaders. We have to work out how to save ourselves. #Venezuela #Trump #Democrats #Jan6thvigil #neveragain

An image that contains the following text: A candlelight vigil, eh? For not taking the necessary action over the Jan 6th insurrection when you had the power to do so?... There’s that phrase "Never forget" again... “Let's endlessly memorialise the past horrors we didn't stop at the time in order to provide cover for us not stopping them again as they recur in the present." Remembering as a form of forgetting.

This kind of thing is exactly the kind of empty, disabling performance that got us here. In an emergency these folks are performing thoughts and prayers, broadcasting an *image* of action that is designed to substitute any actual action, and thereby downregulate people's internal distress signals, whilst *nothing* about the urgency of the situation is actually changed. To call such behaviour merely pitiful or embarrassing is to downplay how damaging it is.
They’re anaesthetising us - and themselves as well - in a situations when being activated, and getting active, is the appropriate response. It's what they've been doing all along, but it becomes more obvious as the crisis deepens.None of these poor fools is a leader. They are really not smarter or more skilled than we are, no matter how many Ivy League degrees they have between them. At some point we're going to have to start working out how we save ourselves.

Incredible display of solidarity and humanity from Zaragoza yesterday. Palestinian flags all over the city. Un esfuerzo magnífico! Shame on the cycling world - every rider, team member, sponsor & journalist - for facilitating mass murder. #FreePalestine #vueltaaespaña #starvationisnotasport #Israel

A TV screen showing the finish line of the stage of the Vuelta España in Zaragoza - cyclists approaching and Palestinian flags being waved all along the roadside either side of the line.

Every “small” act of excusing Israel or avoiding it being held accountable led to this. #Gazagenocide #Israel #Palestine #Israelterrorstate

A commentary from Eman Abdelhadi, reading “Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said "not this way" to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops.
Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.”

How many Palestinian lives is one Israeli life worth? We’re up to at least 50,000 dead since October 7th 2023 and the bleeding hearts of Western “liberalism” are finally starting to get agitated: “Ok, you’ve had your ‘self-defence’; that’s enough now.” It wasn’t enough before. We can do the maths.

@urgencepalestine.bsky.social C’est la dernière étape à Gaza - plus de nourriture, plus de possibilités. 💔 Est-ce qu’il y’a une pétition ou campagne pour faire pression sur les politiques français à ce sujet? Je vous remercie. 🙏🍉

Yeah, anyway: this! Apparently a lot of people need help to have their heads unscrambled regarding the fact that being anti-fascist means opposing - and preventing - this.

In the midst of a fascist takeover across the world, threatening ppl’s lives in real time, the UK #Labour Party is aping fascism. This strategy demonstrably & consistently boosts support for real extremists - so who exactly is running the “Labour” Party these days?… #Labourforfascism #fightfascism

This is what’s on our agenda for today. Excited to join this international protest happening in Zaragoza - against fascism & for Palestine & climate justice. #freePalestine #Palestinalibre #zaragoza #cadenahumana
