A gold star to Laurence Williams of Bexley, who is standing for election this May for the Greens - which I think is his tenth political party. It takes some political journey to stand for both UKIP and Rejoin EU. candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/6615/...

It's incredible that this week the largest leftist political commentator on social media, just casually doxed the addresses of some of the most prominent Liberal influencers, and there will be zero consequences, and these same people will expect us to embrace them.

It’s exactly the same pattern. It’s anything to avoid a confrontation - especially with people who admire him. It doesn’t matter whether or not he’s personally transphobic - or antisemitic - he gives space and legitimacy to people who are. That’s not leadership.

It’s been a source of great hurt that people didn’t believe Jews over Corbyn. It hurts personally that many of my friends were inherently suspicious of what I was saying about him because I’m Jewish. However - I am very happy to see he’s not getting away with it now with trans folks. Enough.

“Abase yourself in statements and with gifts” is visibly the right approach as a Trump hedge, but it needs to be paired with “wean yourself off US dependency so you aren’t going to have to still be doing this in 2048”.

Not the first person to make this point, but Labour have got a healthy voter base that most social democratic western European parties would kill for, and they pine for the voter base they had in the 20th century which a, doesn't exist anymore, and b, was when they lost by default

The underlying problem with having a "nuanced opinion on trans athletes" is that the status quo was already the nuanced view (typically a certain period on hormones, usually years post transition, decided on a sport by sport basis BY their awarding bodies), critics don't actually want that.

Ongoing pattern that extends from foreign students, to Governors, to CEOs. Presenting any information that undermines the state narrative is "hostile" with the implication that it will be punished with retribution from the state. This is the strategy of a weak regime afraid of transparency.

This was the wrap cover ("real" cover next page) of the Windsor Star, where Postmedia dominates w this one organ. Bald guy is mayor of windsor. Partially explains the Windsor result, as does vote splitting. But the decline of the NDP w working class has been a long slow process.

If true (I sincerely hope not), it would be a massive betrayal of the support we have made to Ukraine this week and signals to Putin, in bright fucking lights, that the UK is unserious about the protection and security of ourselves and Europe.

British sources said that it was deemed ‘too risky’ to send ground forces because of the risk of a wider conflict if a ceasefire deal with Russia broke down

These prisons in El Salvador seem to be somewhere between concentration camps and gulags, which makes it all the more surprising that the media is treating it as no big deal when people are sent there without even been formally accused of a crime, never mind found guilty in a court of law.

This is a straw man argument from Vance - who is simultaneously keen to apply massive tariffs, other economic coercion or even the threat of military action to bend other countries to Trump's will. Not that there's any proof that this guy is a "gang member", anyway.
