Nah. Labour are literally saying they're not progressive. It's just an electoral business.
what Miliband told activists attending a

Labour fringe event organised by the soft-left pressure group Mainstream. "Too often in the past, we thought that kicking some of our supporters would do us political credit," he said, "and we were absolutely wrong." Offending people "in the progressive community", he admitted, was sometimes

done "deliberately".

I dunno, maybe making pensioners poorer will actually increase the burden on social care

Lucy Powell says the triple lock is good but in a few years it will be bad
■ We are committed to the triple lock. It's in our manifesto. The triple lock has really delivered for pensioners, in this country, over the course of this parliament ...

I don't know what Andy's going to say about that today, but I know that what he's talking about is this big conversation about solving these big problems, but being really honest with people that they come at a cost.Lucy powell aays Labour committed to triple lock for this parliament but won't say if it could go after election

the maddening thing is that none of this history plays *any* role at all in discussion of "welfare reform". There will be no questions about why all the other "welfare reforms" (ie. cuts) didn't work. Why the callous Tories, who actually HAD A MANDATE for cutting state support, couldn't manage it

This Labour government could have responded to the genocide in Gaza in so many ways, instead they cut aid. This is a dereliction of duty.

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.

I maintain my strong belief that “white feminism” in Britain is a fucking massive problem that continues to be ignored because I continue to see white British women who should know better uphold these other white women as some sort of ‘feminist icons’ and ignore their outright bigotry.

Well. What a week. The history of conflict in the Levantine Middle East stretches all the way back to the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans. To try to understand the clashes of cultures, religions and factions in this region requires weeks of heavy reading, almost always ending with the exhausted conclusion, “Wow — this is all very complicated. It feels like there maybe isn’t a straightforward solution to the whole thing after all.”
But the worst bit? I think we can all agree: it’s Ed Sheeran’s backing band quitting his world tour after things got heated on TikTokFor a super-online generation for whom Gaza is the defining issue, Sheeran is now being talked about far more than either Binyamin Netanyahu, who ordered the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza (unlike Sheeran!), or Khalil al-Hayya, the leader of Hamas, who helped plan the October 7 attacks (also unlike Sheeran!).

It's notable that all the people doing this aren't sharing anything from people on the left who are opposing what Bravemann said. They're pretending they're sharing what JRM says "despite" who he is, but they actually just like the guy.

It's all about carving a space for themselves (preferably monetised) where they get to look down on as many people as possible while nodding in the direction of other sensible men. I do think people who repeatedly mock sincerity are ultimately bullies
