Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”

The Left party (Die Linke)'s win in Berlin's state election on Sunday received so little attention in UK media . When AfD won in Saxony-Anhalt 2 weeks ago it was covered like the 2nd Coming ( perhaps in some sections of UK media it is 🙄 ) but I would also like know about progressive wins in 🇩🇪 too .

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

Astounding story. Reform receives a *second* £36m donation from a crypto billionaire in 48 hours. Christopher Harborne- the £5m benefactor- has matched Ben Delo's money pound for pound. £72m in total. Approaching US politics sort of money. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat. Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & it won't make a difference to bills in the UK. We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Labour got Gaza wrong.” Those were Burnham’s words. Yet just weeks into his premiership, at least 10 military flights have left British bases for Israel. If Britain has nothing to hide, then there is one simple thing to do: explain. What is being provided to Israel? And why?

Drilling for oil and gas will absolutely not lower bills. It's sold on the international market. And the idea of this being for jobs is utter nonsense. Jackdaw would create about 27 jobs. So when is the moment Andy Burnham will take the heatwaves & the climate crisis seriously?

Any Burnham says he will stick to "the existing fiscal rules". Rules which neutered the state & delivered Potholed roads PFI infrastructure Huge NHS queues Privatisations Poverty Deindustrialisation Lower healthy life expectancy Low investment in productive assets and low productivity Must change.

Andy Burnham can’t transform the country while sticking to the current fiscal rules
Sticking to the 2024 election manifesto and fiscal rules will make it harder for him to deliver the headline promises and the change that he has paraded.

The recurrent accusation of "dragging Britain back to the 1970s" is so funny. Oh, no. Imagine leaving the amply sized house that you own on an average salary to go to your unionised job for life a mere 3hrs before consuming the 3-4 pints it is socially acceptable to drink at lunchtime.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism
