Maybe prospective councillors should have to do two weeks work experience as councillors to find out if it's role that they actually want to do.

Q: Why have we had one third of our post-war prime ministers in the last decade? A: The 2008 financial crash - and the political response - ended sustained improvements to living standards, public services and security. This bakes in permanently high levels of disillusionment.

Message from a Dr at St Thomas’ hospital:

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.
'I was the anaesthetic consultant on call at St Thomas' Hospital yesterday. It is on the south side of the bridge that these racists marched over for 5 hours; right under the windows of the hospital chanting their hateful, vitriolic, violent slogans.
It was not lost on me that in our emergency handover meeting of around 15 people at 8am, I was one of only two white British members of staff. The NHS would collapse without the remarkable work that colleagues who are immigrants and the children of immigrants do.
This "protest" was not peaceful as we know. Many broke through what were pretty puny barriers to get into the hospital grounds. Security (all non-white and being incredibly measured) had to fend them off at the main entrance. No police. No other help. Lots of very scared non-British workers inside the building. Lots of the staff on duty with me were really scared about getting home safely. Many booked rooms in the nurses' accommodation overnight because they didn't dare leave. I drove several to nearby stations to avoid what was by 5pm an intimidating, abusive, drunken rabble.
Our chief exec sent a weak email on Thursday saying, effectively, everyone is valued in our hospital. She was nowhere to be seen on Saturday.
Colleagues and I are going to write to her to say that the Trust's response before and on the day was wholly inadequate but I also think NHS leaders and the government need to denounce the overtly racist elements of the march (i.e. most of it) and publicly support non-British NHS
workers. They must stop equivocating for fear of offending a group of the electorate that they foolishly think might vote for them, and take a damn stand. They are leaving a vacuum for the radical right; either fight or step aside and let someone else try to save the soul of the country.

I was shocked to see lots of families with their teens proudly marching. People need to get involved and counter this appalling rhetoric. It's completely disgusting. We need to try to understand why they believe the far right's lies, counter those lies and offer a genuine alternative for ordinary people otherwise we will be in the US's shoes with Farage at the helm. I will do whatever I can to help in this cause but it is urgent. Labour are not doing anything effective. Those groups/parties planning to provide an alternative need to get their A's into G and start campaigning loudly. Farage spent the summer holding weekly press conferences while the government went on holiday.
I felt embarrassed to call myself British in front of my incredibly brave but distressed colleagues yesterday. I'd welcome everyone's view about the most useful steps that I and others who are equally appalled by yesterday and the rise of the far right here can most usefully do to fight back.
Wishing everyone a peaceful evening.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

It's taken the New York Times a decade to finally realize how the far right works. They amplify a handful of random posts by nobodies as a characterization of the entire left and then get outraged by it. That in turn drives media coverage and takes over the media cycle for weeks.

Screenshot of an article discussing online reactions to criticism of Ms. Sweeney and an American Eagle ad. It states that nearly three-quarters of critical posts had fewer than 500 views, but pro-Trump users amplified them through reposts and reshares. On July 27, large right-wing accounts like Libs of TikTok began reposting critiques, mocking them as examples of "triggered" liberals. The account, run by Chaya Raichik with 4.3 million followers on X, posted, “Keep this up Democrats. This is going to be great for you guys.”

The right-wing Blue Labour faction who have enormous influence over Keir Starmer are advising him to go all-in on US-style culture war bollocks by "rooting out DEI" to pander to Reform voters. There are multiple reasons that this is a deeply stupid and reactionary strategy.

open.substack.com

Imitating Farage's imported US-style culture war bollocks is an absurdly dense idea

Reform are beating Labour in the polls and pushing US-style culture war bollocks, so the idiots at Blue Labour are proposing that Starmer focus public attention on US-style culture war bollocks!

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

People have said wrestling is the music between the notes. I think an issue I have with modern WWE is it's often just five major notes and people spending five minutes between each one making shocked faces as announcers scream "HE PLAYED A NOTE. HE PLAYED A NOTE."

It’s interesting that literally every time these people are forced to consider the views of the electorate, the solution is always either lying to them or some form of shenanigans and fuckery

John Nosferatoul: Wes He Should
Wes Streeting, one of the few cabinet ministers who is actually delivering what the people want, has an interesting interview in The Spectator.
He says he will not go on a chicken run from his Ilford North seat, in which case he is likely to lose it - a pro-Palestinian independent came within 500 votes of winning last year, and Labour is unlikely to gain votes next time.
This is brave of him, but he should go to a safe seat because he is good. He has only just started the huge task of turning the NHS round, which will take more than one parliament, but he is doing all the right things - namely, bringing in Alan Milburn, Paul Corrigan, Michael Barber and Liz Lloyd (all the people who turned the NHS round last time).
He should abandon Ilford because his country needs him.

Elon Musk now has $400bn. That is enough to provide nearly 2.5m family homes. To pay a worker the minimum wage for nearly 30,000,000 years. If you earned $1 a second it would take 130,000 years to get this much money. It is disgusting and completely undeserved.
