Nope... not an endorsement. Just using Musk (worlds richest man, prominent fascist's) website as default. You know... making him money, generating traffic on his site. Not endorsement perhaps but its bizarre to me that she wouldn't boycott it?

The Greens can't be a mainstream party of the UK left if they allow people like Stats for Lefties to be part of it. @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social any comment on this? Do you agree or disagree with the pinned tweet? What do you think it says about the party that she was elected?

Michael J Lewis @mrmjlewis.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

It is absolutely WILD that the tweet directly beneath this is her announcing she was elected to the @greenparty.org.uk 's governing council. This is exactly the kind of thing that stops the Greens from becoming that mainstream party that they could have. Shame.

Being racist to people providing healthcare, the most patriotic thing a person can do in my opinion, is the clearest example of how this wave of “patriotism” we’re being told to accept was never about patriotism It’s white nationalism, pure and simple

When highly unpleasant people die, it is polite not to remark upon their great unpleasantness. But we do not have to pretend to think that they were a decent person.

I'm sure Wes Streeting is briefing he will be Chancellor but I'm struggling to see it. He is not just politically on a different wing of Labour to Burnham, he also is a big character who wants to be PM, who will compete for space and narrative. The obvious choice to me... John Healey.

This is bullshit I'm afraid. As a queer left-wing Jew am I meant to pick? It is not a competition. It is awful that there hasn't as strong a response to homophobic attacks. You can campaign for better without pitting communities (which intersect) against each other. This is whataboutism at the least

Antisemites pretending to be antizionist: “If the Jews that don’t live in Israel - and have nothing to do with Israeli government - want to be safe and not stabbed or attack in the street or at synagogue they simply have to denounce Israel 😘” If you want a formula for creating Zionists, this is it

And just to say, before allegations start about intentions, as a Masorti Jew I can’t even get married in Israel as a Jew - or buried in Israel, for that matter For ‘right of return’ I’m alright, but I’m not viewed as equally Jewish as Orthodox Jews Israel is deeply, deeply flawed But exists!

Last thing I’ll add is: Jews time and again throughout history have been genocided en masse over and over and over again - including in living memory If your intention is to convince Jews that having a Jewish state is not necessary for survival, you might wanna start by not being antisemitic 🤷🏽‍♀️

Does thinking China has the right to exist - or even ordering stuff off Shein or Temu - mean you support the genocide of Uyghur Muslims? For the average person, it doesn’t For a certain type of progressive it does when it applies to Israel (except when it comes to Israel tech in iPhones etc)

I find the idea that believing in the existence of a state meaning you support the government bizarre Does thinking the US has the right to exist means you support Donald Trump & ICE raids? Does thinking Russia has the right to exist mean you support Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?

In my personal life, I do not know a Jewish person who is a Zionist and approves of the current Israeli govt Millions of Israelis themselves also detest the current government - hence mass protests and the fact Netanyahu is relying on extreme religious minority parties to prop up his government

All rampant antisemitism, demonisation, and mischaracterisation of Jews and Jewish intentions does is further cement the belief (informed by millennia of genocide & persecution) that Jewish people can never be safe unless there is a Jewish state That is why 99% of the Zionists I know are Zionist

Oh I’m not blocking you, I’m sharing this for the world to see MMost Jews in Europe do back Zionism and do support the existence of Israel (largely because of rampant antisemitism and fear of annihilation) Most Jews do not support this Israeli government or this “expansionism” that you speak of

If I lived in Gorton and Denton I would probably be voting Green. I think they are the best bet in that seat to beat Reform. Labour is deeply unpopular and its a mid parliament by-election.

Millions of Americans didn't vote for Trump and people, particularly the most vulnerable across the US, are suffering under tyranny. Directing anger at the administration and supporters is more than deserved, but US/European citizens blaming and scolding each other hurts us all, and helps nobody.

Michael J Lewis @mrmjlewis.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

And its also worth noting that regardless of whether Trump flip-flops on this in the future, the damage is already done. NATO is weakened, Putin and Xi Xingping emboldened. The transatlantic alliance is de factor over. PM Carney is right that mediun powers need to band together.

Finding the reactions to this bleakly funny. Lads, the point isn’t that you are sending enough people to “win”, because we in fact, can’t win. It is just to have a tripwire! If you are going “why not 13, like Germany?” you have not understood how bad things are.

This. Greenland defense is a tripwire—putting various European countries’ personnel in harms way in an attempt to deter attack—not an effort to win a war with the US. A real Europe-US war would destroy the world. The goal is to not have one. Which was more than accomplished by a robust NATO. Alas.

The Labour Party has a tradition of antiracism campaigning. It’s supposed to be in the party’s DNA. That they cannot say it’s just straightforwardly wrong to alarm families who choose Britain to live, work and raise children in is a total moral failure.

The government is, y’know, the government. They could announce policies of their own in Monday’s papers, which the media would cover. But instead they just leave an endless news void, and end up chasing their tails trying to keep up with Reform on its strongest issue. It’s woeful.

The President Musk narrative is absolutely going to tank the Musk-Trump relationship. You have two narcissists who will be competing to show that they, in fact, are the one in charge. The relationship ending badly (and probably quickly) is inevitable.
