Let's get metaphysical: could an ex-philosopher be the new Burnham? The old guard have to realise they weren’t going anywhere. They shouldn’t get in the way of a new, dynamic party. The recent heatwave indicates the urgency of the project.

I’m old enough to remember when the question was “how many students can fit into a mini?” Now it’s “how many Muslims can fit into a voting booth?” Are they being serious?

What Monoparty politics doesn’t want you to understand, is that crack dens don’t spontaneously generate from the æther, they come about due to social, economic, and systemic issues—none of which they have any interest in solving.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

300 million workers just shut down india. 
The largest strike in human history, and most of the western media barely whispered it. That silence is complicity in Modi's war on workers rights. 
India's general strike is the future that the billionaires and ruling class fears most

Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it. But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy. Both present major threats to public life.

Georgia Gould on Today, tries a little variety in defending Starmer. No longer a ‘decent man’ he is now a ‘man of great integrity’, upping the ante a little. He’ll be ‘the blessed’ Keir next and any dissent will be heresy.

Justin Webb on theToday programme tries to spin Mandelson scandal as ‘men in the Labour Party’. We need to understand how culpable these so-called journalists are in the parlous state of our democracy by skirting over obvious conspiracies against elected representatives of the people.

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "I can just confirm to the House, under my leadership [of Labour] Mandelson had no role, no influence & no part to play" It was precisely because Corbyn didn't represent the interests of the ruling class (like Mandelson did), that his leadership had to be destroyed

Holy dogshit, just reading that another person considered by Starmer for the US ambassador gig was George Osborne. Mr Austerity always seems to turn up alongside Mandelson in social circles—including this trip to Corfu, where they were chilling with a Russian oligarch & a Rothschild. Sounds legit
Osborne was another name in the hat for US ambassador Mandelson and Osborne partying in Corfu

They are fitting up the Richelieu of County Cork to be the fall guy for the Mandelson-Epstein saga, despite the fact that Starmer persistently obfuscated on the matter, & is personally responsible for recommedning ambassadorial appointments to the King, who then formally ratifies them.
Labour MP: "Consistent failures by Morgan McSweeney have damaged our media operation and left the public unaware of much of what we've achieved in government.

"The Mandelson saga has only made things worse, and if Keir doesn't make changes soon, the PLP will.

"We've had enough."

Sir Keir was in the House of Commons professing his "full confidence" for The Lord Mandelson before a single tranche of the Epstein Files was released, & despite knowing about his relationship with the pædophile. He proactively went to bat for a deeply corrupted figure & is wholly unfit for office.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Compare the fates of Rebecca Long-Bailey & Louise Haigh—sidelined for tweeting & misreporting a stolen phone respectively—& The Lord Mandelson, who remains a peer of the realm despite lobbying the govt to change policy for the paedophile Jeffery Epstein. Is there something a bit two tier, here?

It is possible the creeping evil, the lies and the corruption that has blighted western politics in the 21st century can be attributed to Epstein and Maxwell and billionaire friends. The cruel misogyny was just a sideline for them.
