I do wonder sometimes if certain people in Labour have ever met the modern working class. I know in reality they have, but it never feels like it. Working people are overwhelmingly literate now! Most know people of other races! Many have gay friends or family! Some worry about climate change!

Fundamentally, the median voter has had a tax cut since 2010 and the result is that nothing works.

👀London's newest section of Cycleway!! This section of the Cycleway 4 extension - between Gallions Rd & Charlton Church Lane - is due to open this week. We've expanded our network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to 450+km today. And cycling across the capital is soaring🚲🚲🚲

I mean I'm hardly either a Putin or Jones fan but this is just basically true? The change from Russians being excited about democracy to being excited for Putin a decade later runs right through the fact their economy collapsed in ways we can't quite imagine.

Not entirely sure, seems to me an awful lot of Reform voters have a particular person in mind they want to fuck over.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

I have many thoughts about this story but one is that we are extremely blessed in England to have an education system where schools in poorer areas get more money. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/m...

I've said it before but I'd go even further: Our success on this front is disproportionately to the credit of the Conservatives and the British right, and that is part of why it is so distressing they've abandoned this in the past couple of years.

Government has spent years arguing in court that elderly Quakers sitting down and holding placards about Palestinian Action are, in fact, terrorists who must be treated as such. Meanwhile their reaction to these people is to stress that they understand their "reasonable concerns". Infuriating.

A campaign for *MSF* to be banned as a terrorist group (on the paper thin basis of claims about 2 past employees) is the product of the UK Govt being willing to divorce any meaningful conception of societal threat from its use of proscription powers. Govt needs to wake up to the madness of this:

This story is a perfect example of how broken reporting of the mobs roaming Britain's streets now is - and the political response. What would have been the appropriate response if this hadn't been a sports team? Trash the hotel? Force them out into the street? What about other people staying there?

There’s a lot that’s disgusting here but what stuck with me is the indignity of the visitors having to prove their bona fides to a puffed-up mediocrity like councillor Madgwick to gain his and the mob’s consent to stay in a hotel.

one thing I will add here is that I am relatively agnostic on the actual tactics needed to beat the far right, because they change across different national and temporal contexts in Hungary, the center-right beat the far right. in Canada, it was the center. in Spain, it was the left

The Dover blockade should have been dealt with by the police, but trying to make the far-right a problem to be dealt with primarily by browbeating normal politicians into deploying state power is doomed to fail. All of us, and I really mean all of us, will have to make uncomfortable alliances

This government reminds me of Joe Biden. Biden didn't want to be the prosecute Trump president, he wanted to pass an infrastructure bill. Burnham doesn't want to be the take on the hard right PM, he wants to do social care reform and devo. But you have to do the task you're set or face disaster.

I guess what I'd like but do not expect is some memory of this event. For next time the right wing press or politicians act horrified at some perceived leftist slight against The Troops they're just reminded that, no, we've seen their revealed actual values, they don't actually care; and we move on.

One leg of why frustrating peaceful protest is a bad idea is that if you create a reality where 8 pensioners in hi vis will go to prison for years for doing something but 300 people in masks won't be arrested, you are creating a pretty strong incentive for people to edge towards violence

Weirdly I think that people who hate Farage underestimate how widely hated he is. He's the UK's most unpopular politician. Usually people err the other way and think their views are more popular than they are but perhaps fear of a Reform government creates the illusion that they are unstoppable.

An under-appreciated line in that Channel 4 expose of Reform is Orr saying "We just don't have British resident donors...that would support us" (10'35" in). Reform's policies are not in the interest of huge sections of UK capitalism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXut...

The old right believed in the idea of permanent and involuntary obligations - indeed they were often obsessed by them - and the dividing line is that these guys entirely reject the idea that they might be bound by obligations to other people that they don't continuously consent to.
