An absolute disgrace of a campaign run by Labour in Gorton & Denton. That alone is a reason why major heads must roll. The Labour Party can no longer silence dissent. It must listen to its left MP critics and talk with those like the Greens and fight Reform UK.

Good that Labour parliamentarians @johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social and many others have moved quickly urging the Home Secretary to drop the ban on Palestine Action that has proved “extremely counterproductive to public order, community cohesion and trust in the Government”

Mandelson stitched up Labour in Parliament to be compliant to Starmer and his appointment as Ambassador. My CLP was denied a fair selection and was ripped apart by such factionalism. As Mandelson & others are removed Labour must undo that purge. That is its only hope. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

VP Vance had initially joked about the day’s events where Musk had called for Trump to be replaced by him - needing 2/3 of Congress. 3 hours later (midnight in Washington) Vance is compelled to stand by Trump. It would be good to know of the exchange between Trump and his VP in those three hours.

‘Strangers’ is such a strange word to use in politics. Racism is often easier to understand in French.

I joked yesterday on the coincidence that Pope Francis died soon after seeing Vice-President Vance. With another leading Trumpite Congress representative Marjorie Lee Green gloating on God’s vengeance on the Pope in this way, you got to wonder was it a total coincidence?

Amusing take from NewsThump but just what pressure was brought on Pope Francis’s staff to force Vance’s grizzly visit? And how will Catholic Americans respond in the wake of such insensitivity? @newsagents.bsky.social

Advice to seriously ill world leaders - avoid meeting would be dictators. Heaven knows how Vance got his meeting with the Pope yesterday - what threats were made etc. But sadly it was too much for the poor old guy who from the picture at least was not happy about the meeting.

It was good to unroll our #TeslaTakedown banner - seen in pics- at the Nottingham protest to the transphobic attacks following the UK Supreme Court decision this week. Over 500 protesting in a wonderful display of solidarity and opposed to hate. Thanks to @nigelking.net for pic of our banner

We were out again in Nottingham, UK. In solidarity with our American comrades to end Trump and Musk’s power. To do a #TeslaTakedown, to stop deportations, to fight in defence of jobs & services from Musk’s destruction and to #StopTrumpVisit Solidarity #HandsOff #50501 @hollyqueenofspayeds.com

Trump says he is coming on his state visit in September. NOT if we have anything to do with it! #STOPTRUMP #STOPTHEVISIT

We have to give solidarity with our American comrades in their battle to stop Trump. It impacts on the future of Ukraine, Palestine and all of us fighting oligarchy, racism and capitalism everywhere

Close to 50 @unison.org.uk Health Care Support workers out on the picket line at the QMC. Five initial strike days now started. They have gone above and beyond providing clinical duties above their grade since Covid. Time for recognition and fair pay!

We’re doing it again next week! Watching the #HandsOff protests yesterday lifted the spirits of all who champion democratic and human rights across the world. We can’t stop now!

After our 2nd #TeslaTakedown protest yesterday we are planning our third protest next Saturday 12Apr, 11am in West Bridgford, Nottm. Watching the huge demos across the US yesterday, we can’t do anything less. Solidarity with American workers, migrants and minorities!

We had our 2nd #TeslaTakedown event in Nottingham in UK. This time over 30 people - talking with Tesla customers inc from California outraged what Trump & Musk are doing. Fantastic street response. We continue to build international solidarity on this #HandsOff2025 day of protest.

Another protest today of Notts @ukfost.bsky.social today @ 1pm. The opponents in Israel of Netanyahu’s war face a similar battle to that in the US agin Trump & Musk. Both gov’ts contain fascists and can unleash new levels of state violence- only democratic resistance of their peoples can stop them.

Pete Radcliff @peteradcliff.bsky.social · 29/03/2025
The labour movement must step up their opposition to Trump, their support for US federal workers sacked by Musk and for migrants cruelly being deported. Are you listening Prime Minister Starmer? Cancel the state visit!

We guessed how widely disliked Musk is - but the extent on the day surprised us. We’re repeating it next week

80 people at various times joined our #TeslaTakeDown protest in Nottingham in the UK. Car honking (requested) was at times deafening. We are in solidarity with our comrades in the US facing wild threats from Musk & Trump.

In a somewhat desperate attempt to undo damage of Starmer’s stupid invite to Trump to meet the King, now everyone who Trump insults is being invited. Expect Trump-like escalation - riding in the golden coach? demanding appointed as Charles’s heir?

Pete Radcliff @peteradcliff.bsky.social · 07/03/2025
Trump wants Putin to be victorious! No politician - not Starmer, Macron or anyone can pretend Trump has any interest in peace. Trump helps Putin destroy the democratic liberties of Ukrainians. He will do it in the US or anywhere. He is a fascist. For peace in Ukraine or anywhere means- defeat Trump!

Pete Radcliff @peteradcliff.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Wouldn’t it be an idea now to accept what @maitlis.bsky.social seems to recognise. Trump is on a mission to destroy any international accountability. And Putin knows they have an ally on that with Netanyahu

Pete Radcliff @peteradcliff.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
Two shocking, possibly related events. Musk calls for the US to leave both NATO and the US. While Lavrov accuses Zelenskyy of being a Nazi and Ukraine of building a neo-Nazi state / trying to lure Netanyahu and fascists in the Israeli government further into an alliance with Russia.

Pete Radcliff @peteradcliff.bsky.social · 20/02/2025
I understand why the Morning Star won’t criticise Trump/ Farage for their policies on Ukraine but you’d think Labour election strategists would want to be piling in on Reform on their alliance with Trump. I fear they won’t, as they are so busy copying rather than challenging Reform.

Denouncing as ‘the enemy’ the Party members who would likely consider themselves ‘progressive’ because as Glasman puts it they ‘despise the family, despise love’

What is a Labour Lord (and a Founder of Blue Labour) doing - being especially invited to and attending Trump’s inauguration? And then doing an interview endorsing the MAGA movement? 🧵 of 📹

In front of the UK flag, Andrew Tate talks about the ‘Matrix’ he claims Trump helped break-out from. The ‘toxic masculinity’ he believes is needed to defend our borders! All to Galloway’s nodding dog. Galloway’s fusion of ‘red’ populist politics with brown fascist ones is pretty much fully brown now

Yep, that is undeniably an intentional Nazi salute. No-one wants to lose contact and community links but we have to get as many people off X as quickly as we can. We cannot trust how far this man will go. And the best alternative is this, @bsky.app at the moment.

Pete Radcliff @peteradcliff.bsky.social · 18/01/2025
What happens in Israel in the next 6 weeks is crucial. Give solidarity to Standing Together and stop the racists in & out of govt as well as unaccountable militias, sabotaging peace. Only peace can bring security, equality & liberation. We’ll be out on the streets every Sunday, 1-1:30pm in Nottm

And this is Elon Musk’s response 👇 - criticising the sentencing of the neo-Nazi to his vast following on the platform (X) he has engineered to amplify his views. We have to get as many people off that platform in real life and on safer media

Coverage by Paraic O’Brien of @Channel4News.bsky.social of the disposal of 100s of 1,000s of bodies of Assad’s victims in mass graves is amazingly powerful journalism. The calculation of the scale of the horror. The distressed testimonies of witnesses. Assad must not be allowed to evade justice.

No longer the self-proclaimed (though hypocritical) advocate for oppressed Palestinian people. From now on an undistracted apostle of Putin! The left, the workers movement revolutionaries in the Arab world, are all better off in his absence.

Then why this👇equivocation in the article? Like you, I think Starmer has no choice - if he wishes to maintain credibility. But you put similar equivocations - that whatever government does must not ‘risk our US relations’. This isn’t about “virtue-signalling”, but necessary & honest foreign policy.
