Brace yourself for the Crayola Right reducing Burnhamism to Communism tomorrow - and saying "it's never worked!" etc. ...like the last 30 years of privatisation & exploding inequality have been some roaring fucking success story.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Also can i just say as a higher rate tax payer, i really dont mind if No.11 want to tax me (and the rest of us) another £50 a month or pay for Social Care. If that can help somebody have a dignified retirement, I'm very happy to help.

I agree with this. He's staked out a position and put the pressure on the other parties to say why they're against things and what they'd do differently. It's intended to make Labour an undisputed leader of the left block and sweep up Lib Dem tactical votes

Big news from Labour Conference: the PM has announced the government's plan to scrap first past the post. Seats that match votes would change British politics for good, but only if it happens. I've added my name. Join me? action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/201578/...

The PM used his big speech to promise to fix Westminster's broken voting system.

Living in alignment with animal rights means recognizing all animals (both human and nonhuman) as individuals, not commodities. Liberation begins when we align our daily choices with basic justice. Never underestimate the power of your daily kindness to inspire real change!

This shouldn't even be debatable. So very sad and wrong that the views of the majority of decent, 'ordinary' people don't have proper representation in the right wing owned and controlled MSM. Labour governments are rare as hen's teeth, largely because of this.
