This is 13-year-old Oleksandr, Russia killed him in Kharkiv region💔🕯 The boy passed away in the hospital today from severe injuries after five Russian drones struck Katerynivka in the Lozova community on September 21.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

OK, Washington Post, enlighten me. What is the bright side of being a Nazi?

Washington Post headline and subhead: "She helped lead a far-right internet movement. Then it turned on her. Inspired by female conservative influencers, Amy Dangerfield worked to become one of Nick Fuentes’s model 'groypettes.' A vicious fight left her grappling with the dark side of far-right fame."

I don't keep many Twitter screenshots, but one that comes to mind and sums up the Centrist mindset wrt the left and/or minorities, whenever Centrists are annoyed that people are rightly unhappy w/ Centrist Sparkle Motion, is this one, again in the context of the French 2022 GE.

The NFP had basically saved the last French GE from going to Le Pen et al, after Macron did FA to come up w/ a strategy (he reportedly refused to answer increasingly frantic calls from his then deputy Gabriel Attal, now PM). Macron then swooped in, stole credit & did as Sasha says below:

And, you know, I don't doubt that Macron would personally much rather see President Le Pen than he would a president from the NFP, even from the moderate Socialist Party of which he used to be a member. All the evidence points to this!

His blanket refusal to countenance working with the centre-left/left coalition that won the last legislative election didn't do his band of centrist neolibs any favours. And he of course spouted his own racist and xenophobic rhetoric. In summary, all he's done is create a path for Le Pen.

The coddling of fascists, paramilitaries and fools duped by anti-migrant propaganda trumps all other concerns in the UK, even in a political party like the LibDems which wants to rejoin the EU. MPs can in fact tell people they are wrong and ignore them to do the smart, moral and prudent thing.

A good thread 🧵 explaining the “Mahmood’s success” nonsense. One point that should be made is that the UK will get hit ever harder by the anti-migrant politics because it doesn’t have the push factors mitigated by the US’s 100+ years of Move to America propaganda which offsets Trump’s efforts still.

It is amusing that people think the US has 8 years for AOC to finish a Senate term and run for President. When reality is, that if the next President doesn’t dismantle MAGA the odds of democracy continuing are low. Shows that normality bias.

Trump: "I spoke to Zelenskyy, I said, 'You got to take it easy on the refineries as much as you can.' Because we're causing a world problem." First of all, the right thing to do is demanding that Russia end its invasion, rather than asking Ukraine to stop defending itself.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.

Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.
