a rare photo of sean connery signed by roger moore @steamedhamms.bsky.social · 20hi know a lot of people have been long invested in the idea that andy burnham is a bit crap at politics, and with the caveat I know polling this far out isn’t the whole thing, but taken together with his electoral record is there a chance he’s maybe alright at it 3566

a rare photo of sean connery signed by roger moore @steamedhamms.bsky.social · 29/09/2026i think it would have been great if he’d tied this bit to an explicit action (join the party most realistically but i thought it was an interesting appeal and you could build on it in interesting ways to try and create a bit of mobilisation behind an alternative project to the reform one) 050

One is this: he thinks digital post-material politics is ‘expressive’. It’s not. It’s participatory. It looks expressive because participation is blocked & has nowhere to go becoming more shrill.
