tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Tired of political advisors for centre left parties being hailed as strategic genuises and brave risk takers for messaging to the right. Its the most cowardly, boring thing to do— requires no brains whatsoever 000
Reposted by @tmanickam.bsky.socialGregk Foley @gregk.co.uk · 02/09/2026Eventually, it will be widely acknowledged that saying a country had the right to cut off food and water to perpetrate genocide, oppressing those who would oppose it, and dehumanising trans people and immigrants were not incidental missteps but, in fact, provided the exact measure of a man. 4622141

tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 16/08/2026This response is available to journalists who wrote about Arday - very few are taking it. Telling it is coming from someone who wrote about him with compassion 010

tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 15/08/2026This was posted three days ago but is reflective of the utter recklessness from left journos covering this story. Even while defending Arday against the obvious racism, the delight was palpable - also from the “good guys” 010

tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Honestly fuck the British press. This was vicious and cruel from the get go and must have been unbearable to experience. 020
tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I wish we could just bin this idea that we all have to feel a certain way and identify strongly as a national to live in the country - fine if you do and also fine if you don’t. I 110

Thousands of Muslim voters just voted for a white, (I think) working class non-Muslim woman because they feel abandoned by Labour and agree with her views on a huge foreign policy issue and on immigration policy 561028247
tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Labour line re. byelection seems to be cost of living concerns - what are they basing this on? I feel it is a rejection from former labour voters of their racism. 000
tmanickam.bsky.social @tmanickam.bsky.social · 09/01/2026With the rise of the far right globally, we are going to have put our bodies on the line. For me it is protesting peacefully knowing the State may inflict violence upon me. I think its important to get used to this thought and reality 000
