I donât think itâs too much to ask for Labour to be the Labour Party and Democratic Party to be the Democratic Party It either Labour or dems want to win another election, they need to actually stand with the majority of those who voted for them, stop enabling genocide and stand up to the right
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
So no, Iâm not a âcommunistâ Iâm well aware Corbyn isnât perfect, Labour just like the democrats are heading for extinction. Wanna see how fucked we are? youtu.be/yi4Ur-l86gY?... This should be an international scandal, itâs all being swept under the rug

The fact we send aid to Israel as they commit the same horrific crimes as Russia is sickening, there is no difference between Russia and Israel at this point. People can argue âHamas and Russiaâ all they like but thatâs didnât stop the fact Isreal is illegally stealing land and committing genocide
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
I may not agree with Corbyn on everything, what I do agree with is the fact that Labour have lost touch with its own voter base and their anti-immigration, pro-Israel, anti-LGBTQ policies, pro-austerity and pro-Trump policies have killed the party.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Because regardless of my support for Corbyn, maybe Labour can see itâs losing members by attacking the poorest in society and will actually start being a liberal party again and stop emulating the last 14 years of far right conservatism.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
We wouldnât know because he was politically assassinated for daring to oppose israel. Probably not, Iâve spoken to the man. I think youâre projecting some kind of weird view on him that he doesnât have. Heâs not even communist.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Admittedly, he wasnât wrong about putting more pressure on Russia. We did the bare minimum to the point that sanctions are barely effective anymore. Itâs a slight inconvenience having to order things though Turkey
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, I think we utterly screwed Ukraine repeatedly from 1991 until today. We did too little, too late and at this point we need to start at least thinking about a pause to even get Ukraine ready for round 3
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Youâre sending the very last of the Biden aid, after that they are done for. All aid from the US will be paid for by Europe and Trump already declared that there will be an extra 10% added because fuck Ukraine I guess
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Weâre now considering fighting two of the largest militaryâs alone while the US hides away

We shouldnât be doing any air missions in the Middle East. Weâre facing a continent wide war and apparently facing China with Australia alone in the Pacific which is just a wild thing Labour came out with recently.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Iâm a liberal, Iâm also sickened by Labour and their betrayal of their party members. Iâm all for cutting back on spending but spending billions on air missions to Israel while cutting welfare for the disabled and heating assistance for the poor elderly is political suicide.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
You may dislike Corbyn but when I say things are bad here, you need to understand things are EXTREMELY fucking bad. Labour are the Tories, they are purging anyone remotely left wing from the party, the unions have abandoned them and membership has cratered.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
We probably disagree on one thing and thatâs my willingness to have direct confrontation with Russia instead of hiding behind Ukraine. We should have had a strong show of force with Russia but instead we hit like cowards.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
I think putting nato bases on Ukrainian sovereign territory in 2021 would have prevented a war. I donât think Russia would have invaded if we took an aggressive stance against Putin. Instead we showed how weak we were over and over.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Weâre already windholding arms. You say it worsens their position but we already have. We fucked them and worse we look like hypocrites allowing Israel do so the same thing as Russia and excusing it.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
You know your beloved Labour is in lockstep with Trump right? They wonât criticise him on anything and have even apologised for calling him out in the past. There is no left-wing alternative in the UK anymore. Labour are done. That kinda happens when you try to kill off the elderly and disabled
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
I think my country is in fucking crisis, Labour have gone full right-wing, fucked our county by appeasing Trump and are more concerned about storing racial hated and literally flying air missions for Israel every day for 2 years while saying closing Ukrainian air space is a step too farâŠ

James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure, he was wrong about it but would we have needed to send them long range missiles if literally any of us had the balls to stand up to Putin at any point between 2014 and 2025? At any point?
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, itâs not their call. Itâs the Ukrainian governmentâs and theyâve already accepted that there has to be a ceasefire and negotiated settlement.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent

No, Iâm giving you the context of what he said instead of a single line form a long interview. I agree itâs him, we failed Ukraine.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Ukraine surprisingly isnât even in the 10 issues we need to deal with at this point. America causing shit here being at least 5 of those
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, thatâs not happening here bud. Labour are more concerned about people different colour skin coming to our country illegally. He has other issues to worry about like race wars on our streets spurred on by American politicians and public figures.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, thatâs not happening though. Weâre not in 2022 anymore, itâs 2025 and we are now talking about freezing the conflict.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Ukraine has already been sold out bud, I donât know how to break it to you. We fucked then over spectacularly and continue to do so. All these cute acts of solidarity look lovely on camera but.. Ukraine is losing territory rapidly again, Europe is slowing weapons deliveries further
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Is he? It kinda feels like we probably should have listened to him to begin with and been tougher on Russia. Instead we left the back door wide open for them to sanction evades and continue the war
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Iâm all for liberation of Ukrainian land but what the fuck are we doing here? You went from giving Putin 50 days to end the war to 10 days and then that was forgotten a month ago. Where are we now? Another 2 weeks?
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
The goes literally the opposite of what heâs said and itâs actually counter to what youâve shared with me. Cool, so they are gonna liberate all that land right? Alone? Thatâs happening? Not the opposite? Ukraine losing more and more land? They didnât just lose a shit load of land?
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Heâs never once said that and youâre inventing yet more smears against him. Youâre literally arguing against an independent MP saying the military aid alone will only prolong the war. We wouldnât do that regardless, you think we have 100,000 155mm rounds to spare under labour? lol
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
If it doesnât start sorting its shit out, there wonât be any Ukraine aid at all. Thereâll be an early general election and reform absolutely will win.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
The next general election is in 2029, are you hoping for the war to continue into the next decade? I hope not. Labour are rapidly losing MPâs due to various fuckery it suspended a dozen just because they dared to oppose not removing heating allowances from the elderly.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Labour are absolutely done. Tories are done. Ukraines only hope is Lib Demâs but even then theyâd have to coalition Labour which is unlikely as their views are completely opposed now, especially on Brexit and Israel.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Thats not getting into the shady shit by categorising Palestine action as a terrorist origination by putting their designation in a bill that combined two Russian Neo Nazi groups as them. They used Russian Nazis to silence criticism of Israel
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Buddy, Labour are done. You understand Labour going right wing absolutely destroyed the party right? They are polling worse than the Tories some how. They went after pensioners heating and the disabled for fucks sake. Labour wonât survive the next general election. Starmer went too right-wing.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Right? So where is he wrong? You slated Corbyn for even daring to call for a ceasefire ignoring Zelenskyy has repeatedly agreed to one and you seem to think Ukraine is going to what? Watch as the west betrays it over and over?
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes. Because the alternative is no aid for Ukraine. What do you want? No aid and lift sanctions on Russia or someone who wanted to put more pressure on Russia? Pick one. Labour as a political party are done, as are the Tories.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Womenâs alone* And he was right. He didnât argue it should end, he argued weapons alone would prolong the war and guess what, he was right.

Donât sit there and pretend to be all high and mighty, all of us let Ukraine down. It has nothing to do with how left either of us are, it has everything to do with how incompetent our leaders were and are.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
You can sit there pretending to be high and mighty here but it was Biden who gave the absolute bare minimum. Who gave Ukraine long range weapons? Was it Biden? No no⊠he capped HIMARs and geofenced them within Ukraine. It was the UK and France who gave long range weapons.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, as does Zelenskyy.Sorry? Do you think the US has left Ukraine in any position to continue fighting at this point? You understand that they are losing because of ALL Americans not just MAGAts donât sit there and claim no responsibility because of Trump Biden drip fed Ukraine for his entire term
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
What he said was arms alone wouldnât end the war. Guess what, he was right. What part of that statement in 2025 is incorrect? You sit there and act like heâs wrong but heâs not, sorry, 1288 days later the war isnât ending and there is no end in sight.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
The west hasnât put any pressure on Russia, everything weâve done can be mitigated though third party countries. You think sanctioning works for countries like Russia? Europe still gets its gas and oil from Russia, it never stopped. You need to come to terms we fucked Ukraine over spectacularly
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
I dunno, maybe and this is a wild thought⊠he knows the west would fuck Ukraine over just like we fucked over the Kurds, Afghani government, Taiwanese, South Koreans, Japanese, infact every Asian partner country.. is there a country we havenât fucked over other than Israel?
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Weâre on day 1288, Ukraine has been betrayed over and over. Watched as Israel is given endless aid and even direct military intervention by western nations as Ukranians die. Iâm sorry? Do you think you cooked here? I think you proved his point that the west failed Ukraine.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
He should, he was right. It turns out on day 1288 maybe Ukraine needed something more than the bare minimum effort from western partners. At least sanctions that actually hurt Russia.
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah man, weâre on day 1288, maybe he might have been on to something? Yeah, how is joining the EU and NATO working out for Ukraine? Still on the table? Seems like both ainât happening and Ukraine was dragged along huh
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent
So yes, with context, he believes just arming Ukraine and not pressuring Russia wonât end the war and will drag it out. Iâd say on day 1288, I dunno man, seems like maybe he might have been on to something?
James Lowry (@james-lowry.bsky.social) reply parent

The whole democratic system is rotten from the core. Not just on Israel, Israel is just a symptom of a wider issue. Itâs not just a US issue either, we have the same issue here on the left too. Itâs an unwillingness to listen to voters and focus on lobbyists demands.
