Wait, so your saying this incredibly sexist portrayal of Keir Starmer in a magazine that makes a ‘feminist case for Jordan Peterson’ isn’t an accurate portrayal of how the Great British public see him?

So now that you've symbolically recognised the Palestinians you're going to follow this up with robust & concrete action such as a complete suspension of arms sales to Israel, swingeing sanctions, & the expulsion of the ambassador, right?

This really cannot be emphasized enough. China is driving the global green transition (in terms of green energy tech production, exports to the rest of the world, and installation), and this is occurring because of industrial policy and *not* because of "market mechanisms".

funny how the conservative commentariat can hold both positions at the same time: "no, Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza, i.e. collectively punishing an entire population" "we shouldn't recognise a Pal state because of what Hamas did, i.e. collectively punishing an entire population"

Zack Polanski (@zackpolanski.bsky.social) reposted
I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Note the pernicious deployment of the term "identity politics", and who and what it is used to denigrate. If the UK left's civil war of 2025 results in people who do this being consigned to the trashcan of the movement's history, that will be something, at least. observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Just another person for whom transphobia was a gateway drug. My theory about them all is that they reached middle age and were amazed to find that the patriarchy discriminated against them as well. They looked around for somebody to punch down at.

Lib Dems also falling into the bullshit of "if we resolve the asylum backlog efficiently, we defeat Reform". Reform don't care about the 'asylum backlog' outside of it being a tool. It could be 0 people and it wouldn't matter as long as there are people of colour in the UK. That is the end goal.

The reason I continue to point out how evil Democrats/liberals are is because they occupy the entire space for opposition...which is why there is no opposition to fascism right now. If we don't dismantle that cult there will be no change, it will only get worse.

You can absolutely guarantee that Labour's conference is going to include the most unhinged anti-asylum, anti-immigration rhetoric and promises of the type you would more likely to associate with Reform, all couched as "progressive" and "mainstream".

I don’t think politicians deserve praise for speaking up against Israel because it offended them personally for the first time in their lives and that’s what made them reconsider. if you’re a British MP, you had of time to find out what Israel has been doing for decades.

I think fundamentally, the ability to care about the rights of a small and vulnerable minority (of whom you might know no members) is an important sign of whether you are committed to human rights out of principle, or out of mere convenience.

Yes, I'd say that's the Greens. I appreciate what you're saying. However, for most of us on the left, our experience is of being betrayed by & functionally excluded by centrists who've chased us from public life while endlessly pandering to the right [& is what's shifted the Overton window]
