And he has a neckgina!
This boring Greenache will stop once this starts being a success.
Line drawn. If needed, bring in mediators in the future. Onwards!
I wonder if Katherine liked being an ear to Trump. Not a royalist or a fan, but who on earth decided that she should have to sit next to that hideousness?
…it needs time & it’s to be expected that something properly democratic will attract power battles. If it doesn’t end up being a proper Democratic Party as advertised, *then* it will be fucked. We need to give it time. Also, this will be nothing compared to facing the establishment!
..sought. Then 4 minutes later, Zarah released a statement stating she’d set up the membership as she had been sidelined by the MPs in the previous mail. See her social a/c’s, she’s posted a statement. I’ve joined & you know what, I’m not that worried. As a party, it’ll be ok….
They haven’t fucked it 🙄 - but there was a public argument; one side, Zarah, the other side JC & independent MPs. I joined via Zarah’s link in the morning, I then got an email in the afternoon saying that was unauthorised & advised to cancel any direct debits set up. They said legal advice was being
‘The Gazans won’t have to leave…’ mate, the Gazans will be all dead you psychopathic fucks
It’s all so excruciating to witness.
Shareholders. Water, gas, electric. Nationalise now.
The French know how to effectively protest.
‘Can you not say that, it puts me off coming’ - that’s all you have to say.
Well done for turning up all attendees!
Can anyone explain to me what counts as legitimate protest in the U.K. these days? I’m baffled. We should celebrate attacks on police as vibrant free speech but condemn pensioners with slogans on t-shirts and @ledbydonkeys.org with a projector?
I agree with the sentiment of your piece, but I find myself frequently asking 'How do we actually do that in a real world sense then?' Can you elaborate at all? That would make a glorious read.
I think a movement that can spell out that that class do not really care about us, that we, including the people in that march, are actually on the same side (without taking any abuse from them) is what we need now. We need to unite against them!
What kind of organisation is there in getting out the progressive voice right now? I feel like we need to come much harder & prominent.
Far right organisers in this country consistently side with foreign billionaires over our democratic institutions. They are not patriots. They are quislings.
To be honest, all I can see in that bit of writing is justification to excuse behaviour.
That feeling of desperately wanting your elected government to loudly call out racism & far right violent extremists... And nothing. Labour so afraid to lose power, it has forgotten both how to use it & that with power comes responsibility. As America gets ever darker, too little light here.
He just comes across as a totally weak Prime Minister.
Fascists aren’t welcome in our streets. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.
I keep imagining a future that’s ‘far right’ and I get this horrible run away sensation of a feeling, like there’s nothing to be done that can stop it. Surely we can learn some strategy from history and resist this shit better?
…proper understanding of all the sub-groups. Then we need to find strategies to deal with different groups. We can’t go on for the most part calling them thick inbred racist chavvy gammon. Do we try and change some minds? Not the most extreme, obvs, but what about amplifying a different msg?
The worrying thing is that this seems to have been creeping up over many, many years with no real effective counter-narrative. We need to understand firstly, exactly what we’re dealing with; their beliefs, what they want. For example, not everyone who votes Reform is like these cunts, let’s get some
I know Hope Not Hate are effective at stopping some things from going ahead, like that hate filled gig you recently scuppered, but I think there needs to be a serious set of methods to take on the narrative these bone heads spout. I know the counter groups were there today but I don’t this is enough
What would happen if someone ripped up a Union Jack flag, or an England flag? Are there any consequences to doing so?
I don’t think this Labour government are centre left at all.
This is what I’d like to know. The OP seems to suggest so?
My nearest private Covid vaccine clinic are offering Pfizer & Moderna. So the Pfizer one you speak of here is the most up to date & what is being rolled out privately in the UK?
Tailgating ruins the driving experience.
I think those gates of hell have been open for some time.
Angela Rayner should’ve been sacked. From backing the two-child benefit cap, cutting winter fuel & disability benefits to defending a government enabling genocide in Gaza — she repeatedly chose the government & its harmful policies over the working class & labour movement she claims to represent.
I’d say it costs more than 1p of water per flush! You must have saved even more than that!
Oh do fuck off you sanctimonious person, how dare you, when someone genuinely comes to learn & you don’t recognise it, it just says more about your uppity judgements & ways of invalidating others than my actual lived experience.
I was going partially on a dictionary definition of kangaroo court, I didn’t include the whole of the definition & stated that I didn’t think it would be biased, which K.C’s are but fair point about the distinction between tribunal & trial, thanks for helping me understand.
I can understand why that’s a good thing to do, records do need to be kept about who has been doing what.
I do not support the IOF one jot, but I think the question is legitimate all the same. Please don’t get all binary about it again, your tone is suggesting I’m in some way in support of these absolute cnuts.
I support your work, but isn’t this like a kangaroo court in the respect that it’s unofficial & lacks proper authority? I don’t think it will be biased, but I’m not sure I understand it.
These people should be nowhere near power.
Heinous bunch.
Is allegiance bought that cheap? A burger? Wow.
They get the tenant to pay for their mortgage so they have something for their retirement. It’s perverse and parasitic.
First prize for the most corrupt looking face.
In other words, I’m staying where I am because it’s best for my career.
Cunce, then.
Please go to Mars now and set it all up for us.
I just don’t get it. What business is it of anyone’s who marries who? What would she actually feel if she succeeded? What would she ask for next?! Ridiculous people.
And if he’s given one, I’d be wondering what he offered in exchange for it.
Hoping Darwinism catches up with him at the earliest opportunity.
Depressing and mind boggling. How do these kind of people keep getting away with it time and time again?
A little bird told me ‘chinny reckon’
“David Lammy’s lie last month, that Britain was not providing intelligence to Israel has been directly contradicted by government sources,” writes CODEPINK’s Nuvpreet, “He must resign.” codepink.substack.com/p/the-britis...

It’s literally a brown RNLI worker on their monthly drill exercises.
It’s like I’ve wandered deep into your own mind ramblings. No idea what you’re really going on about. See ya.
What?
With our colonial past, we’ve never been better than the Nazi’s.
Broken pledges on a leadership bid. Broken election pledges.
Who will bring him to justice? That’s literally all I want to know in a story with him in it.
'Dancing through it all' by contemporary artist Angela Smyth #WomensArt
What a fucking cheek. America are the most renowned uber capitalist nation to buy things from places, sometimes stealing things from around the world, and ‘reselling it for big profits’ too.
If u have a party that will genuinely transfer the wealth back to the working class end of the spectrum, you’d have been up against it just to get in on the policies you chose. It’s a choice between getting in to help ppl or losing votes down to alienating potential voters, even though it’s needed.
Filthy IOF
Of all the issues that need attention, that he could win on bs issues of ‘the boats’ is galling.
That’s called an ‘economical’ poo, fesser.
May hell exist for the perpetrators.
Is this to Robin?
Gilead, then.
It is the duty of those journalists to film it regardless. It’ll be needed as evidence one day with a bit of luck.
This is what all the leaders who have done nothing have been waiting for. They know most people won’t know this. So now they’ll send in aid (which will kill them), they’ll sanction, they’ll take strong actions to signal they’ve done something.
It’s like them offering 30 children in Gaza help. 9…30…
Seems like he’s waiting until a date when they’ll all be dead.
I can relate to this so much. Apart from eating it over the pot. What’s wrong with you?!
Get rid. Of both.
Clever & lovely looking work!
I ruddy well can’t wait for your book Kath, I pre-ordered the audio book yesterday, do you narrate it? 🧡💚
Exactly what I say!
You’ve proved my point.
I do see your point.
Paul Mason is already saying this, setting it all up in advance. What the hell happened to him?!
Some issues can not be discussed online. Trying to do so does the topic a massive injustice.
There seems to be a tiny army of very angry trans people jumping onto people’s comments and making lots of judgemental assumptions about views on trans issues. It doesn’t change my progressive views, but they’re aggressive c*nts none the less.
…terrible things happening. But I think Paul is right, it doesn’t seem to change anything. I think direct action like general strikes might be more effective nowadays. Workers of the world needto unite!
I think protest has changed, I think it used to achieve something, but I wouldn’t say it’s useless now. I think it’s useful to think about what it would be like without a protest at something unjust; we’d all think everyone was fine with whatever it was & there’d be no record of anyone being against
The powerful will just turn a radio on and drown out the clunking sound. But what would you have people do? They just care and want to do *something*. People feel helpless. You’re right, it will do nothing to help ppl in Gaza, but have a heart!
People in power are beholden to other people in power.
I couldn’t agree more. Every single issue that’s majorly wrong in this world is caused by a powerful group of people who seem to be like a different species to the rest of us.
I’d say it was probably deliberate in 1985, too. Famines can entirely be prevented.
Who the hell knows everything that is happening and his *this* take?
Raging, such inhumanity on these people, never ending, the perpetrators are death eaters.
Give him cankles and it’d be more realistic
It’s so deprived that he has to be begged.
Their movement will be more successful purely because it will be truly democratic from the start; a member led party (see info from today). They already have 140,000 members in only 10 hours of opening. Corbyn owes the Greens NOTHING after they stabbed him in the back when he was LOTO.
I’m looking at you, The Green Party.
Ffs, give over.
The Greens should join the new party and push hard with *them*.
Oh yuk. Who the hell was in charge of that?! What were they thinking? Maybe like you say, that had to go more toward a Gilead interpretation for it to be accepted.
That’s great! I enjoyed your column in the Guardian today, gave me some things to think about.
