I was born in a water moon… Since then I've paid an inordinate amount of attention to politics, made Sheffield my home, and made lots of things with yarn. Queer, disabled, democratic communist, one half of Mary James maryjamesauthor.wordpress.com

It took me about 2 seconds to link them to a CIA group by the way.

If you've never heard the term "family voting" before, it's because it's a term made up by Democracy Volunteers who really like to frequent elections in Tower Hamlets

The really dark fun is that Labour can't make Starmer resign because they need him as a human meat airbag to handle getting absolutely vivisected in the May local elections.

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!! Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer, Peter Mandelson....you boys took a HELL of a beating tonight.

Presumably there will now be wall to.wall coverage of Green policies and Polanski will be all over the TV.

Isn't this how it works for Farage?

Starmer must now call a snap general election for no reason other than seeing tonight replicated in about 350 seats at once would be the funniest event in human history

The Reform bandwagon stalls again. Three times in three by-elections:
Gorton and Denton: Green;
Caerphilly: Plaid Cymru;
Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse: Labour.
The media said Reform were favourites in each. Maybe we could hear a bit less abt the Reform bandwagon from them from now on.

Not to get all Gender Studies on you, but it almost vibes like there's a gender thing going on here. Real power is when you dig shit up and burn it, all manly-like, while you eat a steak and potatoes. Wind and solar just aren't muscular and dirty enough. Am I off base here? sigh

And once you understand why misogynists would say only men need be heard on women's rights you also understand why the BBC has decided only cis people need be heard on trans rights: their inherent inferiority means they are not worth listening to.

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

"Let's look through the right-hand window.

People who come to Britain are called migrants.

Jim is a Brit who lives outside the UK, but Jim is not called a migrant, because he is white and very rich.

Jim is called an ex-pat, which is much nicer."

Reform candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check Exclusive: Matt Goodwin argued ‘young girls’ should be explained ‘the biological reality’ that ‘many women in Britain are having children much too late in life’

This is Elon Musk territory, isn't it? A woman's purpose is to bear children.

The article's interesting, but this nugget reminded me of this video by Abby Cox, a sewing YouTuber, about Hermes, their value, and their values. It's well worth a watch youtu.be/nZD2iClIDzU?...

Polanski says Gorton and Denton by-election a choice between ‘hate and hope’ Leader Zack Polanski believes the Gorton and Denton by-election will be a race between the Greens and Reform

Lower bills.

Defend the NHS.

Rebuild our public services.

Only the Green Party can stop Reform.

What makes you think Trident is ours? France is the only European country with an actual nuclear deterrent

Times report: Allies of Rayner said they believed that Wes Streeting, the health secretary, would be “ruined” by the mass disclosure of all communications with Mandelson in coming months. Streeting and Mandelson were close allies for years.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

I always believed the purpose of Brexit was to destroy the ability of nation states to take on spiv capitalism. I never expected to see actual evidence of it.
