THE LEFT BERLIN Decentralised, democratic, but disciplined - politics in 3D As the English Left struggles to reproduce itself, positive regionalism should play a part in what comes next

Can progressive regionalism help to defeat toxic English ethno-nationalism?

Or as one of the signs at the recent #Newcastle anti-fascist demo said:

“Racism. Nah you’re alreet pet.”

Picture of two bearded men in selfie style. One is the famous stand-up comedian, podcaster, presenter, agitator and all round top bloke, Alexei Sayle. One is not.

Wrote the alt text description for this pic - then realised, that’s probably the whole post.

It's outrageous that so many of your bills are going up in April because of PRIVATISATION 💧💡🚌🚄📮

Natural monopolies make it really hard to "shop around"

Here's how Keir Starmer could actually "cut your bills for good":

This policy makes zero sense. Tax evasion/avoidance costs the taxpayer 4 times more than benefit fraud.
Are tax dodgers also going to lose their driving licenses?
If the govt is clamping down on fraud, they should start with corporate fraud and make the rich pay their fair share

Cartoon of Trump sitting at a table with chlorinated chicken in front of him. Opposite is Keir Dtarmer offering up a platter with an NHS hospital on it.

The world is bracing for #Trump 2.0.
Starmer is desperate for a US trade deal, but at what cost?

Our #NHS in return for chlorinated chicken? No thanks.

We are the majority. We demand a publicly owned NHS free at the point of need and free from private greed.

Hugo and John Prescott in a crowd in Scarborough

Bad pic but lovely moment. Taken before John introduced @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social at a rally in #Scarborough in 2017. In the crowd he asked for my rosette. He got me to sign it, as he liked souvenirs. He took an interest in everyone and you could tell he had such passion for people. #RIPJohn
