If people excited by Your Party had not joined the Greens up to now, why should a few top level spats make them do so now? And that’s a genuine question, by the way.

Choosing between Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting is like choosing between the Kray twins.

Both choices are criminally dangerous to the country — but I’m not sure if Wes gets his suits paid for by Lord Waheed Alli.

Congratulations to @plaidcymru.bsky.social Brilliant and uplifting victory in Caerphilly. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social is finished. Reform are in retreat. Forward to the Senedd elections.

Still seeing the left tearing into each other whilst Reform are quietly building momentum. It won’t matter who is most pure when fascists are in charge of your country. Wake up people. We need to start working together or there will be no democracy left to save.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social is right we have to unite which means finding what unites us. Right now that should be fear of fascism. Name calling doesn’t help much. So long as YP and @greenparty.org.uk work together to defeat Reform we can split hairs later. criticalmassmag.org/the-great-ce...

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

criticalmassmag.org/the-great-ce... We have been watching Your Party. There is still a place for a mass party on the left. But it needs to grow quickly and be able to work with the @greenparty.org.uk and @plaidcymru.bsky.social We have to stop the fascists and arguing amongst ourselves won’t do it.

So MAGA UK voters, surprise, surprise there is no fraud, no waste, no asylum seekers gaming the system. Watch your council tax used for banning books in libraries & to stop all anti discrimination practices so the tax evading party can give tax cuts to their rich friends. Reform are liars.

Good to see Americans on the streets opposing Trump. Are there any eye witness accounts on here?

The entire system seems wired to prevent social justice. Politics is a game played by the rich with the rest of us as pawns. How do we create a world where every life matters? I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Cheers Mani. Hope you are well. Hope all socialists are well.

Peace in Gaza? - Critical Mass Magazine As a ceasefire is announced in Gaza the real work of freeing Palestine begins. We are motivated by love not hate and that is why we will win.

@criticalmassmag.bsky.social puts out a weekly newsletter for lefties. Why not give it a try? Let me know what you think. criticalmassmag.org/newsletter-2/

It does but can you see a process by which that happens? I don’t. Not at the moment.

Is it really so beyond the realms of possibility that we could create a world where there were no wars, no hunger, no poverty and no homelessness ?

The ceasefire is a start but we need to keep the pressure on to get a just settlement for the Palestinian people.

If you follow this link you can hear an audio of me reading this article. That may, or may not, be a treat.

This is what a Labour Government is allowing to happen to universities in Wales. And Starmer always said that Labour in Westminster would learn from Wales. An important article from @criticalmasszine.bsky.social

It’s pretty difficult to say much that hasn’t been said already about Trump. But I tried to focus on what he’s done and how it might impact Europe.

In what is a real sign of the times moment a lot of people simply shrug that a Trump ally, serial liar and genuinely nasty piece of work is poised to become the next PM. @criticalmasszine.bsky.social warned before the last election that this might happen. Polls now prove us right.

Everyone who is shocked that Trump would contemplate forcing Palestinians off their own land would do well to remember this is exactly what happened when Israel was created. If you think it would be abhorrent to do it today, you must also agree it was abhorrent to do it then.

I’ve an interest in this article because I’m the author. But beyond that it is vital that people realise just how bad anti-protest legislation is

Can PR save democracy - Critical Mass Magazine Reading Time: 9 minutesWith the news that Unite the Union have voted to endorse proportional representation (PR) for parliamentary elections the British left have, once again, started to get excited ...

Lots of people claim to be for PR. I think that could be a massive mistake and wrote in @criticalmasszine.bsky.social to explain why. The only thing that has changed is that parties of the right have become more common. Read this article and tell me I am wrong criticalmassmag.org/can-pr-save-...

Thanks for posting this. A really interesting article. What it shows is that when a field is entirely dominated by a particular world view that it is incredibly difficult for alternate views to be heard. In this case the word genocide has been appropriated by Jewish scholars loathe to expand it.

Re reposting. So very sorry ❤️
It is one of my favorites

Britain is the 6th wealthiest country in the world and yet successive governments have attacked the elderly, poor, disabled, and anybody else who cannot fight back. Well perhaps the rest of us should fight back on their behalf. #fightpoverty

Yes we must suffer so the rich can amass more wealth than they can possibly spend. It’s called capitalism. And until we replace it the process will go round and round.
