The creep JD Vance is going to be president within 6 months if rumours about Trump's health are true.

Sex workers are more likely to get raped by the police than their customers. If they have to hide the men paying them to make a living that gives rapist cops more blackmail power for free sexual favours.

If Reform ever wins power in Westminster, it will be because of Labour’s cowardice | George Monbiot Starmer could improve our unfair electoral system to stop the hard right, but he won’t. All the party has left are threats about β€˜splitting the vote’, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The long and the short of this.
I get how MAGA worked in 2016, but only Epstein explains why all the tech bros coagulated around Trump in 2024.
Epstein's money, his Silicon Valley/Russian-backed libertarian eugenicist ideology, survived his demise

If Trump has rigged the midterms & the 2028 election, which some reports in the UK suggest he has, this is your new normal. The America you knew is dead. MAGA are forever.

I would argue that the same phenomenon occurred with Occupy Wall Street. They spoke about the 1 percent, globalisation, people wore the obey merchandise, don't trust the corporate media. Suddenly we have Trump talking about fake news, the globalists & the system being rigged. Cue MAGA.

"Return to tribalism", "Brexit, just the beginning"

I remember the Lexit discourse and what it taught me was a left-wing analysis of liberalism can help the right in the absence of a global & national revolutionary working class.

The UK is a rich country built on mass poverty Record levels of very deep poverty expose the true cost of austerity, inflation and the concentration of power at the top.

Politicians tell us they can fix poverty with economic growth, or labour market reforms, or easy money.

But all of these fixes just obscure the fact that the poverty of those at the bottom is a direct consequence of the wealth of those at the top. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-uk-is-...
