That's true. They're working so hard to eliminate the notion (and problem) of legitimacy from politics. Once, they've done this this is going to be number 1 in their new constitution.

Good thread about Ekrem Imamoglu's (arrested presidential candidate of the main opposition party in Turkey) trial and what's at stake for the regime.

Today, the biggest case against Ekrem Imamoglu, the arrested presidential candidate of the main opposition party (CHP) in Turkey begins. The case includes more than 400 people together with him. Shameful day for democracy..

Getting targeted by both Trump and Blair.. Here is Starmer's last moment!

Barcelona is one of my top three cities where I want to live.. I should consider it seriously.

So, maybe this is what happens when you actually start changing people's lives step by step and make them feel that it's happening, their life matters and everbody deserves a nice life.

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won’t be able to do anything else at all | Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people.

Your regular reminder than a large majority of voters - and overwhelming majority of Labour voters - favour giving settled migrants access to the welfare state after five years or less. The Home Secretary is not reforming rules in line with public opinion. She is doing the opposite.

Yes. Then, can we do sth to stop this as soon as possible, please?

They didn't see the alternative would emerge from their left. They made a fatal strategic mistake.

Sorry for the typo mistakes. I'm really tired.

a nice life is an extreme person. They'd get no one to believe that Greens and Reform are the two sides of the same coin. They'll be gone soon but the sad thing is, in the meantime, like previous governments they making changes that'd effect lives and faith of thousands of desperate people. Cruel!

Yeah I know. Windmills are required by Sharia law. What can you do?

Everybody deserves a nice life - and their children..

You see how things seem impossible are actually possible. We do love things that makes us feel better than we are, not worse. this is the key for politics.

Yes - last two days for finishing the entire first draft and then revisions, and submission within this month. 💜

James Butler | Just Voting The Green Party’s Hannah Spencer has won the Gorton and Denton by-election with 41 per cent of the vote. Progressive...

‘“I don’t think it’s extreme or radical to think that working hard should get you a nice life,” Hannah Spencer said. The speech could once easily have been delivered by a centre-left Labour politician.’

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

People whose lives is already disrupted by unprecedented events will never be able to have a proper life and those people don't see any problem in this!!

Who can guarantee this?

This is a real source of anxiety for the regime in Turkey. It didn't start with Iran but the situation in Iran amplifies it.

This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

Struck by how Hannah Spencer's brilliant victory speech is a broadside against neoliberal meritocracy – like so many other (esp. female working-class) voices right now. This is exactly what Bev Skeggs & I discuss in our new article, 'Social Mobility is a Joke':
