“Everyday we wake up and collectively make a world together; but which one of us, left to our own devices, would ever decide they wanted to make a world like this one?” — David Graeber, “Bullshit Jobs: A Theory”

Yes.

UK faces ‘battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat In a rallying cry to progressives around the world, the Prime Minister said allies must stop the ‘politics of predatory grievance’.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

Hopelessness is manufactured. Hopelessness is part of Neo-Liberalism. They want you to believe there is no hope and no possible alternative.

The real threat to labour isn't bumbling Corbyn - it's the greens.

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills.

The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."

We've got a message for Malvern House:

Malvern House: It’s time to negotiate

At #TUC2025 this morning, Congress will vote on Wages not Weapons.

As @zackpolanski.bsky.social said:
“You need to vote for security, not the arms trade to invest in people and planet, not destruction.” ✊🌍

What do Nigel Farage's constituents really think is wrong with the country?

I've been in Clacton today to find out.

Video coming soon!

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "There's no wealthy people backing our party, I'm happy to tell you, and do you know what? We're not looking for wealthy money. What we're looking for is the support of ordinary people"

"There is no genocide without genocide denial"

Eyal Weizman from @forensicarchi.bsky.social

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of personal services firm is a practice criticised across the political spectrum

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here…

I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.

....and that's it. Results on Tuesday!

There's so many thank yous to come across the entire country but I'd request a huge collective thank you of @naranee.bsky.social who's voluntarily Campaign Managed for 4 months (!!!)

All the love & thank yous, Naranee. You've been exceptional.

He's right.
But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

Well done to Adil Ray for pointing out the hypocrisy of the govt. When in opposition they called on the govt to publish the legal advice it had received on Israels action, but now they are in govt they refuse to publish it #GMB

Lisa Nandy: "Lots of my constituents worry about coming off PIP & into work because its so hard.. to get back onto it"

Except PIP isn't related to employment & plenty of disabled people on PIP do work. Nandy just told a bare faced lie.

Faiza Shaheen: 50 families in the UK have as much wealth as the bottom 50% of the whole population.

Faiza is right, we need a wealth tax #politicslive

Greens came 5th in Rugby.

I believe we can come 1st anywhere people know what we stand for.

I went to Rugby to try out my theory!

Appearing on #politicslondon in his capacity as a member of the London Assembly, Zack Polanski thinks the mayor of London should have the power to tax the super rich.

YouTube video by How To Academy The True Origin of Capitalism - George Monbiot (Part 1)

Here's my discussion with Richard Herring on the true origins of capitalism - what it is, what it isn't, where it came from, and how we've been told a pack of lies about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z5y...

Book: The Dawn of Everything, by David Graeber and David Wengrow

I have just finished The Dawn Of Everything and I highly recommend it if you're interested in the structure of society or how we look at history. It's a commitment (525 pages and reasonably dense) but it's eye-opening. And gives you hope for the future - there are *other* ways of doing things.

Standoff between Trump & Colombia’s president Petro on receiving deportation flights is already testing how far & fast we move into the “might is right” era.

Caribbean & Latin American leaders due to meet on this soon.

Let’s see if they continue to insist on dignity for returnees #r4today

Names and faces of people who died in Channel during deadliest year on record Heartbreaking photos show men, women and children who died this year trying to reach the UK in small boats as MPs are urged to reflect on the tragedies and stop it happening again

The Home Office accepts that its policies to “smash the gangs” results in people taking flimsier & more overcrowded dinghies across the Channel.

This is why at least 77 people have drowned. A third are children. #r4today www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

New opinion piece from me on why we're failing on climate... too much compliance, not enough resistance. The AGU ought to be ashamed #AGU2024
