V helpful and something we should all be doing. (Also liked the drive-by of apolitical 'new' materialisms)

This #ACFM episode on the concept of ecology helps frame the general problem the UK left finds itself in. As people are split between several different parties and projects we need to think of the left as an ecosystem in which different parts interact and influence the possibilities open to others.

We need to think of the left as an ecosystem in which different parts interact and influence the possibilities open to others even without formal links. Thinking this way can help us avoid the default to ruthless competition, indeed no-holds-barred-war, that has blighted Your Party, for instance.

How to Think Ecologically Are humans distinct from nature? Are there natural limits to inequality? Do bacteria have agency?

This #ACFM episode on the concept of ecology pairs with our forthcoming episode on the Green Party, but it also frames the general problem the UK left finds itself in. As people are split between several different parties and projects we need to think ecologically...

Podcast: James Butler, Peter Geoghegan and Ethan Shone Β· On Politics: Mandelson and the Private Life of Power

This is one of the best discussions of Epstein, Mandelson, and corporate/oligarch recapture of the Labour Party.

All political parties must now be assessed as pro-democracy/anti-oligarch or pro-oligarch/anti-democracy. There is absolutely zero middle ground.

My dog's treatment cost Β£1,600 - vet bills are shocking The government sets out proposals as data finds vet prices rose at nearly twice the inflation rate.

Private equity is buying up swathes of UK's services: care homes, vet surgeries, water and energy companies, etc., etc.

They get a monopoly, neglect infrastructure, load with debt, rip us all off

I've an article in @thenation.com today. It critiques the analysis of bureaucracy that underpins @ezraklein.bsky.social and @dkthomp.bsky.social's book Abundance, while suggesting that building of popular protagonism can be the project that can orient the Left.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Extraordinary polling from @yougov.co.uk today, showing the @greenparty.org.uk in first place across all working age people

🟒Grn - 20.5%
πŸ”΄Lab - 20.3%
⚫Ref - 20.1%
πŸ”΅Con - 15.5%

baffling why 60% of pensioners are supporting Con/Ref who will slash public spending that mainly goes to pensioners
