In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

What's an alternative approach? Gradually nurturing conditions for people to participate, share diverse views, grow relationships & listen to each other. In these conditions, a complex system may become healthier & progressive. But it's much more organic/evolving, rather than directed/controlled 2/2

Labour are all over the place.

Heidi Alexander was this morning claiming that she and Hannah Spencer believed in much the same thing. There was no substantive criticism of the message beyond some muttering about 'security'.

Seriously, try to fathom what the US would do in response if another country initiated a first strike against us and killed our president.

If ever you needed a front page to capture the crass yet also dangerous silliness of so much of our media, and the impact of right wing nationalism which has done so much harm through a history from which some seem so unable to learn

3 tiny pricks who happen to be war criminals inflicting violence on their own an other communities

An insult to the electorate and to the hard work and professionalism of the staff running the election who the media feel they can malign with impunity.

All I want to know, is what is the point??
Oil?

Having just listened to the After Dark podcast it's interesting to hear how we may not have Witch trials anymore but we have an equivalent with politicians trying to drive wedges between communities for their own gain. So it's really good to see Hannah win despite the current toxic political climate

Nazir Afzal: ‘Class Discrimination Isn’t a Complex Mystery – It’s a Structural Issue Quietly Enforced, Politely Denied, Endlessly Deferred’  – Byline Times Digital / Print Edition The Chancellor of Manchester University has co-authored a new report, ‘Class Ceiling’, examining working-class participation in the creative industries across Greater Manchester.

A chart showing wastewater data for Covid-19. The vaccine rollout is noted in red in 2021, however there are nine waves of the disease shown, many significantly higher than prior to the vaccine’s release.

I just want to include one graph, this is wastewater data for Covid nationwide from 2020-2026. The approximate start of widespread vaccination is noted. Does this look like the primary outcome of the vaccines was stopping *transmission?*

And to think they’ll have trawled through his CV of convictions to do so 🙄

Nigel Farage refuses to apologise and condemn Reform councillor Simon Evans for sharing a death threat against Labour MP Natalie Fleet 😱

Keir Starmer explained what happened and invited Nigel Farage to apologise

Instead, Nigel Farage stood up and spoke about something else

Surely this is illegal? If not, future elections are just going to be swamped with deceptive leaflets from Labour & Reform

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Possibly the most sophisticated calculation of Gorton and Denton possibilities. And clearly the best way to beat Reform is #VoteGreen. Every vote crucial!
