I was assured that the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated?

Remember last summer when the USA said Iran’s nuclear programme had been β€œobliterated”?

Dyson settles forced labour suit in landmark UK case Migrant workers alleged they were subjected to abusive treatment in a Malaysian factory for Dyson.

Dyson backed Brexit saying it would bring jobs to the UK, then offshored their production, and have now been found guilty of modern day slavery.

A scene from the Eric Andre show, interviewing Mel B. He asked if Margaret Thatcher had Girl Power, she replies "yes, of course," and he asks "Do you think she effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland?".

If you're not sufficiently depressed by Trump's attack on Iran, Russia has just dropped phosphorus bombs, which cause deep and often fatal wounds, burning through muscle and bone until the oxygen supply is cut off or the phosphorus is fully consumed, on to Kostyantynivka.

The line about the Greens being sectarian is politician and media code for "treated Muslim people with respect and agency of their own"

Starmer hits out at β€˜extremes’ of left and right after historic Green by-election victory UK prime minister further weakened after Labour pushed into third place in traditional stronghold

Sure, campaigning on a platform of improving people's quality of life, shrinking the wealth gap and opposition to genocide probably does seem extreme when your role is to preserve neoliberal status quo by inflicting maximum pain on minorities and syphoning more public wealth off into private hands.

Catching up on the coverage of yesterday's bye-election, it's not only great to see the smile wiped from the bigoted Reform candidate's smug face by an committed anti-racist, but also the transphobic former Greater Manchester Police officer who stood for the Tories losing their deposit.

You prefer not to be dictated to by your party leaders? I must be misremembering Labour's three party whips and suspension of MPs for opposing welfare cuts and breaking the party line by voting for a ceasefire in Palestine.

Labour spent the campaign telling their voters that a vote for Greens was a vote for Reform. Your claim is that despite that messaging, "Labour voters" took a huge risk and shifted their entire vote to Greens in huge numbers. Sounds like they're not "Labour voters" anymore.

Just to be clear, you're claiming "Labour voters" and the Labour campaign voted against their own party "tactically" because that's how Labour wanted to keep Reform out? They didn't "lend their vote", they withdrew their support from a party that has abandoned them and forgotten where it comes from.

Labour had the opportunity to show their "meaningful resistance" two weeks ago when Britain First paraded through Manchester, were allowed to set up a stage, and called for ethnic cleansing while giving Nazi salutes.. 11 arrests, half were antifascists and the man who was assaulted by BF supporters.

This morning Labour's Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said that only Labour offered meaningful resistance to the danger of the growing far right, while the Greens offer daydreams.

This is Labour's "meaningful resistance":

In the Holocaust, Jews faced a continuing series of laws forbidding them to do certain activities & occupations. The goal was to remove them from society. The US is now doing this to trans ppl. Generally, once one State brings in such laws, others follow.

I voted tactically once, the one and only time I voted for Sinn Fein to unseat the DUP in north Belfast. SF went on to scab on the BDS movement and shake hands with genocidaires. I will never vote tactically again. You have to vote for the world you want to live in, even if you never get it.

Labour would rather lose to Reform than the Greens and that should tell you everything about who Labour are now, and who they represent.

A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice"
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.
