All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

Met the former editor of the York Evening Press last night, who said in the mid-90s he had 85 people working directly for him, including nine staff photographers. All that to serve a city and surrounding area of about 200k people. Local news was wilddddd.

Reeves considers cut to green levies in effort to reduce cost of energy bills Exclusive: Chancellor hopes to save up to Β£170 from average bill but industry insiders say move would be β€˜disastrous’

Can’t quite believe the Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills πŸ‘€. Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating the insulation industry at same time. Total madness πŸ‘‡

thanks for this! there's something horribly inevitable about what's happened!! what could we have done differently. . . and what can we do now, to give ourselves (most Brits) a better future. . .it's all a bit sobering and depressing, even if stitches events together in a way that makes sense!!

thanks Anand. . . I love the description of Labour being in a "defensive crouch" I left the UK after #Brexshit and look back, from Amsterdam with shock and sadness. . . it all makes much more sense now! but I'm not sure I can see much hope in your analysis. . . what can any of us do to help??

The principle that we all contribute to high quality public services and a welfare safety net is a good one. Solidarity is a virtue. It’s not progressive nor left-wing to attack it as a principle. We all contribute, but those with the broadest shoulders contribute the most.

Mamdani shows a different way is possible The New York mayor’s resounding victory is a warning to Trump and his own party’s old guard

β€œLondon and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

A 15-point win for VA gov. A 5-point win for VA AG in a race he was expected to lose. A 13-point win for NJ gov, in a race that was expected to be close. An outright majority in NYC in a three-way race. A 30-point win for Prop 50 in CA. #BlueWave #Election2025

As the media tries to whitewash the death of Dick Cheney today, with headlines reading β€˜Influential Vice President’ rather than β€˜War Criminal,’ it’s a good time to remind everyone of the legacy he left behind and the damage still unfolding because of him.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Trump and MAGA have been forcefully REJECTED by the American people.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the β€œwe” in β€œwe the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.
