A politician with seemingly no convictions, just β€˜safe hands’. It won’t end well.

It's best to be an accelerationist in 2026 because at least you can enjoy the trajectory.

I feel it’s leaking into other areas - alienation leading to anti-immigrant expressions; hatred of the hegemonic parties; despair at Whitehall’s inability to react to local concerns.

β€˜Cost of living’ and demographic changes are two other root causes.

One root of discontent/β€˜left behind’ may be disempowerment - hollowing out of communities whose local decision making and tax raising have both been mostly removed and transferred to Whitehall by the hegemonic parties.

Day 423 of #GeorgiaProtests

1. Further international isolation of the regime, which is an enabler and sanctions evasion tool in the Russia-Iran-China axis;
2. Further targeted sanctions. It works;
3. Aid to CSOs and independent media.

Please amplify! Thanks!

It’s the money - crash the markets whilst your associates short it.

Row back and they profit on the rebound.

Repeat.

It would be helpful if Labour would do some preparatory work on forming a progressive alliance.

FTR Greens stood down many candidates in 2017 which was never acknowledged or repaid by Labour, so don’t expect β€˜But Reform…..’ to get any traction with GPEW on a repeat without some alliance.
