It might not be right that we ignore places that have no meaning to us; no ties; no bonds; that we didn't create by stealing someone else's land and just handing it over because Churchill/MP's/Lords didn't want them here after the war - but its the reality.

They really don't understand that "we're not sending the weapons of death" and "we have been told they are our allies and the good guys" plays a large part in how people feel. When we send weapons of death and play a part in the genocide there, we will be just as angry...

They all promised to leave... so now they should all fuck off to Red state as promised. The people have spoken, they said loudly: "fuck off cunts".

Absolutely insane.

Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.

Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.

The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

ampallanguk.bsky.social @ampallanguk.bsky.social · 3h

If Mamdani were standing for a Labour seat in the UK, he'd be kicked out of Labour on some trumped up charge quicker than a dog farts after eating. Wes Streeting would be leading the mob for his expulsion. Similar can be said for The Guardian, over there they love him - over here they'd hate him.

This is simply true: ten years ago I was still writing angry posts ticking off the Sun for battering the BBC and I regarded protecting it as very important indeed. Now, I wish them all the very best in the pit that they determinedly dug for themselves.

nobody on the left cares because the bbc has spent 20 years lying about every left wing politician and activist in the country

Tim Bale @timbale.bsky.social · 1d

I know it's got a little world of its own, but the Telegraph (and other right-wing papers) standing up for Trump against the BBC is a striking illustration of how far off the deep (state?) end they've gone.

I'm not saying the BBC deserves it... but the BBC deserves it. Had it not gone in to bat for the reich-whinge and made shit up the left would still feel protective of it. As it is, it can fucking burn to the ground for all we care.

Don't endorse sexual assaulters?

Labour is not left. You know this. Stop pretending otherwise. Labour hasn't be "left wing" or "centrist" since McSweeney and the other Labour First'ers and Labour to Win and Blue Labour infiltrated it with people that are only slightly to the left of fucking Farage.

Please can Sensibles stop talking about Labour as being part of a 'left bloc' when they are quite clearly & even say so themselves part of a 'right bloc'

Sam Freedman @samfr.bsky.social

Notable in today's YouGov that the centre/ left bloc - Lab/Green/LD/SNP are on 54%. With Reform/Tories on 43%. That's the biggest differential in a long time.
I think useful to track blocs given instability between parties at the moment.
