Are people still clinging on to the hope that Labour might eventually govern in a Labour kind of way, rather than just the same as the previous 14 years of Tory failure and Reform chasing?

Seems pretty crazy.

Greens are the progressives now, Labour have abandoned that ground.

There's not a chance Israel will keep to the ceasefire. They engineer a way to go back to the previous rate of killing.

Trump told you, he'd fix this and you'd never need to vote again.

There's no chance you'll get an even remotely fair election going forward.

And there are lies and liars.

"Strengthen ties with the US"

Good luck with that!

Reform is just the excuse, these could ghouls actually want to be right wing. They hate the left, they aren't progressive. Their ideology and their job is to carry on the work of the Tories for the last 14 years and keep the wealth and power moving to the elites.

But I'm sure that if they pay Trump personally enough in private bitcoin, they could be involved. He won't be giving those contacts out to just anybody. No, kiss the ring, make the donation and you could be in the running.

This was better than your weird and aggressive "interview" you did on LBC.

It was extremely interesting to hear Zacks views with a little breathing room, even if you did cut into his explanations a little too often.

I reckon he might have won you over somewhat in the end.

New Green voter?

Wait, weren't they promising us that we'd grow our way to utopia? We're they lying about that too?

When has Israel ever kept to a ceasefire?

No, Israel doesn't want peace, Netanyahu can't risk it, he'll be facing jail in his own country, and they want all of Gaza anyway. They have spent all that war money just to go back to where they were.

Stick to why people should vote FOR you, not why they shouldn't vote for the Greens.
Win people over rather than alienate people who would be your allies.

Do we know how many Palestinians Israel will be able to slaughter on a daily basis now? Because before the 7th Oct, they were getting through quite a lot then as well, are they just going back to that level, or just what they can get away with going forward?

Mart @martw.bsky.social · 10d

Given Israels track record of breaking every single ceasefire so far, the respite may be only short lived. Let's hope they stop killing this time.

Mart @martw.bsky.social · 10d

You are not a serious paper. The US could have stopped this genocide at any time during the last two years. All they had to do was stopped funding and arming and providing political cover for Israel.
You don't get to pat yourselves on the back now after so many needless and tragic deaths.

Yep, seems like they didn't think they needed the Left. That majority, built on very unreliable foundations went to their heads. And now they are realising they have no chance of winning the next election.

"Fucking Idiots"

How's that shouting at people working out for you?

And you wonder why Labour is haemorrhaging so many voters!

When you relentlessly tell your support base to fuck off, you don't get to spit your dummy out in a tantrum when they do as you asked.

Largest movement there was for the Greens. It won't be long before they are consistently out polling Labour and a vote for Labour will be the one that lets Reform in.
This tactic of abandoning and attacking their own voting base in favour of chasing Reform isn't going to work.

Agree, Lewis was terrible, I've never seen him so angry and interview so poorly. It was very odd.

I normally like Lewis, I used to see him as one of ours, someone on the left, but he's not, he's just another aggressively centrist journalists.

Waves hand at Starmer and Labour

"We're fucked"

Too busy being neoliberals, protecting wealth and imposing digital ID and will happily pass the reins to fascists without a moment of remorse.

Lols, the economy!

After 14 long relentless years of failure. No, I don't think so.

It's embarrassing what has become of the Tacky Tories as they desperately search for a way to postpone their well earned demise. Hopefully, their Trumpian scraping the barrel will be their final death throes.

Mart @martw.bsky.social · 19d

I think those US military generals need to follow the advice they were given yesterday and remove one particular, very overweight Commander in chief. Take the beardy one too and while they're at it put Miller in an insane asylum.

Who is buying the houses? Private individuals, or wealth buying assets, whether that's businesses/asset management firms or wealthy individuals?

Does the article look at that?
