These are the same Tel Aviv fans that tried to destroy Amsterdam? ' there are no schools in Gaza because the children are dead' ? Lovely chaps. It's not anti semitic to ban racist, violent thugs

Whatever that means. I haven't even signed up to Your Party. I would like fewer fascists though. And if that's just a general 'minorities included' then that's ok. I expect everyone to be able to live whatever life they want - providing they don't encroach on others rights or expectations.

For Pete's sake, can we have less of the 'transphobia' bollocks. We're trying to save ourselves from actual fascists, not worry about who's going to use which toilet.

You may be correct about populism, but Farage is a populist, using any methods to gain power for ends that do not reflect what he says. Polanski is clear about the message, which is core. They are not remotely similar.

Exactly. Who knew he was anti-semitic? 🫥
I bet that's the first attempt. Or they'll discover that he flew in a plane once, which obviously makes everything else he says nonsense

And that's the closest they'll get to success

They'll probably find some way of redefining Palestine.

Can't we eject them from the UN? They're not very uniting

They did!

You have to be a moron to see any similarity at all. Musically or culturally. People said the Osmonds were the new Beatles, and Oasis. They weren't. Good in their own rights, but you can't be anything like the Beatles after the Beatles. They already invented everything. Just facts.

Well, the Beatles wrote most of their own stuff and literally changed popular music. Taylor Swift co-writes tunes with commercial songwriters and has zero effect on the world of music. Just magnificent marketing. I'm sure she's lovely, but any poor comparisons are nothing to do with her gender.

So is the lack of declaration of not being being anti trans going to become the new 'Corbyn is anti-semitic' smear?

You're all wondering why he would do the things he's doing because they make no sense for the survival of the party. That is your answer. The Labour Party is being destroyed from within for another Overton Window lurch to the right. Choice between LibDems and Reform? Not a social thought in sight...

Well, *checks notes*, I didn't say I wanted it...

Yvette Cooper made me vote Green in 2005 (ish). Nothing has changed. A despicable non person. Starmer is just a paid-for stooge. No beliefs or values.

twombleyburwash.bsky.social @twombleyburwash.bsky.social · Jul 30

By recent polling, they've lost 50% of their support. With more to follow. The annoying thing is that that is what they want. Destruction from within.

Which is why we need a broad range. Maybe not centre right, but certainly everyone else.

twombleyburwash.bsky.social @twombleyburwash.bsky.social · Jul 30

I've signed up, and I'm sure they don't. I don't see myself as that either, but no narrow band party achieves anything in the long run.

twombleyburwash.bsky.social @twombleyburwash.bsky.social · Jul 30

Only a broad church of political opinion can survive. Corbyn had the right idea in 2017 by keeping centrists and even centre rights in the party. Current Labour MPs must have inboxes full of "I wish I hadn't voted for you" and may well be tempted

Keir Starmer split the Labour vote. Stupendously.

Janey Godley certainly did

Not really. You're a bigoted fruit loop and you're grasping at straws too attack her. She's had an entire life of racism

Anti-Zionism you mean. Let's get the terms correct.
