Because there are considerably more of us to feed, water and house now than there has ever been in the entire history of our species.
Are you offering to be one of those who starves or drowns or migrates? Are you going to welcome millions of climate refugees or fight in resource wars?

No one is remotely surprised given the tech-servile habits of the current govt, although I doubt anyone predicted Starmer adopting a Robert Plant aesthetic.

I suppose Starmer can counter with a promise to deport people before they arrive 🙄

'Pragmatic' Labour centrists having their usual reply-free and quote-free love in.
When will they realise that sensible centrism has failed?
Are they waiting for Macron to accept it?

If there's one thing that 'classical liberals' hate it's being shown that their supposedly free markets are based on control and coercion.

![SWIFT and Exclusion: Cross-border payment systems like SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) have been transformed into tools of coercion. If a country “displease[s] western bosses,” it risks being “thrown out of the system,” as Russia experienced.
Institutional Capture: The dollar, the IMF, and the World Bank are all used as geopolitical weapons, ironically undermining the very institutions the U.S. helped create.
The NDB’s Shackles: This weaponization reaches even the heart of BRICS institutions. Batista Jr., having helped build the NDB, revealed that the bank stopped lending to Russia, a founding member, solely out of fear of sanctions. Had the NDB continued, it risked losing its credit rating, dictated by the “triopoly” of American credit rating agencies (Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch). Similarly, the bank fears accepting new members like Iran, Cuba, or Venezuela due to the potential negative impact on its credit rating.
Secondary Sanctions: This coercive environment affects not only targeted nations (such as Russia and Iran) but also trading partners. Countries like Brazil, for instance, bear the risk of potential secondary sanctions for trading with nations deemed “toxic” by the West.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:icqhs27sec4n74t2mvottncx/bafkreieanefjm3ypqwhky2o7aolvow7kc4lj75jeasi7xd2f4tsb7khur4@jpeg)

Westminster inspired race riots in Birmingham.
I'm sure someone's agenda has been fulfilled tonight in Birmingham, and Starmer and Tommy Robinson and all their fascist and centrist allies should be well pleased with themselves.

![Associated with the Crusades, the red-on-white cross has its origins in the 10th century. It was used as the ensign of the Republic of Genoa perhaps as early as that time.[citation needed] The symbol was later adopted by the Swabian League in the pre-Reformation Holy Roman Empire. George became associated as the patron saint of England in the fourteenth century, replacing St. Edmund the Martyr.

Tony Blair was Thatcher in drag, and I often find myself wondering what the country would look like today if John Smith hadn't died.....

Weird that all these people are so keen on claiming that the new party is anti-trans before it even has a name, a leader or any policies.
Are you sure that there's no agenda here?
