i guess it illustrates that a thing is only bad if the 3 owners of our national press doesnt like it and vice versa. the justification; manifesto pledges, public opinion etc are the shallowest of justification.

yeah it probably is.

its funny, i laughed. but honestly we have 4 years of this shitshow, and it's getting darker week by week.

the Labour movements of the 20th C took the same name across diff countrys. so they could go for democratic socialists.

but i think the key thing I learned from the Mamdani campaign, is how important it is to have a well adjusted political candidate. i think this, more than charisma, is what Zack and Zohran have in common. you can see how essential that is to defusing right wing propaganda.

genuinely v surprised.

it's both, no? choose your own reality of social media amped up x100

Yes. I have my alarm set to 6music & in moments of waking I'm incensed by the coverage. I work in welfare rights & see asylum seekers regularly. The limited help I can give to people with no recourse to public funds is soul destroying. They have nothing. I really don't think many people realise this

there is no definition of left-liberal politics that can include what Labour is today.

they are trying to defacto destroy the right to asylum, a core human right. at least 23 asylum seekers have died by suicide from 2020-24 even before Labours new horror policies. imagine what this will do.

and its hard not to look at the state of the current labour party and see them as the product of this type of education system. "smart kids" whose one talent in actuality is obedience to heirarchy and power.

and many of them will identify as working class.

i have a friend who left after the brexit vote. it's now really obvious she made a great decision.
