Yes, the leaking to the right wing press does not feel good at all.

Cool offering from @versobooks.bsky.social: "October 31st is David Harvey's 90th birthday. To celebrate, preorder his upcoming book The Story of Capital and take 30% off all of his previously published works."

"What is the point of the spoils of office if you can't spoil yourself in office?"

There’s so much research emphasizing this point yet it has no effect on centrist parties who, with little to offer on bread and butter issues, often want to boost far-right issues to create elections in which they are the only alternative to Fascism. Look at Macron, it doesn’t work for long.

The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) has some choice words…

…for a PM who aggressively inserted racially-charged accusations into a local safety issue, seeking, seemingly on personal whim, to override well-informed local law & democracy mechanisms, and risking public safety.

We need to get past the idea of these people being "radicalised" on X. The British ruling class has been racist for centuries. For a while that was suppressed by hard won anti-racist social norms. But after years of chipping away with e.g. talk of "legitimate concerns" those norms are now collapsing

Daily Mail, 2021: BRITAIN'S RACE REVOLUTION Landmark report says UK 'a model to world on diversity and finds - NO evidence of institutional racism

And we’ll have to ask, because it’s difficult to square the current all-channels racist insanity with e.g. 2019’s crushing victory for the forces of decency over the extremely racist, hateful left, and the total eradication of prejudice in 2021. Nobody can explain.

Yum - thank you @davidgeorge.bsky.social - melt in the mouth choclatey buttery goodness. 😀

In the States particularly the federal govt could protect losses for retirees if their was the political will. But you guys are still fighting for socialized healthcare. What a mess for ordinary people. ❤️

Oh shit that is really bad. And all those investors will expect the public to bail them out, followed by another decade of austerity. We have to be ready to say no to a bail out for the rich and instead protect our public sector and ordinary people.

Israel boarded the boats in international waters, so the word "kidnap" is correct.

Israel continues Gaza attacks killing 5 Palestinians despite Trump ceasefire call

Last night, Israel launched a deadly attack on the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, killing at least 21 Palestinians and leaving more than 15 trapped under the rubble.

‘Our children are wasting away before our eyes’: starvation deaths on the rise in Gaza as famine continues As aid trickles into Gaza, famine-related deaths keep rising. The Gaza Health Ministry warns that “mass death” will soon be seen among infants, as mothers feed them “water instead of baby formula.”

Red ink line drawing says, "Israel has no red line." Drawings include buildings, a tent, a military drop, pastries, body armor, and maps of Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine. A sailboat and a globe are also depicted. @khadija.draws

Thousands of civilians killed.
Food, water, and aid weaponised.
Gaza reduced to rubble.
These are red lines, which the Israeli gvmt continues to cross.
The UK gvmt must take action now to avoid complicity in these atrocities. SHARE to amplify. #RedLineForGaza

Zack Polanski delivers first conference speech as Green Party leader The newly-elected leader of the Green Party in England and Wales has used his party conference speech to attack the Labour Party and Reform UK.

What a first day of conference!

Deloitte UK’s chief executive receives 17% pay rise to £4.9m Richard Houston’s increase compares with 2.9% for staff at the Big Four firm and comes after warning of lower bonuses at biggest division

Deloitte UK’s chief executive receives £700,000 pay rise to £4.9m.

Firm has a history of delivering dud audits. Rewards for failure.

In common with other LLPs, the firm avoids paying employer national insurance on partners' profit share.

The level of political ineptitude shown by Starmer and his coterie is pretty spectacular. It's like they are secret Trotskyists destroying the Labour party from within.

I think the "darker path" he's worried about is that the services of very sensible, clever, and grown up politicians like him will no longer be needed.

Imagine saying such a thing with Reform leading in the polls.

Trumps NSPM-7 memorandum is designating speech against Republicans, or anyone in their tent as domestic terrorism. This means all of the counter-terrorism apparatus is focused inward on the majority of the American population. It is an attack on American constitutional rights, yet barely discussed.

"With the cabinet a monochromatic grey of tired, obsolete managerialism, there is every danger the upcoming deputy leader election might see an outbreak of politics."

Our political discourse pits identity politics against economic populism. But the choice is false and contributes to incredible confusion about the working class across the political spectrum. For @hammerandhope.bsky.social I show why and sketch an alternative (sorry to crosspost):
