@bencsmoke.bsky.social : "these people clearly don't believe in the universalism I believe in.. very wealthy people.. moving away to remove yourself [from paying] anything into this country is a social ill. We need to start talking about it in those terms" #GMB

To add to the below, Ben Smoke over on X has produced the attached articulate thread.
Karen Pollock invokes the sanctity of Holocaust Memorial Day while directly contradicting the HMD organisation’s own statement of the purpose of the day.
She is not fit for purpose.

In case any New Yorkers follow me and aren't yet decided about the mayor's race, let me share a series of articles from my decade-plus time covering Andrew Cuomo. To begin: when he made a fake political party dedicated to "Women's Equality" rewirenewsgroup.com/2014/07/30/n...

made a new playlist. ran a speedy 10k listening to it and cried three times along the way. great morning. 15/10.
very little joy to be had in being right about starmer but also won't apologise for pointing out that many of those who were the loudest champions of him// the harshest critiques of the left are now incredulously standing around asking wtf is going on + why noone warned them starmer was like this...
for 4 years many of us were shouting from the rooftops warning about starmer + how easily he'd throw everything + anyone under the bus to get or keep power and for 4 years, people like otto english told us we were wrong, labour'd get more left in power, that we were just tory enablers etc etc...
