Quite funny that Starmer's allies are waking up to this point now …
Cuts to Winter Fuel… not in the manifesto
Disability benefit cuts… not in there either
Cutting jury trials… also not there
Digital ID… no mention
Raising employers NI… nope
Freezing tax threholds… nah
Contracts with Palantir… no
Attendees at the first Greens Organise meeting in Brighton on Friday 4th July.
“Greens Organise, thank you for joining” message.
💚 A great turnout of people ready to fight for change in Brighton on Friday!
🤩 & following Saturday’s launch, I’m now a Greens Organise member.
💥 We’re pushing hard for real change, against austerity, Labour’s complicity in genocide & the threat of the far right.

Inequality is ruining millions of lives.
Let’s make this country a little more fair shall we…
Welfare not warfare
Stop the cuts
TAX THE RICH
Last night, watched the final episode in a flood of tears.
If you haven’t seen this yet, WATCH IT!
Had forgotten how disturbing David Lynch’s Eraserhead could be when watching it again earlier this month. Sad & unexpected news of his passing yesterday.
Remember Al Franken. How quaint.

It's now 13 months since our friend, colleague and award-winning #journalist Minnie Chan went missing while on assignment in Beijing. Her children, current and former colleagues and a global community of journalists care only for her welfare and hope she is OK. We will never give up hope.
Bravo Paul Weller for organising tonight’s excellent Gig for Gaza benefit in Brixton Academy. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
What a turnaround for typos and grammatical mistakes. After years of being irritants, they are now quaint and charming evidence that the text was written by a human being.
Jonathan Hinder - just catching up with this report. Yes we need bold economic policies which improve the lot of ordinary people. But abandoning our working class base, seeking to hoover up the "woke" progressives is NOT the answer. Our party tried that in 2019, and look how that went!

If you find this lacks vision & is totally uninspiring - then there is an alternative.
If you believe that lifting minority communities & working class communities & tackling the climate crisis is the same struggle:

From yesterday, Kay Burley reads out an IDF press release & pretends its news.

Emma Brockes Guardian column. Headline "Never mind what Rachel Reeves did long ago at the Bank of England: what claims do you make on your CV?"
turns out Rachel Reeves repeatedly lying to the electorate is actually the fault of us, the disgusting british public. We must work harder to meet the expectations of our brave political and journalistic classes who, again, are only lying because we made them
"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.
The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.
Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?
In court, the government admitted UK-made F-35 parts risk being used in violations of international law & Israel isn’t committed to complying to international law.
Yet the government has continued arms exports, breaching legal obligations & exposing itself to criminal liability.
The account I was talking to that I thought was Perry Anderson turned out to be a Ukrainian scammer but I already bought them $4,000 of Verso Gift Cards please fix
Woke up this morning remembering how, after Kerry's 2004 loss to W, the Democratic party and the press decided it was abortion's fault. When I tell you that this is not an exaggerated memory:
American missiles are called Attackums; British missiles are called Storm Shadow; Russian missiles are called Kh-47M2 «Kinzhal». None of you are doing anything about those national stereotypes
NEW REEL POLITIK: I interview Toby Manning about his book Mixing Pop and Politics: A Marxist History of Popular Music, out now from @repeaterbooks.bsky.social, using Weller and the Stones as case studies in the connections between popular music and political ideology.

We need a completely new approach to local government. Councils are barely staying afloat and making cuts to libraries, youth centres and all sorts of social infrastructure because they struggle to fund social care and SEND provision. Government should directly fund these things.
UK journalists talking about echo chambers when 0.2% of journalists are Black and 2.5% Asian and 51% of the most influential journalists went to private school is a bit of a joke
