This morning I was wondering too about the impact that X has on the perceptions of mainstream journalists. These are the top 3 tweets replying to Mamdani's last campaign video. No wonder they lack true analyses, their perception is always already distorted by spending too much time over there.

Presenters of BBC Radio's flagship news show react to news from NYC. One is on repeat: 'what happens when he can't deliver his programme?' The other can't stop trying to attribute Zohran's victory to his personality, his campaign style, anything but his programme. Pure ideology.

Yes here's our @novaramedia.com #ACFM podcast about Your Party. Inevitably there were things we didn't get around to: e.g. the contentious role of the 'independent MPs'. We DO talk about historical precedents, online democracy and competing ideas of authority in a social media world.
The latest #ACFM podcast discusses Your Party. @NotJustYouHere, @jemgilbert, and I try to add some perspective on the mess of its founding while recognising it's a hugely difficult task. Luckily these numbers seem to indicate the project isn't still born.

I think the real significance of Caerphilly is that once centre-left voters start accepting that they might have to vote for parties to the left of Labour in order to block Reform, then the entire basis for centrist political strategy since the 1970s is out of the window.

Please, please, please if you know anyone who even might be in Unison, encourage them to vote for Egan. This would be the biggest win for progressive forces in the UK since 2015.

An observation on language and the Caerphilly by-election result.
I’ve read that the result is the outcome of ‘tactical voting’.
I define tactical voting as this reasoning.
I support party x.
I oppose party y.
In order to achieve the latter I will vote party z (1/2)

First Oswald Moseley was sent packing by 6000 anti fascist miners, now Farage had to run away from the count, so he wasn't similarly embarrassed!
Now unless Labour do change their mind and go into coalition with Reform (!) we can block Reform from being in the Welsh Government in May.

David’s right of course. Except I think a lot of the MPs do understand all this and simply don’t care.
This is the same mentality that allowed Labour to become complicit in the genocide to begin with. These MPs simply don't grasp the enormity of what their government has done, or the horror and revulsion felt by a significant chunk of their voter base. I predict this will be worse than Iraq for them.
Labour MPs reckon that if the ceasefire holds it will be harder for opponents to mobilize against them over the Israel-Palestine issue in the next election. There are concerns though about whether the fragile agreement will hold. More in London Playbook PM.
