Progressives,

*just* attacking Labour isn’t as useful as creating leverage over them and using that to push them forward.

If we only attack, we help the people that are *much* worse.

That’s not a lesser-of-two-evils argument, it’s our broken system, that we can use our leverage to get them to fix
Is this the same Streeting that almost lost his seat in 2024? Winning by around 500 votes.

He’s (mistakingly) confident.

None of them are prepared for 2029.

They could start by acknowledging what the power of millions of voters did in 2024.

They’re not just the Epstein Files.

They’re the Epstein/Trump Files.

www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

Trump mentioned in unredacted files more than a million times.

Who’s surprised about any of this, really.

It’s what we’ve all been saying for decades. The rich behaving like they’re untouchable.
Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges
One document recounts that Trump said he "never" asked Epstein to leave Mar-a-Lago.

Labour's strategy has been shit.

→ Strategy lead, Morgan Mcsweeney, has resigned.

Labour's comms have been shit.

→ Director of communications, Tim Allan, has resigned.

Now is Labour's opportunity to actually do what they were elected to do, not to mimic Reform, which isn't working in any way.

Morgan McSweeney resigns. Good riddance!

A positive i like to remember: with all the decades of free media platforming and millions spent, Reform 'only' have around 30% support, which is a pathetic ROI, but a good indicator of who Britain really is, i.e. the country isn't buying it, even after a huge effort and cost to convince them.

The idea that Andy Street, Amber Rudd, David Gauke and Ruth Davidson are 'middle ground' or 'centre-right' is absurd.

What's this really for?

1. own the news cycle
2. rehabilitation
3. make country-ruining right wing ideas acceptable

But i guess it could help divide the right

Jenrick, how it started:
Conservative Association, ‘political mastermind of everything’

How it’s going:
“Tories broke Britain” (and he was a big part of that)

Reform = Tories, the worst of them

Want change? They’re not your team

At this rate we should just rename StopReformUK.Vote back to StopTheTories.Vote

If you’ve shared StopReformUK.Vote

Thank you 🙌

It’s one of many important tools we have at our hands to keep out fascism in the UK,

But so many people haven’t seen it before.

It simply helps you know which candidate to vote for in your area who has the best chance against the Reform candidate.

Your vote is your power. Use it tactically to get the Tories and Reform out, then influence your new MP and the next government.

They’re selling AI as if it’ll be the ultimate saviour to humanity.

But:

1. They have no intention of doing that, it’s about them owning and controlling everything

2. The only possibly way is through public collective ownership, let’s do Star Trek

3. They’re morons

Building movements around individuals can be very effective and efficient.

But be careful with your heroes, everyone can be shit sometimes.

(I know I can be shit!)

So it comes with risks.

It’s a paradox.

Assume best intentions.

Focus on achieving things.

But the collectives are the resilience

The reason the Reform trolls want to try and tell you tactical voting was about voting Labour in 2024..

And in 2029 probably try and pretend tactical voting is all about voting Green.

Is because they want you to forget FPTP can split the vote and let Reform win MPs.
January 11, 2026 at 2:05 PM
The same people who pretend not to see the fascism they support..

Also just call everything they don’t like ‘communism’ without even a clue.

It’s a simple script, but they’ve got us all distracted arguing with them about it.
January 11, 2026 at 12:49 PM
I know it’s against the nature of good people, and that might be the problem..

but maybe the good people need to take over and run the show from here on.

We need to stop platforming fascists.

What’s the natural outcome of platforming fascists?

They’re legitimised.

Even if that same platforming is calling them out.

The very platforming itself suggests they’re legitimate.

Platform answers, solutions, actions, and voices with integrity instead.

He could have been disqualified to run for president as a result of an attempted insurrection, but no.

Seriously, we need to start protecting our democracies. It’s not even hard.
January 7, 2026 at 2:34 AM
Now would be a good time for institutions and media to stop pretending neutrality is real.

If they care about acting to preserve (and improve) our way of living, take a stand, help out, get organised, show solidarity.

An idea to protect our democracy:

If you’ve incited, or attempted to incite, an overthrowing of you’re own government, using means outside of the legal democratic processes:

1. Any media should be fined for platforming you

2. You should be disqualified from candidacy for any elected position
