We are a police state, with poverty as deliberate policy, we defend apartheid & arm genocidal regimes, we ignore international law, we break treaties, we host global corruption, our covid-19 response failed, we promote racist hostility: we are a failed state.
If you are a socialist, or a communist, or an anarchist, or a climate activist, or covid cautious, I want to follow you. Are you there?

"Kerala expropriated private land and redistributed it to landless workers. This laid the foundations for Kerala’s remarkable social indicators: near-universal literacy, one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the global south, and the highest life expectancy in India”

I think the BBC’s political coverage has been not fit for purpose for years. You only have to look at how they’ve enabled #NigelFarage while at the same time completely vilifying Jeremy Corbyn. Not unbiased IMHO. #bbc #newsnight #r4today #bbcbreakfast #politicsLive

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*
"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Considering the blatant genocide-enabling bias of the mainstream media, the Right-wing has really opened a can of worms now. You might think they'd be content with their existing advantage (money for influence over principles), but they always want more...

You know how Lisa Nandy wasn't sacked & didn't resign despite accepting loads of money from someone she shoe-horned into a cushy, high-status position? She also didn't apologise for her lie that the ban on racist Israeli fans in Birmingham was antisemitic.
She's not much of a role model, is she...?

It is not justice if the rich can avoid court by paying off claimants. It is not justice when a young woman, traumatised and alone when compared to what she was going up against – the entire might of The Great British Establishment – doesn’t get her day in court.

If you find yourself attacking the highly-experienced author of the report rather than Sir Keir Starmer, there really is no hope for you; you too are enabling genocide.
Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.
The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

Everyone knows... look at the composition of the very carefully chosen photograph... everyone knows... this is the definition of red-handed... everyone knows... there will be little or no consequence... everyone knows... it'll blow over... & the noses will be back in the trough... everyone knows...
"I'm really, really sorry you noticed," Nandy may have said. "This looked like a bribe, but it really wasn't one, even though it looked exactly like a bribe, and smelled like a bribe, it definitely wasn't a bribe. I'm so sorry I got caught, it won't happen again..." 😉

Albanese didn't use the word 'collaboration' lightly; this was the deliberate choice of a highly-educated, diplomat working for the world body created to encourage respect for human rights & maintain international peace & security following the horror, specifically genocide, of World War II ...
That word 'collaboration' has a long and unsavoury history.
The report has not been officially released, but an advanced, unedited version has been made available by the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights.
