spent too long on LinkedIn today by accident and now I’m a CEO for an arms company who loves posting about ‘self care being a necessity not a luxury’

Sharpen those contradictions lads! #praxis #wescelerationism
I’m not certain that - given the disastrous situation that has directly resulted from these people getting 96% of what they demanded - giving them 100% of it is likely to improve matters.

People say Marxist theory is complex but it’s simple really.
Gramscians think you’ve got to drag Streeting left via coalition building
Whereas Wescellerationists understand that to destroy the Labour Party absolute Blairism must come to recognise itself in the premiership of comrade Streeting!

So many ‘super-teacher’ education strategies are basically designed to get the teacher to feel like they are responsible for bandaging-over problems produced en masse by the structural failings of society!
It’s really not fair on teachers and EPs should not fall into this trap!

Honestly sometimes I look at the fervent way in which some edu gurus describe what should be happening in classrooms and I'm exhausted just thinking about it. We will burn out the workforce if we make people think that they can never have a down moment. #EduSky

The EU is not going to do shit about this. We are all complicit in genocide, and complicit in genocide not only with Biden but with Trump too. We are all vassals of the American empire. These people fully understand how bad all of this is, and they have all chosen to side with power, not justice.

My totally genuine and authentic view as a spokesperson for, and representative of, the UK left is that if you don’t think Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is entirely Keir Starmer’s fault, you’re possibly not understanding social democracy correctly from a Marxist viewpoint
If your hot take from today is that *Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is Keir Starmer's fault* it might be the moment to recalibrate your social media feed

'Be realistic! You've got to give newly-elected politicians at least 3 or 4 years to fix anything'
Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Hello @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social. The DfE and @ofstednews.bsky.social should not be posting on a social media site where users are openly posting abusive images of women and children without censure. Why are government accounts still there, thus encouraging teachers to stay? You must be aware of it.

Obviously yet another grotesque example of the dangers of AI - which Starmer wants to ‘mainline into UK’s veins’…
Yet this is also a prime example of the way AI is used to shirk responsibility.
The apology comes from Grok, not the tech-bros who created Grok.

The call is coming from the inside the house lads…Liberals try to present Farage as abject, when he’s actually just pushing extreme Tory/Labour logic
I remember the history curriculum in 2002 and it was problematic back then! No mention of empire, colonialism outsourced to the US etc.

One of the first things a Farage government will do will be to make sure "the young are
taught correctly about our history," and if that doesn't set off all manner of alarm bells then it should. (MAIL)

Correct!
We need socialists to flood the Labour Party and vote for Wes, bringing about the Wescendancy, leading to the total destruction of the Labour Party…so we can finally usher in socialism.
I assume that’s the argument being made here right?

Great to speak with @hannahmargbrown.bsky.social about why the Labour Party must have socialists in it, why left wing solutions are what Scotland & the UK needs & why Labour is the best bet for people who want to see an equal society.
Thanks to everyone at @heraldscotland.bsky.social for the award

A bunny can become a cop, a reformed criminal can become a cop, anyone can be a cop if they want to! Cops are responsible for public safety, crime prevention, community cohesion! Cops ensure the right to return for dispossessed people! It’s cops cops cops all the way down!
Having watched Zootropolis multiple times I now think it’s popularity is due to the way it taps into the dominant affect of liberal melancholia in *so many ways*.
It’s a world where our failing liberal institutions work exactly how liberals imagine them to function!

Proud to announce that I am launching a new accelerationist tendency within the Labour Party in 2026.
It’s finally time to rejoin Labour and campaign for a Streeting premiership so he can destroy the party once and for all 🫡
