I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Huge thanks to everyone who watched my first ever set for HÖR Berlin. Still new to the whole DJing thing and have a lot to learn––apparently you're not supposed to just queue up an hour's worth of Audioslave tracks and then leave. Much room for growth!
