@dorianlynskey.bsky.social describes how Maurice Glasman, the driving force behind Blue Labour thinks of himself as a 'Dark Knight' character. A Labour Batman, if you will. @iandunt.bsky.social won't.

This is compulsory reading.
A fair amount of nonsense has been written and said about the "security vetting" process for Mandelson's appointment. I wrote about what "Developed Vetting" really involves and why it's perfectly possible that it found nothing useful about Mandelson.

Yes great, but the last time he said this he followed it up with asylum policies which divided people and played on their sense of grievance. Hopefully the departure of McSweeney means things will be different this time, but I'm sceptical.
Starmer:

"The real fight is not in the Labour Party. It's with the right-wing politics that challenges that. The politics of Reform... Divide, divide, divide. Grievance, grievance, grievance. That will tear our country apart... I will be in that fight as long as I have breath in my body."

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

This story by @johnharris1969.bsky.social should be all over the domestic news, given that lack of affordable housing is one of the key factors fuelling the growth of the far right.

When people talk about reasons to leave X, the fact that the owner is a mass murderer doesn't get mentioned enough. The Grok porn stuff is foul. The naked white nationalism is foul. This is worse.
Too few people are talking about the blood on Elon Musk's hands.

When DOGE slashed foreign aid, it wasn't just numbers on a screen. It was insulin, food, and antibiotics being ripped away from the world's poorest children.

Musk is responsible for the death of thousands

Voters think the country is headed in the wrong direction and most of them blame Brexit. Just LOOK at the voter breakdowns in our research.

People get it. Brexit made us poorer and the goons who sold it to us, chiefly Farage, need to held accountable.

Today, millions of people will take part in local elections knowing that the results won't reflect what their community wants.

We'll end up with mayors supported by a third of their constituents and councils where many voices aren't heard.

FPTP is such an absurd system. It's time to replace it.

This is fascinating and a useful corrective to much of the rhetoric out there.
🧵 NEW: Is Britain really a high tax country?

Our collective tax bill is at its highest share of GDP since the 1940s

But actually, the tax and NI paid by the average worker are at their lowest in decades.

What’s going on?
