The annoying thing about fleas is that when you shake them off over here, they can reappear elsewhere - this time in New York
Even as @uklabourparty.bsky.social celebrates the success of a progressive in New York, they may wish to reflect upon whether Mamdani would have had any chance in UK Labour

I think we can say with some certainty that the Guardian sports writers know absolutely nothing about Newcastle United and their fans.
Most fans with few exceptions are desolate that the Mackems sit above us in the league and are desperate for the natural order of things to be restored !

Just been watching this on Newsnight.
Makes you wonder why the likes of @vicderbyshire.bsky.social bother.
Yusuf never answered any questions honestly and frankly it was a waste of time.
I understand the BBC thinks it can challenge Reform - they need to stop deluding themselves and everyone else

Everything you ever needed to know about Reform right there in a single tweet ..............
Are we really going to let these racists anywhere near the levers of power in our country ?

Bravo Helena Kennedy for socking it to both the Tories and the Media over fanning the flames of the immigration debate and ignoring the damage Brexit had been doing.

Thank you Claire 😍
3.8 million Indian troops fought and put everything on the line for THIS country across two world wars.
400k of those were Sikhs. I'd say their descendants living here and contributing have every right to call this place THEIR home.

It's not just recent migrants. People who have lived here for decades, given in service and earned their place in British society are being targeted as racist politicians egg them on in a throwback to the 70's
Jenrick, Lam, Pochin and their apologists have a lot to answer for.

I'm not suggesting anything. Just making the point that for the man on the street, perception is very much their reality and no amount of logic is going to shift that.
People see prices rising by much more than the CPI or RPI daily. Not scientific but it's this sort of thing I'm on about.

Its a very complicated subject but to go back to where this all started from, there isn't any compelling evidence that pensioners in the UK are especially well off or that state expenditure on pension provision is especially high. I don't see the argument therefore for attacking the triple lock.

This is a slightly different version of the chart you posted earlier. I would say looking at that ..... probably not. However what this doesn't tell you (and I don't know the answer) is the relative cost either. I know Europe generally taxes more and gives more back whereas we don't

Polanski is the only UK politician that speaks with this clarity on the issue of Gaza.
Well done Ireland on electing her, You've shown Britain the way.

That is what the government should have been working on these last 15 months or so. The fact that business confidence remains so poor isn't on the last government anymore (awful though they were) - is fairly and squarely on this one.

These people, citizens of the UK, engaged in a genocide against defenceless women and children. An affront to everything decent people stand for - that's why we must get these people rounded up and behind bars as quick as we can.

What did someone the other day say about Karma ?
Schadenfreude and bitterness is of course not a good thing but .............. I think in this case I might just make an exception.

Do we need pages and pages of analysis to work this out ?
The team at NUFC was set up to make sure Isak was a success. He was our only striker and we needed his goals.
At Liverpool, he is not the lynch pin he was at NUFC and the team is not set up around his playing style. Seems simple to me

Although Diwali originates in India, it's an occasion whose ideals and meaning we all can (and should) share and celebrate.
So wherever you are, on this Diwali, may I wish you all health, happiness and prosperity in the year ahead.
We need more light in our world !

I watched @zackpolanski.bsky.social last night on BBCQT and decided that it was time to get off the fence and pitch my tent somewhere.
I think Zack is providing just the kind of robust leadership the left of politics needs and I am delighted and proud in equal measure to stand alongside him.

There's been a lot of coverage in the media today of the 1,200 or so Israelis killed by Hamas on 7/10/2023.
Israel has responded with nothing less than a genocide that few in the media seem to care about.
So to the families of the 65,000 Palestinians murdered, know that many care about you too.

I'm sure this will be cited as evidence that Labour is scaring the rich into leaving the UK.
I have no idea what this guy paid in income tax but he spent most of his time in the UAE anyway so will probably have been non resident already - therefore unlikely to be paying anything.
No great loss !
