People are choosing a politics of decency, courage and imagination.

They’re choosing a politics that doesn’t scapegoat the vulnerable or remain quiet on injustice.

People are choosing to make hope normal again.

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

One of the most apt comments in this article applies to pretty much every aspect of Farage - he was said to be “blissfully unaware.” Smashes it.

It will be fine; they cry. It’s only Articles 3, 6 & 8 of the ECHR and it’s only for SOME people. It won’t affect ME
Labour are not like Reform or the Tories, who want to remove everyone from the ECHR

Ah yes! Thatcher’s famous justification that only privatisation will bring the investment that the utilities need.
UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.

In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.

Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.

No end to nightmare without public ownership.

A million times this. It’s incredible that the ‘big brains’ advising the Labour Party genuinely think that they can convert people who are fans of Farage to vote for Keir Starmer. It’s just not going to happen, however cruel your policies become.

Totally trust them to pursue their own (& perhaps Putin’s) interests & screw everybody else (including their supporters) in the process.
Do you trust #Farage and his new mega donor Christopher Harborne, who holds dual nationality and makes billions dealing in Crypto Currency? In 2024, Harborne, was accused by the U.S. of fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing and operating a shell company for illicit purposes.

Campaigners are also urging the #BBC to report the poor condition of people on #HungerStrike in UK prisons cos they oppose #Genocide. Anything happening? Anything at all?

When’s he going to visit #Clacton?
Farage arrives in Scotland today, and it should make our collective stomach heave that this repulsive, dangerous extremist has crossed the border. Amid scapegoating schoolkids and allegations of antisemitism anyone who supports this man is morally in the gutter

Nigel Farage’s Falkirk visit sparks outrage, with many Scots saying his presence north of the border should make “our stomachs heave”.
