Labour policies are making everyone but the richest poorer & our infrastructure more decrepit, while the country gets more and more racist & hateful every week with Starmer endorsing it.
This isn't a "comms issue". It's a shitty government issue.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!"
m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

Corbyn and Zarah aren’t splitting the left. Labour told the left to fuck off in so many different ways you could write a longform essay on the topic.

corbyn could literally go into trafalgar square and do a liquid shit in front of a TV crew & call the party the clown party I couldn't give a flying fuck or any of the media say or think about this party after last time. they just want to kill brown people with impunity and he is a threat to that
Lxds I really wouldn’t worry about the British press unfavourably reporting the initial setup stages of this new Corbyn party, they’ll still be doing it once it is set up

The UK has finally sanctioned Smotrich & Ben-Gvir.
Good. Now sanction the entire Israeli government & military officials.
Genocide, war crimes, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, mass displacement & land theft aren’t just the agenda of two extremists — they’re official state policy.

Since Labour took office, 10,000 more children have been plunged into poverty by the refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap.
Increasing military spending while millions of children go hungry is not a tough decision. It’s the wrong decision.

I don’t mean Zoe in particular, but having spent most of a decade saying what it was while our media class gargled in raw terror at the imminent tyranny of a bunch of students, nurses and social workers, I would say: it’s not that you were frozen with fear. You *had more important priorities*.

The rising neofascism is having its path smoothed, in no small part, by garden variety reactionaries who like to imagine themselves as enlightened liberals.
Time and again we see them, making squalid little contributions like this.
