When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

The argument that a Green vote is a wasted vote is now null.
The argument that a Green vote helps Reform by hurting Labour is now void.
The Labour Party is finished.
It's now either Farage, Reform and hate.
Or Polanski, The Green Party, hope, and decency.
Which side are you on?
Vote Green!

I've decided to go back to doing support work even though the money isn't great, just because I don't want to do meaningless. soul destroying work.
So I'll be working as an enabler/PA for a visibly impaired woman.

One Battle After Another is an action movie that uses 'revolution' as a wafer thin aesthetic.
It reminded me of Star Wars in that sense. Like it is made by someone with no real interest in revolutionary politics.
It's good, but I was disappointed.

I inevitably drew the vague parallels with Liverpool.
The Manics’ comeback single was A Design For Life. A triumph, a smash hit.
It came out 14 months after Edwards disappeared. They’d been recording, did a couple of gigs, but nobody really judged them for over a year after they lost their mate.

I went to a screening of a Manic Street Preachers documentary tonight. James Dean Bradfield (centre) did a Q&A afterwards.
The film is about the aftermath of the disappearance of Richey Edwards and the making of the subsequent album, Everything Must Go. It’s great.

I've just started wearing reading glasses for the first time and it is quite remarkable how I can now transition from Charles Bronson to Antony Fantano in a second.

All our problems, both offensively and defensively, on and off the ball, are emanating from the attack.
I'm not convinced we are able to play any two of Wirtz, Isak, Ekitike and Salah together.

Liverpool's defence has come under a lot of criticism this season, most of it fair.
Yet based on the corresponding fixtures the defence has been broadly the same, with the attack far more of an issue. We'd better have a look into that: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/its-the-at...

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

It's like peados joining the priesthood. Can't just keep your head down. Gotta go hard publicly in the opposite direction. Hide in plain sight.

I find it highly ironic that the party that bemoaned the deep state and alleged the cover-up of pedophiles is now embroiled in defending the party that has the largest pedophile cover-up in American history.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

I do hope younger leftists are a lot more sceptical about the importance of the middle-class academic left.
We absolutely do not need 100 Harry Potter lookalikes called Thomas selling shit books rehashing the same, basic ideas.
Bunch of parasites.

Someone has obviously told Starmer that beginning every answer with "let me be absolutely clear..." makes him sound strong and honest, and that person is a prankster.

UK politics live – latest updates
Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and “it makes people feel very scared” Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics was “tearing our country apart”.
Speaking to GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage’s Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics “that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago”. Continue reading...

Stats without any understanding are pointless.
It does make sense that Salah might get caught offside more in his twilight years, though.
As pace declines, you need to take more risks and go earlier in order to get in behind.
Nunez frustrated because he had the pace not to need to.

I'm not sure any PL footballer has ever performed as badly as Salah this season without being dropped. I certainly can't remember one.

Sure, the BBC news and editorial output is currently Der Sturmer for transphobes, rightwing cranks and pro-genocide Israelis and their sycophants but also they paid this guy to make a podcast so really what can you say
There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate

It's political speak. Starmer is doing what he always does, playing the long game, and he is bloody good at it. A statesman builds bridges not walls. He knows the narcissist won't be happy on the sidelines and, because he has no actual principles, will come back to the table if a deal looks likely.

Is there anything more repulsive than a thick, naive fool with a sub GCSE level understanding of politics who patronises others, high on George Orwell and The News Agents?
Alas, my dear summer child, we have a FPTP electoral system. It is designed to force voters to vote against the party they hate/fear, rather than for the party they support. Majority of voters will vote for the party in their constituency most likely to beat the party they fear.

Deep progressive passing is irrelevant if none of your forwards can hold on to possession.
The issues are entirely in our front line.
The midfield is the same as the one that walked the league last season.

Against "weaker" teams, we've struggled against long balls and long throws.
Against a strong team today, we struggled because we lack deep lying progressive passing.
The first is perhaps a surprise. The second is not.

Hugely significant, and backs up the suspicion I've been airing for a while that media and celebrity figures will be far more generous to Polanski than they were Corbyn, even if their positions are much the same just because they like his vibes more and see him as a more savvy media figure.
