The only acceptable Keynesianism to the Labour right is military / weaponised Keynesianism. Impossible to harness state capacity for jobs & infrastructure in eg the NHS, council housing, social care or education. But loadsa cash to funnel to arms manufacturers to build munitions that'll gather dust

"Opposition Party's bureaucracy deliberately loses multiple elections and coordinates with media figures to deligitimise their leader" is the kind of lurid fantasy most centrist melts imagine about Russian or Turkish opposition parties, but as always the call is coming from inside the house.

Anyone trying to shut down criticism of Labour by saying "Reform would be worse" is, at this point, merely helping Labour smooth Reform's path. Anyone who actually wants to stop Reform will recognise that the path to that goes through stopping this iteration of the Labour Party

It’s a sign of how insane the news cycle is these days that this historic failure of government policy got just one day of news coverage this week.
Not saying that’s right or wrong, but it’s astonishing how quickly the agenda moves on these days.

I'm just going to stay it. If Starmer was genuinely worried Farage was a Hitler to be there are so many ways to get rid of the guy. Starmer's already arresting pensioners for being anti-genocide and people are in prison for discussing possibly doing a peaceful protest.

Other things (UK specific): the gutting of local government and the union movement means people have far less democratic control. You can’t measure it in GDP but it must have an impact and you can credibly point to some of today’s dysfunctions as symptomatic of it
Being able to buy or rent your own home in your twenties was a genuinely significant difference to quality of life no?
Of course in many respects everyone's life could be better. But that was always the case. There was never a time when life was particularly better than now.
So at what point in recent years did we start to expect that the government would take care of everything? And why?

Where's the dilemma for the church? These knuckledraggers are saying honestly they're turning up to church not because they've had a religious awakening & now believe in god but bc it's part of their racist lifestyle. Since they're not believers why don't the vicars jst tell them to fuck off?

This little transphobic rant by Hadley Freeman in the Sunday Times really shows how pathetic gender critical ideology is. They play victimhood every day from the national media, while childishly insulting the existence of trans and non-binary individuals, calling any criticism of that 'silencing'.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

No, I'm sorry, these things are not equivalent & this distinction is very important. I hold no candle for Old Jezza & he legitimately fucked up with muralgate & got peevish about it when he was correctly called out, revealing the limits of his own anti-racism & a flaw in his character
I again point out: the big sales pitch to National Front voters is one of the central planks of the government’s policy platform, and e.g. the mural stuff was a Facebook comment that had to be hacked out of the arse end of digital history by dedicated wingnut cranks, and this distinction matters.
