In a few months time…

Polls suggest younger people vote massively for progressive parties, not reactionaries like Reform

The revelations are coming thick and fast…

According to @findoutnow.bsky.social's poll, 65% of pensioners are planning to vote for parties (Con & Ref) that are committed to massive cuts in public spending

Do they not realise that pensioners are BY FAR the largest recipients of public spending?

How do they think this will work out for them?

Even if this is slightly out (FindOutNow tends to be an outlier), this represents a huge shift towards the Greens and away from Labour

For all those Labour types having a pop at the @greenparty.org.uk for our commitment to replace private landlords with council and social housing

Once again, Greens doing what Labour should be doing

So, I got round to voting in the @greenparty.org.uk leadership election

It is very clear to most activists & observers alike that the party is facing an enormous opportunity, and that we must change gear to achieve it

Only @zackpolanski.bsky.social is offering that and so it simply has to be him

1 in 6 UK residents were born overseas, which means they are proportionately less likely to be in prison compared to UK-born residents

The Times headline suggests the opposite because they are seeking to incite racial hatred.

Going back over some of Henry George’s arguments and am struck by the clarity with which he explains even the modern economy. He wrote Progress & Poverty in 1879, but this passage is as relevant now as it was then.

If only more people understood this simple notion

FPTP adherents: first past the post prevents extremists from getting elected

The real world:

Did you see Labour’s s group photo, right in front of a ‘Vote Green’ poster?

It’s almost as if, unconsciously, they can see which way things are going…

The Tories really are nasty homophobic bigots

LGBT+ people pay taxes too - why shouldn’t some of that pay towards supporting LGBT-inclusive work?

“People voted for ‘Change’ so we’ve decided to change the rules on disability benefits to make life harder for the seriously sick and disabled”

#StopLabourAusterity

If this poll is correct, this is the most unpopular Labour govt in history. After just 7 months!

If that doesn’t provoke a fundamental course correction by Starmer et al, then nothing will

Micro-management is the mark of the incompetent, clueless leader

Who is going to read all these emails? (Nobody)

And what are you going to do with the information in them? (Nothing)

And what benefit will it all bring (none)

They have no real plan or ideas and will be exposed soon…

Blue matcha. You see something new every day

So, today I am the same age as Blanche in the first season of the Golden Girls

Officially old, but also officially in denial!
