Something I find striking about Zach Polanski is how - unlike the vast majority of those who played a key role in Corbynism - his politics are so clearly not rooted in any kind of deeper analysis or intellectual tradition. It's all just a surface-level synthesis of 2010s left-wing slogans and memes.

Quick thought on recent Starmer stuff. It is an integral part of the British constitution for Labour prime ministers to be despised and vilified by a certain part of the middle class left. That is all.

Green Party upholding its noble tradition of solving the housing crisis by opposing new housing
The Mayor’s green belt proposal won’t solve London’s housing crisis. It’s just more luxury homes dressed up as a good deal for Londoners.
What we need is need rent controls, a freeze on Right to Buy and to take back control of the thousands of empty homes across the city.

Polanski has been assiduously courting the ex-Labour Corbynite Left. Good luck with that.
If anyone was going to launch an unexpected bid for the Green leadership, it’d be Zack Polanski, but this is … brave.

The Salisbury affair marked the beginning of the end for Corbyn, hopefully this will do the same for Farage.
This unspeakable piece of shit has been sucking up to Putin since the early 'don't-poke-the Russian-bear' days of the invasion. It seems he's now set on torching his own domestic reputation as part of his slavish devotion.
🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage suggests Zelenskyy was ‘rude’ and ‘very unwise’ in White House meeting
“Do you know what? If I turned up in the White House, I’d make sure I was wearing a suit and my shoes were cleaned”, he told LBC

The hard left must be very confused by the fact that the Trump doing the thing they like about Ukraine is the same person doing the thing they don't like about Palestinians.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

In the early 1930s, German communists, obeying Stalin, insisted Hitler didn't matter and was merely capitalism's dying gasp. The real enemy was "social fascism", i.e. Social Democrats, the moderate left. They kept saying this *after* most of their members were locked up in camps.
