That's it, keep going with the spats and statements ... Not only have you all screwed up the only chance we had of a real alternative to fascism, you've lost the trust of people who were absolutely dedicated to you all, and likely ruined your career. Just stop it.

Re 'join the greens'...I have been a member for a year and at grass root level there is little left politics, it's all environmental. Under Zac and with an influx of lefties maybe that will change. But if you involve yourself at a locally you will likely feel you've joined the lib Dems on bikes 🤷🏻♀️

Regardless of the reasons behind it, making a decision to set up a membership portal without the agreement of the others is reckless, self serving, possibly illegal, will probably finish her career and has likely taken away the only real opportunity we had for a proper left alternative.

McSweeney is in charge, Starmer has no idea at all. And every minister in charge is effectively redundant so tight is the grip. It's a zombie govt.

The world could and likely will ignore, if it happens. The world is very good at ignoring what is convenient for them! The world will not take on the fascist USA. Most of the world is desperately still trying to get a deal with the fascist USA.

Yes, they are only in it for themselves, furthering their careers, and enriching their already wealthy mates and future employers

Trump is just openly doing what they've done for generations but presented a pleasant veneer to the world.

He hardly took a stand for us all, like everyone else he settled for a huge sum of money. Those knoblords at the SUn are despicable, but I have no time for the Royals either

Sadly, he didnt take it to court 'for us all' as he said he would, he settled like everyone else. Appalling as those Sun knoblords are, I have not time for Harry or any of that lot...

I disagree. But right now, labour are failing, they are following the playbook of the Tories before them. And unless something very different happens, they will drive millions more to the far right. Then we have a wholly different problem.

It's all about money and power, simple as. You won't change it. We just have to hope that people realise it eventually, but by that time we will all be fooked

Absolutely this. They won't deliver, they will carry on with neoliberal policies, more austerity. Centrism enables fascism.
