“It just feels completely disconnected from material reality.”
Establishment politicians are so detached from our lives. Right now, politics is something that's done to us, not for us.
A strong, anti-capitalist Green Party can change that.

Netanyahu, like Trump, is a feckless &ruthless leader with ZERO empathy for the suffering of others or the pain his decisions inflict on others. NONE. Zilch. Nada. He has made the Hamas Oct 7 war crimes an excuse for wanton, indiscriminate genocidal war of revenge against INNOCENT civilians in Gaza.

The families of Israeli captives have accused PM Netanyahu of violating the ceasefire deal by “refusing to conduct talks on phase two”, which would bring an end to the war on Gaza in exchange for the release of all remaining captives.

Labour talk about difficult decisions and tough choices.
The choice this time? To cut the foreign aid budget.
Why are the 'difficult choices' never taxing the wealth of the super rich?

This government is tee-ing up Reform for its place at No 10’s table - all because of economic orthodoxy and the mindset Draghi condemned in the FT this week.

Israeli cruelty & barbarity knows no limits. They are ten times more lethal than the Nazis & ten times more interfering in other democratic countries & their political systems.
They're like a disease, where such a tiny influential diaspora has enormous impact on a whole & diverse population.

Look, socialists largely deserted Labour after Starmer incinerated his promises and told us to find a ditch and die in it.
But if you’re a liberal still backing Keir Starmer after he incinerated the foreign aid budget, how have you not died from terminal embarrassment

There’s more to Germany’s election result than the rise of the far right youtu.be/MmMM78dtZl0?... The far-right has doubled its support in Germany. But they’re no more popular than the left, and 80% did not vote for fascists. What are the lessons to learn, especially in the UK?

First the IDF shot Saddam Rajab. Then, they blocked an ambulance from taking him to hospital. Where's the Western grief for him?
