Why are Labour ignoring the Tories and treating Reform as the real opposition? Because they are desperate to preserve the two party system, by replacing Tories with Reform in the duopoly. A short thread.

I feel bad mocking the naive 20-something featured on this episode, but this is classic centrist idiocy, too perfectly exemplary of why centrism is a failed politics: he can't 'relate' to either Farage or Corbyn, in the latter case because Corbyn wants to 'bring about world peace'. What a monster!
New @therestpolitics.bsky.social Q&A - the politics of immigration, Corbyn new party, a young centrist’s despair, the young and geopolitics, German shift on Israel, and the first 100 year old president?

Recent events have been a powerful reminder of how most people in the UK have no sense of what democracy might mean outside of hyperinstitutionalised elite parliamentary politics. Everything is judged like it's a football team.

There's just no way to defend a racist, genocidal, settler-colonial state without mind-bending levels of hypocrisy. Some of it's cynical, some of it's just idiocy. And it's frustratingly difficult to disentangle the two.

Zionists have settled on the 'People were crying wolf, but the wolf is finally here' line because it enables them to belatedly admit to Israel's atrocities while maintaining their own internal moral consistency. They're fabricating a timeline marker that absolves them of guilt.

As the world bears witness to Israel's deliberate starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, the Knesset yesterday voted overwhelmingly to annex the West Bank.
It is a moral imperative for our government to immediately recognise the State of Palestine. History will not forgive us.
