It’s very clear many people have zero understanding of what’s happening at the Green Party and it shows and are clinging to their misconceptions because they hate the possibility of something better and from the left it reeks of jealousy and sad nihilism

I’m over John Fetterman. A lot of us were caught up with his trolling of Dr. Oz, myself included. I don’t think it was his stroke that caused the pivot, but who he always who he’s been deep down. I don’t know what his end game is, Keep an eye on this dude. Watch his moves, and listen to his words.

Personal note: London has been home for a very, very long time, but as of today, I am also officially a Brit - that is to say, a British citizen. I feel relieved and I feel grateful - but not, perhaps, in the forelock-tugging way GB News/Starmer expect a new immigrant to be.

Watching Wes Streeting on Sky News successfully skewer the overnight Downing Street briefings against him, you almost have to admire the ineptitude of those around Keir Starmer in turning his own leadership problems into a major story while boosting the very politician they sought to kneecap

Could you please clarify to your followers that what I actually said was: "In some respects this government under Keir Starmer looks more Tory than the Tories". I had just spelt out exactly which respects I meant: its anti-protest laws and the Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
Thank you.

The establishment's only defence is "nothing better is possible". Even though we have built better from the rubble of WW2 and when the country was much less productive or wealthy than it is now.

Unfun fact: the NYT's Jerusalem Bureau is in yet another stolen Palestinian home. The NYT bought it from the Israelis who stole it.
The rightful Palestinian owner was a journalist himself.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

Walmart couldn't make inroads in Germany, one of the largest retail markets in the world, because they weren't allowed to violate worker's rights; so they said they couldn't make a profit if not allowed to fuck over employees and fucked off.
