So I've watched ep. 1 of the New Adam Curtis, and here's the thing: Thatcher did not destroy British manufacturing industry by mistake. That is all you really need to know to understand what's wrong with this way of telling the story, but I'll elaborate a bit....

Cos the best way to defeat Farage is to agree with him about absolutely everything Tories proved this by running a 10 year experiment that left them polling at "functionally dead", while Reform are favourites to win the next election Top thinking, Blue Labour! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Blue Labour group of Labour MPs consisted of four named members last time I checked. They claim it’s now actually in the double digits but until they’ve got a serious membership list of people who will openly associate with the brand, they deserve to be treated as a fringe of a fringe.

The more I think about this the more extraordinary it becomes. The ultimate conclusion is: "Britain was prepared to permit & facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people to atone for Jermey Corbyn previously being leader of the Labour Party". Absolute wild

UK inflation rate jumps to 3.5% in April as higher household bills kick in. If Rachel Reeves really does want to go “further and faster to put money in people’s pockets” the answer is simple: we need a wealth tax now.

Keir Starmer’s “island of strangers” rhetoric is reckless and divisive. In Wales, as across the UK, social care is in crisis. The solution is not to turn on migrant workers, but to invest in training, raise wages, and improve working conditions. 🗣️ @benlake.bsky.social

ICYMI "... Starmer hopes it will assure the Reform adjacent and neutralise the issue, giving Labour political space to showcase their record. Like cutting the NHS, taking money off the disabled, arming a genocide, etc. etc."

Just came off @lbc.co.uk to talk about the Prime Ministers speech. We had racist riots on our streets last summer. Rather than fix the real problem - inequality - he's happy to dance to Farages tune. Disgusting. He should apologise (& actually fund public services!)

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

Fascism is on the rise & climate collapse ongoing. We can't afford incremental change. By the time we're anywhere close to power, it'll be too late. We need to make an impact on the national stage & step into the next era of our party - we need bold leadership. novaramedia.com/2025/05/12/g...

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.
