I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour. Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines. The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering. The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

Who is against these policies? Are people so far gone that they prefer their taxes pay for corporate welfare and massive pointless bombs over education and transportation?

This country is thoroughly screwed for at least a generation. People haven't taken stock of how much damage has already been done. 2026 and 2028 won't magically fix this. It's going to be a long walk.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Labour will lose the 2029 GE. And that loss will in turn lose them future GEs. Image how furious voters will be at Labour for ushering in Reform when a different future would have been possible if Labour had only made better choices. (Think LibDems and tuition fees, only raised to the Nth power.)

Very few people, when discussing the cost of living and how it's evolved over the decades, mention the fact that 50 years ago it was common for only one parent to work and now it's much more usual for both to work, yet what they can buy has if anything gone down despite two salaries rather than one.

Labour have played their first year very badly. Voters were at their most attentive after the GE. The end of 14 painful Tory years, and the novelty of a Labour government. Even people with no interest in politics paid a little attention. But Labour used that time to paint a hugely negative image.

Men try convincing the world that women are the emotional ones but who are the one’s who lose their minds when they are rejected, start wars and contribute to the mass majority of violence and crime? Pretty emotional if you ask me.

Hegseth is exhibiting his "angry drunk" (Alcoholic Rage Syndrome) and/or Intermittent Explosive Disorder on the world stage. Is this an embarrassing for the US? 100% – But infinitely more important is that, as the American Secretary of Defense, his behavior and mindset brings us closer to war.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

It continues to be a complete disgrace that the orange convicted felon is at the NATO summit in The Hague when he should be in prison for sedition as well as the fact that he has been trying to weaken and destroy the NATO alliance from the beginning. It’s disgusting.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

As I am a person with chronic illness, I am watching RFK, Jr. testify before the House Budget Committee. Listening to that man is like fingernails on a blackboard. He lies as he breathes. He has numerous health issues, that are obvious. He tries to defend the indefensible. Frankly embarrassing.
