Zarah Sultana is the best MP in the UK today. At any rate she's as good as Jeremy Corbyn. JC's had abuse since being elected Labour leader, abuse that continues to this day. But Zarah suffers from racist and misogynist abuse which is something JC can't face. Please RT her posts. #SolidarityWithZarah

Socialists need a party. 200,000 exiles from the Corbyn-led Labour Party are waiting. Involved in talks are TUSC, Transform, and individuals. But I'm worried about these negotiations. Will those not involved be taken for granted? Why can't we have input into the negotiations? #UniteTheSocialists

It's after midnight. It's Sunday. And I'm a socialist. So I'll add the #SocialistSunday hashtag, hoping to identify socialists I've not come across here yet, those I can repost and whose posts I can Like, amplifying all our voices, since unity is strength. But let's do more than that. Let's debate.

Some BlueSky don't wanna hear argument about the relative merits of this social media app V Twitter, unless we condemn the latter unequivocally. However, most socialists aren't here. And we're not amplifying our voices as much as still happens on Twitter. Only 62 reposted this versus 1,100 on Twtr.

How do you ever get over a 24 year relationship? It just seems to be impossible for me as i still love my ex partner but we just couldn't live together any more as we had just grown apart due to differing lifestyles but we still speak on the the phone every day.I'm in a much better place now.

Stop these flights and stop arming Israel.

The arrest of 50+ politicians & journalists in police raids in Turkey is an outrageous attack on press freedom and democratic rights. The Turkish government must stop its attempts to silence pro-Kurdish and left-wing opposition. www.turkishminute.com/2025/02/18/p...

Leaseholders in my constituency were promised that, under a Labour government, things would change. They are still waiting. I have written to Angela Rayner to ask when my constituents will be free from this outdated and exploitative system once and for all.

Cont.

A glimpse of the abuse I face for challenging racism, xenophobia, and bigotry. This won’t silence me — I will always speak truth to power.

According to @bsky.app members of this social media app only post about things I don't care about. The only things members of this site post about that I've even heard of are things I hate. My guess is my attitude to these 'trends' exactly mirrors most voters in the UK. I'm heading back to Twitter.

We stand for solutions, not scapegoats. We’re against billionaires bankrolling division, against politicians propping up a system rigged against us, and for a future rooted in working-class unity, solidarity and justice. Join the fightback!✊🏽 RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/no-th...

If @bsky.app wants me to prioritize this social media platform over Twitter, it must make elementary changes. One thing essential is to ensure every post from people across the globe isn't crammed into one bowl. Every user should state our geographical voting region. The Trending link is meaningless

There's a huge number of simple changes BlueSky could make that would make this site more attractive to voters, especially the kinds of voters I like most: socialists. But this isn't happening. It's not just socialists who find this a problem. The MSM in the UK isn't bothering with it now. Why?

I stopped using Twitter because those Musk hired only fed me bullshit that made me block pretty much everyone who tweeted anything. Over the last few days the opposite is true. What I'm being shown now is stuff I like, retweeted by 1,000s of socialists I like. Is anything like that happening here?

I want to deal with those who think there's no point to Twitter. That had been my thought. But this site isn't doing the job Twitter used to. Twitter on the other hand seems to have changed in a way that makes it more attractive to me. What exactly do I mean. I'll need to start a new post to explain

I'm in 2 minds as to whether I should quote post. I think it's best to as I'd like those who follow both/either of us to see it. Firstly, no one could accuse me of not posting my thoughts; many would say I do that too much. But I can't repost those HUGELY popular socialists who just don't post here.

Just heard 77% of UK voters disagree with Donald Trump on Ukraine. Not surprised. If only one side has been offered to voters by the MSM, don't expect anyone on UK's right to think differently. However, this presents problems for the Tories and Nigel Farage. Good. Triangulate yourselves out of THAT!

Self-made millionaires telling me how to get wealthy, rather than organizing ALL the exploited and oppressed against our class enemy doesn't cut it with me. He boasts about how he's an economist whose predictions come true. Marx attacked such people. Prediction isn't the point; changing the world is

Can I ask how many socialists who see this post haven't closed their Twitter accounts, just mothballed it with the intention of deleting eventually? I ask because I've noticed a change that means I may spend a lot more time there, at least as much as I do on Bluesky, unless this platform changes.

Listening to The Cramps playing Garbageman. Which was a classic from their first LP. Saw them and The Fall on the same bill. Both bands were incredible.

Listening to Bubblegum Nothingness by Jetstream Pony. That's another band I've never heard of before. Another band with an incredible female singer.

Is anyone listening to Riley & Coe. Not been good at decoding clues in their various games for a few months. But I have got the answer today, I think on the final clue. That one's usually a giveaway.

Aren’t you the guy who got convicted for assaulting your then-girlfriend while drunk outside a nightclub? news.sky.com/story/james-...

The future? It looks like the cast of Cocoon.

Victoria Derbyshire's presenting #Newsnight again tonight. Very tempted to listen live. Whether I do or don't might depend on who the guests are. Yesterday's were better than I expected. Hopefully, today's won't be terrible.

Within the last few days I've said how much I enjoy capitalist parties, and their MSM go to war with themselves over what Donald Trump and Putin is doing. I hate the US & Russian dictator, much more than Keir Starmer does. However, Tory leaders are kicking shit out of each other. #HURRAY

No thanks, Nigel.

I reposted but would now like to Quote Post to clarify remaining differences. I didn't hear things on #Newsnight yesterday that I missed before; imho, she's changed, for the better. My criticism of her in the past stands. I think quitting Labour liberated her: she's shifted left. #UniteTheSocialists

A few hours ago I discovered that a 6Music session by Pom Poko - presumably one of Marc Riley/Gideon Coe's - is being repeated between 3:00am and 4:00am. Roger Water is on this program, and someone called Drums. But it's the former I love. youtu.be/ecBtwYvY5xs?... #PomPoko #Champion
