Labour becomes more desperate by the day A soul-baring article in LabourList shows just how desperate Labour have become.

Labour are not interested in left-wing voters. I wrote about it here: Labour lost more than a by-election, it has lost credibility. My latest Substack post.

This message is also coming from their own supporters. Such as LabourList. I wrote about it here:

@labourlist.bsky.social reports that Anna Turley Labour chair warned MPs that the party had to tackle immigration but "in a way that stays true to our values". And what are those values exactly? Let me sum it up. Say anything that will get enough votes to keep them on the £110k a year gravy train.

Also Starmer: “Our jets are in the air. It’s time for some Brits to die for Israel too.”

Cheers Mani. The story about Palestine being removed from the British Museum is interesting. Do you know how it was resolved? Hope you are having a decent Sunday.

We spend 300x as much on war as peace Global spending on the military keeps rising. Wars become inevitable. Peace is a distant dream. We have to change. But how?

War after war and no let up. Not a single day since 1945 without war. We need to spend less on war and more on peace but how?

BREAKING: The two-way race in Gorton and Denton between Labour and Reform has been won by... the Greens

Voter fraud in Gorton & Denton: This seems like a way for the media to avoid acknowledging that Reform are not the next government in waiting. That the British people may not be as racist or intolerant as the media would like to believe.

Seeing lots of press on voter fraud in Gorton and Denton. Where is the evidence? If somebody witnessed thiswhat were they doing inside a voting booth? And if they had witnessed it why did they not report it immediately?

Interesting post Mike. I agree it’s difficult to find things to write about that are not being covered by everyone and her sister. But they are not saying it as you would. Maybe the question is who are you writing for? If it’s mainly for you then just write what you want.

A narrow fringe party shouting from the sidelines What does it mean for socialists to be realistic and not to be reduced to shouting from the sidelines

Be realistic we are told, or be reduced to shouting from the sidelines. But what is this realism we are supposed to accept.

Hi Mike and happy #SocialistSunday Just read your blog. I was impressed.

Palestine Action and Bad Law The proscription of Palestine Action was based on a Blairitie law that the Supreme Court regarded as 'too wide'.

The Palestine Action proscription was based on Blairite legislation that should have been reviewed years ago.

The Epstein files and a corrupt social system The Epstein files reveal more than just sleaze they show a social system mired in corruption

The Epstein files are about more than just rich men abusing young vulnerable women. They are an insight into how business is done in 21st Century Capitalism. My latest Substack post:

If people excited by Your Party had not joined the Greens up to now, why should a few top level spats make them do so now? And that’s a genuine question, by the way.

Choosing between Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting is like choosing between the Kray twins.

Both choices are criminally dangerous to the country — but I’m not sure if Wes gets his suits paid for by Lord Waheed Alli.

Congratulations to @plaidcymru.bsky.social Brilliant and uplifting victory in Caerphilly. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social is finished. Reform are in retreat. Forward to the Senedd elections.

Still seeing the left tearing into each other whilst Reform are quietly building momentum. It won’t matter who is most pure when fascists are in charge of your country. Wake up people. We need to start working together or there will be no democracy left to save.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social is right we have to unite which means finding what unites us. Right now that should be fear of fascism. Name calling doesn’t help much. So long as YP and @greenparty.org.uk work together to defeat Reform we can split hairs later. criticalmassmag.org/the-great-ce...

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

criticalmassmag.org/the-great-ce... We have been watching Your Party. There is still a place for a mass party on the left. But it needs to grow quickly and be able to work with the @greenparty.org.uk and @plaidcymru.bsky.social We have to stop the fascists and arguing amongst ourselves won’t do it.

So MAGA UK voters, surprise, surprise there is no fraud, no waste, no asylum seekers gaming the system. Watch your council tax used for banning books in libraries & to stop all anti discrimination practices so the tax evading party can give tax cuts to their rich friends. Reform are liars.

Good to see Americans on the streets opposing Trump. Are there any eye witness accounts on here?

The entire system seems wired to prevent social justice. Politics is a game played by the rich with the rest of us as pawns. How do we create a world where every life matters? I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Cheers Mani. Hope you are well. Hope all socialists are well.

Peace in Gaza? - Critical Mass Magazine As a ceasefire is announced in Gaza the real work of freeing Palestine begins. We are motivated by love not hate and that is why we will win.

@criticalmassmag.bsky.social puts out a weekly newsletter for lefties. Why not give it a try? Let me know what you think. criticalmassmag.org/newsletter-2/

It does but can you see a process by which that happens? I don’t. Not at the moment.
