Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
all jokes aside, graham platners success in maine is an amazing data point for left populist bernie-crats being electable in purple states. from m4a to stopping israel- centering the working class in your politics clearly works. total defeat of third way neoliberal thought.
The lesson isn’t that every city is New York or every state is Virginia or New Jersey it’s that when voters say the economy sucks, you can’t gaslight them with ads insisting it’s not that bad. You have to show them how you’ll make life more affordable. In some states, that means taking on private utilities; in some cities, it means free buses or childcare. The real takeaway is simple: listen to voters, ask what you can do for them, and offer clear policies that make their lives easier.
Talks to address Iran’s nuclear program were planned for Sunday. Instead Netanyahu launched illegal strikes on Iran, killing a top ceasefire negotiator, undermining U.S. diplomatic efforts & putting countless innocent lives at risk. We can’t be dragged into another Netanyahu war.
“We are never going to stop existing. I’m never going to stop being trans. A letter on a passport can’t change that, fuck this administration.”

As well as the literal genocide, there is a cultural genocide taking place. While baby-killing soldiers are being protected so they can compete in European competitions, Palestinians are being culturally erased.
This is the anatomy of a coordinated genocide.
Ending income tax and replacing it with giving everyone a $4000 yearly tax through tariffs would create the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the modern era and would obliterate the economy
National's $216 million tobacco tax cut appears to prioritise the needs of the tobacco industry, rather than New Zealanders’ health. We have a right to know if tax breaks are being dished out to harmful industries because of back room deals. 1/2
This was a golden opportunity to show empathy to people in deep pain because their family is suffering torture, famine, displacement, & genocide. They don’t want Trump to win. They want the suffering to stop. Don’t push them away. Invite them in. She should remedy this asap.
Hey Prime Minister @chrisluxonmp do you have any opinion on your deputy PM spreading:
1. Transphobia in general
2. Misinformation about someone’s gender who was born a woman and still identifies as a woman?
Unfair and dangerous rhetoric spread by our leaders.
