GET PR DONE! ⭕️⚫️🟣🟢🔴🟠

A cross party call for PR which always tries to identify the route you’d take to it as your most urgent item.

[GET PR DONE! ⭕️⚫️🟣🟢🔴🟠 @getprdone]

Saying you can't change the unfair voting system without a manifesto pledge endorsed by the unfair voting system you want to change, is the most Blarite, duplicitous piece of nonsense yet heard in UK politics.

@AndyBurnhamGM has lost before he's started.

@hughdellar So what?

[GET PR DONE! ⭕️⚫️🟣🟢🔴🟠 @getprdone]

It’s likely true that without the crazy antisemitism smears, our water would now be renationalised - just in time for most severe drought for 10,000 years?

Exactly what is Burnham waiting for? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[simon maginn @simonmaginn]

@Feargal_Sharkey @Danjo934 Corbyn was going to renationalise water, as you've campaigned for for years. Berger smeared him with antisemitism to stop him. Corbyn is your ally. Know your enemy. #ItWasAScam

@hughdellar What’s that got to do with renationalising water?

A climate scientist is clearly brilliant on climate science & the dangers of this moment.

Even more powerful @KevinClimate says "As individuals we don't have much power. When we're a collective, we have so much power."

It's time to take back our power.

Mainstream candidates topped the CLP nominations list this year - 107 CLPs backed Cat, more than any other candidate standing. Jovan and Kerry weren't far behind.

Our NEC, dominated by one tradition, needs a shake-up. Vote for one now.🌹

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

French economist Thomas Piketty explains to Zack Polanski that how a local wealth tax should Include an exit tax, adding rich should pay their fair share in proportion:

"Let me make very clear that individual countries like Britain or France can very well have uh, uh, progressive wealth tax and billionaire on their own right away."

"They don't need to ask the permission of their neighbors or the United Nation, or they don't need to wait for world unanimity."

"The only thing they need to do when they do wealth tax on their own is to make clear that if you have made your wealth in, in Britain for many decades by benefiting from the public services in Britain, by the legal system of Britain, because creating wealth, accumulating wealth is always the outcome, uh, of a collective process where you use institution, the legal system, the education system, the health system, the transportation system, the road system."

"If you have benefited from this during many decades, you cannot simply walk away at age 50 or 60 or whatever and say, okay now, bye bye, I don't pay tax anymore."

"So the first, the only important thing you need to do when you set up a wealth tax, say in Britain, is to say even if you go away, you keep paying."

"The way the Americans do it, is by saying as long as you keep U.S. citizenship, you pay even if you're in Switzerland, wherever you want."

"I don't think this is the best way."

"I think a better way would be to make people pay in proportion to the years of, of residents that they have spent in the country."

"So if you have spent your first 50 years in Britain, you move at age 51, well that's fine, do that."

"But you know, you keep paying 50, 51st of the tax that you would have paid."

"So the fiscal cost for the treasury is quite limited."

"Yes, so that's the important point."

"And once you have said that, I think all the arguments about tax evasion sort of fall down almost immediately."

"Now people will tell you, oh, but you cannot do that."

"Of course you can."

"The problem is that we have put ourselves in a situation to think that the very specific treaties about capital flows, what we have come to call free capital flows that were set up in the 80s and 90s, are sort of law of nature."

"The idea that you have a sacralized right to benefit from the public services legal system in a country as much as you want, and then you push on a button and you can transfer your assets wherever you want and nobody can follow you and nobody can make you pay."

"And it's a sort of new sacralized right."

"But look, this is a uh, completely crazy system."

"This is a machinery to make normal people middle class and lower class people hate globalization."

"And if you tell people there's nothing you can change about this."

"There's nothing you can change about inequality, about economic policy."

"We see the only thing government can do is to control their border for, uh, migrants."

"And then of course, 20 years, 30 years later, the entire political conversation is about border control and identity."

"But that's because you close the discussion entirely about, uh, uh, economic and fiscal policy."

"So we have to reopen the discussion."

"And the first thing to do that is to question free capital flows in the sense that you don't have the freedom to escape taxation after you have benefited from the public services and public institution of a country during so long."

"So if you address this directly and make clear that you will keep paying in proportion to the number of years you have stayed in Britain, then um, um, I mean, you can also combine that with rules about the location of the assets themselves."

"As long as the assets are located in Britain, of course you can make people pay."

"But it's important to, to have also the number of years you've spent in the country so that even if you move your assets away, you keep paying and you don't have the choice otherwise your assets can be taken away from you if some of them are in Britain, if you return to Britain and you've not paid your tax, well, you will be subject to the sanction which anybody not paying your tax."

"So that's the first big thing, is that you don't need to have a world wealth tax."

"You can do a lot at the level of Britain."

"And we should not use this global wealth tax idea as an excuse not to do at, uh, the country level what national governments can do at their own level."

Saw @ZackPolanski speak today in Edinburgh in conversation with Iain Dale. You only had to compare the crowd reactions (multiple LOUD rounds of applause and cheers) to the previous talk with Wes Streeting (a few muted chuckles) to see that there's so much hope for the greens.

The police are stupid and when they do stupid things it’s nothing to do with DEI. It’s because they’re stupid.

[Brit Lad X 🇬🇧 @BritLadx]

So this video is doing the rounds...

From the reports going around, this bloke had bought a baseball bat. You can literally see it’s still in the plastic packaging. (THIS APPEARS TO BE MANCHESTER)

Owning a baseball bat is perfectly legal.

So what happens?

A copper sees him walking with it and decides that apparently this warrants an arrest. Then, unsurprisingly, the whole thing kicks off.

And this is exactly why people are fucking sick of it.

Would everyone get treated the same way in this situation? I seriously doubt it. We’ve all seen enough examples of completely different two-tier standards being applied depending on who’s involved.... 100% if you're a foreign fella.. or a "different colour" the police would look the other away or ignore.

If there’s more context, let’s see it. But based on what’s being reported and what this footage shows, this looks fucking ridiculous.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

@TomLondon6 @CrispinShow It’s fine as long as it defines “Zionism” explicitly. However, what worries me is if Zionism as an idea is “racist” why aren’t all nation states similarly racist? Name me one which didn’t have racist wars etc in its formation?
