@Tom_Gann But he doesn't need to win a huge amount back. He needs a small uptick in the polls (drawn from various parties) to become the main challenger to Reform in many seats. Next election will be people voting for who people think can beat Reform.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

@SamuraiApology When i was full-timer (Counterfire) it was clear that reliance on me meant a delegated responsibility across org became structurally very difficult. But this was by design as it kept control with central leadership. Ultimately made org much less demoocratic.

Burnhamism is more Londonism than Manchesterism - some thoughts from me and Karel Williams https://t.co/e18sjsb0Cu

@BareLeft It is bizarre. I listen to Gove's Spectator podcast and one minute they are making right wing arguments that i don't agree with but are coherent and then they suddenly start talking about all sorts of 'woke stuff' that isn't happening. Delusional.

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@JabroniTV @Tom_Gann Very different to going to Carrow Road. Feels much more inclusive and the support is more a celbration of and pride in Norwich rather than the kind of 'we are England' vibe of world cup

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@JabroniTV @Tom_Gann I have supported England all my life and you will find me in pubs doing so this year but I find a lot of the way in which the national mood shifts throughout as kind of menacingly enforcing it. It has a different flavour to supporting the Scots for example (I am half Scottish)

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@JabroniTV @Tom_Gann Less a poltical critique. More just how I experience it. I mean I love the release of a full city in jubilation as it is. Just always feel something off and in some places the chants are not great.

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@josephalextodd You were saying at Norwich Transformed that you would listen to a podcast on rise of far right in Yarmouth. It exists. With NT organiser Dan and Lotte.. https://t.co/UeFy45Qe6l

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@JabroniTV @Tom_Gann Didn't say that

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@NicholasTyrone You'd be hard pressed to find many who do think that.

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@dieworkwear Mamdani's panache allows him to break the rules a little.

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@David_Jamieson7 I'm surprised they didnt report on Blair's intervention as a leadership bid...

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@MediocreDave What specifically are you pointing to here?

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@AllyFogg Continuation of liberal populism/post-truth discourse that can only see problems arising in society as being down to people becoming more uncouth, stupid, angry, out of control

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@onionfuture Direct link 2 & passion 4 a black working class culture from tons of working class kids from little villages across UK. A passion that remains and is passed down. A strength is that it wasn't remixed away. Instead revered and held as a music 4 gathering socially simply to enjoy

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

@dukeofdench @AaronBastani @Glinner He's on there all the time... and says this kind of thing frequently.

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

.. when it is countering notion of class that describes footballers and CEOs with accents as working class and those on minimum wage who like to read as middle class

[Cameron Panting @Gnitnapnoremac]

Agree. But context is Lynch pushing back against v crude culturalist common sense in media. Makes sense to start from wage earner as basis of analysis and work from there downwards as squares the social as part of the economic. Broad definition of class has political advantages

[Tom Gann @Tom_Gann]

@RandomGadgie I think Poulantzas’s a “social class is defined by its place in the ensemble of social practices, i.e. by its place in the ensemble of the division of labour which includes political and ideological relations” gets us somewhere.
