In 2017, Labour under Corbyn got over 3 million more votes than it did under Keir Starmer last night.

Don't let them pretend that agent Starmer is actually popular.

To understand how superficial this Labour win is you only need to zoom out.

After 14 years in office, the Tories are truly spent. They have nothing to offer. Redolent of Blair’s win in 1997, a well-fed show pig would have won.

But party backers and strategists understand the importance of breaks in power that allow for party consolidation and reinvention — but only provided that power doesn’t fall to candidates that will challenge the status quo during those breaks.

The Tories were going to eventually lose — this is the perfect time, for them, to do so.

In practice, the Tories handing the reins to a Labour Party that broadly supports all the same policies is a win for those the Tories represent — the ruling class. They know that eventually us plebs have to see a term or two under a different government to appease us, but they know Starmer won’t challenge their wealth and power and privilege during this period.

In fact, they’re so chuffed that Starmer is their man, versus someone like Corbyn who’d have taxed the shit out of them to help reduce inequality, that they’re out in their droves supporting him.

And so it goes: the veneer of democracy is upheld while nothing material will change.

So, no, this is not a win for the common person; on the contrary, it’s a win for those who oppress us. And anyone celebrating this is a useful idiot, naively greasing the wheels of our shared exploitation.

“The goal is to use Israel to wash money out of the US and Europe taxpayers through Ukraine/Israel and back into the hands of of a transnational elite (BlackRock). The goal is an endless war, not a successful war”…

Did you know that plants love CO2 so much, farmers pump it into greenhouses?

Higher atmospheric CO2 levels would also benefit reforestation by enhancing plant growth and creating more resilient microclimates. It's time to rethink the narrative that CO2 is bad for our planet.

Compare & contrast! Attacking "civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes. Cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming - these are acts of pure terror". UNLESS the attacker is Israel. Then it's NOT terror!?@?!!!

Ireland fans in Paris tonight.

Out in force on Pall Mall! They won’t let our protesters into Trafalgar Square to join the rest of us. #NotMyKing

[Alliance of European Republican Movements @AERMorg]

The organisers of the #notmyking protest have been arrested - police won’t say what for

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Starmer saying paying junior doctors more is ‘unaffordable’ is straight from Thatcher’s playbook.

National expenditure is not paid for by taxation. The only limit to expenditure is runaway inflation, and giving junior doctors a rise will not touch that.

He’s lying to us, again.

UK: getting ready to wave little Union Jack flags at the king’s coronation despite not being able to afford food and heat.

France: fucking burning everything down because the pension age is being increased.

🔴PROFITS DOUBLE

• HSBC banking profits doubled
• Shell energy profits doubled
• BP energy profits doubled
• BP CEO pay doubled
• Shell CEO pay doubled

And they tell you it's YOUR 18 year low wage packet that's causing inflation crisis.

You're ROBBED in broad daylight.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

Rishi Sunak owned around £380m of shares in Moderna when he made the decision to purchase their Vaccine when he was Chancellor.

He has refused to say how much he has personally profited from this decision. More insider trading and corruption from the Tories.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

King Charles inherited 45,667 acres of land across England & Wales, worth around £650ml, generating income of £24ml pa. He didn’t pay a single penny in inheritance tax & will only pay income tax if he volunteers.

On the 6th May you will pay to put a crown on his head.

Wrong.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Shell made £160,000,000,000 profit last year, they haven’t paid a penny of tax in the U.K. for 5 years.

They are the Conservatives biggest donor.

Join the dots.

The last time a government in Europe proposed this level of anti-strike action, making strikes illegal, and legislation against legitimate action by unions, it was Berlin, and it was 1934.
