@TheGreenParty Political narcissism.

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@TheGreenParty The private aspirations of a political party take precedence over the broader political struggle? Burnham clearly is most likely to beat Reform. He is also open to electoral reform. A Reform win will block that and much else besides. Narcissism is not political.

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@PhilipProudfoot It's astounding isn't it that someone can announce themselves joint leader without the smallest 'by-your-leave' to the people grafting in our union branches, communities and campaigns - presumably the ground force for a new nomenklatura @zarahsultana

@agatha_bobb @kategarraway @GMB @YouTube The extract of the @kategarraway interview with @AlnaouqA is really quite shocking. 'Now you're talking about 'we' ....'. Who the f*** is Kate Garraway!? She & @richardm56 are playing at journalism.

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@RogersHistory Maybe post-shock & obvious condemnation, don't historians (educators generally) have a responsibility to go beyond the immediate horror? If our concern is serious don't we need to try & help others & ourselves understand the context and history? What would you suggest to read?

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

Meanwhile. Turkey's bombing of #Rojava is almost entirely ignored.

@SaulStaniforth Does @JonAshworth really not get the 'root courses'? In competition with Braverman & Anderson? Continuing Labour's stance from the early 2000s e.g. exporting #asylumseekers to 3rd countries (then inc. Ukraine) a Labour proposal.
Dishonest.

@singram999 @halfon4harlowMP Over to @halfon4harlowMP Maybe he's in secret coms.

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@singram999 @halfon4harlowMP Leadership would blow the myth that the government has no direct stake in this & similar disputes. @halfon4harlowMP offers comforting piety not the serious engagement he would opt for if really worried about the impact of the boycott on students.

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@DaveThePapLpool @SaulStaniforth Genuine Qs? International agreements allow AS to move through countries else the system breaks down w. implications for int. agreements people mostly do want. Vast maj. refugees are not in the UK. Cash? Family, friends, debt.

@SuellaBraverman @AlexChalkChelt Emergency powers - rogue lawyers.

@AaronBastani '... entering politics'? Politics is a career choice then - something you enter - and it's perfectly good to fast-track bright young things?

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@damien_page A debate that could (should) be initiated from the bottom up? Teachers / researchers thinking 'beyond the fragments' of our particular local / sectoral concerns rather than waiting on political / sector 'leaders'. @L_Organising @Post16Educator @FETransforms

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@johnharris1969 Serious credible candidates deliberately excluded from the short list should stand as #IndependentLabour candidates - risks notwithstanding. Why else would the @UKLabour apparat have any reason to moderate its undemocratic practices?

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@MayorJD Stand as an independent? I don't understand why individuals with a good track record as local representatives don't stand as Independent Labour candidates when excluded by the apparat.

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@NadiaWhittomeMP Bolshevik suppression in the Ukraine - including of revolutionaries - predates Stalinism by a good number of years. #Makhnovista #Cheka

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@Trickyjabs Is stroking the political aspirations of marginal groupuscules our only alternative? Time better spent activating a union branch, organising a repair caf, setting up a residents group? Dusting down my very old copy of #ColinWard's classic ... :)

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

A fantastic video from @MickWhitleyMP @KimJohnsonMP in Liverpool
Cities of #Sanctuary. Nottingham also has a history of this @NNRF1

[Kim Johnson @KimJohnsonMP]

Vulnerable asylum seekers deserve the same warm welcome we are affording Eurovision visitors: I join with @MickWhitleyMP in opposing @SuellaBraverman's inhumane plans to house refugees in a deserted Birkenhead dock, miles from any services. #Notinmyname

@PeterTatchell Isn't an 'elected head of state' a temporary monarch? Do democratic citizens need elected kings? #NotMyKing either

[Rob Peutrell @RobP79]

@QuijoteMike @RichardAske 1. Repudiating institutions goes back to Socrates surely @GoodwinMJ ?
2. Gen-Z: a product of globalised neo-liberalism? The economic elite smashing public institutions and social rights to suck up super-profits.
3. Thomas Paine Day - June 8?
