Cynical Old Bag in the Corner

Constantly veering between despair & hope. Proud Anti-zio. Republican. Socialist. Ecopopster. European. Still bitter over #Brexshit

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

This world isn’t collapsing because humanity became too compassionate, too equal or too free. It is collapsing because greedy fucking sociopaths converted governments into protection rackets for wealth and empire.

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Amen!

Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Any UK politician who gave Trump the time of day should be ashamed right now.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Your turn, Andy Burnham.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Leadership.

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Isnt this @ZackPolanski 's line? 🧐

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Let’s bring back hope.

[Renzo™ @fwrenzo1]

I miss when "The News" was just a guy in a suit telling you what happened, instead of a 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbor so you don't notice your rent went up 30%.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It's officially the hottest June day ever.

We know who is to blame. Fossil fuel firms. The billionaire media. Weak politicians.

We know what we must do. Rapid decarbonisation & adaptation for a healthier, wealthier country safe for future generations.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Starmer put final nails in coffin of the "Labour" Party

Burnham is pallbearer who will lower casket into the ground

It's over. Done did

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Do all MPs have a chief of staff?

[audrey White @RedRosa91940184]

Roll of drums and bunting for our saviour and appointed King - Andy Burnham 🥁🥁🥁🥁This will tell you everything . Meet bloody Burnham’s chief of staff. Don’t know about you but I’m so sick of all this…..

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Can someone explain to me what's so fantastically amazing about Andy Burnham that meant he had to go from not even being a Member of Parliament to being shoved in unchallenged as Prime Minister within a few weeks?

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Why is everyone talking as if Burnham is already PM?

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

All brought to you by the most disliked Prime Minister since the introduction of modern polling, delivered to power with an unlawful slush fund filled with cash from millionaire and pro-Israeli donors.

Did anyone who voted Labour in 2024 expect this?

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

@cathleenc_ Why dont you ask Reform to move aside? Or Labour? 🧐

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Kick her out 😡 traitor!!! No wonder the greens were so irrelevant under her 'leadership'

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Fucking hell. I know people who used to work for @CarolineLucas - who are very active in the Pro-Palestine movement. More disappointing than what she did against Corbyn in the last GE which was bad enough. Utterly abhorrent. Never has a politician been so disappointing to me.

[MikeD @mjdaly57]

Caroline Lucas’s entries on the @ElectoralCommUK home donations page show that she’s received £234,454.50 in declared donations. She has accepted donations from Lisbet Rausing and her sister Sigrid Rausing. Both have made significant contributions to Israeli initiatives and cultural institutions such as the National Library of Jerusalem. Sigrid Rausing is the Chair of the New Israel Fund. Lisbet Rausing has given £165,200 in donations to Labour’s anti-Semitism enforcer @SteveReedMP. Caroline has also accepted a substantial donation from Lord Matthew Oakeshott. Lord Oakeshott also funds Labour MPs who are members/supporters of Labour Friends of Israel.

@AaronBastani Its MIDDUMMER on 22 June. Summer starts at Beltane, 1 May.

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

@RupaHuq @EalingGreens If you dont want reform to win 1) give people a reason to vote for you 2) ask Reform to stand down. Otherwise FUCK OFF.

[Cynical Old Bag in the Corner @cynicaloldbag]

Funny how nobody has said that Reform should stand down 🤔🤨

[Mike Berners-Lee @MikeBernersLee]

I’m with Rupert and Caroline. Very important the Greens don’t stand. A vote Green will be a vote for Reform and it will rightly haunt them. Conversely standing down could be done with leverage for PR. Andy B ( and the country) will visibly owe them. Do the right thing Zac.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

How about all political parties stand down for Labour!

We should just get rid of democracy and unite around Labour’s entitlement to win power without having to convince enough voters.

Especially in contests caused by its own failures and internal machinations!
