Our country needs a bold change of direction. Starmer lost the confidence of the country because of his abject failure to challenge the power and wealth of an establishment which has taken for themselves while leaving the vast majority in a cost of living crisis. (1/5)
Jeremy Corbyn is still better than a 100 Andy Burnhams, any day
Best move Burnham could make is adopt Corbyn's GE17 manifesto (with slight tweaks for what's changed)
But he won't. Too scared. Too neoliberal. Too Zionist. next.

A college swimmer caught red-handed assaulting an unconscious girl behind a dumpster gets sentenced to just 3 months in jail because the judge "didn't want to ruin his Olympic potential." Once again, a man's hypothetical career is worth more than a woman's actual life.
Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY
Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer.
Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less.
Yes. We are living in an oligarchy.
A Good Day for Trump’s Friends:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”
When the very cradle of modern democracy is reduced to having just a handful of real journalists left, Carole Cadwalladr stands as the first among them.
This brave and brilliant woman exposed the Cambridge Analytica scandal and shook the world.
Today, those she threatened by writing the truth are doing everything they can to discredit her.
Remember: Carole is one of the finest investigative journalists the UK and the world have today.
Spread the word and share her thread please ‼️‼️
Her latest investigation proves exactly why our democracy is under threat.
While brave whistleblowers tried to warn MI5 about Kremlin infiltration, the establishment chose to look the other way, and Boris Johnson actively suppressed the Russia report because the truth was too inconvenient.
The security services did nothing, the police did nothing, and the government refused to protect British democracy.
Fast forward to today, and we see foreign operatives directing arson attacks against our PM, yet the Westminster press gallery is still playing court jester, recycling anonymous gossip instead of defending the nation.
As Carole highlights, the chandeliers are falling into our soup and the establishment is pretending it is just the weather.
It is time to wake up, stand with real journalism, and demand a full public inquiry into foreign interference.
Some of those women gave everything so you could sit in that chair, and you repay them by rewriting and erasing their stories, to give cover for genocide. Absolutely pathetic.
The liars of Brexit are suddenly being exposed
They have got away with it for so long - sooner or later it was going to catch up with them.
Is this yet another reason Farage is in hiding
Boris Johnson the most deceitful slug in modern UK history.
He knew full well when he wrote those 2 articles that Brexit would be horrendously damaging to the UK but he put career and personal ambition over the future of the UK by choosing the leave option.
Modern day traitor
Kyle Kulinski: “Elon Musk is a parasite, he’s a welfare queen, he’s stolen $38B from US taxpayers to do fraud and make a bunch of dumbass rockets explode instantly. This guy’s a ketamine addict, he’s a fucking Nazi, he’s a genuine low IQ dipshit and total con man. And now he’s worth $1T”
Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.
