[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

I just want a socialist party that will campaign on socialist policies. Every other country in Europe has a somewhat serious socialist party. Even the Americans have the DSA. The UK has nothing. Labour, the Greens, or fucking Your Party. That’s the British left. The state of it.

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

Not a single member of the Socialist Campaign Group. Not even Clive Lewis, who left the group to become one of Andy Burnham's biggest cheerleaders.

Andy Burnham said he wanted to unite every wing of the Labour Party. Clearly, that doesn't include its left wing

@tombruhcks My favourite Larry the Cat fact is that he’s overfed by everyone, so he’s actually really bad at his job as Chief Mouser. So, in all honesty, he should be sacked

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

Keir Starmer will be remembered about as fondly as Ramsay MacDonald. A complete traitor to the labour movement who accomplished fuck all

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

Keir Starmer has had so few genuine achievements as Prime Minister that they had to show the clip of him doing 6-7 TWICE

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The test of any Prime Minister is: do you leave your country in a better place than you found it?

I’m proud that the answer is yes.

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@SkoomaBoofer The best part of the Planet of the Bass bit was that after the first clip went viral, he kept releasing new clips with a different woman as the lead, and people got legit mad about the recasting until Audrey Trullinger returned for the full music video

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@ShinMarginalScr 800,000 people initially expressed interest in joining a Corbyn/Sultana party and were immediately turned off by the infighting. The focus should have been getting people to join first on a basic common platform, organising branches, and then devolving democratic matters later.

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@xXMaddiMaladyXx If this was the cabinet I’d genuinely rejoin the Labour Party

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@jenuflexion I hate ChatGPT so much. I hate how these idiots can’t just think for themselves and get ai to write their shitty tweets

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@Awwrnold This is probably the best case scenario we can reasonably expect. Which would still be pretty humiliating for Farage. The only chance Binface has of actually winning is if Reform turnout completely collapses

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@tombruhcks I just wanted a socialist party, man. That’s all I wanted

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@eubankslastpen Merchant isn’t exactly breaking new ground in his recent works, but everything I’ve seen that’s been written by him has been at least solid. He’s not just riding off the legacy of The Office. Gervais’ post-Merchant career, meanwhile, has been nothing but self-aggrandising shite

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

All the stars are here! Piers Corbyn. Count Binface. Laurence Fox. All the stars are here!

[GB Politics @GBPolitcs]

🚨NEW: Piers Corbyn, brother of Jeremy Corbyn, has announced he will stand in the Clacton by-election

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@BareLeft I think there’s like a 10% chance it actually happens. If the Reform turnout is low and if he can actually mobilise a significant protest vote, I think he could actually squeak it

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@_francophobe If there’s even a 1% chance of this happening I will get a train ticket Clacton and canvass for Count Binface

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@Umartheone2 A Bukharin led USSR really would have been the best possible timeline

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@contxtsonic Timeline-wise, this would mean that Andy played with Jessie for like a year before he grew out of playing with toys lmao

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

My takeaway from this clip is that Mike Ehrmantraut is running for the DSA

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Jonathan Banks has returned as Mike in a new video celebrating 250 years of America.

[Lucas Ward 🇵🇸🇺🇦 @LucasWard_]

@Umartheone2 I mean at least it wasn't Trotsky I guess
