"Sharon Graham, the general secretary of the leftwing union Unite, had a blunt piece of advice [for #UKLabour 'Stop listening to your rich mates and start listening to everyday people.'"
Just so. Britain doesn't need yet another party funded by and beholden to the #kleptocrats
A thought, after listening to all the fucking securocrats wanking off over their Munich Security Conference.
In the Franco-Prussian war, the Paris Commune happened. At the end of the first world war, Russia had a #communist revolution, while the German navy mutinied in an explicitly left wing revolt. After the second, #communism was popular around the world, and the UK elected its most #socialist ever government.
War is not something the #Kleptocrats should wish for.
This is a really good analysis of how #Labour became a right wing party.
I was aware of their courting of rich donors, but I'd missed the revolving door between Labour governments and the defence and private healthcare industries, and the point about Labour directing anger towards immigrants in order to divert it from the #kleptocrats I'd completely missed.

The Greens are buoyant as Labour struggles. After shredding any semblance of a progressive agenda, fear of Reform is all the PM’s party has left, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones
@jonesmurphy @Remittancegirl They don't vote for the media. Even the Daily Mail only averages half a million copies. GB News is 'more popular' than the BBC or Sky but still gets only 147,500 viewers for its top programme.
There is marginal public appetite for ant of this media. We get not what the public wants, but what the #Kleptocrats think it in their interests to pay to provide.
Lest you believe the new act...
Marjorie Taylor Greene's estimated net worth before being elected to congress - $700,000.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's current net worth is estimated at $25,000,000.
By only a few days, Marjorie Taylor Greene will qualify for the congressional pension and benefits plan when she resigns in January.
She wasn't ever "America First", she's always been "Marjorie First."
When the ACA subsidies fall away, just remember Marjorie will be doing just fine.
"Russian oligarch, Mikhail Fridman... [may] use the tribunal to challenge the sanctions the UK levied against him after the invasion of Ukraine. He has already started suing Luxembourg for this reason, demanding $16bn (£12.1bn): half that government’s annual revenue. Among the lawyers representing him there? Cherie Blair, wife of the former British prime minister"
"#Putin to Meet With #Witkoff & #Kushner as #US Pushes for #Ukraine Deal"
This is all boiling down to what it's been all along:
The #Kleptocrats are circling #Ukraine, negotiating just *how* they're going to divide up the spoils
Then, "Kushner does NOT have a formal role in the #Trump admin, but supposedly “played a role” in brokering the cease-fire in Gaza."
#Kushner in #Gaza is circling, sketching out how and where he's going to construct his posh new #EasternMediterranean #GoldCoast resort with kleptocrats from #Dubai
One all the #Palestinians have been #Exterminated of course
