@sigismundninja The nordic social democrats are not left. They are right wing. They never rejected neoliberalism and today they have the same politics as the conservatives. Racist and in favour of the rich. Not populist and not TAN-left. Not left at all. #socialdemocracy. #politics #eupol #ukpo
Bernard Vall#Labour #ukpo " That did not stop Starmer repeating those same talking points that had proved ineffective about the Greens wanting to weaken Nato & drug laws. When he appeared on television mid-morning, his clip infuriated Labour MPs still further by seeming to be tone deaf.
One MP said Starmer “isn’t even close to getting it, unfortunately”, while another said No 10 had not quite grappled with “just how unpopular we are: our own people hate us”. The Guardian 28/2/26
PM blames voters
Cllr Gareth KitchenThe Express reports that Labour-run Brighton and Hove Council has ‘become the latest’ local authority to demand the removal of St George’s Cross flags from its streets.
Zoe Nicholson, the Green Party leader of nearby Lewes District Council, is quoted:
Tre are many positive cultural associations with the St George’s Cross flag that should be, and are, celebrated… However, it is deeply regrettable that the flag has also been hijacked by individuals and groups promoting extremist ideologies, the very ones this nation fought against [in the Second World War]. My hope is that the true meaning of the St George’s Cross flag can be reclaimed by the vast majority of good people in this country, for the honourable and unifying values it truly represents.
