Panic in New York https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06/26/panic-in-new-york/ The prospect of a genuine left-of-centre candidate with widespread support standing to be Mayor of New York is panicking the political establishment, whether Republican or Democratic. They should be worried. He could win.

What is screwing Britain?

The Resolution Foundation says UK incomes will flatline until 2030. This isn’t an accident—it’s by design. High interest rates, unfair taxes, and Labour's inaction are all crushing incomes and deepening inequality. We need change. This is the audio version: This is the transcript: What is screwing Britain? It's a question that needs to...

The biggest media failure on the bombing of Iran is that every article should have started with: "The Iran nuclear deal signed in 2015 effectively curtailed Iran's nuclear program until the US withdrew in 2018, under pressure from Israel".

Without this context, any commentary is worthless.

they're gonna kill him, aren't they?

You ask the question many are thinking & all I can say is I hope he & his family have good smart bodyguards. 😐

If history has taught us any lesson about the US, then yes.

@amiserabilist They're gonna Waluigi him.

@amiserabilist he's an interesting candidate and might be right for mayor. However, you're right, they'll be rich twat scrambling to "amend" the situation.

@amiserabilist I hope not, but I give it 80:20 that they will try to assassinate him literally or figuratively. This slow road to the USAmerican empire dissolution and irrelevance is tiring to watch

@Illuminatus @amiserabilist

They’ve already been at it.

Mailer sent out against him. We’re just outright defamation and the rights exploded with it, 24/7

They can’t help themselves. And for some reason left leaning young men, are all over him. They are saying things like if this guy doesn’t win, I give up on the Democrats forever.

@amiserabilist that's what I am worried about too

@amiserabilist
Likely. But they might just reintegrate him like they do with everything that is slightly revolutionary. Thats what borg... i mean capitalists do.

But in any case, we need to understand that we have to beat capitalism to death now.

Its shown how it always leads to fascism, sooner or later. Its over. The trust has been broken and the relationship is ruined. Capitalism needs to hand over the keys to the apartment.

Socialism has worked in so many countries and still does.

@amiserabilist Remember, the NYPD threatened and doxed Bill De Blasio's daughter after he tried to cut their budget. Memdani should probably hire his own security. ACAB

@amiserabilist I needed to google him. Well, good luck to him for becoming mayor.

Arthur van der Harg 15h ago

@amiserabilist No need, when they can just put him on ICE …

One of the very few politicians speaking the truth.

What will happen, disappeared by ICE, murdered on maga orders, incarcerated and tortured.

If anything happens to him I sincerely hope a cleansing of the present filth in office starts immediately and does not stop until justice is restored.

@amiserabilist They're going to false flag something or other, for sure.

@RandamuMaki Or someone's just going to shoot him like MLK.

@amiserabilist haha yeah because the 2 party line for decades now has been 'if you're poor it's your fault'

If they do, they are opening an extremely dangerous box that they will regret ever opening.

And both parties will be complicit.
