Politics: Crude Marxist
- Meanwhile in the NYT a real social democrat makes the case for immigrants archive.ph/M2AEy
- It's pissing down in Barcelona again. This is getting ridiculous
- Not just bc he’s Irish, but bc (like me) he comes from a staunchly Fine Gael family, I’d been inclined to cut Morgan MacSweeney some slack. But @pronouncedalva.bsky.social’s reporting suggests he’s either a naïve fucking eejit, or worse. www.newstatesman.com/politics/lab...
- And Starmer's position is indefensible now too, for Labour the risks of keeping him are far greater than those of getting rid of him ASAP www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...
- Zach Polanski is a chancer who supports serious violence against the police. The only decent vote left in England is for, God help us, the Lib Dems. I'd definitely vote Plaid in Wales and maybe the SNP in Scotland
- It does though
- From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken about Gaza and the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. For someone in his position to do that is welcome, our columnist writes. That he is employed by Abu Dhabi doesn’t negate that.
- Two days after it broke perhaps the most economically consequential decision by Milei's govt hasn't been reported by the FT; Good luck investors!
- Sánchez punches right back at the owner of Telegram who earlier today joined Musk in calling him a tyrant. 💪💪💪
- 👇👇👇
- I think Starmer at a personal level is decent but this whole shitshow removes any doubts about his fitness for the PM role. No point sacking MacSweeney now, Starmer shd do the right thing himself.
- if people get regularly acquitted for causing serious injury to cops at political protests it won't improve how cops behave at such protests, to put it mildly
