What would happen if we all lobbied for Oliver Coppard to use his new Burnham Bucks to build better regional rail for Sheffield and South Yorkshire? Wanna find out? substack.com/@fearlesskni...

With AI companies illegally scraping the entire history of human intellectual & creative output, putting everyone out of jobs... It'll be fascinating when we realize Universal Basic Income (UBI) is reparations for the largest theft of human labor in history that destroyed our ability to find work.

Another under-discussed aspect of UBI is it will empower workers. It'll be much harder for employers to get away with poor employee treatment when they have a safety net allowing them to quit jobs that mistreat them.

Why have the media erased Palestinians from this conversation - and why can’t they see how racist that is?

The essential conservative freedoms: Freedom To Comply Freedom From Discomfort Freedom To Persecute

Will there be any accountability? The prob is was both right & left leaning news orgs & they’re circling the wagons. The lack of basic humanity & decency *after* the fact is perhaps what’s most depressing of all. Anyway, Jason’s piece is here: jasonstanleyantifascist.substack.com/p/it-sure-lo...

That’s the charitable version of the story, where the lads have been acting out of pure, non-ideological cynicism and opportunism to smash stomp down upon various minority groups and the left. It doesn’t take into account: a lot of these people *are part of* resurgent fascism or riding its coattails

The major story of the last decade is the resurgence of overt racist hatred and fascism, on a specific platform of removing the civil rights of citizens, and deporting them where possible. The British press has - at best - used this opportunity to hammer the fuck out of everyone it’s always despised

Funny, isn't it. I can't see this policy announcement at the top of the BBC news homepage. Whereas the big Reform Ltd announcement on Monday was all over their news...

Imagine, we could wind up with a dumb Match of the Day format with journos repeating government’s key messages and commentating on who’s up and who’s down, occasionally joining in propaganda campaigns for obviously disastrous policies and helping them stomp all over anyone they hate and want to harm

"To gain compliance from combative individuals" is such a nice way of saying "to brutalize people fighting for their lives into submission."

Good. Now we need action. Tax fossil fuel giants to pay for firefighting helicopters. A cool space in every community. A maximum working temperature. And no new oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. We cannot negotiate with the science. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Climate breakdown isn't just costing lives, it's scorching our economy. We need to redesign our economy for a hotter climate, and make oil and gas firms pay.

Reform’s leaders peddle rhetoric around climate change denial. Their councils act on it. Last month, Reform-run Suffolk County Council scrapped its climate emergency declaration. Now, as a wildfire tears through the county, we are seeing exactly why climate action should not be abandoned.

Email me at southyorkscrossrail@gmail.com if this sounds interesting! Let's build better regional / commuter rail with the Burnham bucks!

@garethdennis.uk You might recognise this map! If you like the idea, I'd love a boost (Tried sending you an email but the address on your website bounced. Is there a better address to use?)

Nigel Farage is correct about one thing. It’s the people vs the establishment. Reform are literally the establishment. And it’s the Green Party on the side of the people. Wealth tax. Rent controls. Now. Join.greenparty.org.uk

walking around for the rest of the day with TURKISH .357 MAGNUM WITH "KEIR STARMER" ETCHED INTO THE BARREL running over and over in my head

So Ann Widdecombe appears to have died violently. Fuck violence. But also, fuck Ann Widdecombe.

Hehe! Count Vs cunt

violent public threats towards trans women? Remember how many people are in prison for holding signs or joining zoom calls regarding Palestine Action despite legal multiple legal resolutions showing how legally dubious Labour’s authoritarianism is? Think they’ll receive any compensation?

How dare the slightest nod towards actual justice be made towards violent bigots? Remember the constant calls for disabled people to be left to starve to buy more weapons, and yet £25k of public money goes to compensate a bigot for the slightest possibility he might be *investigated* for making

hopenothate.org.uk/chapter/who-... When people come out bearing tribute to her for her long political career, don't be afraid to speak ill of the dead.

We talk about “the Overton Window” and I do not think you will find a time in living memory when the goalposts of political acceptability were quite so forcefully yanked up, dragged rightwards and rammed back into the earth *by our political and media elite, in their own interest*, than our own era.

Oh Sarah you're so brave for staying when your wife transitioned! Wait so my life partner tells me she's gonna somehow get even hotter by growing some tits, and you think I'd choose that moment to leave?!?

I keep coming back to this video from @slimemildred.bsky.social on libs and stochastic terrorism. It's the clearest 22 mins I've ever seen or read on the subject, and the best thing on any subject in the last year. If you've not yet watched it, watch and bookmark it now. youtu.be/fqqwwS9Kvy8?...

So my girlfriend @fearlessknits.bsky.social and I wrote a book a couple of years ago about Democratic Communist values, and she's just written an excellent blog post about how it pertains to the current Labour leadership struggle, and you should read it! And the book! It's free!
