Former musician, now a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholar looking at sustainable rural transitions and farmer protest through a Human Geography lens at Keele University.

It's all just one giant laugh to the media/elite class innit. No mention of the huge rightward shift, economic damage etc and all the associated human suffering that those things bring.

This is what the Israeli state is. It's a fascist genocidal state with zero regard for human rights or international law. Aided and abetted by the UKs own government. Absolutely shameful.

Solid example of why people voted overwhelmingly for him not to be leader. Also, Burnham has ruled out PR. Wake up and smell the coffee....Labour, Burnham led or otherwise, is neither a progressive party, no a viable force to stop the far right [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 May 2026 17:46 +0000at://did:plc:ecec5fhdghscgl3q2vqiojp6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mm7x373xws2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/tom-cb.bsky.social/post/3mlvrno75pc2pDeary me. This ridiculous progressive nationalism agenda needs dropping immediately. Caroline Lucas doing the bidding of a right wing Labour government which kowtows to the far right repeatedly is absolutely wild. We need a new politics, not of the establishment so let's not go supporting it eh?!

Hardly bodes well for Labour does it?!

Even in the US, tackling climate change has majority support. To deal with it, you can't ignore it, you can't 'take the politics out of it', you have to struggle constantly and develop the necessary politics. It's VERY hard. That is why we must carry on.
