It’s official - “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” is a demonstrably awful strategy for Labour. Boosts salience of immigration, costs votes on the left, doesn’t persuade any voters on right (why would they accept a crap knock-off when they can have the original?)

The cut on PIP hurts all UK tax players, aside from the rich, I think most of us would happily pay into a scheme that will give us a bit back if we need help getting dressed or to clean ourselves

The amount of migrants in the Uk who don’t speak English is at 1.4%. Feeding racists delusions in the hope of electoral gain (because let’s face it starmer doesn’t believe anything he says) is really dangerous.

The biggest challenges facing the UK are in care and construction. Both areas which are facing significant staffing shortages. This direction will make the problem worse. If people’s lives don’t get better it won’t matter how much migration comes down

For me, I will remember him as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.

A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

The whole point of having a strong economy should be so we can look after the sick and disabled and provide them a dignified standard of living

Deeply concerned by the news of using LLM to replace civil service tasks. LLM are not, at this moment, cost saving. They are just subsided by venture capital Making the state dependent on LLM is very dangerous even if LLM were more reliable then they currently are

It’s not hypocrisy as much as the right doesn’t believe in universal rights. Of course the first amendment should protect them but not its enemies.

One of the worst things about getting older is seeing ‘progressives’ roughly your age become bitter and buy into the idea of young people not having it as hard

It’s really quite something to see the free market party who have constantly pushed for libertarian and anti inflationary reforms suddenly decide that inflation is sometimes worth it and that free markets are actually bad

Turns out, the United States did send $50 million for STD prevention to Gaza ($83 million to be exact). Just so happens, it was sent to the province of Gaza in Mozambique, the country located on the southeastern coast of Africa. Hamas in Gaza, Palestine, did not receive $50…

Trumps claims for Greenland might just save the EU. Provided the fake nationalists, who have turned out to be little more then US fetishists, don’t take power in a few key countries.

Nice to see @NewLeftReview doing a properly materialist critique of AI and data - focused on the energy and raw material demands as much as the profits, and avoiding the “worker-washing” of the tech. newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…
