@MichaelRosenYes @simon_schama @HolocaustUK I am sure your books would be wonderful and be of great use to many people. But sadly I don't think young men like this read books. They are very online, gaming, memes, and TikTok mostly. Not even Facebook and certainly not print.😪

Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷
@simon_schama Hey, what if someone who has written popular books for young people and has a profile through his videos, were to write some books about the Holocaust? Do you think people like the @HolocaustUK would promote them, as a way of reaching people like these young men?

@jemgilbert @meadwaj Coopting efficiency from the right could well be a masterstroke. Efficiency is the corner stone of neoliberalism and small state except it isn't in the least bit efficient. If the left can dismantle that, it could be existential for the right.

@TimSimonH @AaronBastani Labour votes switching to the Greens may help Reform win with the progressive vote more divided. At the same time the regressive vote may switch more to Reform from the Tories making their vote less divided.

@Geoff_Hackney @AaronBastani Yes I get all that, but polls also show that Labour has lost more votes to the left/greens than it has to Reform. I can see the Conservative loses going to Reform, and some of the the Labour loses,but for that prediction to make sense over 1000 Labour seats are going to Reform.🤔

@TimSimonH @AaronBastani The Greens will do well where there is a large student population and where there is a large Muslim population. They will do well in urban areas and university towns. Elsewhere the voting system is likely to work against them. They are still 10% behind Reform in the opinion polls

@meadwaj I completely agree but to be fair left economic policy is not simple. It's easy if you are on the right, just more of the same, Neoliberal economics has stayed they same for nearly 50 years. Left economics is necessarily much more complicated and nuanced.

The tragedy for some part of the left is that their ambitions don’t run any further than “stopping austerity”. That’s no longer good enough. We need to be talking about redistribution, asset ownership, price controls, strategic reserves of key supplies. The 2010s are long gone.

Trump could be going full TACO. Could be a feint, of course, but placed stories yesterday seeking to blame Mossad for being wrong about an uprising in Iran were weird. Finger pointing in Tel Aviv about who screwed up.

@BlobWarriorUK @AaronBastani Most leftists actually repeatedly called out Bidens clear unfit state to be President. It was the centerist liberals that insisted he was fine not the left.

@AaronBastani Amazing how Trump's senility is openly discussed by leftists that insisted Biden was perfectly fine.

It doesn't matter. Those are the disruptions I concede will happen. But within a few weeks, it will all stabilize with makeshift supply from alternative suppliers. And Iran cannot do that blockade for the Strait of Hormuz forever- China gets oil from through that channel as well and eventually, they will also sing the message- let the ships pass without any disruption. Plus, remember Iran itself needs oil revenue! A closed channel means they also cannot sell and with the war now at full swing, they need every dollar for their war industry. Eventually the allies, including the Arab world will bomb the s$#&t out of Iran and they will have a zero capability of attempting to pick on the ships passing through the channel.

BREAKING: 🚨 reports that an Iranian Shahed-136 drone has struck an Emirati oil platform in the Persian Gulf. If Iran is going after the oil then this is going to wreck the global economy even more than just closing the strait of Hormuz. Trump has made a massive mistake.

@AyoCaesar Exactly this. I have been posting similar this morning else where. Massive challenge for the Greens how to scale up to contesting 100s of seats from previously only targeting 10. A very nice challenge to have though.

Gorton and Denton was 127th on the Greens target list (they came third in 2024, with 13% of the vote). Two things: 1) There is no longer such thing as a 'safe seat' for Labour. 2) The Greens are going to have to work out how to run an expansive campaign in 2029, without sacrificing efficient targeting.

The first proper poll of Gorton and Denton is out, conducted by Omnisis. It shows: 🟢 The Greens on 22% 🟣 Reform UK on 20% 🔴 Labour on 18% 🤷‍♀️ Undecideds on 31% It shows the Greens are best placed to defeat Reform - but it all depends on Undecideds.

@DoctorColossus3 @BNHWalker They have to get nominated first. The Labour right's plan will be to make sure only people they want make it onto the ballot. Or preferably only one person I.e Wes Streating so there is no ballot.

@BNHWalker Streeting is not popular in my CLP. Plus the fact i've seen no evidence he can beat Farage. And he's got a slim majority himself. so.....

Wesley coronation it is then. Claims near 200 MPs want him (counter claims this is exaggerated). All brought on by Starmer's "side", who've always seen this beleaguered PM as the temporary front man and inevitable fall guy for the capable but no less factional Health Secretary.

@EspressoLucid @AaronBastani Polanski has lived in London for most of his life. He is on record on wanting a London constituency, and doesn't want to be parachuted in to whatever comes up.

Last evening to Almeida’s opening of CHRISTMAS DAY, which proved a rare misfiring for the Islington theatre which aside from this tedious talking-shop play, has spawned a year of wonderful productions. Here’s hoping 2026 will see a return to form. @AlmeidaTheatre @LBO_Theatre

@AyoCaesar Given that anything I learnt would only useful to me as I couldn't divulge it that rules out any revelationary interviews.I think I would go for Lenin. So much to learn about what went right, what went wrong, what he would have done differently.That could be applied to organising

If you could interview one person, living or dead, and the conditions were that: a) they'd answer every question with absolute honesty, but b) you could never divulge or otherwise act on what you learn Who are you picking???

@Stephen1970t Do you not understand that terrorism is a subset of violence and murder. Not all murderers are terrorists. It's not the location or number of deaths or whether it is planned that makes it terrorism. Many murders are planned the majority aren't terrorism.
