@Nassreddin2002 can we even use that anymore since SYRIZA and PASOK switched places again?

PASOKification has reached Britain

@PolitlcsUK half the scg need booting

@LilithRStacey @ZackPolanski 1/3 of the country doesn’t have an opinion on the leader of the tory party, they’re truly finished, people at least hate labour, the tories are irrelevant, which is the real sign of a dead party

The concept of @ZackPolanski being more known than the Leader of the Opposition is outstanding.

@SamJRushworth @NoJusticeMTG you’re absolutely pathetic, what’s in the water in BA? Dehenna Davison and now you!?

@NoJusticeMTG I didn't go for free. 9% of my salary goes on student debt.

I agree with this 👇 It was completely wrong for people to attack Hannah for dancing, or her colourful outfits. It's also wrong for Hannah to exploit incorrect stereotypes and impugn the reputation of hard-working, working-class Labour MPs, which she's done at least twice now.

@AaronBastani if you listen to political currency I think you should be on a watchlist somewhere

I’m afraid this party needs to die. Not least for the people it’s meant to look out for.

@Alejandro_SocEU liberal nationalists in Catalonia have a lot to answer for

Far-right support in Germany, with “strict migration restrictions and talk about urban landscape issues”: 27% Far-right support in Spain, with “open migration policies and a left-wing government”: 17% No, migrants are not the main issue driving these parties. Sound socioeconomic policy is the key to defeating them. In fact, if Pedro Sánchez actually governed (which he hasn’t really done since 2023), Vox would likely be even lower.

@siennamarla surely the whole scg will have to vote for the motion, how can’t they?

EXCL: John McDonnell will be voting in favour of the motion to refer the PM to the Privileges Committee. Separately, I'm told other Labour MPs are concerned about having the whip suspended if they vote against the three-line whip. Labour won't tell me whether that is the case or not.

@HugoPap2 oh really? oh yeah hadn’t thought of that one, thanks for pointing that out

@JohSmitfi2 Or maybe we could not have a genocidal maniac run Israel

Naftali Bennet is more extreme than Netanyahu is.

the response to the Hannah Spencer thing has been the most stupid and humiliating display of Westminster unanimity since....well at least the last one. they truly have no fucking idea do they.

@Alejandro_SocEU @AustinHoney30 spain’s left is in power though while trump is running deportation camps using ICE thugs?

I think you have too much confidence in Florida’s Hispanic voters, who are among the most conservative sociologically. It’s like expecting Venezuelans in Spain to vote left even as the right becomes more openly anti-immigrant. Still, I hope I’m wrong—and maybe, with some luck, at least the coastal district turns blue.

Dear god they better hope SoFlo Hispanics don’t revert hard left

@Stsantek @AaronBastani michael foot was a leader of the old soft left, how would the new soft left treat an MP with foot’s politics today?

@AaronBastani The party’s soft left has a richer history than that but it certainly feels like this for the last 15 years

When I hear ‘soft left’ I just think: aversion to leadership, aversion to multi-decade political strategy, going with the wind, boring. Beyond that, though, it has no real purchase within a particular section of British society and has no vision for the future.

@AaronBastani Feinstein should join the Greens and run as their candidate, win’s in the bag then

I don’t think it’ll be this close.

@labourball @residentadviser or maybe you’re just hopelessly out of touch

@residentadviser The older I get the more I realise that politics is just vibes. Pointless, cynical, hollow vibes.

Very funny how David Blunkett and Ruth Kelly’s old PPS and friend - who shared a flat with James Purnell - is seen by Polanski “closer to my politics” than a Haldane Society lawyer who marched Iraq (which Burnham voted for 🤣). Then again Polanski was a Lib Dem and a Zionist

@residentadviser I think we’ll see a Lib-Lab Pact if Burnham is made leader, could even see it under Starmer

An alliance with the Greens would be insane (tho less of a disaster for Labour than a Tory-Reform pact would be for the Tories). Burnham as the head of big tent, anti-Reform Popular Front - stretching from soft hard left into parts of the centre-right - works. And would win.

@DropSiteNews Abbas is the Rumkowski of our age

🇵🇸 Abbas Loyalists Sweep Unchallenged Palestinian Municipal Elections Palestinians voted Saturday in their first municipal elections since the 2007 Fatah-Hamas split, with final results announced Sunday by the Palestinian Central Elections Commission, according to WAFA. The vote marked the first electoral exercise of any kind in Gaza in two decades, restricted to just one city. ➤ Commission head Rami Hamdallah said 522,000 voters cast ballots, with turnout at 54 percent in the West Bank. Salfit saw the highest turnout at 71 percent, and women won 33 percent of seats. ➤ The Gaza vote was restricted to Deir al-Balah, the only area not fully invaded by Israeli ground forces, with about 70,000 eligible voters, less than five percent of Gaza’s population. Turnout there was just 23 percent, compared to 56 percent in the occupied West Bank, according to Al Jazeera. ➤ Hamas was excluded from running. A November 2025 decree by Mahmoud Abbas required candidates to commit to PLO agreements with Israel, effectively barring Hamas and other resistance factions under pressure from the U.S., EU, and Israel. (Drop Site reported the news in December 2025 - linked below). ➤ Fatah-aligned lists swept the West Bank, often running unopposed. In several cities, including Nablus and Ramallah, only one list was submitted and automatically won without a vote. ➤ In Deir al-Balah, Gaza, a Fatah-backed list won 6 of 15 seats. Two independent groups took most of the remaining seats, while a list seen as aligned with Hamas secured just two. Hamas supported the process logistically, deploying over 500 personnel and calling it “an important step.” ➤ Despite Hamas’ exclusion, Gaza police secured sites with armed guards, CNN reported. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem called the vote “an important and necessary step” and called for presidential and legislative elections to follow. ➤ Low turnout in Gaza was also linked to mass displacement, an outdated voter registry, and daily survival pressures, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reported. Israeli restrictions also delayed delivery of ballot equipment and destroyed schools forcing polling stations into tents. The Palestinian Authority described the Gaza vote as a symbolic “pilot” to signal political continuity between West Bank and Gaza. Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, the head of the Palestinian National Initiative, said the process is “not a substitute” for long-delayed presidential and legislative elections. Polling continues to show Hamas remains the most popular faction across both Gaza and the West Bank. Video: APT

@_Spoti get your head out your arse, this is not a game, you cheapen class struggle when you deliberate upon ideology like an exercise in petty consumption, we don’t have time for this frivolous infighting!!!!
