YouGov / Sky News / Times voting intention *Greens leapfrog Labour into second place* RefUK 23% (-1) GRN 21% (+4) LAB 16%(-2) CON 16%(-2) LDEM 14%(nc), Pollster note: This is the highest we've had the Greens, the first time we've had them in second. It is also the lowest we have had Labour. In terms of how meaningful this is, it is obviously likely driven to a significant extent by the publicity from the Denton & Gorton by-election, as well as any impact it has from the Greens appearing a more viable option and less of a wasted vote. It remains to be seen to what extent it sticks, or whether it fades again as the immediate publicity boost recedes. Sunday/Monday

Dostoevsky demolished Karl Marx in a single paragraph In just a few lines, he dismantled Communism — and exposed the evil at its rotten core Here’s what Dostoevsky wrote, and how it put Marx and Communism to shame…🧵

Powerful discussion in #Bristol yesterday as @jeremycorbyn & Rhona Michie exposed how the global arms trade fuels war and injustice. A packed house heard Bristol Central Green MP @carla_denyer praise their timely book and ask: Can China’s arms trade be quantified in dollars—and human cost? Huge thanks to @McDarran for hosting and @corbyn_project and other contributors in this important book. Monstrous Anger of the Guns – how the arms trade is ruining the world.

The Tories - Johnson, Truss, etc - were not “right wing”. They increased welfare, tax, immigration & debt to new records and vastly expanded bailouts, regulations & money printing Isn’t this called socialism? thetimes.com/article/54a202…

Perfect illustration of how the BBC operates. It can tell critics it covered this story, while hiding it away so almost no one will actually see it. This is the newspaper equivalent of burying embarrassing news as a filler at the bottom of page 46.
Media Lens@medialens

Hello @BBCNews, A British surgeon presented shocking evidence to a UK parliamentary committee that Israeli drones *target Palestinian children*. * Why is this not headline news? * Why does it not appear under ‘Israel-Gaza war’? * Why have you buried it under ‘local news’?

The "Americans are simply bigots" crowd needs to reckon with the fact that an objectively far more racist & sexist US society produced the political antidote to fascism (FDR), and it's a vastly more enlightened culture* that's seen Trump's rise. There is more going on here.

It bugged me that I couldn't find a video of the entire genocidal song, but then came Maccabi Tel Aviv fans: they arrived at Ben Gurion airport, fleeing from the fake pogrom, and started singing the entire song... Ole ole Ole ole ole Let the IDF win and fuck the Arabs Ole ole Ole ole ole Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans: - chanted "kill the arabs" - chanted "there are no schools in Gaza, because all the children are dead" - ripped down Palestinian flags - disrupted the minute silence for the Valencia flood victims - with fireworks "Antisemitic attacks"? Get a fucking grip.

We are deeply alarmed and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic attacks against Jewish football fans in Amsterdam on Thursday evening. These abhorrent acts, which resulted in multiple injuries, are a stark reminder of the ongoing threat faced by Jewish people worldwide, even in public spaces. Occurring on the weekend of the Kristallnacht anniversary, these attacks serve as a grave warning that the fight against antisemitism remains urgent and vital.

FDR, 1936: "Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. Never before in our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they are today. They are unanimous in their hate-and I welcome their hatred!" The voters:

The Democrats used to have a President called FDR who was elected four times in massive landslides with a program of economic populism and massive investment in infrastructure and social programs. The Party elites today barely know who he was and despise everything he stood for.
