I'm voting Green because they currently advance a form of politics that's as close to my own politics as I can realistically get from an electorally viable party. A lot of us vote more pragmatically than these people assume

The thing about this is, I'd be amazed if there's five people out there voting Green because they had, until now, placed great stock in Zack Polanski's historic hypnotherapy credentials. If I don't give a shit that he was once a Lib Dem I sure as shit don't care about this
English
@SPG_UKDK What is this, an episode of Rogue Traders? He was a Lib Dem more recently than he was a hypnotherapist and I don't meaningfully give a shit about that either. If you think people are voting Green because they hero-worship Polanski you're in serious trouble
English
@RopesToInfinity Why do people think a hypnotherapist claiming to be fully accredited by the NCH but isn't, is not important? If you went for treatment for example for treatment for depression, thought you were being treated by someone fully qualified & weren't you would be more depressed.

They always thought they were speaking for a great moderate middle who like war and crackdowns and want to vote Labour, if offered these things. It turns out that the people who like that stuff are 1) a section of middle class professionals 2) some journalists and 3) themselves.

“There are lessons in Mr. Starmer’s plight. A leader without a base will soon find the floor falling out from beneath them; a campaign that relies on voter apathy will foment the political forces it purports to fight.” nytimes.com/2026/05/05/opi…

@SmalllIvy We have a five day working week currently and yet many shops and restaurants are open for seven days, dipshit
English
OK, so stores, restaurants, bars would all be closed Ftiday through Monday?
Vittoria@vitt2tsnoc
I genuinely think if we all moved to a 4 day working week it would change the course of society. People would be happier, healthier, less angry, more present, I really think it would change the world.

Having the album I'm listening to finish just as I'm turning the key in the door at the end of a long walk, supremely satisfying experience

The week's listening. Extremely behind on listening to new shit but enjoyed the new Noveller noveller.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-the…

Feel like I'm gonna go insane watching this stuff, and that's probably the point isn't it

"Why is my Jewish identity being erased from this conversation?" asked @ZackPolanski "No.. don't try that one on me!" responded @TrevorPTweets

@RopesToInfinity @keewa I quite like the statue though the way it’s been reported as having a subtle message that the journalist needs to explain is quite funny

Letting the world's dullest people pay to be able to write essay-length tweets possibly the worst thing that's ever happened to this site

think advantage Corbyn had over Polanski is it took his opponents like 3 years of his leadership to really mainstream the idea that the left are endemically antisemitic. the left themselves are more sceptical of such claims now, but it's fully axiomatic in media/non-left parties.
Number10@ElwinWay
I like Zack Polanski and I think his heart is in the right place. Basically a nice guy who wants everyone to have a nice life. But the idea he is some titanium coated Superman who would weather the Establishnent storm where Corbyn folded always seemed unlikely to me.
English
I get why Polanski felt he had to apologise, but when was the last time someone apologising for something after a social media furore actually put the matter to bed? Makes fuck-all difference as far as I can tell
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting
A mealy mouthed apology for poor timing, rather than poor judgement. Not remotely serious.

"Currently starring in a play lampooning fascism" - "He's doing a good job, the trains are running on time" - incredible
The New Statesman@NewStatesman
Mark Gatiss: "I don't understand the antipathy towards Keir Starmer" The actor – currently starring in a play lampooning fascism – argues that the PM is doing a good job, but from the press he gets "you'd think he was Vlad the Impaler". Listen on the New Society podcast.

Do Americans ever talk about the 'special relationship'? Feel like the average Yank would be baffled if they found out how much the UK media goes on about it

Look how rattled these absolute freaks get when the Greens push Labour into moving 3mm to the left. Keep going!

EXCL: Rachel Reeves is considering imposing one-year rent freeze on private sector homes amid growing alarm in government about impact of Iran war on voters’ budgets. Landlords in England would be banned from raising rents for limited period of time under proposals, which are being debated by ministers as part of major cost of living package to be launched in coming weeks.
