Jeremy Gilbert: "This is a landmark work that brings a complex analytical framework to bear on the entire past 70 years of Anglophone pop music history .... will be a key reference point for politically and sociologically informed cultural criticism for years to come."

@LauraTrottMP You're equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, which is ... anti-Semitic. All Jews do not support the state of Israel.

Laura Trott MP@LauraTrottMP·9h

This is a grim picture of the appalling behaviour Jewish students are facing. These vile individuals are masked to intimidate. We should not tolerate this. Any student involved must face firm disciplinary action, or we signal this behaviour is acceptable. Enough.

Nicole Lampert@nicolelampert

Earlier this week the @UJS_UK put out a report about antisemitism on campus. This is it in action at @ucl in London on Tuesday. ‘Say it loud, say it clear, Zionists are not welcome here.’

@mikekatz Anything positive to offer us or just negativity about a party with 10% of your mps ?

The Greens need to stop kidding themselves. This isn't about defending free speech on Gaza, it's about protecting Jewish Brits. You can do both. Proper progressives should defend a minority facing racism. Greens to vote on challenging NHS antisemitism telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@NicholasTyrone He has a whole team of economists who advise him. What you got? Just right wing prejudice. Strong medicine.

“It is basic Keynes”. He has no idea what he’s talking about.

The Green Party@TheGreenParty

“It is basic Keynes — we need to look at the long-term impact of investment, how it brings money back into the economy and builds purchasing power for ordinary people.” @ZackPolanski answering a question on borrowing and our long-term economic strategy at his speech at the New Economics Foundation.

@LeeGregoryPeck @NicholasTyrone Zack's economic politics are slightly to the right of the Keynesian British government of 1945-51. Polanski is not suggesting getting rid of capitalism, just taming it as the post-war government did and we gave up on from 1976 onwards.

English

Lee Gregory Peck@LeeGregoryPeck·2d

@NicholasTyrone Keynes stil believed in capitalism and would not have supported the Greens if he was here today.

@francesbarber13 I cba scouring the press of the last 40 years to find some stupid things you've said, but like the rest of us, you will have, and way more than once, but will have done so publicly.

frances Barber@francesbarber13·1d

Problem is, once you say something so ludicrous and offensive it’s very difficult to trust anything else you say.

I'm sorry for saying that hypnosis could make women’s breasts bigger, Green leader Zack Polanski has said Polanski said he could use his mind to enlarge breasts in a 2013 interview 'I've apologised several times...most people are interested in how I'm going to lower bills'

@anon_opin I also think early drum'n'bass, all of first iteration post-punk (turned up to 11), 70s metal, glam, Motown, ghetto funk etc etc

Trip hop has aged incredibly well. Portishead, Tricky and Massive Attack sound great today. Name any other niche time specific genre that doesn't sound embarrassing and clunky 20 or 30 years after its heyday.

@Alex_Niven Yeah big beat is very much part of that cartoonish, everything's a laugh 90s that is very very hard to mourn. The complacency of the middle classes under utopian phase centrism.

Alex Niven@Alex_Niven·1d

This is probably true, and the salient point of comparison is surely big beat. 'Rockafeller Skank' unquestionably the worst thing to happen to Western culture 1945-2000

The Gaza Tribunal paints a bleak picture of UK governments' failure to prevent genocide and complicity in atrocities against Palestinians. We support demands for transparency, boycotts and sanctions, and an end to all arms sales and intelligence sharing. End the genocide.

Tom Gann@Tom_Gann·4d

This is very sad. Corbynism always promised a faith in capacities from below, it was a challenge to various monopolies on political action & knowledge. What we have here is incompetence because of precisely that fear of any initiative that isn’t controlled by the centre.

@shearernorthern Hope is the possession of ordinary people and it's one thing the ruling elites can't take away from them. The left - when it's doing its job - just captures that hope and gives it political expression.

English

Peter Shearer@shearernorthern·6d

They tried to tell everyone it was Corbyn destroying the Labour Party when it is more and more obvious he was its last hope. They thought it would destroy our hopes too but not for the first time they understated the left!
