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."

@SandyofSuffolk I'm not quite a boomer, and much of what you say tallies with my memory. But you're leaving out the crucial thing - boomers had a booming economy, because of a social democratic state with decent wages, affordable housing and a good welfare system.

Just so you know. Boomers didn't have fast food. Except fish and chips. Boomers didn't have ready meals. Except Vesta beef curry. Look it up. Boomers didn't have colour TVs, front loading washing machines, central heating or holidays abroad. Boomers didn't have babymoons or baby showers nor did they go on stag or hen weekends. Boomers didn't go to restaurants. Except on birthdays. Boomers didn't have new clothes every year, every season. They made do and mended. But Boomers had a fabulous time in the 1960s to 1980s because people were friendly, respectful, dignified and hardworking. Boomers also had law and order and a judiciary who punished ALL criminals. Boomers were happy with their lot. Yes. I'm a Boomer. Just so you know.

@susanp_80 If Burnham is going to be a more popular PM than Starmer then he ought to be able to win an election without the Greens' help. It's not our job to help a party that never stops kicking us.

@owenjonesjourno @sonali2030 Owen, you don't have to react to every single mention of your name: you'll stress yourself out and never get any work done. I'm with you, sane people are with you - the rest can fuck off.

@sonali2030 I'm specifically rebutting the accusation of being a 'pick me leftist'. You cannot uncompromisingly oppose Israel's genocide from the very start and be a "pick me leftist"

That's like the bare minimum position expected from a decent human being, irrespective of their political posturing. But of course, decency is an anomaly for the imperial West
Owen Jones@owenjonesjourno

@BareLeft If I were a "pick me leftist", I wouldn't have taken the uncompromising stance I have on Israel's genocide and those complicit in that genocide, which has (predictably) meant I'm blacklisted by virtually the entire broadcast media

@campbellclaret Play a new sodding tune FFS: the people who thought this guy was the hope of politics (more correctly Blairism) are a literally dying breed. No one cares.

Whoever is Prime Minister in the coming months for heaven’s sake try to get David Miliband back into UK politics to be part of your team. His interview on Today programme just now a reminder of how much his voice and his brain are missed.

@AllyFogg @CarlDoran13 Its a great gift that Labour is refusing coalition with Greens, though frankly Greens should have got in first to be clear no coalition with labour. Partnering with labour would be utterly toxic for Greens and would only benefit Reform.

Hau-Yu Tam (@tamhauyu), an antisemitic Green Party councillor in Lewisham who compares Zionism to Nazism, has been appointed as a cabinet member responsible for “communities, sanctuary and inclusion”, and her portfolio includes “anti-racist policymaking”. thejc.com/news/politics/…

@jemgilbert Streeting and Starmer will destroy the Labour 'brand', which widens the space for the left beyond the party's history stranglehold.

Westminster is not working for people in Makerfield. It's time to challenge the system - and fight for ordinary people.

@YvetteCooperMP As far as I'm aware this is the first time you've had anything negative to say about Israel's behaviour since you became Foreign Secretary.

Yvette Cooper@YvetteCooperMP·
I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla. This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated. We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support. We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.

@carreg_y_defaid I mean. It’s obvious, isn’t it? Greens cannot win. I assume you don’t want Reform to win. So… let Labour win this one? Or let Reform in. It’s not difficult?

I thought it was a by-election in a democracy, not a coronation. Why should the Greens, or any other party, not campaign to win the Makerfield constituency?

@TobyManning Much depends on the Greens articulating a plausible successor to the Thatcherite model of political and moral economy. We are all sick of whatever this is, and we want to live together well. But we still don't have a programme that lives in our minds as voters

It's a panic response to the Greens, as well. But it is likely to be hemmed in by the compromises Burnham will feel obliged to make with the people who dominate the PLP and the party bureaucracy.
Joe Guinan@joecguinan

Burnham is the “do something, anything” panic response in the face of Farageism, without any explanation as to what Burnham will do differently—in political economy terms, not communications—that will achieve a different result from Starmerism. More fake “Change” is not enough!

@dai_alectic It's his second run, and he's deleted his entire social media account and carefully doesn't mention any policy issues.

@jemgilbert Don't feel much of the space the Greens occupy will be left if he wins, even as he inevitably melts. It took long enough for disappointment with Starmer to turn into anything, Burnham could easily faff along enough to quell the Green surge at the next GE

@danhind I feel if he wins he takes up a lot of the electoral space the Greens currently occupy, even while he inevitably melts in power.

@jemgilbert Cordially disagree: I think there's a greater potential for a radical reorganisation of formal UK politics if Stamer stays, the Greens get time to build as a clearer alternative than to they would offer to Burnham, and Reform show their arses in a few councils.

I want Burnham to beat Reform in Makerfield and Starmer in the Labour leadership election. That doesn't mean I think he's a saviour, a socialist, or a solution to any other problem than Reform potentially winning Makerfield and Starmer remaining PM. (1/2)

@AndyBurnhamGM Angela Rayner used a very similar line about "forty years of Thatcherism" - when outside government. We know the soft left trick by now.
