@patrick_hurley @UKLabour you've been the establishment too long, you've only learned how to dismiss your opponents and not learned when it is necessary to engage, presumably you all thought it never would be

Tarquin Polanski here, telling his student union mates how @UKLabour isn’t for the working class any more. 🤦 Posh kids like him have been selling the same bollocks since 1968.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

Labour voters are now those who are financially best off. This is because Labour have turned their backs on the working class to placate the wealthy. The unions have noticed and are liking what they see in a Green Party committed to workers right and affordability.

@markofsoton @RadiumChaser @YouGov hostility to nato is a huge boon in 2026, it means the greens are the only party taking advantage to rapidly growing hostility to the usa and the only party seriously opposed to a war of aggression waged on behalf of israel, which is also wildly unpopular in the uk in 2026

@RadiumChaser @YouGov Greens and the Lib Dems are in a bind..nimby greenism is not going to survive NATO denial at GE, likewise one national liberalism is fragile could see a Tugendhat Tory party eating both their rural seats. Libs need to go for actual liberalism, devo & anti-labour centralism.

@RadiumChaser @YouGov greens are the only serious political party actually talking about current events, the state of our infrastructure etc, everyone else is just doing class and race identity stuff to cover that their only actual goal is protecting the rich

@rozina_ali the US/israeli war strategy is explicitly terroristic, they're talking openly and enthusiastically about bombing iran into submission and this matches their strategy elsewhere. the intel is fine, they just want to bomb orphanages

US appears to have hit an orphanage in Tehran. US targets in Iran so far, which include schools and a sports hall, raise serious Qs about intel strength
Sana Noor Haq • سناء نور حق@sananoorhaq

At least two people have been killed by a US-Israeli strike on an orphanage west of Tehran, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported Monday, as human rights advocates warned against the scale of destruction. Five others were injured in the attack on a newly built orphan charity complex in the city of Fardis, about 25 miles west of Tehran, the agency quoted a regional official as saying. Rights groups have condemned the number of civilians and children killed in US and Israeli strikes and the targeting of educational establishments and residential areas. In Iran alone, strikes have killed at least 230 children and injured a further 1,800, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported on Sunday. On Friday, the UN human rights chief escalated calls for the White House to publish an investigation into a likely US strike on an elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, on the first day of the war that Iranian media said killed 168 children and 14 teachers – the single deadliest attack so far. “The images of bombed-out classrooms and grieving parents showed clearly who pays the highest price for war: civilians with no power in the decisions that led to conflict,” Volker Türk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, told a Human Rights Council meeting last week.

@Aidan_Regan instead of imagining how things ought to be, try to imagine a media structure existing under capitalism that would enable this, try to puzzle out how such a thing would come into existence, how it would survive, how to prevent its corruption by capital. identify the real problem.

The death of investigative journalism is a core part of the democratic malaise. Imagine how much better our democracies would be if journalists spent their days on corporate corruption and money in politics - instead of poll numbers and political soap operas.

Signed up for drum building workshop without noting it was for a shamanic drum. We had to journey to connect with the spirit of our drum and share our experience. I had nothing so recounted the scene from Harry Potter where he summons his Stag Patronus to repel dementors.

@bets8181 @Channel4News the purpose of racist narratives is to convince people of absurd shit like this, that they actually want us to bomb them, that us bombing them is doing them a favour etc, the chosen enemy is declared irrational to dismiss rational discourse about them in the imperial core

For many in Iran, the war is a necessary evil to depose the Islamic regime and give them freedom. But for others, it's coming at too high a price. A filmmaker in Iran spoke to three people who say they are losing hope that the conflict will make anything better. We have disguised their voices for their safety.

MI6 chief Richard Moore said last year that his intel agency "forged a relationship with" now Syrian ruler Ahmed Al-Sharaa "a year or two before" he seized power. MI6's man is now at No.10 (he's the one on the right).

1) It’s only for convicted terrorists. Framing it as against all Palestinians is totally disingenuous. 2) Palestinians are not a race (obviously). 3) Tossing in “apartheid” and “genocide” to foment hatred is an appalling strategy. 4) Why is a US congresswoman retweeting a random account from Ramallah?
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib@RepRashida

The Israeli government is about to pass a law mandating the death penalty, only for Palestinian prisoners. Mass execution by hanging, solely on racial lines. This is apartheid and the next step in the genocide of Palestinians, already systematically tortured in Israeli prisons.

Israel is a mature fascist society in endpoint genocidal mania. There is nothing more to say about it. Its civil society has comprehensively failed, and can't maintain the charade of the rule of law. All that's left is international coercion, and hopefully we'll get there soon.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that about 80% of the 900,000 Syrians in Germany should return home within three years, an idea supported by Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa. He added that well-integrated Syrians who wish to stay would be allowed to remain.

@PeppOliveChive @JewishChron that zionism is antisemitic can be easily deduced from the basics of the ideology, even without examining the history to learn how it grew out of antisemitic 19th century nationalism. obvious example: both nazism and zionism frame european jews as false europeans

A video of this online live chat has gone viral in which a pro-monarchy Iranian musician thanks young Israeli women for ‘saving’ Iran through US-Israeli air strikes. His confused guests respond by saying ‘we’re not saving them, we’re killing them.’
