Keir Starmer

Is it really controversial to suggest that a lot of Muslims aren't all that keen on Jews, though? And would the Guardian be wringing its hands in this way if anyone had suggested that a lot of Jews aren't too keen on Muslims, or that a lot of non-Jewish white people aren't that keen on Jews or Jews, both of which are true?

Mr Tea, doubling down on Labour Islamaphobia

David Edgerton is a don - probably literally, def metaphorically - https://www.theguardian.com/comment...r-red-wall-working-class-brexit-conservatives

"The phenomenon of a working-class red wall is an ideological concoction that benefits Labour’s enemies. It makes little sociological or psephological sense today, and the fragment of the past it reflects is one of Tory working classes. Yet this group has come to define how Labour thinks of the working class. That the party views this Tory analysis as a bellwether of its fortunes speaks to its collapse as an independent, transformative political force. If it is ever to win significant support today among real English people, Labour needs to understand its own history, celebrate its successes and love itself, its members and its voters."

I wish someone in Labour's top team would read this.

from something I read today...

"The stronger your left is, the more credibility your center has. If you don't have a left, your center *is* the left and then they have no credibility." – Sarah Schulman

seems quite applicable here

My days of smashing Mr Teas face are truly over.

 

[Mr. Tea]

It's like we're just going through the motions, John. We've lost that spark.

Man like STN lent me her "The Gentrification of the Mind" which I highly recommend. She is bad ass.

[WashYourHands]

Bottled in Greenwich, screaming, nostrils full of the smell of his own blood, an eye cut open eyelid all severed staring into the pain, being chased down by raging randoms who set their dogs on him

"I fed my dog his tongue" said Graham from Poplar, "he was in pieces by this point so i just said fuck it and let my mastiff Zeus chomp through his face"

You might have mentioned it once or twice.

Anyway, a small ray of light in the gloom:


Could just be a blip, of course.

It's probably due to LOTO Dominic Cummings' stories being given some traction on the front pages and BBC. Let's hope it continues

Probably, but I'll take any hope I can get at this point.

I don't really want to prise open the wound but it is about antisemitism rather than "trying to drive the Left out of the party" or whatever people will be saying on Twitter. Is a bit Kinnock and Militant really.
