- Nigel Farage won thanks to billionaire owned media. Jeremy Corbyn and 4 Green MPs won thanks to OUR movement - which runs on people’s passion, commitment and solidarity alone. No wonder they’re so scared of us 😘
- Imagine if journalists grilled government ministers the way they do unionists.
- Centrist politics nurtures fascism. Socialism defeats it.JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:
- The drudgery of life under capitalism is going to become much more obvious as people can no longer afford to go out and buy stuff to numb the pain of working constantly for people who pay them nothing and treat them like shit.
- I am so sick of people taking liberal rights that were created to protect against the despotism of the state and projecting them onto every area of social life. *The state* has to presume your innocence, the average person does not.Russell Brand is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
- If we’ve learned anything over the last few days it’s that the right are the real virtue signallers; the real snowflakes; the real perpetrators of cancel culture; and the real enemies of free speech.
- My little brother asked me why everything suddenly seems so fucked - and this is about as simple an answer as I could give.
- There are two explanations for this: 1. Overt corruption: someone has spent £5 and pocketed the £30. 2. Covert corruption: state procurement is so ineffective that the public gets charged £30 for something worth £5.
- Never forget that a Labour government stood by and allowed this to happen.
- Up to now I’ve been open minded, and willing to make a strategic choice about who I voted for next election - but there is no way I can vote for a Labour leader who endorses war crimes. I await my letter of expulsion…
- The media is going to systematically de-platform Green MPs over the next 4 years while giving Farage a megaphone. It’s on us to force the issues that matter onto the agenda. That means we’ve got to make a lot of trouble 😈
- So Starmer does do moral outrage… just not over child poverty or genocide.The damage done to Stonehenge is outrageous. Just Stop Oil are pathetic. Those responsible must face the full force of the law.
