If you're depressed because @Keir_Starmer @ShabanaMahmood @AnnelieseDodds and others have turned around Labour's machine, and made some spectacular gains, ask yourself why you're still calling yourself "left"... you can be critical and happy at the same time

Labour literally handed Liverpool over to the Conservative government because they saw an opportunity to suspend local democracy, and have since expelled a group of councillors for opposing cuts.

Not gonna single out Jack Monroe, but this sadly doesn't contend with the fact that many Labour councils and councillors actually agree with Conservative austerity ideology and have dutifully carried it out over the last decade without any real resistance.

Local elections: polls predict Tories could lose 550 seats, or 750 if Boris Johnson goes on GMB again.

USpol, classism, abortion, white supremacy 

Reminder that the broad pro-abortion narrative in this fuckin country is largely controlled by higher class white cis fems who benefit from the imperialism and internal/external colonialism that their patriarchs participate in.

Change the narrative. Make sure they don't take it over, again!

A lot of these high class cis fem groups don't give a shit for Black liberation in the imperial core. They didn't show up for George Floyd, much less Ferguson. They only want their settler benefits. They are not our allies or accomplices (at most, they're momentarily beneficial for us, if needed). They're not gonna risk their status and property for working class white and Black folks who will bear the brunt of state-mandated-births.

Abortion access is a class and race issue. Don't fuckin' forget that.

"I accidentally broke the law, accidentally took money to do up my flat, accidentally told MPs to vote to let kids go hungry, accidentally commissioned a report to deny structural racism, accidentally let people go into care homes untested & accidentally let 180,000 people die."

“We don’t have to agree with [actual fascists] on everything to work with them on [attacking trans rights].”

Yes, you fucking do, you horrible fucking simpletons. Of course you fucking do.

Where human rights are concerned, there’s no ‘polite disagreement’, no ‘middle ground’.
