Speaking as someone who has been right there with you on this front for years and who has complete respect for the view, and agreement in the need... where on earth do you see that coming from? I look at the current landscape and there's just nothing there. For all people can take considerable issue with Momentum and how it went in the end, it was the last genuinely reformative movement that didn't come from the right, and it was crushed by the centre, We were defeated in full. I see nothing anywhere that suggests anyone is remotely prepared to pick up the pieces of that.

 

Again - I am completely with you, but for all my attempts to justify a protest vote against Labour last time out, the reality is that all I achieved was voting for a party (SNP) that honestly aren't a million miles better anyway - and which felt in the end like a very weak gesture that had no point or merit to it. I wish now I'd stuck to just spoiling the ballot - equally as pointless, but more cathartic.

 

The sort of shift we need is probably one that spans borders tbh. It's not going to be a UK only event.


Gary Stevenson is starting to make waves as a credible voice of the left. I think he has a future in politics

He always seems to talk a lot of sense but with the knowledge to back it up

Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement. Still waiting for the sentencing but it may include a ruling that she's ineligible to run for public office. 

 

I would think that even if it doesn't, this is not a good result for her electorally.

She's actually been sentenced to jail?

 

Fucking hell, France rapidly becoming the most ballsy country in the world at this rate, wtf is this timeline.

Not quite, she'll probably be on a tag rather than actually in a jail. Now watch her become a martyr for the far right.

She will for sure but like, what is the alternative really. She's a fucking criminal. At some point we need that line in the sand where we stop giving ground and start actually standing up to these gangsters. Besides, if there's a country in the world you can rely on to not go quietly against government authoritarianism in this day and age, it's France.

He speaks plainly too so you don’t need an economics degree to understand him.

He's wasting his time anyway. He can write as many of these as he likes, but he's pissing in the wind against an algorithm designed to turn these people against him. So he just ends up embarrassing himself for nothing.
