#THREAD On May 1st, 1949, the essay 'Why Socialism?' was published in the first issue of Monthly Review, written by actual genius, Albert Einstein. It addresses some of the main & ongoing problems with capitalism, predatory economic competition, & growing wealth inequality.

It highlights how control of the mass media by private capitalists makes it difficult for citizens to arrive at objective conclusions, & how political parties being influenced by wealthy financial backers results in an "oligarchy of private capital". Sound familiar?

Can The Green Party survive the right-wing corporate press, and build a better media? Join us next Saturday at #GPC24 in Manchester - with Zack Polanski, Byline Times, Clare Farrell plus campaigners & experts - to discuss the politics and policies behind democratic media reform!

Nadhim Zahawi Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Odd tweet really. Is the problem the rough sleeping (which as Nadhim will know increased significantly after 2010) or it happening in Mayfair?

Nadhim Zahawi Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan I'm presuming you didn't offer any assistance as I followed your ministerial career relatively closely.

Nadhim Zahawi Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Maybe they've got £27m in an offshore trust in Gibraltar that they've forgotten about.

Whether it's about repressive legislation or the treatment of asylum seekers or welfare recipients, Labour seeks to appear as "tough" as the Tories, to appease the billionaire press. a. It never works. b. It leave us with a cruel, dysfunctional system. theguardian.com/world/article/…

By moving rightwards, you do not defuse the political threat from the right. On the contrary, you validate its positions and embolden it to become ever more extreme. This is what Germany has just discovered - again.

Nadhim Zahawi Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan Very glad you helped him, rather than just taking a photo without permission, walking 'passed', and declaring it's someone else's problem. People like you are the glue of our society.

This tweet leaves me speechless

Nobody believed Ryan Dalton when he said he saw a white fox , until his neighbour Sue C got it on photo - top work Sue ! The first #FoxOfTheDay with possible albinism !
