Ideology absolutely does not consist in deceiving people; ideology is just the system of statements that flow from an organization of power such as it is: for example, between the Reformation and Catholicism, the problem is one of organizations of power,

It’s a crap review by someone who despises the left more than most Tories (Jason Cowley) in a crap paper (The Observer).

Not an original thought in the man’s head.

Delighted that socialist former Labour MP Lynne Jones has joined The Green Party.

A huge welcome to our growing movement.

Brilliant to see so many new people joining: join.greenparty.org.uk

‘Greens have made huge gains‘, says party co-leader

There's actually a lot of bad writing in academia. But pointing to a passage with long words you don't understand is a phenomenally bad way of evidencing that.

You may be wondering why so many Universities have links to arms manufacturers, making the technology that kills thousands in Gaza & elsewhere. It’s about the marketisation of higher education. These companies pay top dollar & ethics go out of the window when money becomes king.

They are running scared... This is a sign of weakness and insecurity: a lack of confidence in what can be seen of what they are doing in Gaza...

Incase you missed it, because the MSM definitely have!

Lynne Jones, a former Labour Party MP of 18 years, has just joined the Green Party and is calling on others to do the same.

What are you waiting for? Join now!

Tweeting this on the day Labour have selected an undergraduate student at Durham University as their candidate for a seat in Devon lol

A Labour MP for 18 years, now joined the Greens. Your Mission Impossible for today is to find any mention of this in the British media.

A more organised thread with some thoughts on Zadie Smith, as someone whose spent a lot of time with her writing.

Zadie Smith has had consistently liberal (not leftist) politics, and has also consistently shown a belief in her own exceptionalism (as have critics at large)

To understand Zadie Smith, you have to understand Cambridge. And its special brand of self-regarding gaslighting.

This is a more general problem. Over the years, especially in the Corbyn era, I clocked dozens of “takes” on leftist attitudes to Israel/Palestine from liberals who have never seen fit to write an informed word on the subject, and who are *quite satisfied* with their ignorance.

Yep, that's definitely what happened. No need for further analysis, let alone investigation. Another layer of journalistic lacquer on what happened in 2019, and we're left with half-formed questions and a vague sense that something untoward is going on. theguardian.com/books/article/…

A huge amount of post-90s culture is basically very posh people congratulating each other for being slightly less racist than they used to be.

A classic case of ‘Mandelson’s Law’ - an inverse correlation between how successful your project is and how nice you are.

I suspect the greens will be accused of ‘institutional racism’ when they hit 2000 councillors nationally.

My reasons for leaving the National Labour Party are in the photos below. I still fully support the local Labour group and Cllr Beccy Cooper #VoteLabour as candidate for Worthing West MP. I would have supported Carl Walker had he been chosen for EWAS. Google doc here: docs.google.com/document/u/4/d…

Astonishing how many intellectuals are willing to insult their own intelligence by repeating the preposterous idea that some parts of the world have a more 'complex' history than others
