Reckon Labour will be behind in the polls within six months and a Tory/Reform reallignment will sweep the next election. Starmer's miserablist authoritarianism, with no solutions but plenty of scapegoating, will lay the ground for the most right-wing govt this country's ever had.

Shameful from the Fabian Society, even by their history and standards. Why is a socialist society affiliated to the Labour Party taking money from rogue bosses?

It's absolutely out in the open that Israel Defence Forces (IDF) run a grotesque torture camp (Sde Teiman),that the IDF is killing 10ks civilians, attacking hospitals, aid convoys, water reservoirs. Those calling limits on UK arms sales "shameful" are an extremist minority.

The SNP is paying lip service to the climate emergency, whilst funding handouts to big business. With global temperatures rising, Scotland must be a climate leader but SNP have chosen to slash spending on climate action and increase costs for commuters. greens.scot/news/snp-cuts-…

Keir Starmer's political director Luke Sullivan joins Headland to "help clients to better understand and engage with the new government as it strengthens its partnership with business" Who are those clients? Just Eat, Anglian Water, lobby group CityUk ... headlandconsultancy.com/news/prime-min…

The Scottish Government squandering the money it got from the Scotwind auctions on day to day spending is economic illiteracy. That money should have been investment capital paying us an annual return from owning wind farms. Instead we’re wasting it staving off cuts.

Labour are considering removing the single person council tax discount, yet they're committed to keeping corporation tax low

This is disgraceful and a betrayal of promises to the Scottish public by the SNP. Making sure no child goes hungry should be a country's first priority. Universal free school meals are a no-brainer.

Fantastic improvement but I’m remain cautious with the recent news. Can we trust the SNP to deliver on this? We deserve to live in dignity not priced out of our local areas. Let’s keep an eye as it develops.

ScotGov has quite explicitly dropped a Scotland-specific conversion therapy ban - relying on Westminster will only cause further delays and risk weakening the ban. They've had years to act and have chosen not to. I really hope OFI aren't going the way of LGBT Labour...

🇫🇷 After left-wing NFP won legislative elections in France, Presidential Macron has snubbed NFP's PM nominee and appointed right-winger Michel Barnier. Barnier's party (LR) came 4th in the election, with only 39 seats (7%). NFP came first with 180 seats (31%). (Via BBC)

.The New Statesman not satisfied by relationship w/arms manufacturer BAE Systems - they're now hosting an event at the Labour Party conference sponsored by a key suppliers of weapons to Israel, in the middle of a genocide. Report by Sam Bright novaramedia.com/2024/09/05/key…

Less than a week on and we're seeing the cost of the SNP's attempt to win the middle and upper class. Swingeing budget cuts, progressive policies abandoned, big businesses and the rich protected. If they choose small-c conservatism, they must be punished at the ballot box.

An overwhelming majority, left-wing MPs ousted, and even still Labour are more interested in scrubbing any trace of socialism from the party and its politicians. Anyone still holding out hope that the left can win Labour back - look no further 👇

Breaking a promise to the starving school kids of Scotland is unforgivable.

Centrism prefers the far right to the left. I don't know how much more evidence some people need.

Macron won the support of the French far right to make Barnier - who openly supports ending all immigration - prime minister. That was in order to block the left, who came top in the election. It’s so called “centrists” who will pave the way for fascism. You have been warned!

So it sounds like Reeves wanted to make the head of Peter Mandelson's lobbying firm Global Counsel a peer in order to make him investment minister - but he turned it down Global Counsel has represented Palantir, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Nestle, Drax, OpenAI and more

Who shot her?
