We're not English, we are Northern.

The North is an economically, culturally and historically distinct nation. Geordies, Scousers, and Mancs have far more in common with each other than the Westminster elite. And Boris Johnson has revealed the contempt with which they hold us So let us say tara to The South.

In The Northern Republic, we will rid our fine universities of this toxic environment. No Northerner will be made to feel embarrassed about their history or class background. Our culture is a proud culture, kind, generous, and welcoming. theguardian.com/education/2020…

So in a few years time we're supposed to just watch this exact same horror story recast with Keir Starmer and act surprised?

“Centrism” is neither a virtue nor an act of pragmatism. It’s a position adopted by those who are comfortable enough w/n the status quo that their primary concern is to never rock the boat, even if that means searching for middle ground b/w a fascist coup & a foundering democracy

A bee-killing pesticide so poisonous it is banned by the EU may be used on sugar beet in England the Gov’t has announced. A third of UK bee population is thought to have vanished in a decade, yet up to three-quarters of crop species are pollinated by bees independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

If you know, you know.

If I were a country of under 400 million people, I would not start a Cold War with a country that has 3x more people, and that makes all my stuff. I'd focus instead on preventing ecological collapse, ending poverty, and preventing the global 1% from screwing the rest.

Remember: 1. Global crop failures by 2°C. 2. Most humans dead by 4°C. 3. Earth uninhabitable by 6°C. 4. We risk 2°C by 2035. 5. We risk 4°C by 2065. 6. We risk 6°C by 2095. One tweet is worth a million newspaper front pages.

*NEW: JLP on why people voted the way they did, for Channel 4 News* The top reason given for not voting Labour on Thursday was Keir Starmer’s leadership. This was followed by not agreeing with Labour’s policies, or worrying that they did not have any at all. (1/9)
