Alan Stewart Carries A New World Here In His Heart
@LaikaAlan
Ex-goth, socialist, man about town. Into Memorial Device before Mary Hannah joined. Communist family history stuff. Resist moral panics. #MDANT. #JoinAUnion
I won’t be voting labour anymore because we don’t share the same views on anything and they think I’m a cunt all of a sudden. I am happy to consider voting for people I do share views with and who don’t think that. I don’t see how that is me thats supposedly helping reform?
Me and my brother very proud to have Clement Attlee’s autograph. Uncharacteristically amongst those of the major figures of British communism. Grandad must’ve caught him in an unguarded moment.
#OTD 1945. Election Landslide. Clement Attlee becomes first PM to lead a majority Labour government. Winning a 146 seat majority, he says "It will give heart to all those all the world over who believe in freedom, democracy and social justice" A thread 80 years on👇🏼

'Something just fell off my shoulders. There was this sense that I'm the right guy in the right job at the right time.' @DavidLammy opens up to James O'Brien about having imposter syndrome at every stage of his life, until he became Foreign Secretary.
Dear Wes Streeting… What really undermines our movement is a Labour government that turns its back on workers and lashes out at unions instead of listening to them. This is a defining moment. Stop attacking those who keep our public services running.
Dear resident doctors…
This is absolutely what we should be doing.
The whole MPs being victims thing needs to stop. Regardless of party. I’m sure Michael Rosen wasn’t aware of that, and if he was - he wouldn’t have done it. You’re paid 100k a year, there are only 650 of you. Please at least try and be serious legislators.

I’ve joined so many political parties in the last couple of days.
It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.
We’re now into a second summer where violent disorder by racists is being glossed over and excused whilst peaceful protests are stigmatised and criminalised.
“Pack it in. You’re so performative. Wearing knitwear. Listening to vinyl. Reading a book. Who are you trying to impress?” My teenage son’s just walked in the room and is not impressed.
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn
Insiders say govt's worst decisions have followed the same path: - Treasury officials say they need to make a cut - Reeves is persuaded - McSweeney says it would work politically - Decision has such a head of steam by the time it's presented to Starmer that it's a fait accompli
I always wonder who the actual intended audience for this kind of performatively wild cruelty is: people who are actually far gone enough to like it, or people who'll feel faintly repulsed but be impressed at the party proving its seriousness by doing a bit of racialised sadism
We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.
Whilst the Daily Express front pages the human catastrophe in Gaza, our Prime Minister writes in the Sun about how he will stop refugees working for Deliveroo...
Completely failed the ‘do not burst into tears at Levi Stubbs’ Tears’ challenge. As normal.
This is why you should be supporting Zack. If you join the Greens before 31 July, you can vote in the leadership contest.
⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
are novels written by their narrators or by the person who wrote the book? it is impossible to say and no one really knows
I’m all for it when pretend media left liberals like James O’Brien are ripped apart by the leopards they’ve been feeding for years. Fuck him.
