Old Greens, meet your new masters and future. This response to Caroline Lucas says everything about where the party is going
There are many, many reasons why Zack Polanski’s *share early, share often* social media policy is incredibly stupid, but this is just the latest. (H/T @adamlangleben.bsky.social)

Paul Holden’s The Fraud poses as fearless investigation In truth, it is denial: distortion, omission and conspiracy-minded wish-thinking aimed at a left still unwilling to face the Corbyn years, writes Adam Langleben, Executive Director of Progressive Britain

Unite the Union not being very subtle... translation: a former employee is criminally f*cked. So much more to say on this bloke when this all comes out.
I just saw the news about Agnes Slocombe passing. Serving West Hendon alongside Agnes was a tremendous honour. She taught me what proper public service looked like. A passionate and practicing Christian, she turned her values into action with every act. A powerhouse and trailblazer. Very very sad.
"British Stalinism – unlike some of its global south and European counterparts – has a unique quality, as demonstrated by the Corbyn fiasco in 2019: it invariably destroys anything it gains control of." 👏 htsf.substack.com/p/will-brita....
Will Britain's new left party be crazed or boring? And who gets to rig the votes?

Make no mistake. This defection is a power play to be the heir apparent to Corbyn, and trying to force Corbyn to play along because JC hates conflict, but can never make a decision.
Adam Langleben@adamlangleben.bsky.social · last yr.The far left internal battles have come, gone and come again. But always the same since 2015. On the hard left, it's the battle of who speaks for JC. Because he isn't the sharpest tool. If JC is the glue, then whoever controls him, controls the left. Bouncing him into co-leading is a power play.

“We have done it all, from working in bars to working for fucking Zionists." Bobby Vylan meant Jews but knows its racist, so switched a word to think he's being smart.
Thrilled that my former West Hendon ward councillor colleague Agnes Slocombe has been made an MBE. First Black Woman Mayor of Barnet. A trailblazer. And a constant source of wisdom.

Any deal that reduces red tape and makes people feel that little bit better off is a better deal than we have now. The Prime Minister is right to go for a closer relationship with the EU. This government will be judged in the end on living standards, and improving this must be the top priority.
Worthwhile day on the doorsteps in my home patch of Barnet yesterday. Barnet is London's bellweather borough on the country and Whetstone is Barnet's Pennsylvania. Very important win with one eye on the London elections next year. Whetstone used to be the heart of a super safe Tory ward. No longer!

Results so far just reconfirmed 2024 GE result. No such thing as a safe seat for any party. We have to work for every vote, everywhere. The public are (rightly) ery impatient. But can you read much into the results that we didn't already know? I don't think so.
