Anyone insisting the welfare state must be cut back to fund defense is lying to you. The anti-welfare lobby uses this to argue against wealth redistribution. The campist lobby uses it to argue against having the means to defend ourselves and our allies. Neither do so in good faith.

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.
Politico@politico.com · 2d agoMichigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.
Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

the Scottish Labour leadership contest coming down to a choice between two men because the woman who put herself forward wasn't sufficiently transphobic feels completely ridiculous yet entirely predictable

A man who made a Nazi salute at a far-right anti-immigration rally purporting to "protect women and children" is a serial stalker and violent domestic abuser. Credit to the Daily Record and others in Scottish news media for continuing to cover these issues. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

‘NATO, in essence, is engaged in a war with Russia through a proxy and is arming that proxy.’ Not Diane Abbott, but Sergei Lavrov. An easy mistake to make.

Steve, a plumber from Ashford who was rioting outside the hotels last summer, is not more powerful than elected politicians doing apologia for Russia's fascist regime. Criticising the former but not the latter on the grounds of "power" is deeply dishonest.
Noun Verber 🏴🇺🇦🇵🇸@froblivion.bsky.social · 4d agoOne, it's an objectively incorrect thing to say about an elected member of parliament. Secondly, we should not tolerate shitty positions from anyone, regardless of their "power"! They never want to apply this same logic to the fash weirdos who've been rioting recently.
One thing that often comes up when criticising Corbyn, Sultana, or Abbott for their pro-Putin tendencies, is that defenders will often shoot back with the vague assertion that such criticism is unfair because these people are "powerless". It's a really bizarre argument.
In his glee to paint all Ukrainians as goose-stepping Nazis, Jamieson ends up regurgitating Loomer's white nationalist propaganda about the country verbatim. Regardless of what Loomer and Jamieson say, Ukraine is not and has never been a white Christian monoculture! youtu.be/SkPOZ0W3Wsg?...

We've made The National. David Jamieson of Conter is an infamous Ukrainophobe. The National giving him regular column inches to rant about warmongering Ukronazis does serious reputational damage to the paper. Ukraine did not start this war with Russia, and is not behaving aggressively towards Iran

like i get it, you think you're opposing nationalism, but surely one thing we've learned since 2014 is that actually existing unionism is right-wing and getting more right wing. it's simply not sustainable to be a left-wing unionist as there is no outlet for you
idk man, i feel like it would be far less likely we have sitting politicians hanging about with actual neo-Nazis if a huge chunk of Scottish civil society hadn't decided that remaining British was in and of itself a noble cause regardless of who that might enable
