The Labour right will celebrate this as a great moment which led them back to power, while for others it marked a factional rift that led Blair to acquiesce to neoliberalism, and a deep-seated paranoia of anyone on the left winning power in Labour again.

Asylum seeking people don’t have the freedom to work, they don’t even have the freedom to shop using cash or choose where to shop, in temp accommodation they don’t have the freedom to cook or choose their own food - honestly this headline is batshit
Sam@spinebusterkeaton.bsky.social · 2w agoThe playing of stupid games continues at pace. I can’t wait to see what the prizes will be. Good ones probably.
![Per the BBC: “ "More freedom handed to new arrivals than British citizens" reads the headline on the front page of the Daily Express.

In an exclusive for the Daily Express, leader of the Conservatives Kemi Badenoch tells the paper "more freedom [is] given to new arrivals in Britain than British citizens." She was pictured with residents of Piddington, who have voted to leave the UK in a symbolic referendum to protest the government housing migrants nearby.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dixmfqfbq7rvwwoaxbpfomce/bafkreifm2ug5usx5soj3skj2exeqs4fflk2bo7pyvui6u4jw5s2lnyfvnq)
What are these sketches and has anyone made a YouTube playlist of them yet?
John Lubbock@jwsal.bsky.social · 2w agoVery much enjoying the cultural criticism of how we are being prevented from understanding that blackface is funny by the artiste of ‘9/11 watch party’ fame.

Why is British productivity so weak? Something to enter into evidence.
Mark Carney: “I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”
Did I leave them or did they leave me?
John Lubbock@jwsal.bsky.social · 3w agoThis seems emblematic of the Toryfication of the Lib Dems as a party. With 99% of social liberals having left over austerity/tuition fees, and the Tories themselves moving right, LDs have to lean into the prejudices of suburban curtain twitchers.
The way British democracy is being bought by crypto billionaires is simply obscene - and a direct result of Labour’s unforgivable inaction

'Not long ago, Just Stop Oil activists were given long sentences for simply discussing blocking infrastructure. In contrast, the balaclava-wearing gangs now do much the same with apparent impunity. One could almost call it two-tier justice.'

We think the Supreme Court has it right: forced Christian worship in schools is wrong. Instead, school assemblies should be religiously neutral and inclusive, instead of forcing religion on children. Agree? Add your name. humanists.uk/action/keep-...

Incidents like this have happened with increasing regularity over the past couple of years, with many triggered by local misinformation about the arrival of non-white people at hotels But it has also happened elsewhere, including a church gathering in a park and a Scout trip to an activity centre
