The idea that “Farage is an charlatan and Reform are all
Charlatans” is a strategy that augmented with simple truth telling and fact checking (no doubt important of course)will be a strategy to defeat him/them is way past its sell by date. We need to build not only across parties but in communities.

The way mainstream conservative politics has surrendered its identity to echo the far right is deeply disturbing for democracy. What does mainstream conservatism look like now? How easy the shift to echo or join the far right seems!Like Labour has their place in the mainstream gone or it temporary?

This is really worth a read @bellacaledonia.bsky.social offering not only nuance but a wider historical analysis in which to examine the response to Sundays events at Ibrox!

Indeed. The meaning needs to be clear.

TUC definition of the Far Right is most helpful:

“if there is one thing that defines the far right, it is the shared emphasis on racial/ethnic and cultural superiority, rooted in the myth of natural inequalities and nostalgia for an imagined past”

Without a doubt! Incredible result. Great resilience. Miracle indeed!

Definitely a big part of the team today but we have been poor all season that’s my general point.

SUTR Scotland are appalled to hear of the horrific attack on Al-Farooq Education and Community Centre last night, and we send our full solidarity to the Al-Farooq community and to the women and children who were inside breaking their fast when the attack happened.

Women in Scotland: the gendered impact of care on financial stability and well-being | IPPR It is not just anecdata — it goes far beyond Instagram reels and mommy blogs. The evidence is everywhere. Women are much likelier than men to engage in car

👱🏿‍♀️On the occasion of International Women's Day, we revisit this old blog by @sukhadatatke.bsky.social.

Glad Celtic won of course but the bigger issues is these are two terrible Celtic and Rangers teams!
Can’t remember when we and Rangers were so bad at the same time, and I’ve been going to watch Celtic for 55 years (difference being now I can use my bus pass to go!)Martin O’Neil for the double?

Magic Celtic! ✊🍀

VAR calls the Celtic goal offside! I’m too old for this stress!

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Rangers v Celtic today at Ibrox. Hard to explain what this game feels like! Has to be experienced in person tbh to have any sense of the scale of emotional elasticity. A loss probably doesn’t have an English word to explain the misery German’s “weltschmerz”=world pain might get close!Mon the Hoops🍀✊

It really is “socialism or barbarism” now! We either rediscover the common good and redistribute wealth at local,national and global level or succumb to economic greed masquerading as democratic politics. The intellectual,moral,and character inadequacies of so many “leaders” sadly seem endemic now!

Attacking water supplies is a profoundly evil thing to do, whoever your opponent is.

Only the “self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority in the interests of the immense majority”can change the problems we face! However it proceeds,this remains the only way!-the redistribution and control of wealth by the majority is the only path to a sane sustainable life for all

Was recommending “Church and Revolution: Continuing the Conversation between Christianity and Marxism” recently by @leedshewitt.bsky.social well worth a read for anyone interested in this topic!
