Anti-war forces in the United States and across the world may have different analyses of Russia, Ukraine, and this tragic war, but we can unite around one thing: there is no road to peace if US government policy remains to obstruct negotiations and send endless weapons into the war zone.

Why is it a war zone?

It's part of an attempt to try and shift the blame for the war from Russia to America.

That’s quite the unintentional self-own from Jez there. Lula scraped a win against an utterly loathed and cack-handed right-winger, and he did so by reaching out.

When Jez was in a similar situation against May, the best he could do was a less bad than expected 2nd place. When he ran entirely on his coalition of trade unions and social movements he handed Johnson a massive majority.

So yeah, he might want to wind his neck in there and stop trying to bask in someone else’s glory for something he couldn’t pull off himself.

Nah Starmer shafted him remember.

A shattering blow to the Labour movement in this country. They may as well not bother turning up at the next election

It’s the Greens I feel sorry for.

In other news Mike Sivier has to pay £500,000 to Racel Riley

£50k.

That's certainly the figure report by LBC and other media...I expect they've got it wrong.

Look I got the sum of money wrong. I misread the amount and added an extra zero by mistake.

I wish the people paying my pension were that way inclined...

I should also point out that Matt Zarb-Cousin once described the Greens as "bottom-feeding small timers" who were "not interested in winning or achieving anything". I suppose that will go down well at the Green Party conference.

Mattie, having failed to fuck up the Labour Party, is going to try and fuck up the Greens.

He went on to not say (but anyone reading between the lines could conclude): “I, having previously enjoyed considerably more limelight under the last Labour leader, have decided that as I am now widely derided as a crank - for my support for aggressive dictators such as Putin - I will instead shift my allegiances to a smaller group I previously vilified. In doing so, I’ll make myself a bigger, noisier fish in a smaller pond, get more attention, and thus perpetuate my sense of self-importance, which is ultimately the most critical issue here rather than, say, consistency or moral integrity. Thank you.”

I suppose to fit in to the Greens, Matt will become a full on NIMBY.

Give it ten years and some of these will be right wing Tories.
