"It suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown,
And haul the sacred emblem down."

"Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here."

● Lyrics from 'The Red Flag' (1889)

* Pelf = wealth or riches, especially when dishonestly acquired

“To paraphrase Neil Kinnock’s 1983 speech[,] under this Labour Government – I warn you not to be ordinary – I warn you not to be young – I warn you not to fall ill – I warn you not to get old.”

● Neil Findlay, former Labour MSP in a letter to Starmer, 19/3/2025

"[Five] Labour MPs [in Scotland in] a group backing the UK Government's proposed welfare cuts have been branded “frankly despicable."

"[They are] MP for Dunfermline & Dollar Graeme Downie, East Renfrewshire's Blair McDougall, Coatbridge & Bellshill's Frank McNally, Livingston's Gregor Poynton and East Kilbride & Strathaven's Joani Reid."

"The group has named itself the “Get Britain Working” group."

(One of these five Red Tories is my MP.)

Progressive socialism anyone?

"If a General Election were held tomorrow, 29% of UK [= England] voters would choose Reform [UK], 23% Labour and 21% the Tories."

"This would give Reform UK a narrow majority with 333 seats, and Labour would plummet to 88, losing 323 of their current MPs."

"That a Labour government is seemingly willing to sacrifice poor and disabled people’s benefits in order to protect the wealthy and healthy from paying a bit more tax is the kind of dystopian deal that feels at best perverse and, at worst, a betrayal."

Starmer has apparently written an op-ed in the Heil on Sunday.

"When neither the Democrats in the USA nor Labour in the UK are remotely left of centre - both being neoliberal, market fundamentalist to their core - of course, society did not reject the left. Instead, they despise those who pretend to be left-wing, sometimes using a cloak of identity politics to support that false claim."

- Richard Murphy is right on the money.
