Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill.

Are we outraged, yes. Are we surprised?

Clive Lewis, the Norwich South MP, told the Guardian he would vote for the bill come what may: “I’m hoping the government and the climate and nature bill sponsors can come to an agreement this will be good for Labour at a time when many people feel like we are backtracking on our climate and nature commitments."

So many good arguments in favour of work from home. I hadn't even thought about the environmental benefit, but there's another one.

IMO the Labour government should tell the tabloid press to naff off. It is supposed to be a labour-focused party after all.

"My first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the workings of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby."

Policy idea for a left wing party.

They have whatever response they have to any announcement or policies from the right wing opposition, but then they also release a statement from their "disabled" policy unit who are very clever autistic people who use evidence to just burn holes in the bullshit that these bastards say which provides so much ammunition for comedians and newspapers.

I hear that #Labour ministers are very concerned about the new Syrian regime's guaranteeing the rights of minorities.

Perhaps #Starmer should have a word with Wesley #Streeting while he's at it. And maybe have a good chat with himself about cosying up to the Saudi regime?

But I forget, it has to be the right kind of minorities, or something.

“As a former director of the Crown Prosecution Service, Keir Starmer should know that a spent conviction provides the opportunity for people to rehabilitate.
“It’s clear his decision to remove Louise Haigh from the Cabinet and replace her with someone on the Labour right is not about her previous offence. It’s a brazen manoeuvre to stifle pro-union voices within government.”

Starmer doing everything to ensure the Tories and/or Reform get in as he abandons the core Labour vote to chase bigoty

And none of us can stop him, none of us will persuade the greater public that attacking the Other is wrong, because Bigots would DIE for their Bigotry and they hate us for being better people.

The US election is far from the first right wig wing recently, but it's one we really need to understand with brutal honesty.

Inflation has been hurting working people and scared many working class and middle class Americans. The situation is similar in Europe, where the left has lost election after election.

In the 80s socialism was a strong current in European politics. And in the USA, unions could look for protection from the democrats.

What has happened is a neo-liberal orthodoxy has taken over most leftist parties and socialist parties in Europe. The left used to be a voice for anti-capitalism, against neoliberalism, and a voice for protecting working class jobs and social benefits.

As 'socialist' parties, the Labour party and Democrats have abandoned this (in as much as they ever followed it) the predominant orthodoxy has been liberal economics with minimum protection for workers. Where parties were against NAFTA or trade liberalisation now these parties are the most enthusiastic neoliberals.

So is it surprising that workers across Europe and North America have abandoned parties that previously claimed to represent their views.

And is it surprising that the right has seen the opportunity and stolen the clothes of the left. And combined anti-neoliberal rhetoric with ethnonationalism, and managed to attract sections of the working and middle classes that normally are concerned with economic justice. People just don't trust the US Democrats, UK Labour or socialist parties on the European mainland any more.
