Makerfield: Burnham victory

There is absolutely no doubt that over the last two years workers and the working class have fallen out of love with Labour. The win for Andy Burnham in Makerfield is a glimmer of hope but it must not be taken as a business as usual mandate. 1/4
It is clear that there now needs to be an orderly timetable for a leadership election and Keir Starmer must do the right thing and step down. The inevitable leadership election must be fought on real change and policies. Not personalities or better speeches. 2/4
This result does paper over the cracks that workers feel abandoned by Labour and they will continue to abandon Labour in droves if there is not a significant change in economic and political direction. Rearranging the deckchairs and incremental reforms just won’t cut it. 3/4

Yeah it's good that a guy who isn't part of The Starmerism Disaster beat the challenge of a hard right party that got 15,000 votes and an extremist, far right, aggressively racist, party who got 3000 votes from more or less a standing start.

Eighteen Thousand Far Right votes
And maybe for once it's "good" that the media simplification narrative will immediately dub this victory "huge", "resounding", "enormous". But 18000 people voted for a mixture of Thatcherism, Powellism and Mosleyism. And that is a big number. And a very bad number.
and it matters now whether there's going to be that fabled "orderly transition" that would empower Burnham or a messy leadership squabble and enervating 2nd campaign in which the media and The City bombard the public with messages about the "risk" of any deviation from Starmerism

there are a few potential answers to the question of "what is to be done" that im going to share my thoughts on here 🧵
there is, firstly, the "classical" option. classical because it is the social-revolution that historical radical feminism, beginning from the mid second wave, advocated for. the means of this option consist of consciousness-raising, targeted justice (whether this be ...
'vigilante', in the style of Marianne Bachmeier, or in the style of Dworkin's appeals to the male state concerning pornography), the constitution of women's independence (for example, financial, as with Wages for Housework), etc. it has been argued that this activity ...

im going to use this post to share my thoughts in a 🧵 on the question of males and of "nature vs nurture". i may ramble and may repost this if i feel like altering or reformatting it. all preliminary
so, whats central here is the concept of interpellation from the structuralists. the constitution of the male subjectivity is irreducible to the simplistic conception of "socialization" or "nurturing" so common in the radical feminist mind. ...
the story goes that males are the way they are simply because that is "how they were raised"; "how they were socialized". the catch-all idea of personal, external teachings and imposed expectations is used to present a faux-structural analysis that opens an easy doorway into ...

FT: "That said, “the weakness in consumption is more structural”, Logan Wright added."

He's right. Every month there are incremental explanations as to why consumption was weak "last month", but the problem is not temporary. It is structural.

The property sector can stabilize, the Iran war can end, the weather can get better, a new toy fad can emerge, Beijing can launch another consumption program, but while these may all cause temporary increases in consumption, overall consumption will continue to struggle.
3/8
The reason, as I've argued for years, is that China's low consumption is not an accident or an oversight. It is fundamental to the way the economy works. It is China's low household share of GDP that drives both its low consumption share and the "competitiveness" of...

Tulsi Gabbard just released four PDFs that, she says, show that Fauci funded the very research that created COVID-19.

I fed Claude the four PDFs. 🧵 It uncovered some never-yet-revealed blockbusters.

(The following is all Claude—I am just quoting it.)

1. The IC Inspector General Filed a Classified Whistleblower Complaint Alleging Intelligence Contradicted Fauci's Testimony — and the DNI's Office Effectively Buried It.
DNI General Counsel Chris Fonzone emailed DNI Avril Haines on August 19, 2021, describing a whistleblower complaint alleging that classified intelligence reporting contradicted Fauci's sworn testimony to Congress that NIH never funded gain-of-function research at WIV. Rather than refer it to the HHS Inspector General for independent investigation, Fonzone recommended referring it to HHS Secretary Becerra — Fauci's own boss — noting that Becerra had told Haines it was "something they've considered" and that Fauci had a "point he's repeated." The draft letter was revised to route the complaint to Becerra instead of the HHS IG. This is a previously classified paper trail showing the Biden-era DNI's office treating a formal whistleblower complaint about potential perjury as essentially a bureaucratic matter to be absorbed by the accused's own department.
2. FBI Likely Gave False Information to Congress About a Key COVID-Origins Interview.
In a classified September 2024 readout of an HPSCI briefing, the ODNI lead briefer flagged that when Rep. Wenstrup asked the FBI briefer point-blank whether they had interviewed a specific individual about COVID origins, the FBI rep said yes, and that the information informed FBI's assessment. The ODNI briefer's internal email states bluntly that the IC's own records show this individual was not interviewed by FBI until late June 2021 — three months after FBI made its origins call — and that at the interview the individual "said nothing about COVID origins." The briefer's conclusion: "FBI has either been withholding information from the rest of the IC, or they provided inaccurate information on the record." The FBI briefer did not respond to his follow-up request.
3. Classified Readout of Fauci's CIA Briefing Shows He Steered the IC Toward Natural-Origin Scientists.
On June 4, 2021, CIA's Weapons and Counterproliferation Mission Center (WCPMC) briefed Fauci on classified COVID-origins intelligence from the President's Daily Brief. The previously classified readout shows that Fauci directed CIA to connect with specific scientists — described as individuals who "have advocated for features of the virus that they judge to be consistent with a natural origin." He was being briefed on the IC's classified analysis while simultaneously recommending that the IC consult experts who supported his preferred conclusion. The readout also notes he "did not appear to be aware" of certain specifics about WIV's pangolin research that CIA had uncovered.
