We, who long for a better life, now need to understand what has been stolen again from us, & where we actually are.

Far, far too many people still secretly hope for the Labour Party to rise again, or even more bizarrely, for a "progressive alliance" - whatever the fuck that is.
Reality needs to bite. Because the vast majority of us have done sweet fuck all in the last two years to change the terms of trade, we need to face the fact of another two terms of Tory government.

Because that is the reality, not the myth that most of us nurture.
If we want #Socialism , the mighty oak #Socialism , with #SHADEFORALL , we are going to have to grow it from the acorns that the bravest and best amongst us HAVE ALREADY created. There IS no messiah, no magic leader - that is a wastrel myth.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻👍🏻❤️
WE ARE THE LEADERS NOW.

You want somebody do do something about food banks? 🤔

Look in the fucking mirror.

You want somebody to do something about homelessness??? 🤔

Look in the fucking mirror.

You want poverty to end??? 🤔

#Lookinthemirror #Bethechangeyouwanttosee.
So, become a #SocialistGardener !

Become the father/mother who grows the tree, so that their children, & their friends might enjoy #SHADEFORALL .

Tonight, I'm going to assemble a risotto con funghi porcini in stile giardino con la pancetta!

There has been an argument recently about how to add the liquid?

I have a simple rule: if you have to ADD liquid, your risotto is already struggling. 😊 (1)
So, a simple rule of thumb - 3 cups/ glasses of liquid per two people.

1 cup of plain almost boiling water to rehydrate the dried porcini mushrooms.

1 cup of very hot chicken stock - we always have our own chicken stock!

1 glass of Soave for the risotto ... 😉 (2)
And - 1 glass of Soave for the chef, who actually runs on Soave!!! 🥂 😂😂😂

Nota Bene - the fourth cup of liquid DOES NOT go in the risotto!!! 👨🏻‍🍳🥂

The secret of risotto is not liquid, but slow hand stirring - not even stirring as such - folding, more. (3)

Today's THE LONG READ:

Can PR save democracy?

"In the ERS’s analysis of different PR systems, the winner in every case was the minor party ..."

What was the really remarkable thing about the 2017 Election?

Was it Corbyn ? I suggest not - although he WAS clearly the catalyst ...

Was it Twitter ? Perhaps, although possibly not in the way that you imagine.

What was really, really remarkable, was the NUMBER OF ACTIVISTS.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

TWEETERS ON TWITTER.

THIS is the LESSON that is also remarkable, in that it is almost always FORGOTTEN. 😒

And it is also why the left are so crap at elections.

This was also the lesson of #BatleyandSpen

Forget it, at your peril ... 😒

FOA @ScouseSocialis2 , & anybody else: Every trade unionist, anti-cuts campaigner, community activist and all those who want to see an alternative to austerity politicians can become a TUSC candidate. But voters should know that any councillor elected under the TUSC banner will:
(1) Oppose all cuts and closures to council services, jobs, pay and conditions. We reject the claim that 'some cuts' are necessary to our services or that the Covid crisis is a reason for austerity.
(2) Support all workers' struggles against government policies making ordinary people pay for the crisis.

(3) Fight for united working class struggle against racism and all forms of oppression.

Will the left ever again espouse self determination, as they did in the days of Peter Shore, Michael Foot, and the great Tony Benn?

Or will they forever whine on, about how the neoliberal, neo-colonial, fascist EU needs to save them from themselves? (1/2)
The answer to this question is fundamental to the prospects of there ever again being a Left Government. Because, while the middle class "left" moans about this or that problem with Brexit, the working class are being killed off by the Establishment. (2/3)
Eventually, the working class will probably just ignore all elections, and that will mean Tory hegemony until the end of time. Is that what the middle class really want? Will that allow them a life of easeful comfort?
