Right so, this is late as yesterday was a shitshow tbqhwy, but as promised -

Keith Starmer is a racist: the receipts edition. So first off, we have his handling of the Labour leaks. He had the report and sat on it, which is why it was leaked in 1st place to force his hand. Despite overwhelming anti-black racism revealed - as well as sitting on AS complaints - not one word of solidarity was uttered.

A thread of articles Decided no charges should be brought against the officer who assaulted Ian Tomlinson, who later died.

So, today is a new day and unfortunately we've woken up to a Johnson government and a huge blow to the Labour movement. What happened and where do we go from here?

This is my northern, working class perspective. So i said last night that the move to a PV forced by the centrists fucked it. I maintain that view. It wasn't the policies or the left direction the party had moved in. The policies were popular. The problem was Brexit and the perception we no longer respected the '16 ref.
