Corbyn was fighting a lone fight, with members of his own side feeding lies and info to "the enemy". The context for Polanski is very different, mainly because he is not leading a party that could form a government (yet). Yes, Polanski is a better performer, but that pressure will ramp up.

We could go on with that list...

"poor media management"? You mean the inability to assuage the horde of heavily armed, shit-flinging, immoral right-wing zombies that constitute, without exception, the british media? That failure?

Jeremy Corbyn • @jeremycorbyn • 1d $ ... We cannot let Keir Starmer drag this country into another illegal war. That's why I tabled a Bill to require Parliamentary approval for the foreign use of British bases. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to fulfill the promise he made in 2020 and pass this legalisation, now.

They were terrified of this guy because of the social forces he unlocked, quite accidentally. But he’s a letter-writing, petition collecting kind of politician, he thinks he’s there to enable others. A proper populist monster would lay waste to the British political landscape.

Various parties claim to be the party of the NHS. It’s time for the Greens to claim that title- and if they do, their support will sky-rocket 💙

Can someone remind me again how many pay rises MPs have had in the past 15 years? 12? 13? Meanwhile, look at this (from the Nuffield Trust: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/ho...)

The Proceeds of Crime. Surely not? Multi-billion-pound 'highly regulated' utilities with highly paid CEOs, making money by systematically breaking the law? You might quite reasonably be thinking, no , you must be wrong! 'Ok...

'The government is trying to pretend that Channel 4's Dirty Business didn't happen, and we need your help to make sure it can't forget because things are not getting better, they are getting worse.'

This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state we’re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

“If our health and life expectancy is in decline, it’s about as clear a sign as you can get that our society is in decline.” In the 1980s, Marmot studied the Soviet bloc and saw illness increase. That’s one way you could tell they were on the verge of collapse.

Damning verdict on social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning' Baroness Louise Casey has been tasked with leading an independent probe into social care, to pave the way for the 'National Care Service' that Labour promised in its manifesto

Damning verdict on England social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning'.

22 major reviews over 3 decades. Govts do nothing.

No integrated healthcare system. Social care privatised. Corporations profiteering. Public money buys less. Govt handing the NHS to them as well

End privatisation.

Labour, it's time to cut the corporate jargon and it’s time we realised that “writing letters” isn’t working.

We need water nationalisation. We need it now.

Numerous studies link fracking with water contamination - from arsenic in groundwater to cancer-causing benzene in waterways. A review of peer-reviewed research by doctors in the US raises huge concerns about the damage fracking does to water security. (From p86):

Albanese supports the Israeli-US illegal attacks on Iran. Wong says it's up to Israel & the US to decide if the attacks were legal.

So our AUS Govt no longer supports national sovereignty, human rights, international law or the int'l rules-based system?! Israel and the USA can do whatever?! #auspol

Experts David Walsh and Gerry McCartney point out how Tory and Lib Dem policies effectively killed ordinary Britons. According to their modelling, those service cuts, benefit caps and welfare freezes put an end to the lives of 345,000 British people. And it left the UK disastrously placed for Covid.

The Zionist Dystopia is very real.

How the right-wing British press became Trump’s trumpet Churchill would be appalled by the kinds of things Donald Trump says and does. But Fleet Street is happy to ignore history for the sake of some political point-scoring, writes Alan Rusbridger

“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”

And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

In Gaza, Israel and Biden normalized war crimes beyond anything we have seen before.

And now, Israel and Trump are using that model against Iranian civilians.

‘Illegitimacy tax’: new UK border rules for dual nationals throwing lives into chaos Two women who have lived almost all their lives in UK, but whose British fathers were not married, tell how they are having to battle for British citizenship

Not really about the new border rules, more about how irrationally the UK handles questions of nationality and how pig-headed the Home Office can be. Very distressing cases for the victims.

Israel is demolishing Lebanon

Starting to think the Iran stuff was actually purposefully a distraction for this because they know how brutally unpopular Gaza has been, Because the news is covered up in Iran but there is zero coverage of this. It’s so fucking bad yall it’s Gaza 2.

BP’s new boss will take home at least £11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor Meg O’Neill will be first woman to serve as CEO of 117-year-oil firm when joining from Woodside Energy in April

BP’s new CEO to take home £11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor.

Daily pay > annual median pay of UK employee.

CEO pay at one company is a benchmark for another. Others will want more.

Govts, BOE, CBI and other neoliberals talk about wage inflation, but silence on fat-cattery.

Britain could join US-Israel war on Iran, says David Lammy BRITAIN could join in the US-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran, David Lammy has said.

"Britain should stop appeasing Trump & start opposing his gangster warmongering. And perhaps government ministers could learn from history. Lammy might then realise Cyprus is not a NATO member & that many Cypriots resent British military bases in their country." www.thenational.scot/news/2591364...

"Too many leftists have let warmongers of Iranian descent bully them into silence on this front, in exactly the same way they let western Jews bully into silence about Palestine for decades...leads them to espouse exact same foreign policy positions as the CIA & the US State Department" #ZioDystopia
