"After generations of Davos-style oligarch worship, there are damned few politicians who dare to unfurl a sail and aim the tiller for a world that works for working people.
But every time some politician does, that sail bellies out with the wind with an audible snap [...] Any ship rigged for a better future is propelled by a wind that is a fiercer gale than any we've seen for generations." - @pluralistic

"we can't rely on our leaders to be perfect – or even pretty good. The only reliable way to get the leadership we deserve is to force our leaders to follow us, by organizing in political blocs that mete out severe punishments when they betray us.Martin Pigeon (Mamot - Le Mastodon de La Quadrature du Net)
The push into online services across state depts. may decrease costs, and may even expand scope in some instances, but for those who either have difficulty with on-line interactions or have rubbish broadband connections (or none at all), the services are becoming harder to access, despite them being the key group that needs them.
A presumption that an online solution expanded accessibility is naive & misunderstands many people's position & needs.

The key message in the Gorton & Denton by-election will likely be its either us or Reform... but some might think that as Labour has approached Reform on some policies, the Greens might have a better pitch on the logic.
If so, will we see this as the first step of the next stage of the Green Party of England & Wales shift into a major party at Westminster?
If the vote is 'a pox on both their houses', then anyone from the Centre leftwards may well vote Green, this time, at least?

@wdlindsy I wanted to say "thank you" for all your efforts to consume and pass along the news and commentary relevant to our current political moment. You do a great job!
If it weren't for you (and @heidilifeldman and @KimPerales and @Nonilex...), the Fediverse would be a much less informed and aware community.
You all are beacons of light and truth, and much appreciated!
The new Emma Monk blog explores the issue of the lack of vetting in the Metropolitan Police (with some stark data), the Q. of the role of 'diversity hires' & how this has all be presented in the Right wing press.
As she concludes, these papers 'aren’t informing the public. They’re manufacturing a worldview'!

"We use words like “police state.” Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."
