And Labour were a working class predominately party but they are not now. So this is a concept of the 80’s you’re talking about. Not my lifetime. That’s why I added modern left wing populism. Comparing to Cuomo isn’t going to add much since he’s a 90’s style New Yorker with various scandals and a history of achieving little. He was the perfect candidate for a more fringe type candidate to beat at this moment in time. More donors is a silly metric. Anybody representing socialism will get more donors as there is an ideology behind it tons of people follow. That’s like someone appealing to evangelicals. This is nothing to do with working class I would imagine most donors were the group I’m talking about anyway. Walking out among ordinary people? Come on now. This is like a royal saying oh you actually interact with the commoners? You take that ghastly tube to work? This is very normal and standard. Is this really your idea of working class relatability? You have to be kidding me here. Not really seeing the relevance to working class on the Israel questions. It’s a standard New York obsession thing because of the big Jewish population. Yeah of course truck drivers are included but somebody being a part-time barista while they’re at college is probably not most of the time. I think a lot of people cosplay as working class so much they forget what it is. They forget they’re not it. Then they ignore the actual working class and think the issues they’re interested in are working class issues. That’s how the this disconnect exists particularly in left wing spaces and college/uni spaces. Better information environments? Seems a bit of a reach. Everyone has access to the same info. Most people hadn’t heard of him because he’s new and they don’t follow politics and don’t really give a damn. It’s really that simple. Way to miss the point completely.

Not saying that but the higher the bracket the more his support went up And yeah there are various factors but that’s just a consistent observation over a period of time in a few countries. It’s like there is big gap between what a movement thinks it is from what it actually is. What they think they’re representing and what they’re actually representing are often two different things. Not saying poor people’s opinions matter more but a working class type movement without the working class is not the most authentic image. I always heard left wing populism was bottom up yet everything I’ve ever seen in my lifetime has never shown that to be the case

Much more respectable

Fred less than 7k away from the top 3. Might have a chance at top 5 this week

The prosecution have dropped numerous charges. Maybe trying to simplify things for the jury to get a conviction but theyve made a mess of a lot this whole trial.

What’s interesting is how modern left wing populism tends to be an upper middle classy elitist type thing and right wing populism now tends to be more a working class type thing. I saw this tweet and it kind of reflects that as well.

So the New York Times and CNN are reporting that US intelligence reports the bunker busting bombs didn’t destroy Iran’s nuclear facility at all. Just sealed off the entrances. They’re estimating it may have delayed their nuclear program by a few months but the underground facility is largely in tact and was unscathed. ReutersEarly US assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not dest...An early intelligence assessment indicated that the U.S. military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of Tehran's nuclear program and like... So looking like mission somewhat unsuccessful

So after 5 and a half weeks the prosecution finished their side. The defence case which was originally expected to last weeks took 23 minutes. Offering no rebuttal at all. Jury get a day off tomorrow before closing arguments on Thursday then we will get a verdict.

The French federation ruled losing to Man Utd brought ligue 1 into disrepute and Lyon have been relegated

Seems Labour are losing the plot over this issue. Talk of calling an election and getting a new leader

With Sabrina’s new album coming and tons of her songs from her last there what’s the record for most songs for one artist to have in the end of year 100?

Conte has no room for sentiment he’ll put Lukaku on the bench

Due to the rebellion Tory votes would be needed for it to pass. While it’s something you think they’d support Kemi is deciding to add a lot of strings which Starmer could never agree to. So becoming a big mess for him.

The captain was already shown in season 1 so they weren’t hiding he was a bad guy but some people just forgot. The final series comes this week I’m looking forward to seeing how it played out

Man Utd sold him to Forest two years ago for £15million

Don’t rule out Fred it’s still doing pretty well and growing

I was wondering how Starmer would respond and I give him credit he’s gone all in. Personally I can’t see these MP’s backing down so it’s an odd one to be so bold on The number has gone up Tough situation for Starmer. Will all 127 lose the whip? Or does that only happen when it’s a small number 🤷‍♂️

Sabrina still dropping a lot 92k down from last week but Dior not gaining that much just 30k up.

If you believe the Amazon charts then Dior is now #2 on that

He could just pick up the phone to Netanyahu if it wasn’t performative

PSG vs Inter Miami in the next round. If Messi pulls this off…..

The prosecution last day today and they spent most of it showing the jury freak off videos. The defense case was expected to last two weeks then 10 days then a week and now they’re saying they won’t call any witnesses at all and it’ll take just one day. So this case should be over by Thursday but it could take the jury a good few days to decide verdicts
