Last Notes npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I was raised around the corner from the Forty Foot swimming place in Sandycove, County Dublin. #BrendanBehan had upped and died while I was a toddler, but the sign was unchanged. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Yes, @npub1trg…v6kh. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab A tough 5 years for Scotland's silliest clown show. Traditionally, every other year the leader of #ScottishLabour would be humiliatingly defenestrated, and replaced with someone even less competent. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab FFS! 😡 npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab the neoliberalis claim that the population expects a higher standard of living than the economy can afford. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Do you prefer dictatorship? Or absolute monsrchÿ? npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab So far, this looks like good news. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab After abandoning his plan to freeze pensioners, #Starmer's new idea is to put them to work. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #Starmer #GordonBrown #reheated npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab 1/ take a record hammering in election, 'cos you are untrustworthy and have no ideas npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #Starmer's premiership is now in its death phase. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #Cymru brings the biggest defeat of 2026: #ElunedMorgan, First Minister of Wales & leader of Welsh Labour. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Robertson out! 👏🍺🥂👏🍺🥂 ❤️ npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I don't hold with calling voters "idiots". I can't see any merit in that. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab "Let them eat cake" was then. But now its #StopTheCake. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Whoops of delight today from the opponents of the UK's so-called "#LabourParty", as #Starmer says "Im not going to walk away".👏 🥂🍺 npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Sadly, the fascists are surging in the English local elections. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I mostly agree. The Greens will still do well in London, and there is hope for some of the remaining non-London councils. Despite the #Starmtroopers' hopes, the blitz has not crushed the Greens. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab thevLabour right's strategy has been to clear the way for the far-right by smashing the left alternative. I dunno whether any of the Laboir right would put it that way, but that is the clearly signposted result of their strategy. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab The #Starmer doth speak: "If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open, and you can leave". npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Purely coincidentally,the ##MetropolitanPolice's first ever arrest for theft of a mobile phone comes on polling day, and purely coincidentally happens to be the phone of Morgan #McSweeney. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #JohnMann, Lord Walney, is the UK Government's "advisor on #antisemitism". Appointed by #BorisJohnson in 2019, he is now serving his fourth Prime Minister. He has always been an aggressively exteme opponent of supporters of Palestine, and a cheerleader for the smear campaign against #Corbyn. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #KemiBadenoch says that the #UK was built on #FossilFuels. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only #Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #YouGov's final MRP of the 2026 #Holyrood election shows the £SNP falling short of a majority, but on course for a fifth term in office. #ScottishGreens are surging, but #SLAB #ScottishLabour is in deep trouble. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Advice from Israeli dissident and anti-#Zionist #HumanRights lawyer Ben, who represents Marwan Barghouti and other Palestinian political prisoners held by genocidal apartheid Israel. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I have known for years that Muricans are barbaric people who make #tea in a microwave, and may not even own a kettle. (The latter is partly because they haven't discovered full-fat electricity, and their skimmed leccy is slow). npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab The #RoyalNavy is an expensive farce. It should be shut down. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Cartoon by the late great Michael Leunig npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab This is not an error by #ZackPolanski. It's a takedown. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #Starmer lied his way to power, with dark money. He ran a hierarchy of racism in the #LabourParty, purged Jewish members for anti-zionism, binged on freebies. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #Starmer's comments about "globalise the #intifada" don't just endorse the mendacious Israeli framing of resistance to illegal occupation as "#terrorism". He doesn't just victimise the occupied, by demonising legal resistance. He demands secondary victimisation, of supporters of legal resistance. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab This #BigLie about #intifada is a core component of #Israeli propaganda, the #hasbara.. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Keir #Starmer is master of the #BigLie: a huge falsehood which smears opponents, deceives others, and reframes debate. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Brave #Israeli armed forces again heroically attacked ships of unarmed civilians in international waters, near #Crete. #GlobalSumudFotilla npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab "A zombie government is distracted, listless, unambitious and uncreative", writes #NesrineMalik in #TheGuardian about #Starmer. https://archive.is/Kx7kp npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Iran Has a LEGO video for everything Trump does. Including running away from a dinner after a probably-staged assassination attempt. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I was describing Thatcherites as Maoist 35 years aago. It's great to see someone else on the same track.<3 npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab "Could the #LabourParty replace Keir #Starmer without telling him about it?" npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Full clip of #ZarahSultana MP calling #Starmer a liar, then suspended and removed from the UK #HouseOfCommons. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab "THE PRIME MINISTER IS A BARE-FACED LIAR". npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Nicholas True, Baron True is not my sort of politician. Lord True served as Leader of the House of Lords 2022–24. His entire working life has been within the Conservative Party. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #Israel is "PROHIBITED" by the US from bombing #Lebanon, says Donald #Trump. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #DianeAbbott tells #SkyNews "it is not possible" that Number 10 didn't know Peter #Mandelson failed security vetting for his role as US ambassador. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab One of the curious aspects of the NHS is that while management and ownership systems are reguosrly reinvented, the structure of services has not changed much since 1948. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab It's vital to remember that medical services are a minor component of health. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab When they were just outsiders, #ReformUK could get away with telling each group of disgruntleds what that group wanted to hear. The contradictions didn't matter, and all the different groups added up. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab That's not my understanding. Yes, the proscription reasons in place pending an appeal. But unless the High Court judgment is overturned in appeal, the ban is void ab initio, and all the arrests are illegal, including today's arrests. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Huge relief in #London, which is again safe from opponents of #genocide. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I took great care to describe my own personal experiences and emotions, and not to pronounce on anyone else's experiences and emotions npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I have chosen to spend most of my life with four-legged people rather than two-legged. Those dogs and cats have been the wisest and the most important people in my life. If there is a next life, I want to be reunited with those loving teachers. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab "Could Trump blow up Nato over Iran war?", asks #TheGuardian worriedly npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Enoching - repeatedly turning up where you're not wanted >>> https://waterfordwhispers.shop/collections/enoching npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab #MartinaBurke & #AmmiBurke have been sentenced to 2 wks in prison for #contemptofcourt after repeatedly shouting in the #HighCourt. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab James Butler's article on #GortonAndDenton in #LRB is astute, especially about the strategic folly of the so-called "#LabourParty". A fine read: https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/february/just-voting / https://archive.is/xgwDa npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Why is #GordonBrown allowed to lie? npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Do you apply the same principle to married women? npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab I see in this thread a lot of touching belief in variants of the phrase "Trump can’t do XYZ lawfully". npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Westminster elections have at best a rather loose connection to the idea representative democracy. It's not just #FPTP limiting choice and producing wildly distorted outcomes (2024 was insane); it's the rigged seat allocation by voter registration rather than census, and the failure to ban corporate funding. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Guide to U.S. intervention in Latin America npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Domestic dysfunction is surely an inevitable function of the extreme social stress applied to the UK over the last 16 gears. Intentional economic precarity, unstable and unaffordable housing, a cost of living crisis brutally hitting the costs of food and energy. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab "#Freedom" was a big part of the rhetoric of capitalist ideologues such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab A day short of ten years ago, I was struck by this anon comment on Frances Coppola's blog by a young economist on their experience of working in the #DWP #BenefitSanctions team. The economist described the pressure to prerform "Policy based evidence-making". npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Yes, room for a bit of hope indeed. npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Excellent! npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Now even the #LibDems are #flagshagging 🤮 npub1ryurqxg5q6464cx2cys3l7dn6mjenjppts3khmslw82nlpxm3hhqh6myy0 Claire McNab Does #Starmer even need to bother sabotaging Wes?
