just to be clear, CPGB-ML are not the tolerant left - they're a nasty / hateful organisation that worship stalin (and other murderous dictators), are prone to historical revisionism, and even dabble in holocaust denial
also, while i welcome the confirmation of our ineptitude, i also fear this leak will 1) make TM keep cards closer to her chest through the negotiations 2) reinforce the brexit mob and their 'UK vs. EU!' mentality

yeah sure, the reality is that the photo is comparably trivial. but in the world of citizen journalism, 'political optics', my grandmother owning an iphone etc, under no circumstances can the shadow chancellor stand below the flag of a holocaust denying communist party. i'm sure he's not a supporter (although its now revived the 'are you a marxist?' questions), but it just smacks of gross incompetence. and in a week where diane abbott revealed she can't count it kinda hints at the amateurish level labour are operating at. local elections were a disaster - trying to spin not collapsing in wales as a success is embarrassing.
so far it seems like labour think they'll win more support by simply arguing they're not the conservatives. arguing that you're not the opposition works when you have a positive centrist international vision and the opposition is the populist radical right (france). it won't work when your opposition is a unified, organised, ruthless, (comparably) competent centre-right party and you have no idea who your core vote is anymore (u guessed it... the UK).

hi just a friendly reminder that today is election day in the US of A
please please please go vote today, us young people vote way too low a percent. do you really want great grandpa jack deciding what happens in this country?
feel free to ping me if you need help figuring out voting location or anything, and I would suggest figuring out who you are going to vote for ahead of time so you can make an educated decision
