I weep for what could have been. I weep for our country.

This is what happens when a decent man tries his best.

"Last night hurt, today hurts a bit more, tomorrow it will hurt even more.

Jeremy has dedicated each day of his political life for the less fortunate amongst us. Unwaveringly, he has fought and campaigned for people who suffer and people in hardship.

Being honest, humble and good natured in the poisonous world of politics has meant that he has endured the most despicable attacks filled with hatred for the duration of his 36 years in public life.

In his 31 years as an MP preceding his leadership he supported each campaign for peace and justice wherever it was in the world and however difficult or unpopular at the time. As Labour leader he continued to do so. He also produced the most wonderful manifesto this country has ever seen. He took on an entire establishment.

This meant that the attacks from all sides intensified and became even more poisonous while he was leader. We've never known a politician to be smeared and vilified so much.

His unbelievably broad shoulders and incredibly thick skin endured all of this so that we could all live in the hope of a world free of racism or hunger. The man led with strength difficult to quantify.

Not only have his messages been inspirational but he has delivered them with honesty, humility, dignity and above all, love. The polar opposite of how his opponents delivered theirs. As we are so used to seeing, the politics of division and the message of hatred prevailed.

To say we are proud is a vast understatement. To assume that the ideologies he stands for are now outdated is so wrong. In the coming years we will see that they are more important than ever.

Thank you to every person who saw his vision and supported it and supported him. From the three proudest sons on the planet, please continue the fight."

Heartbroken and angry.

Jesus fucking shit Christ. Really UK? Fucking REALLY?!?

Oh my god. It looks like right wing propaganda and lies wins over truth a progressivism. We are so fucked.

To raise the spirits a little I messed with Boris's grim attempt at an already shit film.

He ignored the golden rule of the internet - never allow a picture of yourself holding a placard.

I see the a Labour Party are going for the jugular.

A fascinating read!

This is a great article - broad strokes, but links to some very interesting sources.

Also, I think I mentioned the IMF fossil fuel subsidy report previously, but it's great to see this getting reported more widely.

Coincidentally, I only watched the last series of Twin Peaks recently.

"Gotta light?"

So, Jeremy Corbyn held a press conference revealing 400 pages of unredacted documents exposing the NHS is on the table in US trade talks.

Discuss.

Urgh, post went wrong. Loads of links got lost there, mostly under the Johnson/Leave/Russia bit.  Anyway, it's all on Google - just type Boris Johnson Leave Russia and you'll see a shitload of news articles about the clown compromising our democracy via Russian influence.

I don't want Brexit, but accept it's the will of the people. So it should happen. Except I don't think anyone knew what was being proposed, and am worried about Russian involvement having skewed the vote. (That may be paranoia).

Not paranoia at all my friend. It seems everyone has accepted it except the U.K.  Here's a former CIA chief of staff openly discussing it:

You might do well to check out Carole Cadwalladr's TEDtalk about Facebook interference. Leave.EU, Aaron Banks, and Cambridge Analytica got some seriously shady money from somewhere:

Then, of course, there's our Leave supporting Russian asset of a PM:

Damn, if I had said "If this turns out well I'll eat my hat" then I'd be eating my hat now.

I'm really enjoying this.

In the meantime, these 10 grim graphs show the impact of 20 years of Tory rule.

‪Chief Rabbi Mirvis, apparently a good friend of Johnson, attacks Corbyn.‬

Here's a reminder of Corbyn's superb record against racism, plus also sexism and homophobia.

Also, it's interesting it happens on the same day the UK Muslim Council attacks the Tories for Islamophobia:
