The Tory party is giving us an object lesson in "culture war-ification": free school meals are an economic issue - now they& #39;re being elided with criminality and fecklessness 1/ it& #39;s not random or accidental ...

2/ and now the Tory MPs are claiming cultural victimhood - "poor little public school educated me, being hounded by the plebs"... when their supporters *still* stand outside Parliament harassing left MPs/ journalists...

3/ It shows the futility of the mantra "don& #39;t fight the culture war": their attack on BLM, anticapitalism in schools, Critical Race Theory, "activist lawyers" etc an intelligent fightback but can& #39;t be ignored...

4/ For certain "don& #39;t fight elections as a culture war" but the labour movement is formed around values and solidarity... it& #39;s why the word scab exists... we& #39;re up against the talk radio shows and the far right Telegram channels: silence is not a strategy

5/ The practical solidarity over school@meals being shown by councils, volunteers and unions is the best answer to that calculatedly cynical MPs letter: class solidarity and defiant humanitarianism towards those suffering https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊🏼" title="Erhobene Faust (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust (mittelheller Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">
