Today is the first time I've encountered this vanguard of the people. That twitter account is quite something.Perhaps this is petty and meanspirited of me, but I can never ever read one of his posts without thinking of that image of him prancing around Cambridge in a cape:

Today is the first time I've encountered this vanguard of the people. That twitter account is quite something.
Why hasn't anyone told me about him before?
Having now checked my files, this post from the Cambridge University Momentum society is pretty amazing:Yeah, never heard of him either. Pretty special! Who the fuck are they, they look like some Oxbridge graduate gone rogue Communist.
long been one of their favourite things to doSay what you like about old-fashioned Stalinists, at least I don't think they used to sell pictures of memes.

Because it is completely unsubstiated and untrue!I'm gonna fucking call it, Nigel your react trolling is pretty unpleasant in itself, but love emoji responses to really dodgy stuff, laughing when Shechemite talked about people with disabilities being seriously oppressed by the Bolsheviks, it's shit. Like proper red-brown stuff.

"Dialogue between Moscow and Washington on strategic stability is formally “frozen”, Russian state media has reported, citing a Russian foreign ministry official.Or, perhaps, there is a Russian pretence not to want a peace deal. I don't think anyone posting here can claim to know what the reality is.
"Dialogue between Moscow and Washington on strategic stability is formally “frozen”, Russian state media has reported, citing a Russian foreign ministry official.
Vladimir Yermakov, the foreign ministry’s head of nuclear non-proliferation, said those contacts could be restarted after Russia completes what it terms its “special military operation”"
They really don't want a peace deal - at this stage anyhow.
The first few weeks of the invasion has regular peace talks - publicly known - the Russians have since stopped the pretense of negotiation. I'm not sure how this is contentious a thing to sayOn other hand they may want one. If they do they would be unlikely to want such negotiations to be public

well sure technically anything is possible - i cant claim to know what i don't know - but it seems very speculative to imagine that they've stopped all publicly known peace talks (for the obvious reasons you lay out in the first line) only so as to open up secret channels with ukraine. of course there are networks of diplomats and ear whisperers out there. the narrative seems clear though, they havent been able to get what they want through military pressure + negotiations so they're concentrating all efforts to get it by military force alone, for now.In the first few weeks the Russians probably assumed that they were in a position to publicly lay down the terms of any settlement. As the attack on Kiev was a humiliating cluster fuck, they probably no longer consider that to be the case.
They may now, as you say have given up the pretense of negotiating, or they may now have adopted the pretense of not negotiating but be negotiating behind the scenes, which is what often happens in a situation where one or both sides take a public stance of intransigence. For example public records released under the 3O year rule, show that at the height of the Hunger Strikes, Thatcher was in negotiations with the IRA about the possibility of a compromise Margaret Thatcher 'negotiated with IRA'
Neither I nor you know what's actually going on. Only an idiot would claim that they did.
Is that a contentious thing to say?
Some may sympathise with the sentiments expressed here.How very dare you smear such a committed socialist!!!
BBC NEWS | England | Derbyshire | Labour holds power in Tory pact
Labour holds power in Tory pact The Labour group on Derby City Council has made a pact with the Tories to secure another year in charge.
It will give three of the 10 positions on the cabinet to the Conservatives, who in return will not side with the Lib Dems in council votes.
The move follows last week's local elections, when both parties lost seats on the city council.
Labour's Chris Williamson will carry on as council leader - but he insisted the arrangement was "not an alliance".
