They are following the Trump play book. Eugenics galore.

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

Reform doubling down on outright destructive, racist cruelty.

The poison they are spreading is why I’ve been in Gorton & Denton listening to people making up their minds and talking about welcoming all our neighbours as they choose between hope and hate.

This election is an appeal for trust, a battle against fear and a straight fight between Greens and Reform | Hannah Spencer Thursday’s stakes could not be higher. We know Labour has failed and Farage’s Reform is poisonous. I want to win Gorton and Denton as a fresh start, says Hannah Spencer, the Green party candidate in t...

Reform have nothing to offer but divisive hate. Blaming migrants and communities struggling to get by.

Hannah Spencer understands Manchester, she knows the value of work and will actually get things done.

Thursday - it's Greens Vs Reform. Hope Vs Hate.

Decline in remote jobs risks shutting disabled people out of work, study finds Research project warns fall in homeworking roles could undermine efforts to reduce unemployment

Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Love this

There's so much going on, but if we don't protect nature and climate, it's gonna get so much worse. Vote no on the #Mercursor deal Europe!

You might want to think about such issues as the Amazon rainforedt tipping point, before you vote yes on #Mercosur @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social @europeangreens.eu

Devastating climate risk report, suppressed by government, while everyday reporting of extreme storm damage to a rail line making it unsafe to use (and expensive to fix) fails to even mention climate breakdown.

Funny that this is a BBC article when they are propping at climate-denying Farage at the same time!

Absolutely not

Interesting contrast in coverage: a misleading, vested-interest report suggesting heat pumps raise UK bills made headlines.

Our peer-reviewed UK research showing high real-world efficiency across hundreds of homes was largely ignored by the media.

Sounds an awful lot like what Farage is doing in the UK. We need better. Good to see the rise of the Greens here. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Sickening! Workd leaders need to speak up!

Moving away from US trade is good, but the Mercursor deal will be a death sentence for the Amazon Rainforest. @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

Farage warned just now against “a worrying extreme left wing voice in this country."

Hmmm.

This from a climate denying, Trump loving, NHS selling corporate stooge who’s been a genuine threat to Britain for decades.

It wasn't theirs to present.

If the UK vote Reform, we will get the USA treatment.

I didn't realise they were thinking of scrapping Jury trials?!

Moving away from USA dependency is good @mark-carney.bsky.social but locking in further use of fossil fuels through a pipeline?! Bad! Carbon capture is unproven and unreliable. It's an excuse to keep extracting and sidelines real solutions! Plus China is using more renewable energy than ever!

Some mention of it by our prime minister would be nice. Ashamed of my country sometimes.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

What the heck?!!!

Revealed: oil industry lobbyist working inside UK’s climate department Polanski slams arrangement; experts warn of 'corporate infiltration antithetical to democracy'

Outrageous.

Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela.

Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.

Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

OMG 😭

Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure."

LIFE SAVING!
