Burn! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Literally the least fun things I've seen all day.

By "concerningly high rates of family voting" does Farage mean "concerning high rates of Muslim folk turning up to vote for someone other than us?" I suspect so. What an obvious & horrible racist, trying in vain to follow Trump's "it's all a fix when we lose" strategy. Disgusting.

It's not just that the @greenparty.org.uk won, look at the numbers!
Congratulations Hannah Spencer.

I suspect if you go back to the early days of industrialisation in the 1830s-50s you will find tech bros saying similar stuff about the Protestant work ethic whilst setting up their exploitative factories.

I can confirm that Daksh Gupta, the 23-year-old co-founder of an AI start-up, is wrong. That is not the vibe.

Latest polling. Only the greens can stop Reform in Gorton and Denton. Reform +12%, Greens +11%, -20% Labour

Labour have blown it. This is it. Time to take on Reform.

Manchesters first Green MP is coming. Join us to help get them elected on Saturday.

Graphic featuring Green Party leader Zack Polanski, with his portrait at the top on a green background. A large quote reads: “As days pass and Labour seemingly find new ways to disappoint people, I remain focused on growing the Green Party. At the upcoming by-election in Gorton and Denton, it’s become clear that the Greens are the only progressive party capable of beating Reform.” Green Party logo and branding appear at the bottom.

We are not here to be disappointed by Labour anymore. At the by-election in Gorton and Denton, we are here to replace them. This election is a two-way race now - Greens Vs Reform.

Once more in a difficult situation team Starmer make the worst possible decision.

Can't wait for the country to be rid of them. It won't be that long now.

Yeah, I think dreadful #FPTP could send it that way as well. Personally, I think that is more likely if the Greens stand a big name against Burnham, or the Greens & Labour both stand lesser-known candidates. I suspect either Burnham or Polanski (if Burnham is blocked) will carry it. But I'm guessing

Generally speaking yes. Although there is half decent Green support there already, & in a particular set of circumstances I think that could change. If Labour block Burnham & stand a Starmer ally, I suspect the left-wing vote could rally around a high-profile Green.

Generally speaking neither am I. But, with the situation as it is, it is on the cards.

🎇Well isn't that interesting! 🎆

Either the Labour Party let him, & he probably deposes Starmer in the early summer, or they block him & I guess Zack Polanski stands & may well ride the outrage to victory. Fun times.

It's so good.

I think it would be best for everybody if Burnham won this seat & deposes Starmer. It will make a left coalition possible, & he believes in proportional representation. The Greens need both those things.

😆😆😆 what a wonderful rumor.

Couldn't be happening to a nicer bunch of people.

I am tired of Earth. These people.

Interesting (or I think it is because I'm that kind of nerd).

Zack Polanski and Gary Lineker

New Year's Eve. 3pm.

Apparently, the increasingly fascistic government in the US will want to vet my social media if I decide to visit. How weird to know that it probably isn't safe for me to travel to the US if I wanted to.

I find Your Party's frequent use of AI very illuminating. Because when they talk about workers, they clearly do not include in that a large number of Arts sector and 'knowledge' workers. I suspect they regard them with contempt. Which is one of the many reasons they are not going to get far.

Sought and found asylum in the UK

Oh no! My kids have found a version of Golden where all the lyrics are replaced with Meow-ing. 🫣

Political polls usually take a week or two to reflect what's happening on the ground in my experience.

I think that You Gov now have the Greens on 17%, & up in that block with the Tories & Labour is a big deal.

Shameful

(& deathly for Labour. Anyone who thinks this is OK isn't voting for them anyway)

Remember: if you're trans and don't disclose before sexual acts, you could end up in prison and on the sex offenders list but if you abused girls along with Epstein, the King will still give you pocket money and a mansion.

I suspect tactical voting would cost them more than that. But they would still be the largest party by a long shot.

You know what, I think the MAGA inspired far-right could be over playing their hand on the BBC. They could end up uniting liberals & socialists behind the cause of protecting it in a fascinating way.
