I'm not sure we're freaked out enough that the guy using AI to make ICE more efficiently terrible is proudly saying things like, "It was a mistake to casually proclaim the equality of all cultures and cultural values"

Austerity. Brexit. Transphobia. Racism. For too long, politics in the UK has been about being horrible to people. Time to change that.

Hope, not hate.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski holds news conference YouTube video by Sky News

Great to hold a press conference in Swindon this morning to welcome the new Green Party councillor group.

Swindon now has 3 Green Party councillors. They didn't leave Labour - Labour left them!

BBC News. Scottish Greens promise free bus travel for all. The Scottish Greens have pledged to replace council tax and make bus travel free for everyone in Scotland.

Since we delivered free bus travel for those under the age of 22, over 250 million free journeys have been taken.

That's congestion off ours streets, pollution out our air, and money back in people's pockets.

That's a resounding success we can build on.

Fun fact: humans aren’t made of sugar and we don’t melt in the rain.

If you show your kids how to dress for the weather, they learn quickly and may even enjoy it!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Double yellow lines, dropped curbs and tactile paving are not decorative touches.

And do Creative Drives WM67HBA have a vested interest in damaging tactile paving?

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive.
People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, cafΓ©, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Reform is top headline on BBC.

Again.

Why does this continue?
Why is BBC platforming this, with the vile cruel policy? Reform isn’t govt.

It’s LibDem conference this week, and there’s virtually no live coverage of it, despite lots of policy announcements, and 72 MPs.
