Ok a compromise. Everyone who voted leave leaves everyone who voted remain remains EU Citizens. Estonia has the technology for this

a perfect summary of #DeformUK

Truly this is the Age of the Gobshite 😕

Ukraine just sanctioned a Chinese firm helping Russia build Shaheds—and also extended measures on Russian oligarch-linked firms Kyiv named Shenzhen Weiliao for supplying drone parts to Alabuga plant and renewed sanctions against Aven, Fridman, and Kosogov-linked structures.

Ukraine sanctioned 33 individuals and 27 firms—including a Chinese company supplying drone parts to Russia’s Shahed plant.

These steps are mostly symbolic unless G7 and NATO countries follow with coordinated measures—which Kyiv is actively seeking.

Being pro-Palestinian is not being anti-Jewish.

Just as being pro-Jewish is not being anti-Palestinian.

Irresponsible language and framing from the Home Secretary.

It is perfectly right that people both protest the Gaza genocide and mourn the Manchester attack.

Well, he's not wrong on this one. Low-hanging fruit, mind.

In the hall, watching the panel now. Excellent speeches, very moving.
Caroline Lucas chairing, another standing ovation just now.
Emotional speeches from wronged arrestees on the accelerating erosion of rights.

Greens within 5 points of overtaking Labour. @zackpolanski.bsky.social wasn’t joking when he said we’re not here to feel disappointed in them, we’re here to replace them.

Polanski on stage, green background

Green leader Zack Polanski says privatised firms (e.g. in the water sector) have "taken our wealth, and friends, it's time to take it back"

Advocating for Solidarity with Ukraine at the Green Party Autumn Conference this weekend, I was asked to write an article in support of our conference motion which we hope gets tabled.

Baroness Mone should resign from Lords, senior Tory says, after order to pay back £122m over COVID PPE Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho said the former Tory peer do the "honourable thing" and resign after PPE Medpro was ordered to pay back the government close to £122m.

news.sky.com/story/barone...

The argument that Mone's offer was VIP'd because it was an emergency doesn't wash.

Long-standing manufacturers had their offers refused whilst Tory pals were waved through.

They were deliberately enabled and advantaged.

One name keeps re-appearing...

Gove.

Adventures in vandalism 🤬

There are two kinds of reactionary centrism:

1. "The radical left are lunatics, the far right has legitimate concerns"

2. "Vote for me and uphold zombie neoliberalism or else you are helping the fascists"

They are inconsistent but people like Starmer, Marcon & co switch between them all the time.

What do you do when your media org is captured? You start your own.

So who did that to whom, Mark, for the benefit of us without an encyclopedic knowledge of the regional geography? 😏

Under the proposals, legal migrants will have to learn English to a high standard, have a clean criminal record and volunteer in their community to be granted permanent settlement status.

Labour looking at Reform's racist policies and saying "we"ll have some of that". These aren't just discriminatory, by making migrants meet higher standards than the average person, they automatically treat migrants as if they are criminals on community service.

Combining careful research with personal reflection, Tsymbalyuk traces harm to rivers, steppes, wildlife, and insect populations, and records how Ukrainians live with and mourn the long-term, cross-border consequences of this ecological devastation.

The book highlights catastrophic events such as the June 2023 Kakhovka Dam breach that flooded protected habitats and agricultural land.

Ecocide in Ukraine: The Environmental Cost of Russia's War Ecocide in Ukraine: The Environmental Cost of Russia's War, The first book to explore the environmental impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine

Darya Tsymbalyuk documents the severe environmental damage of Russia’s war on Ukraine, showing how military operations have destroyed forests and farmland, pushed species toward extinction, and polluted soil and water.

Thrown out of the window or off this mortal coil?

500 drones and 40 missiles last night. At least four dead in Kyiv including a 12 year old.

Please get word out widely. AND something you can do: please contribute to our fundraiser for a unit that intercepts drones and missiles: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/VWE0qk3...
