The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

A party falling apart in record time, already being left well behind by the Green Party as the bone fide party of the left.

Israel still committing genocide in Gaza, Amnesty International says The NGO’s chief says last month’s ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal’

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

This!
Get in touch with your local party and help any way you can. Deliver leaflets, knock on doors, organise social events, post on social media. There is a role for everyone.
Thank you, some very exhausted local party officers. 💚

Speaking at a regional conference in Manchester, it was amazing to see so many new members feeling absolutely energised and ready to take on the challenges ahead and unite this country behind hope.

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

This is what Labour should be doing. They probably will now the Greens are 😂

We have to expect the right wing and their media to start attacking Zack and the Greens vociferously because it’s been so long since there’s been a voice or a party calling out wealth inequality instead of blaming asylum seekers for our problems.

One of those clips which can't get any bett... oh, no, it just did.

He's right.
But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

'He's done nothing': Nigel Farage accused of only using Clacton 'for photo opportunities' There are murmurs of discontent in Clacton, and Nigel Farage remains an elusive presence in his own constituency.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone
