As Labour keeps moving right. The question is: How low do they want to go?

What I think we’ve learned since Labour came to power is that their ability to be extraordinarily appalling in their behaviour knows no bounds. The thought of this makes me want to gag.

Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.

People say Polanski is good at communication, and that’s true. But he’s also having it made very easy for him.

It should be getting evident to even the most lump-witted Labour drone that the "Ha ha, hypnotits" strategy ain't gonna get you too far this time.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Once again the @greenparty.org.uk MP @elliechowns.bsky.social is held up as an exemplar of a good parliamentarian.

Whereas Farage doesn't respect the office enough to actually bother turning up.

They chose to go there, for the ‘good life’ and no taxes. Let them stay there, and experience what life without community and solidarity with each other feels like.

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

It seems the UK Labour Govt has learnt nothing from the Gorton & Denton byelection result. Instead of seeking to create welcoming communities, the Home Secretary is doubling down on hostility, risking a violation of the spirit of the 1951 Refugee Convention.

Voting Intention, sourced from LordAPolls between nineteen February and twenty-three February, displays a bar chart of five political parties and their respective support levels. Reform UK is in the lead at twenty-two percent, which is a decrease of three percentage points since nineteen February. The Conservative Party follows at twenty percent, showing a decrease of one percentage point. The Green Party stands at nineteen percent, representing an increase of one percentage point. The Labour Party is at seventeen percent, reflecting a decrease of one percentage point. Finally, the Liberal Democrats are at eleven percent with no change in their standing since the previous poll.

🚨 The Green Party are just THREE points behind Reform UK, approaching first place in the polls. 📈

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

A party that is resolutely anti-bourgeois while being staffed and supported by the bourgeoisie is an intriguing and inevitably impossible strategy.

Anyway good luck attracting those Reform voters who hate you.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Hannah Spencer, new MP for Gorton & Denton.

What a day to be a Green Party member! The idea that good people in G&D have chosen hope over hate, a brilliantly inspiring local candidate who’ll hold this crappy government to account.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

What a rare breath of deliciously fresh air. Congratulations Hannah, Zack, everyone involved in defeating Reform's naked xenophobic authoritarianism with authentic humanist hope, not with Starmer's authoritarianism-lite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

The govt is refusing to commit to an inquiry into the MOD's contracts with US-based spy tech giant Palantir despite the web of shady connections between Mandelson, Epstein, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel - this absolutely stinks.
