Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"

When's the vote, Keir?

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

John Swinney blasts β€˜unfair’ transmission charges in Scotland at FMQs JOHN Swinney has blasted the β€œunfair” transmission charges for Scottish wind farms.

It's absolutely ridiculous.
We get charged more for parcel deliveries because we're apparently 'far away' from them. Yet it's also us who get lumped with being charged more to deliver our electricity to them because *they're* far away.
Make it make sense..

Iceland's Prime Minister KristrΓΊn FrostadΓ³ttir explains why Iceland want to join the European Union:

"Iceland has a lot to bring to the European Union"

"We've developed our resources in a positive way"

"We have a good welfare system"

"We have solid values"

"And we have respect for one another"

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your β€˜very extensive data’ and β€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election β€˜was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu β€œDhoka” ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.”
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

Independence has never been more vital for Scotland.

Scottish Greens have a plan to build a positive case for putting Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands.

They're throwing everything at the Greens, "antisemitism" (with a Jewish leader), "Muslim hatred" etc. what Labour won't do is explain how their own policies will improve lives, or give voters ANYTHING positive to chew on. A party devoid of ideas (and humanity it seems). Same in Scotland

Never has an image been so accurate.

Even if you're an uneducated, white, aged old has-been who has a desperate need to blame others for your inadequacies...just don't vote Reform

I was talking about this very thing the other day. Reform attack the Greens for being "too middle class" ironically, but these sorts of policies are directly aimed at working class folks. We should be able to enjoy life, not just survive
