Horrified observer of most Western politicians. Anti-Brexit, anti-Zionist, anti-American before it was fashionable.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

This will continue till everyone gets tired of grovelling to a vicious, vulgar old criminal, grows a spine and tells him to fuck off.

Absolutely. The grovelling is not just embarrassing but counterproductive. Bullies only unresponsive to assertiveness, not to weakness.

Unless she can explain what an un-rushed and well-conceived Brexit would look like, she’s talking dishonest nonsense and should be held to account for doing so. Utterly pathetic.

Yet again today's edition of BBC #PoliticsLive features a Reform MP but no one from the Lib Dems, the Greens or the SNP. The bias is so blatant.

Another RW witch-hunt. There has to be a β€˜threat’. And only a government as morally bankrupt, incompetent and grifting as Starmer’s could possibly allow this to be a thing. In most cases everyone uses the same bathroom anyway.

Freedom of Religion, Eweida v United Kingdom (2013).
The ECHR ruled that British Airways was wrong to ban an employee from wearing a cross at work. It upheld her right to express her faith and confirmed that freedom of religion is protected in Britain.

The ECHR upheld the right of a British Airways worker to wear a cross at work. It proved that freedom of belief is not a privilege but a right that employers and governments must respect. These protections exist because of the ECHR, and they must not be taken for granted.

Free Press, Goodwin v United Kingdom (1996).
The ECHR ruled that forcing a journalist to reveal a confidential source breached press freedom. It strengthened protection for journalists in Britain and confirmed that a free press is essential to holding power to account.

Free Press, Goodwin v United Kingdom (1996). The ECHR ruled that forcing a journalist to reveal a confidential source breached press freedom. It strengthened protection for journalists in Britain and confirmed that a free press is essential to holding power to account.

When a journalist was punished for protecting a source, the ECHR stepped in. It ruled that a free press must be able to expose wrongdoing without fear. The ECHR defends accountability, and losing it would weaken the public’s right to know the truth.

Have Farage, Tice, Musk or any of the other whiny racist shit stirrers commented on his heroism yet? No? Odd that.

Can we deport whiny racist scum like Farage and Tice yet for not being nearly as decent as Samir Zitouni?

With Labour willing to work with Reform to oust the SNP, maybe you should move Labour to the Reform/Tory block.

More useful under PR. Reform would still win a big majority under FPTP.

It’ll be interesting to see if enough American voters can shake off their mass Stockholm syndrome long enough to vote for someone who isn’t screwing them over in plain sight. It’ll be the exception though.

She doesn’t have courage and her only conviction is that it’s all someone else’s fault. Not understanding how economies work doesn’t help either.

Well, I expect she’ll protect billionaires and political β€˜donors’. Will that do?

Quite right. The man is a threat to democracy and decency across the world. But there’s no way Starmer’s cowardly, grifting government will do anything.

They mean they want to take back control of us. Can’t have us having rights that undermine their power over us.

The evil, genocidal, apartheid colony that is Israel must be destroyed as Nazi Germany was. The Zionists must be tried at the Hague and Palestine must be returned to the Palestinians.

A poll puts the greens under ecosocialist Zack Polanski ahead of cautious Keir Starmer is a wake up call.

On the basis that every silver lining has a cloud, I’d like to point out that the darker evenings are awful.

Good article. And so great to have a party not in hock to shadowy, malevolent political β€˜donors’ forcing failed neoliberal oligarchy on its client politicians.

Terrible. Imagine if the USA threatened to attack sovereign countries. Venezuela, say, or Nigeria, or Iran, or Iraq, or Syria or Canada, or Greenland….or used language like β€˜bomb them back to the stone age’, or maybe started trade wars, threatened allies, or bullied and extorted smaller nations. πŸ€”

Greens - Lower bills through nationalising our public services, wealth tax on assets and huge increase in investment in our public services.

Labour - ID Cards, random statements about flags and Austerity 2.0.

But apparently the Green Party are the "vibes era?"

Make it make sense!
