The national flag of Georgia

When it comes to stupid comments, my favourite is the person who called me a stupid racist. Racist because I had the St George's flag on my bio. Stupid because I'd made the mistake of putting the flag of Georgia there instead.

The poor sap had no idea why it was there.

We must not ignore Georgia.

Seeing lots of this tonight after that party political broadcast.

The Green Party are on track to overtake the Tories in membership.

Let's make hope normal again.

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here.

Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

Everything is horrible, and politics is nothing but a cauldron of despair, but even within this Robert Jenrick sticks out for his unrelenting vileness.

So according to Jenrick, 'not integrated' means black/brown faces outnumbering white faces. How very dare they. Nothing to do with whether they're actually integrated – just what they look like.

Absolutely shameful.

He'll probably become Tory leader.

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Two great inspirational speeches showing politics can be far kinder and compassionate if we join together to fight the forces of destruction

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

Here’s my cliff notes summary of Pete Hegseth’s big military address today

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

The government want more coercive powers for the state against protests, and the main opposition party wants more coercive powers for the state against migrants.

Our political-media culture continues in a loop where the response to every perceived problem is yet more coercive powers for the state.

Angela Merkel chose to present her book in Budapest standing next to Viktor Orbán. A leader who has dismantled press freedom, attacked minorities and weakened democracy in Hungary. 1/2

Angela Merkel, in Budapest to introduce his book's Hungarian edition, visits and poses for a photo op with Viktor Orbán.

A decision that is going to be difficult to understand for those who regard Merkel as a former "leader of the free world" and guarantor of normality.

Bloody 'terrorists' going around singing. Threat to society they are. #FuckKeirStarmer

Tbilisi, 🇬🇪 — thousands have taken to the streets right now and are marching toward the presidential palace.

Lucky for Nigel Farage that he never met that bloke who took bribes from the Russians, otherwise the media would be all over it.

Election activity was ar 12% by midday because this is where Georgians are #GeorgiaProtests

Good to see the Conservative party will be discussing how to "defend free speech" and end the "climate of censorship" while banning any journalists who criticise them from attending to cover it

Notice how the Greens didn't ban them unlike Reform, Labour and the Tories who have all banned journalists they don't like from their conferences.

Honestly this whole speech was terrific #gpconf #GPC25

Here's the founder of Blue Labour, Maurice Glasman. As well as being McSweeney's mentor and the architect of Starmer's disastrous pro-Brexit flagshagging strategy, he's also a diehard MAGA Trumpist who counts Nigel Farage and Steve Bannon among his closest friends.

BREAKING: Police have confirmed they shot two innocent people during the Manchester synagogue attack. Obviously, this means we have no choice but to ban people from protesting against the Gaza genocide x

Good analysis & interesting suggestion: invest rents back to create more housing rather than enriching landlords
