Exclusive Poll: Anti-Reform Tactical Voters Poised to Defeat Nigel Farage's Party in Gorton and Denton By-election Greens and Labour are in an effective dead heat against Reform UK, with tactical voters leaning towards Zack Polanski’s party

Two thirds (66%) of Labour and Lib Dem voters in Gorton and Denton said they would be prepared to switch to the Greens if they were most likely to beat Reform, compared to just 41% of Green and Lib Dem voters who said they would switch to Labour in order to defeat Farage’s party.

The final weekend before the crucial Gorton & Denton election.

The only party leader to show up, support their candidate and hit the ground canvassing - @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Where was Keir Starmer? @lucympowell.bsky.social

No sign of Nigel Farage (or Matt Goodwin).

Greens deserve to win.💚

Reform is not your friend.

The Tories, per the Daily Fail, now vow to “fix” the mess they made - with zero idea how to pay for it. Again. They boast about cutting 100k students but can’t say how, unless they mean gutting universities. Same failed architects, now pretending they’re the repair crew. #DailyFail

Farage distances himself from them, so why are far-right bigots helping Reform UK’s candidate Goodwin in the Gorton and Denton by-election?

Extreme poverty fell sharply worldwide – even excluding China. Line chart of global extreme poverty rate, 1990 to 2025. Extreme poverty is defined as living below the international poverty line of $3 per day; data are adjusted for inflation and differences in living costs between countries. The chart shows global extreme poverty reduced from 43% to 10%, and the series excluding China reduced from 33% to 12%, with the two lines converging by around the mid-2000s and continuing to decline toward 2025. Y axis runs from 0% to 50%; x axis runs from 1990 to 2025. Data source: World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (2025); OurWorldInData.org/poverty. License: CC BY.

Was the global decline of extreme poverty only due to China?

The share of the world population living in extreme poverty has never declined as rapidly as in the past three decades.

Horrific. May god help us block this company and all they stand for with our moral courage, activism and organising in any way.

I will never forget the coverage from Chicago the night Obama won, with the closeup of Jesse Jackson with tears running down his face. RIP, Mr. Jackson.

Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, dies aged 84 A fixture in Democratic politics who ran for 1988 presidential nomination, Jackson was once close to Martin Luther King Jr The Rev Jesse Jackson, the civil rights campaigner who was prominent for more than 50 years and who ran strongly for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, has died. He was 84. “Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement. “We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family. His unwavering belief in justice, equality, and love uplifted millions, and we ask you to honor his memory by continuing the fight for the values he lived by.” Continue reading...

Jesse Jackson with Martin Luther King

RIP Jesse Jackson

Rev. Jesse Jackson taught us that hope is the fuel of progress, that hands that once picked cotton could one day pick presidents, and that love and justice must march together.

He was a towering figure of moral courage and boundless hope.

RIP, Reverend.
Your work is done, but ours continues.
