It'll be only older, white, male property owners next.

Now aliens are looking at us and saying, "Nah; we'll pass. They're not ready."

β€œLegitimate concerns” has become a euphemism for endorsing racism and a cynical attempt by governments to hide from their own responsibility and failure.
It is the slogan of cowards.
The excuse for bigots.
And it blocks our path to an honest national debate on immigration. Shame on all who use it.

I’ve changed my mind and changed my position. I think the Labour government should now campaign on rejoining the Single Market and the Customs Union at the next General Election.

The economy is not going to grow sufficiently to improve living standards until we do.

I'll bet that there's adequate parking a short walk away. But people don't want to walk any distance so they'd rather trash the grassed areas.
I have sympathy for those who can't walk or have deliveries, but the latter are brief stops.

Bare arms, but not singlets.
T-shirts are acceptable.

You cannot conduct a "defensive strike"; that's an oxymoron.
Especially against missiles in storage. That's not defensive; that's an attack.

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.

Tom Tugendhat was on BBC Breakfast saying the same - we should be sending a frigate to the Gulf to protect the UAE.
We've already sold Saudi Arabia plenty of weapons and military aircraft; I'm not sure why we should be spending UK taxpayer's money on this?

Trump renamed his Department of Defence the "Department of War", so why is anyone surprised that he's starting more conflicts?

Makes sense. We've been told how they are all well trained and they're already armed and equipped...

They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

Sadly, you may not have less on-street parking; just more parking overall, as people will still park on the streets first.
But, great idea 😁

Now ask yourself: who actually benefits from prohibition?

The war on drugs has run for over 50 years. Drug use hasn't fallen. Drug deaths are at record levels. Organised criminals are richer than ever.

The only winners are the ones selling unregulated drugs.

With the Gorton and Denton win, our opponents have been working overtime to misrepresent Green Party drugs policy. Heroin in corner shops? Crack for kids?

Let's clear this up. 🧡

Portugal decriminalised all drugs 25 years ago. Drug-related deaths fell. HIV infections fell. Prison population for drug offences dropped from over 40% to under 16%.

Drug use has stayed below the European average throughout.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
George Orwell, Animal Farm

And this is a dreadful state of affairs, because politicians are not all the same. Except when they choose to be.

You’ve let a brain-addled, syphilitic man-child drive your entire country and he’s driving it off a cliff.

Remember when Putin reckoned that his "military operation" in Ukraine would be over in 3 days?
That was 4 years ago.

The Guardian reported two weeks ago that net migration would be negative soon.
The β€œmigration problem” doesn’t exist, it’s just racism.

Trump doesn't care about US law, or international law. I can only think that he believes that murdering foreigners will improve his poll ratings, or somehow make him wealthier 🀬

Trump's Iran gamble has begun - and he looks increasingly desperate Trump has bet the house on regime change in Iran - but without a clear plan or explanation to American citizens
