Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

Labour by-election bar chart fails to show poll put them level with the Greens – Full Fact A bar chart shared by Labour showing it polling slightly ahead of Reform UK in Gorton and Denton doesn’t tell the whole story.

A bar chart shared by Labour ahead of tomorrow’s Gorton and Denton by-election shows the party polling one percentage point ahead of Reform UK.

But the graph omits the Green Party, which was level with Labour in the same poll.

Our fact check πŸ‘‡

β€œ..if [Labour] were serious in its opposition to Reform it would be saying that Reform is planning state terrorism against large parts of the UK population”. Well said.

UK drug laws are currently built on hypocrisy & the price is paid in preventable deaths.

Greens want to take control of a market that exploits people, is violent & devoid of care.

I worked on our policy in 2019 with grieving families, doctors, an ex undercover- cop...& I'll continue to back it.

People hanging about playgrounds to use drugs is a very specific problem of a criminalisation approach. There's no need to do that if you are not something you are forced to do surreptitiously, at risk of criminal prosecution.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed β€œwar on drugs”.

Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Drug laws have never stopped people from using drugs.

Are we ready to acknowledge yet that the problem is not with a handful of bad people, but a massive systemic crisis rooted in colonialism and the resultant trauma it instilled in everyone involved in it?

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Posts on social media incorrectly name Green Party by-election candidate – Full Fact Multiple posts on social media have falsely claimed that a former parliamentary candidate, Melissa Poulton, was chosen as the Green candidate in Gorton and Denton.

Posts with thousands of interactions wrongly named the Green Party candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election before it was announced.

The Greens have now confirmed a different person is their actual candidate.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Nature security assessment on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security This strategic assessment explores how global biodiversity loss and the collapse of critical ecosystems could affect the UK’s resilience, security and prosperity.

This week, Govt quietly published a 'Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment' after an FOI forced their hand.

It is a deeply concerning read for anyone who cares about our future.
