The Green Party has been consistent on our position.

We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.

And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

Joani Reid MP once demanded "the British public deserves to know" whose side Jeremy Corbyn was on with Russia.

Now, the British public deserve to know whose side she is on & if she has financially benefited from an alleged Chinese Spy.

Anything less must call her position as an MP into question.

While we're all distracted by Iran, Shabana Mahmood is continuing Labour's sprint Right...

In my over half a century on this Earth, I have never seen a British political party more determined to lose the next election.

At this point Starmer's strategy is to do what Trump wants on the hope that he'll help the UK.

But his track record is constantly breaking his promises.. so why is there any reason to think that he won't this time?

Do you think the stupid motherfucker understands that the 7/7 bombings were a direct result of Blair signing us up to an illegal, immoral war?!

Congratulations to Keir Starmer for burning down the literal only thing that he had over Tony Blair.

Out of the leaders of Europe only Spain and Norway said that the USA's attack on Iran was illegal.

It shows just how many US lapdogs we have in Europe as 'leaders'.

Vote the lot of them out.

US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called β€˜allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.

The tragic awfulness of this government is that it has extended a factional war against the left of the Labour Party into a war against almost all the good things we might have expected of it. It cannot respond to the crisis it faces, because its hatred of the Labour left is definitional.

When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians

Again: you can walk over four thousand miles from Tripoli in Libya to Kabul in Afghanistan - without setting foot in a country that isn’t either ruled by American-backed tyrants and criminals, or barely has laws because it’s been bombed into a failed state, or soon will be.

Well, it looks a lot like the aim is to simply collapse every state they can’t buy off into ungovernable anarchy, to make them easier to dominate, tipping tens of millions of people into lawless poverty. It’s the type of stuff that they should send you to the electric chair for.

The Press that hounded Corbyn are now trying to bring down Zack.

Unfortunately when someone open and honest enters politics, it’s not quite as easy.

Come on you Hacks, this isn’t 2019 and we’re all wiser now

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

Reform, which spent its by-election campaign warning about the UK's "Christian heritage" being under threat, while proposing a ban on visas from predominantly Muslim countries, now accuses their opponents of engaging in "sectarian politics"

Labour MP Andy McDonald: "The party has to come to terms with the reality that factionalism fails the party and more importantly fails the country...

"It is the political approach of the Prime Minister, his former chief of staff, and of Labour Together, which has cost Labour this safe seat".

Newsnight can put Zack Polanski in a Russian hat. They can portray him as Voldermort. James O'Brien can accuse him of "breaking Britain".

It's not going to work this time, lads. People have seen too much. The electorate just knows more. Watch the attacks ramp up and recognise their toothlessness.

A Labour MP stood down for Burnham to stand, Starmer blocked him, and Labour went down to a seismic drubbing. But heck, no, let's not read too much into it. Massively out of touch.

I can't believe Keir Starmer's "the Greens want to sell spice and crack to toddlers" messaging didn't win over the voters of Gorton and Denton...

The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.

The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.

Can’t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year ago…

Anyway I thought the Reform Party wanted men to make decisions for their family?

Massive Green win, cue days and weeks of wall-to-wall Reform coverage and appearances all over the media.

The people of Britain keep telling you to stop forcing this shit on them and the media and Westminster lobby journalists keep ignoring them.

Making Farage 'a thing' is failing, lads.

Blue Labour as a concept needs to go in the bin, alongside the idea of Lexit. Cut the twin cancers out.

Brexit should go on the scrap heap of history.

FPTP has had its day too.

Roll on PR, and a full-throated and unashamed campaign to negotiate with the EU to rejoin ASAP.

As Green Party hope rises popularity, I look forward to them getting as much press coverage, news radio & appearances on BBC Question Time as the Farage Reform lot. What’s that I hear???

*wind whistles and a tumbleweed blows past*

Note how the media lauds Reform & hates the Greens. It’s rigged.

Hope Beats Hate: Green Party Defeats Reform and Labour in Huge Gorton and Denton By-Election Victory A concerted political and media campaign to scare voters about aΒ β€œGreen Menace” winning this by-election failed, reports Adam Bienkov

Gorton and Denton was 127th on the list of Green Party target seats.

To win by such a margin there suggests there is much bigger potential for Green gains in May's local elections than most people expect
