Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

Anyone who doesn't think the primary or only problem of small boat crossings is that THEY ARE UNSAFE AND PEOPLE DROWN has simply lost all humanity.

My two stand-out highlights of Green Party conference were @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social's Deputy Leaders' speeches. Grounded, emotional, and inspiring.

The title of the motion was a headline grab. It's actual detail is a plan to minimise landlordism through a multi-pronged approach including property taxes and social housing.

Starmer put down his fork and asked what the meat was.
Mrs S: It's tofu, it's vegan.
S: And where's my razor?
Mrs S: Morgan says you should have designer stubble.
S: We're not moving to Hackney are we?
Mrs S: If it comes to it you might have to marry Morgan.
S: But we filled the house with flags!

Israel’s war on #Gaza has dragged on far too long. Over the past two years, Israeli forces have killed over 66,000 people, including 15 of our staff.

We call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire, an end to the siege and access for independent humanitarian aid at scale.

I'm really glad that the Green Party have caught up with the Labour Party on their excellent "No Landlordism" platform...of 1902. #gpconf

It's funny: the Green Party has always been this party but it's good to have people who are able to cut through, @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Strong, positive messages from @mothinali.bsky.social and @rachelmillward.bsky.social too. Thank you. The alternative is terrifying.

So the true friend of the Jews, a stalwart in the fight against antisemitism, wants us to know that the official representatives of the Jewish community in the UK are globalist and pro-open borders.
I know I can't expect coherence from racism. But this is beyond farce.

I've been a member - of varying levels of engagement - since 2009. Finally, finally, it seems like the country is hearing and understanding what this party has always been about. And it makes my πŸ’š swell.
