Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Excited that the Oxford Congestion Charge means that the 3/3A will now run to the station!! Amongst a whole host of other bus improvements.

Also worth noting that this is just his opinion. Green Party policy is decided by the membership, not by the leader. So this would only become policy if it was voted on as a motion at Conference, which I think would require a more detailed proposal that answered concerns like yours.

He has clarified since then: he doesn’t advocate leaving NATO right now, he suggests building a new alliance to replace it that’s based on peace and diplomacy. And only leaving NATO when that alternative is in place. No idea how feasible that is but worth understanding his whole position I think.

More of this sort of thing please.

Yeah, that’s true. We’ve been definitely lacking this perspective in the political media in England and Wales though.

Genuinely refreshing to hear a politician say these things.

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.

And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

I’d love to hear him speak to @cathobbs.bsky.social from @weownit.org.uk about renationalisation of public services.

Several people hold of signs endorsing public ownership of the railways.

Do you want a railway that works for people not profit? 🚆

The good news is there’s lots of MPs who agree. 👍🏼

We were in parliament today with Chris Hinchliffe MP, Martin Wrigley MP and some fantastic rail experts to launch our vision for the railways bill.

Check out the report below 👇🏼

Fascinating paper using the unique circumstances of Starmer's "Islands of Strangers" speech falling in the middle of BESIP fieldwork to assess its impact.

Reduced Labour support + no evidence of reduced support for Reform UK.

The latest of many studies suggesting that accommodation doesn't work.

🚨New Research 🚨

Ahead of the release of Wave 30 of the BES Internet Panel, the team has examined Labour's decline since the 2024 GE.

Labour's support has splintered into mostly indecision or left-liberal parties, but they've also lost their few right-wing voters.

'This country needs migrants'

Zack Polanski, the new leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, speaks to #BBCBreakfast about his views on immigration

Labour has succeeded only in strengthening Farage. The way is now open for Zack Polanski’s Greens | George Monbiot By caving to the hard right and corporate greed, Labour has left a gaping hole the new Green party leader is best placed to fill, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Those who can channel our anger at 15 years of misrule, who can speak the language of outrage and hope, are the politicians of the moment. They will contribute to what could be, in 2029, the greatest electoral reset in our modern history.

Passengers not profit: a vision for the Railways Bill. Statement from Chris Hinchliff, Labour MP. "I welcome the publication of this constructive document from We Own It. The Labour Government has committed to the monumental step of bringing our railways into public ownership, calling time on 30 years of privatisation that delivered poor services and sky-high prices. We Own It’s proposals align with the Government’s ambition to deliver well-resourced, affordable railways that improve connectivity and help us reach net zero by getting people out of polluting cars and onto clean, reliable trains."

📣We're calling on the government to make FULL public ownership the final destination of its rail reforms.

Photo of Steve Reed with text saying "Steve Reed Come Clean on the true cost of publicly owned water. Take Action". Behind is a screenshot of a newspaper headline saying "Public Ownership of England's water companies could cost close to zero, says think tank."

Steve Reed told Parliament his dep't provided the figure of £100bn to buy back water.
The DEFRA Under-Secretary and civil servants are on record saying the figure came from a report funded by water companies.
So...who's telling the truth? Time to #ComeCleanSteve

Incredibly proud to have played a small role in getting these two wonderful people elected in East Oxford.

@greenpartyemma.bsky.social and @emilykerr36.bsky.social will now be part of the largest ever group of Greens on Oxfordshire County Council.

An illustration of how FPP goes from sandbag to springboard - Reform votes and seats in different councils:

Oxfordshire: 18% vote, 2% seats
Cambridgeshire: 23% vote, 16% seats
Devon: 27% vote, 30% seats
Leicestershire: 33% vote, 46% seats
Derbyshire: 37% vote, 66% seats
