Erm.... I'm sure she had lovely things to say as she collected the award!

I'm not going to spend my time at Spectator ceremonies collecting awards.

We're busy taking the fight to Reform.

I'm waiting for the King to remove the title Mr from him.

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat

The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes

Govt's plan is delusional

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

That is horrific! How to ruin a beautiful floor.

Greens who want to save the world by destroying Britain.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

#Newsnight

James Cleverly: "I cannot understand the motivation for protests of this type so regularly"

The greens may be the threat that the right never saw coming.

Our movement is living rent free in the heads of Telegraph journalists at the moment.

Join me in being ‘a threat to the right that they never saw coming’.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Loved this short film by @owenjones.bsky.social.

My biggest takeaway is how much talent there is in @greenparty.org.uk Brilliant, kind, smart, articulate people making change.

Absolutely time to harness that energy and scale us up massively.

Let's do this! 💚

No more Scots or Canadians?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Surely that should be Magalopolis.

Why our organs cannot simply be classified as male or female Biological sex is usually described in simple binary terms: male or female. This works well for germ cells (sperm versus eggs), but for other body organs it is of little help.

Nature does not do binaries. Anyone who tells you biology is simple is wrong

UK National Grid supply figures.

Wow so much renewable energy that electricity prices are currently negative. Not that you would know from our media, who will be in a frenzy about how bad net zero is!

Privatisation of UK industries is driving cost of living crisis, says Greens leader Zack Polanski calls mass privatisation a ‘failed experiment’ as report finds it has cost UK households £250 a year more

The Conservatives started this experiment.

But Labour are fully on board too.

No 10 refuse to comment or take action - but we're all paying the price for corporate greed.

UK living standards have collapsed while govt after govt have sat on their hands.

Now the vacuum they left is being filled by fascist agitators like Tommy Robinson and super-rich big-business-backed politicians like Farage.

There is an alternative–and we can all play our part in fighting for it.

'Tommy Robinson's Far-Right Rally Was The Worryingly Predictable Next Step For Broken Britain' A decline in living standards paved the way for toxic groups to seize the narrative, Green MP Carla Denyer writes for HuffPost UK.

We don’t have time to waste–the future of our country is at stake and we have work to do to put us on the path to a better future.

How do we fix this mess?

Yet more compelling evidence to support @greenparty.org.uk policy that public services should be in public hands 👇

Nigel Farage:

"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."

Farage has two ex-wives.

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.

A #GMB poll of people from black and ethnic minority backgrounds found 34% had experienced racist abuse since the beginning of August, half believe its connected to the flag movement & 28% feel less safe than last year.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Is Trump breaking the US economy?

Donald Trump promised to Make America Great Again. Instead, he is wrecking the US economy. Job creation has collapsed, farmers can’t sell their crops, foreign investors are leaving, and tariffs are pushing up prices for ordinary Americans.
