Graph showing membership since 2002. Started at 5268, now at 175,000.

Been a while since we checked this graph - the growth since Zack became leader is genuinely incredible.

My hot take on this its great that the journalist acknowledges that the Green Party is at record membership, record polling and has huge momentum.

But why say "dentally challenged?"

Who or what is that serving?

The state of journalism.

Tweet dated August 9th 2014 from the account of Labour MP Shabana Mahmood, who currently holds the position of Home Secretary. The tweet reads: "Heartening to see so many people here at the demo #gaza". She is pictured holding a sign that states: "Palestine Solidarity Campaign - Free Palestine".

Tweet dated October 5th 2025 from the account of Labour MP Shabana Mahmood, who currently holds the position of Home Secretary. The tweet reads: "Protest is a fundamental right. But this right must not be used to intimidate or spread fear amongst communities. I will grant police forces new powers to put conditions on repeat protests."

Hypocrite: "someone who says they have particular moral beliefs but behaves in way that shows these are not sincere"

It really isn’t okay. And it’s more upsetting to see ppl trying to justify this with “but Trump”-isms.

“Just because you have a freedom doesn’t mean you have to use it at every moment of every day” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood defends the new powers to restrict protests the government wants to give police based on “cumulative disruption”

If you put limits & restrictions on a "freedom", it ceases to be a freedom at all.

What changed Shabana Mahmood?

The bar of the Midland Hotel, lunchtime on the Sunday of Tory conference.

Police to get broader powers to crack down on repeated protests The move is not a ban on protests but "about restrictions and conditions", Shabana Mahmood tells the BBC.

“Ministers are to give police new powers to target repeated protests, aimed particularly at cracking down on demonstrations connected to Gaza, the Home Office has said.”

They’re enabling a genocide and silencing opposition. This is authoritarianism.

British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.

Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...🔁

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

"Repeated protests" have persistent causes. Shabana Mahmood needs to remove the ludicrous 'terrorist' labelling of PA and their peaceful supporters. Next stage is even bigger protests against increasingly authoritarian anti-protest powers.😡😡😡

Jay Jones wanted violence inflicted on a political opponent (and also said opponent's chlidren). His texts make that extremely clear.

That is not acceptable in a position of power and trust. And that's true whether or not he wanted it public, his skin color, or any "but Trump!" statement.

FCK! Jay Jones in VA is likely out of the running for saying stupid ugly things. VA, we're in trouble. We cannot stoop to the level of MAGAts and say "he was just joking" when we freak out when they do the same stuff. Who was in charge of background checks? Why didn't they find this?

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Hate crime fire at mosque in seaside town condemned as ‘disgusting’ Local MP Chris Ward said he was ‘appalled’ by the incident and said it was ‘purely chance’ that no-one was injured.

I see this isn’t everywhere …

Right...

Labour directly saying "fuck your free speech"...
How the fuck anyone still defends these fucking cunts with a straight face, I have no fucking idea.

Two peas in a pod, eh?

Labour wants us to be afraid of Reform fascism, while simultaneously inflicting fascism on us.

Shabana Mahmood would not look out-of-place as a token Reform MP.

Shabana Mahmood back in 2014: "surely the current death toll in Gaza is the clearest sign of a disproportionate & indiscriminate response"

How can you say Israel killing 2,300 Palestinians in 2014 was disproportionate & indiscriminate, but what its been doing for the past 2 years isn't?
