And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.
Totally this.
The rightwing hate βjournalistsβ are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.

Even tougher βrhetoricβ on people of colour, LGBTQ folk, people seeking asylum, disabled people. Words which hurt, embolden bigots and which become harmful policy.

Good news to wake to. Hate lost. Hope won.
The Greens winning. Tories losing their deposit (for only second time since 1962). Reform defeated.
67% of folk didnβt vote Reform
or Tory. Labour need to recognise this and stop aping the Right and dragging our discourse and communities down.
