(VERY) Part time musician/composer. Left wing but not utopian, democratic (not the party, the ideal) and that in itself has left wing implications.

So much energy from Green Party Conference.
Great to hear about all the local parties in England & Wales calling up their new members, inviting them to action days and getting people involved.
Let's go! 💚🚀

BBC Radio 4 Today takes the political temperature in Manchester by interviewing a cross section of the population … in a golf club
Next, a representative survey of US public opinion in Mar a Lago?
Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".
No, me neither.
Seeing lots of this tonight after that party political broadcast.
The Green Party are on track to overtake the Tories in membership.

Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.
We've already seen judges and lawyers being targeted as "enemies of the people". This increases risk of threats/attacks, while undermining judiciary as a whole. Couple it with Tory plans to scrap immigration tribunals and legal aid for people seeking asylum and it shows utter contempt for the law.

Absolutely shameful.
He'll probably become Tory leader.
Greta Thunberg will be in history books. never stop Greta. you are a beacon of hope. More guts than every leader in this world.

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.🧵

More 💩from transphobes. Falsely claiming research supports conversion practices, when the research explicitly condemns conversion therapy as "psychologically damaging" and linked to suicide.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.
That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.
This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.
Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.
Well I have been known to refer to Trump as a turd in human form.
No. It's not funny but it tells the (not literal) truth IMO.
Fascists deny climate change because they cannot control it. They can’t bend the laws of physics to their ideology. And so they pretend it isn’t real. Our task - as citizens, as voters, as people of conscience - is to prove them wrong.

And he’s back!!
Sunday isn’t Sunday without Stewart Lee. We were so thrilled at @thenerve.news that Stewart came with us.
His satirical columns for the Observer were some of our most-read content: funny, surreal, angry true. Essential weekend reading.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
Another day of Reform UK silence on Nathan Gill.
Nigel Farage
Richard Tice
Dr David Bull
Paul Nuttall
All served as MEPs alongside him, all members of UKIP and Reform UK.
Did they know?
The silence is deafening.
