The deportations are about to turn into detentions.

There isn’t money in deporting folks, but there is in detaining them…

Some believe grassroots activism and campaigning don’t qualify you to be a strong deputy leader πŸ€”

I couldn’t disagree more

The @greenparty.org.uk needs leaders who are grounded in real action, not just titles and 'power'

Proud to see our current deputy leader consistently leading by example 🌱 ✊🏼

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

Trying to figure out Labour's principles in 2025...

Balancing the books on the back of disabled people and those who care for them is cruel and wrong.

There is no moral case for making benefit cuts the priority for a Labour Government.

β€œThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. β€œThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Keir Starmer urged to 'come clean' over meeting with US spy tech firm Palantir CONCERNS have been raised over Keir Starmer’s recent meeting with US spy tech firm Palantir ...

"This is a truly shocking conflict of interest.

Is Peter Mandelson visiting Palantir as a representative of the Government - or as an emissary of his ugly lobbying group looking after his own financial interests?" www.thenational.scot/news/2497842...

Netanyahu has just threatened "unimaginable consequences" under operation "hell plan" for Gazans. The fragile ceasefire hangs in the balance. Britain must make crystal clear: this is absolutelyΒ unacceptable. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here β€œillegally” on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most to use takes cynicism to new heights. If Govt thinks such performative cruelty will see off Reform, they’re wrong - it’s more likely to strengthen it

The two main things fuelling Reform are dissatisfaction with immigration policy and dissatisfaction with/distrust in politics/the system. It's odd that the big two parties only ever go in for the fight they can't win (you just can't out anti-immigration Reform), with no real interest in the other.

So relieved to hear that Gaie Delap is finally home. Gaie is a peaceful climate protester who spent Christmas in prison because the private company in charge of security monitoring couldn't find a tag to fit her. I know her friends and family will be overjoyed to have her home.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

Look at Labour’s acts of environmental vandalism and ask: did I vote for this? | George Monbiot Our rivers, our wildlife, the air we breathe: the government is sacrificing all to the insatiable god of GDP – and mocking our objections, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Even the Tories were better on the Environment than this Labour government.

Want growth, why not build the hospitals we need?

It shows growth Labours prioritising is from "predatory lobbyists."

This is so precise from the brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
