Multilayered protections for everyone. Yearning for the days when public health protected public health.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Studying the language and literature that has helped to define our nation at home and around the world for centuries is a "rip-off" apparently

A source within MI6 has revealed that MI6 are unhappy with the Palestine Action ban because they are not terrorists and the drain on staff is making the UK more vulnerable to actual terrorist attacks.

End the ridiculous ban.

Reform lied to get elected to Kent County Council.

They promised tax cuts in their election material.

The only tax councils have any real say over is council tax.

Refore are now saying they will increase council tax in Kent.

Failure to deliver on what they promised after just 5 months.

Body slamming, teargas and pepper balls: viral videos show Ice using extreme force in Chicago A facility in Broadview, a mostly Black suburb, has become the site of escalation and β€˜targeted attacks’ on protesters

Kemi Badenoch is taking a page out of Trump’s playbook - she wants a migrant removal force inspired by ICE.

Here’s what ICE does: it uses β€œviolent military-style offensive weaponry against people.”

We don’t want this in Britain. Ever.

Someone without brain fog should do a rigourous comparison of the stories the BBC covers on Reform and the Greens.
I regularly see Farage banging on about immigration but never the Gill scandal or the one about the Reform councillor who threatened Starmer etc etc etc.

Tories confirm plans to cut PIP for mental health claimants The Conservatives have unveiled plans to cut spending on welfare and scrap environmental subsidies

Tories offer Β£47bn austerity - cuts to disability benefits, PIP for mental health claimants, social housing, civil service, regulators, green economy, accompanied by anti-migrant rhetoric.

Won't hike taxes the rich or curb profiteering.

The nasty party heading for the dustbin of history.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forcesβ€”from any state or DCβ€”to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.

If the media covered Palantir/BlackRock's public sector takeover and the rollout of deregulated investment zones with the same intensity as Nigel Farage and immigration, we'd see actual outrage at the seismic corporate power grab secretly remaking Britain. The UK is being privatised.

Politico: Kent County Council controlled by Reform UK, 'is likely to raise council tax rates next year after its cost-cutting β€œDOLGE” program struggled to find savings, the FT reports. Council Cabinet member Diane Morton said local services were already β€œdown to the bare bones”'

Exactly as warned.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

Reform-led Kent county council is set to increase council tax next year. It's almost as if the 'wasteful local authority spending' Farage keeps banging on about isn't really a thing.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

A BBC spokesperson now says they will offer to interview Zack Polanski on the Laura Kuenssberg show "in the coming weeks" after cancelling their planned interview with him during the Green Party conference.

Requests for an interview following his election as Green leader were also denied

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

Zack Polanski: 'Migrants and refugees are welcome here' Green Party leader Zack Polanski has delivered his first conference speech as leader and criticised the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform party.

So Refreshing to have @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social join @eddavey.libdems.org.uk and @libdems.org.uk in welcoming migrants not demonising them

Labour’s shooting itself in both feet with its Reform lite approach
