Is she touring a detention centre in a £500 Karen Millen coat? I saw this and immediately thought of Tilda Swinton's Minister Mason.

"I am a hat. You are a shoe. I belong on the head. You belong on the foot. Yes? So it is."

Brrzapp...that isn't part of our calculations...it does not compute. Bzzz crackle...

They really don't have an answer now the "vote for a lesser evil" BS is not something they are sure they can rely on. Like the Tories, chasing Reform has left them with nothing. They just haven't realised it yet.

It might appear loss making financially but it's contributed to the overton window shifting in the UK. I expect that will prove an even more lucrative return on investment in a future where there's a Deform government.

I don't want to trivialise the horror of what's happening...but this take is right on the money

Letters of love - Not in our name Letters of love and support sent to the trans+ community from their friends, allies and families

This campaign from @nionwomen.bsky.social deserves a bump…

Labour is stubborn in defeat because it knows this: we face the belated end of the political 20th century | John Harris In Gorton and Denton, I heard again and again that people wanted seismic political change – Labour and the Tories are no longer part of that conversation, says Guardian columnist John Harris

"Whereas so-called 'red wall' residents who have moved to the right have been lionised by Labour insiders as 'hero voters' to be chased and never criticised, Labour-Green switchers must apparently be scolded for being seduced by indulgent and reckless gesture politics."

(2/2) The National Emergency Briefing was commissioned to present the latest evidence, and build an irresistible call for the Government to stage a televised briefing, launch an emergency response, and help lead global action.

Have they started a crowdfunder yet, to grift back the £500 deposit they lost?

It's so refreshing to see your interviews @zackpolanski.bsky.social (and Hannah Spencer's too). They really don't know how to respond. You're showing what they're actually about. Their uncritical parroting of lies and half truths. More propaganda than journalism. Thank you for bringing HOPE. 💚💚💚

Why hasn't Clive Lewis joined the green party yet? 💚💚💚

So refreshing!

"The horizon leans forward,
Offering you space to place new steps of change.
Here, on the pulse of this fine day
You may have the courage
To look up and out upon me,
The rock, the river, the tree, your country." ~ Maya Angelou

💯 this! Yeah that's how the shifting overton window works.

I have seen the scale of the mountain Labour has to climb in Gorton and Denton – but also the way it can do it | Polly Toynbee In focus groups, people are clear they want to stop Farage at all costs. Labour must now reach out to the progressives it has disappointed, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Polly Toynbee's solution to Labour's self inflicted right wing problems? The same old "vote for the lesser evil" and reliance on tactical voting.

Pssst...There's an elephant in the room to your left. Can you not see it? It's huge. It's called the Green Party 💚

Their transphobia and cruelty is free. We only think that it's a compromise or change in their position because of Labour's election winning lies. Their position now like before the election is transphobia.

💯 this. Came here to say this and you've said it far better than I ever could.

LAs already struggle to complete EHCP reviews and assessments under the current process due to their strained resources. I know this through direct experience.

I don't see how this can work. It just seems like they're covering up their intention to remove funding and take away provision in advance

She hasn't had to support a child with PDA. If she had she wouldn't write this BS. Either that or her child would have serious challenges whenever they needed support from her and it would probably be unsafe for them.

Welcome 💚💚💚

💯

And if it's not BS they say stuff like this and then just crack on with the cruelty. Not expecting them to change course anytime soon. I don't really see how they can recover after the bare faced lies.

Playgrounds would become crack dens if greens were in power policing minister says.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”.

Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Hannah Barnes saying "it's a question for clinicians and doctors to work out." #r4today

Up to now it's been for Hannah Barnes, Newsnight, the BBC, Woman's Hour, judges and obscurely funded anti trans groups posing as feminists with suspiciously high level access to government to work out.

Help us support Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute to remain inclusive | Good Law Project We’re offering to defend the Women’s Institute and Girlguiding against trans exclusion

Girlduiding and Women's Institute say the law forces them to exclude trans women. But that's not true.

We are offering to indemnify them against legal risk if they change course.

If they remain trans exclusive, their members can know it's management's ideological choice.

That's pretty much all the fascists do (inc Badenoch). Identity and grievance politics. They project it on to everyone else but especially convenient target minorities.

31% undecided. How do you convince them that they need to vote Green.
