Labour's appeasement of the (far) right wing press looks like it's going well.

Tweet from Tommy Robinson: Kobi Nazrul primary school in London's East End has been named as the the first in the UK where NONE of the children's first language is ENGLISH. The school sits in a quiet side street off the busy Commercial Road in Whitechapel - a district once synonymous with Jack the Ripper and the Kray twins and home to the nation's true Cockneys, now this.

Tommy Robinson fondly invoking the days when the East End was run by gangsters and women were in danger of being killed

That lead climbs and climbs, slowly but relentlessly…

England’s swimming waters five times more likely to be polluted than in EU, research finds Experts warn country is in danger of becoming ‘dirty man of Europe’ as it falls to bottom of bathing water leaderboard

💥 NEW RESEARCH FROM @bestforbritain.org 💥

Once again, when it comes to environmental regulation, enforcement and protecting people’s health, the European Union leads the charge.

🥀 Will Labour keep taxing the poorest - or properly tax the super-rich?

✅️ We know where we stand.

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

Too timid.

A new customs union by 2030 won't save England's economy, or restore confidence in a political class that massively devalued the British passport.

Ed should be calling for Single Market membership in very short order, and a humble application to rejoin the EU soon after.

#Brexit

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

This is Rupert Murdoch printing this.

Why do we still have Brexit?

NEW POLL: This is quite the turnaround.

A majority would vote to Remain - and by a long way.

In fact, if you were to remove “don’t know” & “wouldn’t vote”, that’s 64% vs 36% in a referendum.

Are you fucking kidding me? He wanted to leave! He provided fuck all opposition to Brexit.

This is no better than Reform promising mad shit but the difference is, unlike JC, Reform can win, even under FPTP but especially with the emergence of Corbyn’s party.

He just keeps helping Farage.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

Free speech update. Local schoolchildren made a banner saying "Epping welcomes all except racists". The Homeland Party [their Norfolk organiser] says his members have taken and burnt it, sharing the image of burning the anti-racist message on social media, to emphasise their commitment to racism.

Join the Green Party Join the Green Party from just £6 a year. Become a member today - join the only party with the policies needed to tackle the climate crisis.

Today would be a very good day to join the Green Party I reckon: join.greenparty.org.uk

Leaving the Labour Party and then joining the Greens a few years ago has never looked like a better decision. There are some very good people in Labour who must be ashamed of the current government.

Headline says 2 in 5 arrested for summer riots had been reported for domestic abuse

Turns out a lot of those who riotied last summer are violent morons who beat up their partners. Who could have guessed?

Makes me want to weep how much my country has turned away from the spirit that we shared for those few weeks in 2012. We have replaced openness, optimism and confidence with gloom, phobia and hate. What - or who - went wrong?

It's great to see @europeanmovement.co.uk, of which I am Vice Chair, making the connection between protecting the environment and being members of the European Union. Since #Brexit the UK has fallen badly behind in water and air quality. We need to #RejoinEU.

Epping asylum hotel protesters ‘upset for legitimate reasons’, minister says Jonathan Reynolds says ‘I understand the frustrations people have’, as police brace for further unrest

This is a mindless and dangerous comment from the Government

If they are upset for 'legitimate reasons' why are they targeting asylum seekers and not protesting outside the Home Office

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This image of a delivery rider, framed as a threat, highlighting asylum seeker hotel addresses and offering to “take action” puts all marginalised and exploited delivery riders at risk, whether seeking asylum or not.

Extraordinarily divisive and dangerous from a Labour Party Prime Minister.

Deliveroo and Home Office join forces against illegal migrant workers Government to share details of hotels that house asylum seekers with food delivery companies in bid to target unlawful working

While Farage incites violence against legal asylum seekers, the government prepares to share their location more widely

Another inhumane gimmick

The Green Party would allow those awaiting refugee status to work legally, contributing to our economy and their welfare

One of these days a senior politician will actually say something positive about the 10 million people living and working in the UK who happen to have been born abroad, but that day is not today

We will never rejoin the EU until we start trying to rejoin the EU.

After that, it may be quick or it may take a long time, but we'll be on our way.

But if Labour drag their feet the rest of this term, that's four more years minimum (and likely decades) until we even make a start.

I just signed this petition calling for better cooperation with the EU on the environment. Will you add your name, too? www.europeanmovement.co.uk/uk-eu-enviro...

Very excited to see launch of new @europeanmovement.co.uk campaign on climate & nature. A closer environmental partnership with the EU would improve health, restore nature & reduce carbon emissions & energy bills - please do sign & share the petition to help build pressure for change 👇
