The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Quite something that the fact 70% of voters seem to have rejected insular nationalism, out and out racism and the removal of workers rights doesn’t even seem to have occurred to Reform.

Long way to go, but still think I’m right in thinking the chances of Farage in No 10 remain non-existent.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

In Gorton and Denton, vote for Hannah Spencer & the Greens.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: by working together.

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).

She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect Β£27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.

She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Horrible.

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

Bloody Beaker people, coming over here in 2400BC…

Britain is an immigrant island. Has been for thousands of years. It's the source of its energy, its vitality, its greatness.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed β€œwar 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.

Zack Polanksi tells Labour deputy leader 'back Greens' in Gorton and Denton The Greens leader has written to Lucy Powell in light of a new poll that puts his party in the lead

It's Greens Vs Reform.

This Thursday we can stop Reform and have a new Green MP in Parliament.

Hannah, the local plumber, who works really hard and will be a brilliant representative for Gorton & Denton.

Our new climate: adapting to survive – and thrive We can’t just react to crises. Strategic adaptation is vital to move from constant disaster recovery to lasting national resilience

Flooded streets, ruined crops, vanishing insurance – this is not tomorrow’s crisis.

@rupertread.bsky.social says the UK is already experiencing the early texture of climate breakdown now, and adaptation is no longer optional but essential.

Am I the only one who thinks that the focus of the media should not be on the implosion of the royal family but on the struggle of Epsteinβ€˜s victims to hold to account those who exploited, demeaned and terrified them?

A reminder to UK broadcasters, just because Reform UK are holding a press conference, it does not mean you need to dedicate so much of your day’s news to it

Electoral reform is the key to Social Democratic renewal With four parties tied in the polls, our first past the post electoral system is failing. How should progressives respond?

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm.
They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination.
A smile and a shrug on BBC News.
What the hell?
FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

It seems that the increase in National Insurance rate was intended to encourage investment in capital (aka AI) rather than people

Now we see the consequent decline in jobs

Why would a *Labour* government do this?

Responding to the priorities of the tech oligarchs, not the needs of working people

Cost of living crisis laid bare as almost half of Britons β€˜have Β£25 at end of week’ Exclusive: Majority of UK adults forced to make difficult choices, with almost two-thirds found to be cutting back on essentials like food and heating

Cost of living crisis laid bare as almost half of Britons β€˜have under Β£25 left at end of week’.

Real average wage unchanged since 2008.

24m Britons live below minimum living standard.

Poverty doesn't provide economic growth, justice, social stability.
