This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party.

Just remember that as they continue to attack us.

This is who they are. Mask is off.

Questions about Mandelson, his heinous crimes and how much Starmer knew.

Dan Norris, elected as Lab MP, arrested - 2 counts of rape.

Tulip Siddiq sentenced to 4 years.

I wonder why Labour have made 3 attack videos about me in the last 24 hours?

They're done. Finished. Toast.

Let's talk about who funds Reform.

Let's talk about how disastrous Brexit has been.

Let's talk about why Gorton & Denton must vote Green & stop Reform.

Why so quiet, Nigel Farage?

Reform byelection candidate refuses to disown claim that people born in UK not necessarily British Matthew Goodwin, who is standing in Gorton and Denton, said UK-born people from minority ethnic backgrounds were not always British

Reform are now saying that Black and Asian and other ethnic minorities are not necessarily British, even if they were born here.

Think about that.

This is literally one of the first steps on the road that leads to fascism and concentration camps.

Birmingham appears to have abandoned most implementation of road traffic and environmental regulations. Private vehicles commonly driven at excessive speeds, clog bus lanes, routinely parked at bus stops, on corners, on lawns, on pavements, blocking pedestrians. Pedestrians have lost all to vehicles

X / Twitter should be banned over the whole #deepfakes issue anyway - but for a US congresswoman to threaten to sanction us if we do is all the more reason to do it.
The US bullying and threats need to be stood up to.

โ€˜We were missing in the conversationโ€™: how Zack Polanski hit on plan to beat Reform at their own game This time last year Polanski was barely known outside the party. Now heโ€™s hoping for success at Mayโ€™s local elections โ€“ by taking a page from Nigel Farageโ€™s playbook

We're challenging this terrible Labour Government.

And we're ready to take on Reform.

Zack Polanski: spend ยฃ400m on kindness to channel migrants.

Zack Polanski: spend ยฃ400m on kindness to channel migrants.

The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here.

1) We're not calling for ยฃ476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping.

2) Why "cruelty" in question? The ยฃ476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.

UK politics: Polanski claims Green support surging in London as five Labour councillors defect in Brent โ€“ as it happened Party leader says Labour โ€˜has abandoned any sense of progressive politicsโ€™

They can change leader but the problem is the hundreds of corporate lobbyists who are Labour MPs.

Seeing UK Labour try to claim Zohran Mamdaniโ€™s victory as a win for their political stances etc, is darkly funny, given that if he was British, he would have been hounded out of Labour asap, that not a single thing one his platform they would be onboard with.

Spoiler alert: none of it is going to be 'inherited' by you or me.

A wealth tax is the only way to close the inequality gap and fund our services properly.
