Green weeps for greyhounds

What has the Daily Mail got against greyhounds?

You can catch our podcast on @boldpolitics.bsky.social

With over a million plays a month, watch/listen to Gorton & Denton candidate Hannah Spencer on all streaming platforms now.

Here is an explanation on why Jewish Greens (who obviously don't speak for every single Jewish person in the party, etc) are so opposed to the Zionism is Racism motion brought to the #GreenParty's spring conference.

Good to see he's adopting the Greens' position on NATO, even while criticising the Greens' position on NATO.

I mean he can be bought for as little as £65 to say anything. Remember the “up the RA” cameo

Grow what and for what purpose?

The daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.

Many people on this platform just aren't getting it.
The jig is up.
The party's over.
Unless Labour MPs eject Starmer PDQ, recover Labour values, show how they'll fix our chronic problems, give us hope and inspiration instead of disappointment and frustration, they're finished.
No more denial. ⏰👃☕

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Maybe we should expand our teaching. But then we would be spreading trans ideology

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We have to tighten up the way parties are funded starting by only allowing individuals to donate

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

…and in Byker, Walker, Walkergate and a number of wards across Newcastle.

As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says, “Labour is yesterday’s news”.

Out knocking on doors today in Byker, I spoke to a number of people who voted Labour last time but are now definitely voting Green.

This is what everybody in the UK needs.

Too many believe rhetoric and headlines.

Look deeper and you will see this is the true party of the people. 🙏💚

They are so used to forcing candidates onto local parties, they don’t understand how grass roots works

Hannah will be an excellent MP and a brilliant representative for her community.

The Labour vote is collapsing in Gorton and Denton. This is Green Vs Reform.

Help us get Hannah elected! 💚👇

The UK paid £4.1 million for a bookmarks site Or, as they like to call it, the 'AI Skills Hub'. Which was built by PwC because of course it was

Hang on, I had missed the fact that the AI Skills Hub cost £4m. mahadk.com/posts/ai-ski... If this wasn't tax payers' money it would be quite funny. Also, can only assume PWC spent some time rolling around in gold because they did NOT spend it on building this

Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035 Campaigners pushing for 2030 deadline said deferral was ‘denying renters the most basic standards in our homes’

WHY is this government content to leave private renters stuck in homes not fit for habitation for another DECADE?

The state of private rented homes is appalling. Renters deserve better than this disappointment from Labour.

Once again, these people aren't "patriots". They hate their own countries and have built an entire career out of attacking them, while cheering on any foreign leader who does the same

If today you're thinking, I want a party that's:

- rising in the polls
- focused on tackling the cost of living
- and genuinely democratic

Love this.

To snatch a five year old carrying a school bag from the street and tell the parents nothing as you send that child to a prison thousands of kilometres away is unalloyed evil.

Every person in this chain of command should be prosecuted. Every single one. They have to be.

Dr. Gladys West, Mathematician Whose Work Made GPS Possible, Dies at 95 ALEXANDRIA, VA — Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She passed away

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

DHS: It is horrific to see radical agitators bring children to their violent riots. PLEASE STOP ENDANGERING YOUR CHILDREN. ABC News • @ABC• 7h Two children, including a 6-month-old, were hospitalized last night after federal agents deployed tear gas during Wednesday night's protests, according to the Minneapolis Office of Community Safety.... 7:32 AM • 1/16/26 • 145

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Good stuff

Well fuck me backwards what a sight. I can't believe that was only an hour and fifteen. It felt like seven years. I hope you all enjoyed watching Robert Jenrick's soul leave his decaying fetid fucking human body.
