In the end, authoritarian rule hinges on whether the military chooses to back the law and constitution, or the authoritarian. That point is now in the US, and we don't know which way it will go. This is a reminder to us all about how democracy falls. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Trump administration wants you to stop watching the BBC and watch GB News instead. Meanwhile this is what passes for “journalism” on GB News…

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Labour were broken a long time ago. Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires. A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them. Time to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"hard left disruptors." Or just give a crap about people? And want things to be affordable. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Let's make this happen. Together. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/pol...

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

My comment? I'm proud of Green councillors who are doing everything they can to bring attention to stopping the genocide. www.thejc.com/news/uk/hack...

It’s not just that Sarah Pochin’s comments were racist – they reveal that she lives in a world where she believes racism is acceptable. Is that Reform UK? Or is it Talk TV, where she made the comments? https://bit.ly/4hvIO1F

They gained more than 6000 members in a single day. There are now more Green members than members of the Conservative Party and their membership is more than double the reported membership of the LibDems. www.thenational.scot/news/2555611...

Sorry you've been a victim of fake news. I said this morning to @vicderbyshire.bsky.social that the Green Party had passed 123,000 members. A couple of hours later it's out of date. @greenparty.org.uk have 126,000! 🎉🚀 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Tomorrow I'll be on Laura Kuenssberg. Will I be able to say "I can announce the Green Party have just overtaken the Tories in members!"? It's tantalisingly close to happening! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION YET? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Gloves are off. Looks like we've entered the 'dump Starmer' phase. Good. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We all need to be having these conversations.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Starmer became Labour leader by promoting views he has abandoned. He got to be PM by promising change but continued tory clown policy. If Starmer survives Labour's party conference, what is Labour for, other than a Farage warm up act? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A part of me hopes Labour members will take back control of their party this autumn, which, in government, is doing all it can to legitimise the viewpoint of the far right. The realist in me suggests it's too late, and something big has to happen. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Appalling response from Starmer. Had to watch it twice to believe it. And Angela Rayner staring into a void like she’s being held hostage. It’s just sad.

Starmer's anti-immigrant speech today wasn't just a moral and political embarrassment. It was also an intellectual embarrassment. inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

"Even if it does work as a strategy for winning the next election, there’s a question: why bother?" A bit by me on the sheer, infuriating pointlessness of a Labour leadership that sees governing in a progressive way as a distracting from fighting the next election.

Trump is now getting fully Liz Truss'ed. The bond markets brought her down in short order and the bottom appears to be 'liquidating' pretty quickly across the pond now.

Reality check. Thank you, Financial Times.

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

NATO was born out of the ashes of a European war started by a dictator enabled by Appeasement. Those who do not learn from history risk repeating it.

When something is a success, people like to associate themselves with it. So it's noticeable how quiet the Brexiters are. inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Macron urges a new European military coalition as an alternative to NATO to help combat Russia and other threats. "We can't rely on (the US) or rest of the world." The plan is to create a European army with France, UK, Italy, Poland, Baltic states and everyone who seeks to join.

Company established by Musk in the UK 3 weeks ago on December 12th!! Why we wonder!! Pull your finger out @uklabourparty.bsky.social, grow some balls and stop even more "corruption" destroying what's left of our democracy Right now you have a majority the likes of which you might never see again

Musk’s abuse of the Twitter algorithm is increasingly blatant. There is an animal videos site I follow (I know). No sooner had I finished watching a wombat than it automatically moved on to a video of Tommy Robinson ranting about grooming gangs. And this was on the feed I had nominally chosen myself

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.
