People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society. The problem is... they're not allowed. Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.

Couldn't agree more. There's a long way to go to change what uk politics has become. But the Greens and @zackpolanski.bsky.social are leading the way and have a huge amount of support. We just want decent, caring policies. A country not led by a handful of the mega rich. Is that too much to ask?

This morning I laid a wreath of red and white poppies at Bristol’s #RemembranceSunday service. Every November, I choose to wear both a red and a white poppy: red to help those who have been affected by war, and white to work for peace.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If Reform can go from nought to sixty in 5 seconds (in terms of support & prominence) why can’t the millions of left-leaning people do exactly the same for @greenparty.org.uk ? It’s not beyond the realms of possibility. The old two-party monopoly is dead. Be part of the change. ✊💚

Why the Caerphilly by-election result shows Nigel Farage's party is much weaker than most of the coverage of Reform suggests bylinetimes.com/2025/10/24/t...

Time to take on the Daily Mail and this Labour Government. Let's keep growing our movement with the joy of knowing we all deserve so much better - and we can make it happen. Time to join.greenparty.org.uk

Maybe it’s because some cats bite their brother’s butts!?

A dog whistle so loud even cats could hear it

Exactly! It's a simple solution. It's the only solution. Help those in need by providing safe passage for those fleeing war and famine. Other criteria for the economic migrants that we desperately need here. Deal with all the decisions and paperwork where they need it.

THIS!

It's nice to preach and thunder on from the pulpit/lectern, but so far Starmer has yet to actually *do* something concrete... and his moral language falls awfully short when it comes to dealing with a certain country committing a certain act of genocide.

Easy answer to this - they are like dogs pissing on lampposts to indicate "my territory you're not welcome". We need a new English flag for sporting events etc. This one will for ever be tainted by the racists. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Lab minister Peter Kyle said about yesterday's fascist march - “That flag means a lot of different things to a lot of people, but it is about essential British and English values and principles.” The fascists claimed the cross of St George to mark what they see as their territory. Not my values.

"What the fuck?" is pretty much the only response to this. 😢 America is ruined. There's no hope if this is considered 'free speech' and not incitement to murder.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting. To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage. To show Britain is better than this. Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.

Humanists maintain that morality comes from our evolution – our our ability to work in groups for survival – not from any god. Here's our patron Stephen Fry talking more about the humanist approach to morality in #thatshumanism

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

They have 4 MPs. We are four years away from a GE. Yet our broadcast media is talking like they’re a government in waiting? This over platforming must end and end now! We have other parties and they must be heard. Sign here now. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With no checks and balances, the dickhead in charge of the VERY POORLY REGARDED USA decides that there will never again be a fair/ independent election in his lifetime. When he loses the midterms by a landslide he'll just declare the vote illegal. FFS when will you take action against this fascist?

BBC Today is reporting that “at least 94” data centres will be built in the next 5 years in the U.K. How can we possibly justify doing that when we can’t get a full electric car charging network built, & the power infrastructure is insufficient to connect new wind farms, never mind water shortages

The hard way again Lionesses! Please stop doing this to us! #EnglandWomen

What is a humanist? Well, let us get you started!

In all seriousness, the expectation that BBC science programming, or classroom resources, ought to say 'Or maybe God did it, IDK' would fatally undermine what science is fundamentally about. Scientific explanations that those supported by evidence, not belief. We don't teach creationism in science.

Is the UK really seeing a religious revival? Not so fast. New scrutiny reveals that the Bible Society’s claims of 'surging church attendance' among Gen Z don’t hold up to the evidence. Public debate deserves facts. 🧵 humanists.uk/2025/07/15/r...

Brilliantly put!

Just because pride month has ended, it doesn't mean our support of the LGBTQ+ community should stop. It's time for brands to put their money where their mouth is and stand up for the community all year round 🌈

Wanting to beat Trump politically is like trying to win against a team that brings its own referees, doesn't stick to any rules, dismantles its goal, slide-tackles the opposition from behind, & shouts: "I have been fouled!"

Thou shalt not let people be murdered at home for their political beliefs and just “move on.” Thou shalt not let children be murdered at school for trying to learn and just “move on.” Thou shalt never stop fighting to make these horrors end.

I find the provision of third spaces as a “solution“ to banning trans people from bathrooms so offensive and dunno about y’all but im not gonna participate in my own segregation

There is an easy “solution“ to this “problem“ and its to just accept us in society and not give in to bigoted fearmongering

The world of self fulfilling prophecies strikes again and it’ll continue to strike. Reform have soared, well what a surprise! We hear nothing from the other parties as our broadcast media becomes Reform’s mouthpiece. Sign this petition, pass it round. Crucial! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Miss you always Old Man. 😢 Happy Fathers Day.

Straight from cosplaying Reform to cosplaying Churchill! We are NOT at war. We need to continue to back Ukraine to the absolute max. And boost cybersecurity and other unconventional defence such as AI and drone swarms. But the prospect of Britain becoming engaged in a shooting war is zero.

What a nasty, sordid nest of vipers to have festering within the party! Labour could do themselves a huge favour and bin Blue Labour. It would be a very strong signal that they're walking away from their Reform cosplaying days. If instead they listen, well... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gareth Price came across a Fox cub out exploring. Very characterful ears!

I’m yelling at my radio again. WHY is Nick Robinson asking whether the small gains forecasted for the new EU agreement was “worth stirring up the hornets nest” of Brexit ? Are we all supposed to cower in the corner, afraid of Farage and his gullible followers for ever?

I'm hiding because the mummies were mean to me and told me 3 helpings of treats were enough for 1 afternoon. Plan is I'll jump out later and they'll be so pleased to find me, the treats will flow. Clever eh?! What do you mean, "There you are lard arse". That's not very nice! Ok, cuddles will do.

At some point we’ve got to address the large number of retired pensioners, they need the tax receipts from younger workers to pay their pensions, healthcare, social care etc (rightly so). I just can’t see how that’s sustainable without immigration right now

🧵 Let me tell you about my dad's #care workers, who - picked up countless plates of food he threw around the room - wiped up his vomit when he drank too quickly - answered his question "How old am I?" patiently a million times a day - repaired the fridge door he unhinged at night

Roughly 17,000 councillors in the UK. Nearly 6500 Labour. Just over 5000 Tory. 3000 Lib Dem. Reform have 799 and suddenly N.F. is being touted by the media as the next Prime Minister? The Green Party have 850 councillors. Why aren't the Green Party being bigged-up by the press? Seriously, why?

Making the most of the Bank Holiday.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... I'd love to see some detailed analysis as to why people have started to vote like this. She's an appalling woman, not bright enough to run a bath yet they've given her all that power. Is it simply a protest vote? Extremely naive if it is.
