i'm very glad this technology is being forced onto us everywhere on all levels

Do ask any Labour MPs or centrist commentators congratulating Mamdani what they can possibly learn from some of his policies. Like these for instance.

Wes Streeting celebrating Mamdani’s win is so weird.

So farewell Dick Cheney The Democrats hated you then But modern Democrats Would proudly Put you in their cabinet.

It’s fascinating how Mamdani’s campaign is trying to appeal to people‘s best instincts - hope, mutual aid, care for those most in need; whereas Cuomo is trying to appeal to their worst - greed and capitulation to power.

The number of young men intending to vote Reform is wildly exaggerated in the media, but I hope those that were will see this and realise Reform is not a party for the young in any way.

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found Brilliant work from @birminghamdispatch.bsky.social and @manchestermill.bsky.social www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Don’t let them eat cake! Why are they eating cake?

Did anyone actually think this UK govt would do anything nice for young people? They hate Gen Z. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“To ensure the detransition pathway reflects best practice and meets the needs of service users, we are calling for evidence from those with experience supporting individuals who wish to detransition.” Detransitioners need support, but why isn’t the NHS also keen on ‘best practice’ for trans kids?

There’s a certain irony about sitting in Edinburgh council and listening to a deputation (rightly) describe what a scourge rogue landlords are when we have one as Chancellor.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

anti-fascist today. tomorrow. always.

Wes Streeting on the lessons of the Caerphilly defeat - Labour aren't telling a compelling story about who they are, who they're for & what they are driving to do. On the contrary, I'd argue voters have a very good idea who you are, who you're for and what you're doing.

Only in the unlikely event he had the strength to wrestle it away.

This man is an absolute child. I know we all knew that already but… jeez! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My partner used to work under a manager who, when someone asked to see the management, would say, “I’ll go and get them,” then rush off to hide in his office. Everybody hated him as well.

Gonna write a sequel to The West Wing called The East Wing where it’s just a bunch of blundering nepo babies and media stars (led by someone who is both) in a gauche ballroom. I’m sure it’ll work.

Well, it’s official, Andy Burnham will never be Labour Party leader. To do so he’d have to become an MP and Labour can’t win a by-election.

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?

“Holy shit, sorry! I got blood on the mic.” Overheard at Edinburgh Horror Festival.

Looking increasingly unlikely they will stand in Holyrood 26 then.

Are trans rights literally the only area in which this government completely ignores the concerns of business? Time will soon tell.

His answer is so bad. So incredibly bad.

What values is she afraid of straying from? What value has her version of Labour not already betrayed?

We're looking for Edinburgh's next Green councillors! Join Councillors for the first of two in-person workshops to find out more about what the role is all about. Open to members and supporters open to being a council candidate. edinburgh.greens.scot/elections/ed...

The ratio on this is, deservedly, impressive.

Almost 60,000 women have signed this petition by @nionwomen.bsky.social women to say that the transphobes do not speak for them. Meanwhile the Daily Express front-pages seven transphobes, falsely claiming that they “represent women”. If they do not represent you. Please sign. notinourname.org.uk

Does… does Keir Starmer think what he’s doing is a ‘complete rewiring’ of the economy? In what sense is what he’s doing anything like that?

When this article says, “the centre,” it means, “the right,” if not, “the far right.”

Bloomberg calling Zack Polanski ‘the British Zohran Mamdani’

Telegraph, Mail, Express, Jeremy Clarkson etc, please stop saying nasty things about Zack Polanski; the Green Party membership system is struggling to keep up

I didn’t expect the Bell riots to involve: A) so little actual rioting and B) so many inflatable frog costumes. Truly, we live in the weirdest timeline.

Exactly right @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "we support subsidiarity - power should be at the most local possible level. And that has to include a country" Talking to @adamramsay.bsky.social substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Inside our journalism is two wolves

It's really tempting for public service organisations to apologise to right-wing and anti-woke complainants to try and placate them, especially if they're high profile, but you should never do that because they'll just escalate and escalate and escalate. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2555212...

If you are looking for something fun and spooky to do in Edinburgh later this month. The Edinburgh Horror Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary. With nearly 40 different live shows and events there is something for everyone. (The venue however is 18+) www.edhorrorfest.co.uk

It would be outrageous climate vandalism for the Labour government to let Rosebank go ahead. This proposal would do nothing to lower the amount we are forking out to heat their homes. Solidarity with @stopcambo.bsky.social

"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors. [] a Palestinian boy from the West Bank, the same age as Greta, has died in Israeli custody.'

Anyway if you're interested in a left wing movement that wants to deliver real change based in the present and planning for the future, rather than naval-gazing about past glories - Join the Scottish Greens. Joined GPEW already? Good news, you can be a member of both! members.greens.scot/join

There’s no point to staying in the ECHR if our government can’t be criticised for being in breach of it.

If they can do this (I suspect the logistics will be easier said than done) this is actually a very good idea.

Chip in today to elect Q Manivannan – a radical voice to the Scottish Parliament who is ready to fight for change. Any contribution - big or small - will make a huge difference to our people-powered campaign to deliver a record 3 Green MSPs for Edinburgh! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-q-ma...

He‘s gone from being Nero to full on Caligula.

Would it be unfair of me to point out that we have already had a majority SNP Scottish Parliament and it did not result in independence? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Alex Jones voice: They’re turning the freakin‘ frogs antifa!

if i had a nickel for every time Ash Regan had run for leadership of a party, lost, and then quit that party entirely i’d have two nickels, etc, etc

Sounds like ‘right to addiction recovery’ is as big a misnomer as ‘right to work‘ is in the US.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it. Join us and let's make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk
