The British public learned something from Iraq and Afghanistan. Apparently some politicians didn’t. While Farage and Badenoch push escalation with Iran, most Britons are saying something very simple: Abso-fucking-lutely not.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

BREAKING: @andyburnham.bsky.social says the Duchy of Lancaster is treating people in the north as “second-class citizens” after failing to support the clean-up of a huge illegal waste dump near Wigan An investigation by Ch 4 News uncovered that the estate of King Charles is connected to the site

As the US/Israel attack on Iran is likely to tip the UK into recession, let's not forget that Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are trashing our rivers, ecosystems, communities, health and resilience for the sake of economic growth. But, as they are now discovering, it's not something they can control.

Good.

Didn't expect Daily Mail to be doing free branding. Lower bills, protect the NHS and fund public services. Can imagine why Lord Rothermere isn't so keen.... Join.greenparty.org.uk

Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza. The message from our political and media class is clear: their lives are less valuable than others. Every human being matters, and every human being deserves a life of peace.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Feels like a day to reup this recent Democracy for Sale story Tony Blair’s Institute privately pressed a top European Union official working on the rebuilding of Gaza to work with Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-t...

Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre. Opportunistic profiteering Companies quick to increase prices, slow to bring them down. Govt must act. Also clawback excess profits through windfall taxes.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war. Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

And here's the clip, thanks to James: bsky.app/profile/jame...

Last week, UK lobbying regulator closed investigation into ex Tory MP Ben Howlett We offered Howlett money to work for a fake Chinese investor. He introduced us to a dozen Labour MPs Regulator didn't even speak to us. Our system is broken New, by me: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/we-paid-an...

Shabana Mahmood has written an opinion piece about immigration for the Guardian. It's like a laundry list of Reform talking points. Read it. Please. That's the only way to understand just how far down the rabbit hole Labour have gone. They are lost. Doomed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse. 1/2

🔥 @grahamformaine.bsky.social : “Watching people who have no idea what any of this looks like or feels like disgusts me… saying we just need to be prepared for more casualties because ‘that’s what happens’ — it’s not what fucking happens to THEM, it’s what happens to US.”

If it hasn't already, it will very soon dawn on most of the USA's allies across the Middle East that nobody was attacking their cities and oilfields until Trump hit Iran. And now suddenly they're all juicy targets of opportunity for a country out for revenge. Trump did that.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling. No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

I saw this earlier and it's shocking - truly shocking that someone can come on free view tv and express these in your face racist views GB NEWS should be taken off the air until they get their house in order.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

Hard to argue

Obscene.

Private equity companies linked to Manchester City owner, and Bono making millions in profit through taxpayer-funded special needs schools. 20%+ profit margins. Children are cash cows. Councils pay up to £350,000 a year to support pupils. Money ends up in offshore tax havens. archive.ph/sY2eJ

🔴 Naz Shah MP on Gorton & Denton Claims: 'How Do Supposedly Sectarian Muslims End Up Voting for a Radically Progressive Party with a Gay Jewish Leader?' The MP for Bradford West told Byline Times: "I know what clan-based politics looks like, I have a history of fighting it, this isn't what this is"

As Starmer proudly told us 'Labour is the party of business' no long the party for workers, women, minorities no long the party for the sick, disabled, old no long the party of equality, fairness, justice Business and its corrupt policy buying donations trumps them all meme via Peter Symons

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all. Thanks, Zack Polanski

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV

Totally this. The rightwing hate “journalists” are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

The fight back begins…stick one on every lamp post.

France’s Engie to buy UK Power Networks for £10.5bn. Much of UK infrastructure is foreign owned - water, energy, ports, airports, mail, vets, hospitals, care homes, mines, shipbuilding. Rip-off practices follow. Govts have fewer economic levers. City prefers speculation to investment.

✅ Hope HAS WON! 💪 Only the GREENS can take on Farage 🇬🇧 Politics has changed forever 🪠 Hannah the Plumber is now Hannah Spencer the MP for Gorton and Denton! 🐝 The FIRST NORTHERN GREEN MP 🥀 Labour have been replaced 🚫 Reform's rise has been halted. Hate has been defeated.

Despite being continually accused of not integrating, Muslims have voted in numbers, and against a party with a Muslim Home Sec whose immigration policies and actions regarding Gaza they strongly opposed.Instead they found common value with a white British woman who spoke to them locally and beyond.

BREAKING: “This bluntly is going to be a story that will really scare Labour MPs because what you’re seeing is a massive drop in the Labour vote .. Labour voters have quite clearly gone to the greens in this by-election”

Gorton & Denton is the Greens 127th target seat @zackpolanski.bsky.social on why the Greens won there.

NEWS! Gorton & Denton result suggests key Reform policy of being horrible c**ts may have backfired newsthump.com/2026/02/27/g...

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK. The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party. Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Now watch the billionaire media throw all the dirt it can at the Greens, who could thwart its dream of a Farage government.

'I didn't grow up wanting to be a politician, I'm a plumber' The green Party's Hannah Spencer has won the Gorton and Denton, with Reform in second and Labour finished third

"Ministers need to wake up." Indeed. Some shift away from the exceptional levels of overseas recruitment 21-24 was natural/desirable. But current "strategy" - no new visas and making life as unpleasant as possible for migrants already here - is madness. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Because your father stole from thousands of pensioners, and because your sister was part of a hideous and abusive system of sexual abuse that ruined lives. No, we don’t feel sorry for you. And we bloody shouldn’t.

Jeez. Just listen to this on the appalling student loans crisis “How much did you borrow?” “£84,000...” “…how much do you owe now?” “£110,000” Max Linford discusses how much his student loan has risen despite paying off £8000 since graduating in 2023. #Newsnight

Labour MP Richard Burgon has called for all student debt to be cancelled "It's time for a serious discussion about cancelling student debt," he said "This is breaking a whole generation"

Lower bills. Protect the NHS. Rebuild public services. Vote Hannah Spencer & the Green Party.

It's Reform Vs the Green Party. Vote for the Green Party. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
