Reform UK for sale. It had to return over £200,000 in donations from 18 ineligible overseas donors. It received £9m from a person in Thailand. Its former Wales leader received 10.5 yrs prison sentence for accepting bribes to promote pro-Russian narratives. Elon Musk promised $100m.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Labour has been pushing lies about the Greens’ policy on reducing drug misuse. This is a policy that has already been very successful in Portugal. It has reduced harmful drug taking by ending the so-called “war on drugs”.

UK median annual wage for employees is £31,056. £25,880 after income tax and NIC. Graduates take home even less. Tax thresholds frozen since 2021. Millions can't afford to buy homes, start family or business. No govt curbs profiteering. Can't build sustainable economy without redistribution.

Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.

Scotland is a welcoming country. We won't let those who profit from hate and division win. On May 7th #VoteScottishGreens

Four years ago we delivered free bus travel for everyone under the age of 22. Now it's time to go further. We're committing to deliver free bus travel for everyone in Scotland - on a bus network that has been brought back under public control. 🚌

BBC bosses don't seem to care their right-wing bias is getting dangerously close to election criminality "The Green Party have slated the BBC after it handed Reform UK their third Question Time slot in a row the week before a crucial by-election in England" via The National Newspaper

Labour lost three council seats last night. 1 each to the Greens, Lib dems and Plaid. Reform were 2nd or 3rd in each. The Greens also won and beat Reform in another local election. So when they say vote Labour to stop Reform, they couldn't be more wrong. Vote almost anyone but Labour to beat Reform.

Wonderful news. Congratulations Aasiya and the Leicester team! 💚🎉 Next stop: Gorton and Denton! 🚀

Former public prosecutor Nazir Afzal on the speed at which the police have acted on Andrew's misconduct allegations compared to the Epstein trafficking allegations: "When the state is the alleged victim, the state moves at pace. When women are the alleged victims, the state takes its time"

I thought Oathbound was the final book 😭 I am actually distraught that it was not. WHAT DO I DO NOW?????

This was to be expected from Labour and the Tories, but it was genuinely disappointing that the SNP refused to stand up for Scotland today, in case it upset Donald Trump. His military breached Scots law and abducted two people from our territorial waters just a few weeks ago. We must respond.

Political donations = corruption. Super-rich buy influence and power. Parties reward them - organize threatening issues off the agenda, provide tax perks to the rich, crony contracts, VIP lanes, honours. Can't have democracy without banning political donations.

Reform: an undeniably racist, misogynistic, transphobic, disability-sceptic party with disturbing links to christofascist MAGA… wants to leave the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act, removing our rights and protections. As red flags go, this is the reddest it gets www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Suella Braverman was Attorney General when the Conservative Party “cancelled” 247 local elections in 2021. These Reform UK MPs are hypocrites.

2 million people in the UK are paid the national minimum wage. Reform are a party of the rich, for the rich.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS. They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.

As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances

Brits would decisively support rejoining the European Union if a new referendum were held, according to the latest polling from YouGov, with clear majorities emerging across all age groups – especially among younger voters www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bri...

When I ran for leader, I said we're going to make the Labour Government more worried about losing seats to the Green Party - than to Reform. We're making this happen in Gorton & Denton. This is about our country. Volunteer in the next 9 days! greenparty.org.uk/get-involved...

The only question worth asking at these incredibly flash Reform press conferences that take place every week now, is who is paying for all of this and what do they want in return bsky.app/profile/pete...

Reform are always obsessively challenging others to debates. But my invitation to debate Nigel Farage - leader to leader - still hasn’t been taken up. What are they running from? The Green Party will stop Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is probably one of the most important pieces I have ever written. Robert Lowe MP is proposing the forced expulsion of millions of people from the UK. Full-on fascism is being put before people. We have to decide. Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

😬Not the best look for Reform’s Gorton & Denton candidate Matt Goodwin White supremacist far right activist says “you've appeared on our podcasts, had dinner with us, had us write for your Substack, and sought our advice on how to write your social media posts” Tad awkward😬

Farage scrabbles around in his grubby little cesspit of cheats, fools and racists and chooses Robert *cash-for-favours* Jenrick as his chancellor. I guess it was between him, a tax dodger or a couple of morons. But still. That “experience of government” is looking very much like the wrong kind…

Gonna post it again... Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

Cost of Privatisation Royal Mail letters sit undelivered 'for weeks', parcels prioritised RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets. Urgent letters missed. Fines passed to customers Profiteering: Price Now: Ist class stamp £1.70; 2nd class 87p. When privatised in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this. If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?

The UK was declared measles free in 2017. Vaccine programs completely eliminated it. Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

Reform's candidate Matthew Goodwin challenged for calling it "insane" to prosecute a man for "start the slaughter. Violence & murder is the only way now. Start off burning every migrant hotel then head to MPs’ houses & Parliament, we need to take over by FORCE’ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.” No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder. Put this man in the bin, not the House of Commons. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." This isn't a dead canary in the coal mine, it's a miner. AI doesn't work. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

They've raised your rent, increased energy prices, and stagnated your wages. The super-rich are exploiting the people of Scotland. The same billionaires are now bankrolling Reform UK. We need to tax the super-rich and return power to our communities. #VoteScottishGreens

“I’ve said it time & time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reform candidate Matt Goodwin The ECHR protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice

Europe and the UK should come closer together – on security, on economy or on defending our democracies. Ten years on from Brexit, our futures are as bound as ever. So, it is in our common interest to be ambitious about our partnership.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Dear UK media, If you’re going to fall for Farage’s every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but he’s lying about the stats too. It’s dangerous and dishonest. Please say so. Thanks A v tired-of-this, UK

We've written to Bridget Phillipson to point out she's legally obliged to reject the EHRC's draft guidance The Government committed in its manifesto to “remove indignities for trans people”. We're asking that they take steps to protect the trans community & correct what the Supreme Court got wrong
