Ignore the Labour sideshow and #VoteGreen to defeat Reform in Gorton and Denton.

There’s only one way to get the electoral system we want, and that is to vote for the parties we want. The bookies think the Greens will win the Gorton and Denton by-election. While Labour offers disappointment and frustration, and Reform offers hatred, they offer hope and inspiration.

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

Peter Mandelson, Palantir & government cosying up to tech billionaires: NHS contract is key, but many more questions to ask, I said in #HouseofLords. Response: "If there is anything in these papers at all to indicate that further investigation to get to the truth is needed, that will be taken."

Yes, of course Epstein had extensive Israeli connections, but the Russian ones are just evidentially more extensive — that was where the money and trafficable women were

If you can get to Manchester, great! If you can't, you can still help to make sure Hannah Spencer beats the Reform candidate and becomes the next wonderful MP for Gorton & Denton Here's the page to make your contribution: gorton-denton.greenparty.org.uk?link_id=1&ca...

In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

And Keir Starmer made him ambassador to the US. Madness that the potential fallout of Mandelson's involvement with Epstein (which was well known) was never foreseen. Shows an incalculable lack of judgement.

@mattmgallagher.bsky.social in Feb's @bylinetimes.bsky.social has a great piece on the US Democrats & the autopsy on the Harris campaign: quoting Christopher Cook - 'chasing moderate Republicans, while neglecting the Democratic base'. Precisely what UK Labour are doing now - neglecting their base!

Keir Starmer and his team repeatedly ignored and stonewalled questions about Peter Mandelson's relationship with Epstein, pushing ahead with making him ambassador anyway. Here's my report on it from last year bylinetimes.com/2024/01/04/k...

Probably not what the song meant, but the red flag is certainly flying here

Kuenssberg praises the rise of The Greens Zack Polanski, "People have had enough of the Labour and Conservatives, want an alternative"

Reform Kent council spends £600k on eight free parking spaces for senior councillors

Jeremy Clarkson fumes Nigel Farage will 'solve NOTHING' in savage Reform UK attack: 'Voters will be DISAPPOINTED!'

BREAKING: Iran’s supreme leader warned the United States that if “they start a war, this time it will be a regional war.” The comments from the 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are the most-direct threat he’s made so far.

UK child poverty up 34% in a decade. Families can't afford the cost of food, rent, childcare, heating, essentials. 72% of poor children live in working families. Secure jobs, universal basic income/services, curbs on profiteering, free school meals would help. Must eradicate parental poverty.

When is a fine on a company not a fine? When it is levied on England's water companies with nearly 1,200 criminal convictions. Headline grabbing fines are announced but not collected for years, not even paid. No pressure on water companies to obey laws. Water companies indulged by govt. Why?

Hannah will be an excellent MP and a brilliant representative for her community. The Labour vote is collapsing in Gorton and Denton. This is Green Vs Reform. Help us get Hannah elected! 💚👇 donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/parliamentar...

Great reception to Green message on the doorsteps of Denton & at Longsight Market - voting Greens is clearly seen as best way to stop the hate-filled politics of Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Bumping into the Guardian’s @johnharris1969.bsky.social was an added bonus 🙂

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote": 1. Things have changed. 2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit) 3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

A Green victory in the Gorton and Denton by-election would feel like divine justice.

The Polanski bounce STILL shows no sign of letting up!

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? R: No

Only the greatest living American composer. Wow

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Zack Polanski said Goodwin had a track record of anti-Muslim bigotry & his candidacy was an insult to constituents. Polanski, whose party is the bookies’ favourite to win, has characterised the byelection as a fight between Reform & the Greens, describing it as a battle for the soul of our country.

"A gov report states that every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse, and its unlikely the UK will maintain food security. Labour has given up on the Tories target for 30% of our land and sea to be protected for nature by 2030. This gov is a threat to our survival." shorturl.at/kKDzf

Private equity – “decimated” US hospitals – now targeting the NHS. Neglected investment Asset-stripping Staff/Wage cuts Tax dodges Profiteering Didn't pay suppliers leading to lack of equipment, disposables Lack of food for patients Building maintenance neglected High patient reinfections

He should never have been hired.

Here’s the lesson of the Andy Burnham saga: Labour needs a new leader. Even Toynbee is abandoning Starmer Need policies not cults. Pledges that mean something. Inclusivity not authoritarianism. Redistribution, not trickle-down. Public ownership of essentials. Public welfare over corporate welfare.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

National insurance hike and energy bills behind food price rise, say UK retailers. No mention of the role of private equity ownership of supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. No mention of profiteering, exec pay, dividends or profit shifting to dodge taxes.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

The EU has finalised its ban on Russian gas – but there's a huge risk of just replacing this gas with supplies from the US and elsewhere, continuing pollution and leaving Europe open to extortion It's time for an end to fossil fuels, and a move to 100% renewables and cutting energy waste

Psst. Greens are best placed to beat Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Pass it on. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bet...

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election? Reform winning? Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about. They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

Now destroyed for the second time in 14 years. And its won't be the last time. Climate change is making these storms and the resulting damage more extreme. We can't build our way out of this unless we get serious about urgently tackling climate change. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
