The hard work of the thousands of Green Party members is paying off. Every conversation we have makes a difference. Lower Bills. Protect the NHS. Keep us out of US wars.

#GoodMorning! Trump deletes Jesus pic, calls Pope "weak". Meanwhile, UK families £480 poorer from his Iran war. "Trumpflation" hits your pocket. 💷👎

Labour isn’t the solution. It’s the problem. A dying legacy party that risks dividing the progressive vote. Amazing Ed Davey’s latest stunt — based on Great British Bake-off — didn’t turn the dial. YouGov/Sky/Times poll RefUK 24% (nc), CON 19% (nc), GRN 18% (+2). LAB 17% (+1), LDEM 13% (nc).

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

The Brexit ‘take back control’ brigade backed Netanyahu/Trump to the hilt — and where’s it got us? An all-powerful minority marching a powerless horrified majority into a dark age in which the Pope, Spain, honest journalists and anyone with any humanitarian instinct is the enemy.

This ungodly mob are happy to use the Pope as a prop in a photo opportunity. They only have a problem with him when he exercises his sacred duty to speak out about evil men and evil acts.

But Israel is allowed to…

Much talk on here of Trump being impeached but that would have to be ratified by Netanyahu and I can’t see that happening.

Trump conveniently forgets Israel not continuing to push its genocide into Lebanon — calculated to blast away any hope of a lasting peace in the Middle East — was also part of that agreement.

Sun here breaking the first rule of politics: don’t big up your principal opponent.

I knew Starmer when he was a human rights lawyer and it did occur to me at the time that someone should have asked him at his interview if he had any interest whatsoever in human rights.

I’m old enough to remember when Iran was used to divert attention from Epstein, but now Iran has got so bad Epstein has to be used to divert attention from Iran.

It's hard not to conclude that Netanyahu, like Putin, has something on Trump Something so devastating that Trump will be complicit in genicode This is not a friendly relationship, it's clear Bibi is the one wielding the power

As world peace hangs in the balance, why is Trump deferentially ‘asking’ Netanyahu to be ‘more low-key’ in Lebanon, when he should be ordering him to immediately cease his ongoing and illegal mass murdering or face severe sanctions?

Trump has managed to alienate his own base with his blind obedience to Netanyahu: this is hard right populism now eating itself before our eyes.

In the West, we are lucky to be paying for this colossal error of judgment only economically rather than with our lives. Netanyahu and Trump must face justice for the ripples of misery now spreading far and wide from their illegal and morally repugnant bloodbath.

Netanyahu is not the solution to the crisis in the Middle East and now the wider world that is being impacted by this. He is the problem.

Even the Daily Mail — which has a profound influence on the editors of the Today programme — has accepted what Trump has been saying is ‘deranged.’

Today both Tucker Carlson & Jon Favreau called end aid to Israel. Netanyahu’s government has alienated a broad spectrum of Americans. Tucker called it “masochism” to continue to fund them as they act against our interests.

Lest there was any doubt, it’s clear from this Netanyahu controls Trump and not the other way round. Netanyahu wants to turn the whole of the Middle East into a bloodbath and draw in as many other countries as possible which is a profoundly dangerous and unpredictable strategy.

And today — after the general consensus yesterday that Trump is deranged — all the mainstream broadcasting channels here talking about him like he’s just another president, faithfully, credulously and even respectfully reporting what he has to say.

I wonder if Trump represents the irrevocable end of hard right evangelical populism: certainly I can’t see how anyone will be able to make the economic case for it after this.

We’ve dodged Hodge.

After the disappearing act, off to the Gulf for a photo opp for our PM. Symbolic as it’s Pakistan where the decisions will be made. Still not a word of criticism of Trump, American ‘defensive’ bombers still using our air space and bases and the King off to pay court to Trump.

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

If there were a Labour Friends of the Working Class — and it could afford to buy up the whole cabinet — just imagine how different things would be today for the party and the country and what a force for good we’d be in the world.

If Trump’s cabinet had one shred of integrity left, they’d immediately invoke the 25th amendment and take the nuclear codes away from the madman sitting in the Oval Office.

Starmer’s cabinet all deserve big bonuses from Friends of Israel for their silence yesterday. www.declassifieduk.org/israel-lobby...

Meanwhile, might it be possible for Starmer to reconsider dispatching King Charles to be the spaniel to a man the whole world can now see is deranged and dangerous?

Relief tempered by the fact a deranged and unpredictable individual remains sitting in the Oval Office — that all of America’s constitutional checks and balances count for nothing — and today a furious Netanyahu will be shrieking at him that peace must never be given a chance.

If we wake up and find Trump unleashed devastation, Labour’s silence will be absolutely damning. If Trump has beyond hopefully de-escalated, it’s still damning. In the face of genocide, what exactly is the point of the silent UK Prime Minister?

The bigger and more important the issue, the smaller Starmer seems. Today he has disappeared completely.

To the Mirror, Trump is a ‘maniac.’ The Mail considers him ‘unhinged.’ The Guardian talks of ‘fear and outrage.’ The Telegraph alone runs a front page that sees no reason to utter a single word of criticism.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Caroline is right. The use of language by Starmer’s government — typically he isn’t daring to say anything himself — is legalistic and turns on allowing US warplanes undertaking ‘defensive’ missions, but we are clearly still accomplices in ongoing and worsening war crimes.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

‘Endorsing Orbán.’ Any power-crazed dictator, anywhere, now has America’s support. Anyone standing up for democracy and the rule of law they revile.

If only for his reasonable, principled and consistent stand on this issue — an issue that I fear will decide whether we descend into a new era of barbarism — Zack alone is worthy of occupying the office of Prime Minister.

Not content with war crimes threats, Trump tries on a genocide threat for size. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

As in Nazi Germany, the real issue isn’t the deranged leadership, but the service personnel, judiciary and populace at large failing to challenge it. The weakness we’ve seen so far in America makes it hard not to fear the world descending into barbarism. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/apr...

Money that Mandelson’s old mate would much rather put the way of Palantir.

Thing about Zack is he doesn’t feel the need to get down to the level of his opponents and attack them on a personal basis.

Latest polling will mean there’ll be a lot of abuse and allegations coming @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s way from Labour, the Lib Dems and Reform. The problem they have is that he thrives on it — as he has the unrelenting media campaigning against him — and people understand why it’s happening.

BBC aren’t using the f— word in relation to what Trump has said on Iran. I get it is against their policy to use the word, but the journalistic argument for using it should override that as it makes it clear how dangerously deranged he has now become and with so little dignity.

First rule of politics: don’t even namecheck your principal opponent unless they make you shit scared.

We don’t have any real alternative now to Zack. open.substack.com/pub/thattimw...

Trump is sounding increasingly deranged.

🤔 Logic of what Badenoch is saying here is if her party receives not a single vote in next month’s elections it would be ridiculous to extrapolate from that the voters don’t want her to stay on as leader.

This is why Labour, Lib Dem and progressive ‘One Nation’ Tories need to get behind the Greens as they are only way now to keep Reform out.

In taking Labour so far to the right, Starmer can reasonably be said to be the creator of the Green Party as their traditional base — in addition to the old-fashioned ‘One Nation’ Tories — have nowhere else to go. I predict Mahmood will end up in Reform. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
