Catherine West MP, the fresh perspective that Labour needs: a Labour Friends of Israel member who has attended transphobic events and voted in line with the Starmer government over Palestine and disability cuts

"I love it when a plan comes together"

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

DOKUUUU WITH ANOTHER SCREAMER!!!

The Green Party is on the up. Voted Green? Join our growing movement! ⤵️

The Green Party go from 2 seats to 28 in Lambeth - and Labour lose control! This is happening in our cities and in many of our rural targets too. People voting Green Party councillors to help end Rip Off Britain! Join.greenparty.org.uk

I appreciate the public figures who have responded to clearly inflammatory questions such as "Can a woman have a penis?" by pointing out how the speaker is obsessive, hateful, and acting in bad faith. But. But, I must point out that "yes" is a perfectly good answer to that question.

Aha, I've just read a nasty review of my new book, Feminism for a World on Fire. Kathleen Stock takes umbrage at my argument that feminists should be 'pro-immigration'. Yes, I do believe that if you call yourself a feminist but you are prepared to strip refugee and migrant women of their rights

Keir Starmer is a war criminal

pure, uncut, liquid Sir Keir to write an article about "breaking with the status quo once and for all" on Friday, then announcing new roles for Harriet Harman and Gordon Brown on Saturday

Thanks for the reminder that they don't pay for their own clothes.

I’ve never been a member of a political party before and never thought I’d be inspired enough to become one. Today I joined the Green Party.

He thinks this will ‘head off pressure’. The man’s an idiot.

With the amount of transphobes that are allowed to run free on here I feel like this isn't working.

joanna cherry, ash regan, john mason, kate forbes, fergus ewing, jackie baillie, anas sarwar, jk rowling, can you hear me jk rowling? your boys took one hell of a beating! your boys took one hell of a beating!

My council has flipped from Tory to Lib Dem. The Greens gained seats and are now the third place party in the council. Ahead of Reform. My town was in the news last summer because anti-migrant thugs were being cunts outside a hotel. There are fuck-arse polyester flags EVERYWHERE. They lost today.

I can answer this one, and without doing a 70-tweet thread too. Bluntly: the public view him as a deeply dishonest, weaselling little liar. They are IMO correct about that: he is one!

Joanna Cherry suggesting that Angus Robertson’s downfall was identity politics when he was beaten by LORNA SLATER OF THE GREENS is very funny.

oh my god lmao

This election is a disaster for Labour Together, Blue Labour, and the sad sacks who still consider themselves 'Blairites'

It’s almost like people aren’t happy about Westminster deliberately inflicting the obviously idiotic and crooked Boris Johnson on us all, swiftly followed by the Mandelson wing of the Labour Party on a platform of singing God Save The Queen, hand-on-heart in front of giant billowing Norsefire flags

‼️RESULT | Handsworth (Birmingham) 🟢 Grn: 41% (+35) 🔴 Lab: 19% (-64) 🔵 Con: 10% (+3) ➡️ Ref: 5% (+5) 🟠 Lib: 2% (-2) ⚪️ Oth: 24% (+24) Green GAIN from Labour🟢 x.com/LeftieStats/...

amazingly not a winning strategy 🤯

Handsworth is now Green! 💚🥳 Huge congratulations to @edfreshwater.bsky.social!

Daily bunny no.3312 hears the music

Using Wigan as a bellwether for a supposed swing towards far right politics is genuinely the funniest reaction of the day. We used to have NF posters in the newsagents and the Methodist hall front window.

"The people of Hackney own Hackney and its time to take it back. That's why one of my first acts is to do a full investigation into who owns.. its buildings, its land, to begin getting these spaces back to the communities.. to get the basics right" Great speech by @zoegarbett.bsky.social

Is xenophobia morally acceptable? No. But will it improve your country's economy? Also no. Will it at least earn you the votes of those people who would never vote for you? Still no.

Every Financial Times journalist seeing Green Party successes today

I do think that every non-Black who questioned Black folks’ job qualifications. Claimed racism was no longer a problem. Was skeptical of AA. Said All Lives Matter. Victim blamed us. Believed they lost a job to DEI. You paved the way for generationally weakening your most reliable voting block.

BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!

If only they had listened to Morgan McSweeney

Reform dickhead on BBC right now just said "the country is bankrupt". It isn't though. The country isn't bankrupt. At all. This is just more of the Labour playbook. It's pretty pathetic.

Is this the same guy who took responsibility for the 'Island of Strangers' speech and Mandelson's appointment? Seems like he should probably resign.

Have you ever considered not sacrificing people to racists?

'Credible' here means throwing red meat to the worst people in our society, who will absolutely never be satisfied. My wife and son are the red meat btw.

lol, lmao

What the hell does ‘credible’ on immigration mean? Accepting the lies that immigration is harmful to the country and that immigrants are dangerous? This is why Labour is failing.

Or maybe you lot could start treating us as if we're people too

🎉 9 Green councillors elected in Oxford to give Greens our biggest ever group on Oxford City Council! 💚

The final scores on Oxford City Council, combining tonight’s 24 elections with the 24 from 2024, are: 🌹 Labour 20 💚 Green 13 🔶 LibDem 9 🟪 IOA 4 ◻️ Ind 2 This gives the Greens and LibDems a chance to run the council in coalition if they choose. Here’s tonight on a map. Thanks for following along!

Great work @oxfordgreenparty.bsky.social! One of five gains from Labour overnight, taking Green council number to 13. Congratulations also to other target winners James Thorniley, Alfie Davis, Sushila Dhall and Edward Mundy

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Folks, pls don't share photos godforsaken Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social thieves circulate. Screenshot of a tweet looks like crap. No credit to photographer, a Black man. Support @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! Credit: Martin B. Cherry/Nashville Banner nashvillebanner.com/2026/05/07/t...

Another Green gain! Alfie Davis has taken the student-heavy Oxford city centre ward of Holywell from Labour with a colossal swing. 💚 Green 808 🌹 Lab 186 🔶 LibDem 120 🔵 Con 75

Here’s the seats declared so far at 4am: 16 down, 8 to go, including some very keenly fought ones. Marston is a three-way Green/Labour/IOA fight, the Greens hope to take St Clements, the LibDems have been working Quarry & Risinghurst, and we’ve heard suggestions of a possible upset elsewhere…

Another Green win from Labour – Ahalya Bala takes their top target of St Clement’s. 💚 Green 875 🌹 Lab 403 ➡️ Reform 88 🔵 Con 72 🔶 LibDem 65

First result of the night from Oxford and it’s a stunner: in Cowley, a Labour stronghold until 2024, the Greens’ Edward Mundy has wiped the floor with independent Ajaz Rehman, with Reform nowhere to be seen. 💚 Green 1031 ◻️ Ind [Rehman] 656 🌹 Lab 291 ➡️ Reform 219 🔶 LibDem 69 🔵 Con 58

Another Oxford upset: the Greens sensationally gain Carfax & Jericho from Labour, with Sushila Dhall unseating planning chief Alex Hollingsworth. Two Green gains in two declarations so far. 💚 Green 811 🌹 Lab 523 🔶 LibDem 123 🔵 Con 84 ➡️ Reform 75
