"The polling suggests that the Greens' appeal is broader than white collar workers. Those classified as doing "routine" jobs also vote Green in significant numbers" For some reason, I feel like the media is going to be more cautious with the term "working class" than it's been with Reform...

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills. The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

The surge in the Green vote is no surprise. It's part of a resurgence of left wing politics that's happening in many countries as a reaction to the far-right power grab by the super-rich. But unlike previous left wing politics in the UK, it's pro-EU and firmly placed in 2020s rather than the 1970s.

Polanski's reboot has brought the Greens back to where they should have been for decades – like in the rest of Europe. The problem was, due to the David Ike fiasco in 1991, UK Greens became desperate to appear "sensibly suburban". That made them an outlier. But now they've regained their edgy USP!

SPOILER ALERT: Green policies are popular not populist: 🟢 The super-rich should pay their fair share. 🟢 Immigration is necessary. 🟢 Refugees deserve respect. 🟢 Diversity is good. 🟢 Brexit is bad. 🟢 The state should run certain utilities. 🟢 Climate protection All these used to be Labour positions.

It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic. Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative. The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!

Extraordinary that the Telegraph is refusing to tell Ipso how its story about imaginary couple Al and Alexandra Moy and their non-existent children Ali, Harry and Barry got published.

This, amongst many other things, should be the end of that rag!

it was quite funny at the time. I thought it was a spoof but later @pressgazette.co.uk suggested it was a pitch from a PR firm

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used www.ipso.co.uk/rulings/0210...

As usual, you will now hear all of the Starmer fans banging on about the SDP in 1983. For my part, I've been waiting for meaningful change my entire adult life. Labour and the Tories are finally being punished for their lies, their corruption, and their hubris. I can't wait for 2029. #r4today

This is absolutely wild. The Greens in second place in new opinion poll. Hope wins 💚

Asymptomatic infections are still driving death and disability because many are unaware they are spreading it. This is why testing shouldn’t have ended. It’s not a cold. We could have adopted other non invasive methods like colour change tabs on masks or monitors that detect covid in the air.

get blood clots, blood vessel damage and long covid but your risk is decreased. The risk is still a cumulate health risk. Think of hepatitis C that can be asymptomatic but still can cause organ damage.

Covid is airborne. It’s a predominantly airborne virus, it can linger for several hours after an infected person has been in a room. That includes being asymptomatic, you still spread the virus to others. Asymptomatic infections aren’t necessarily harmless, you can still

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

The Labour Party's attacks on the Green Party are disgusting, deceitful, right wing, gutter trash. They're more like a Daily Mail headline than actual politics.

Looking forward to the Green Party receiving as much media attention as Reform based on their polling. That weekly seat on BBC Question Time must be about to start any moment.

Can you imagine the coming MSM meltdown when the Greens outpoll ReFuk? They'll need safety nets around the roofs of all their office blocks.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular. This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better. And we're making hope normal again - together. news.sky.com/story/greens...

I'm sure some people will think this is just a hyperbole, just a little joke. But:

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

Anyone want to take bets on how long before we see newspapers publish cartoons of Polanski as a globe-straddling puppetmaster with crude caricatures of Muslim rapists hanging from his strings?

It would be interesting to know how many tax dodging creeps now demand that the British taxpayer repatriates them back to Blighty as things have got a bit sticky in their tax haven paradise.

Reeves and Starmer would rather the royals got more cash than our public services. It's us vs the elites. #AbolishTheMonarchy

I can’t do that, I’ll get E. coli from the sea. No, of I don’t I don’t support nationalising the water companies, why do you ask?

Starmer’s 4D chess move to prop up the UK staycation economy

sorry your holiday in the legal slavery zone run by the mad kings was ruined. maybe consider cleethorpes next year?

Spain's prime minister Pedro Sánchez again being the exception to the rule. As Starmer, Merz, Macron declare their support for the US & its actions, setting aside reservations about their legality, #Spain demands better. I do have to ask: Why do we all lack Sánchez' courage (of conviction)?

Starmer will know that his decision to cooperate will be deeply unpopular in his own parliamentary political party and with British people. It might actually topple him. How we can tell whether it will? By looking how Wes Streeting positions himself. Politics is a nasty business, isn't it?

"The Israeli-American war on Iran" ALT-text: Netanyahu in the cockpit of a war robot designed to look like Trump.

So Starmer, Merz, & Macron are happy to destroy Iran's missiles on the ground before they lift off*, but not Russia's? *[which is what 'defensive' means: a pre-emptive strike to prevent the enemy from launching its weapons].

Farage floods the zone with headline grabbing baseless nonsense. Only toilet paper rags and right wing propaganda TV would carry this transparent drivel.

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage. So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

Always the first to flee while everyone else suffers the consequences.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Linux before Windows 11!

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump? Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars. The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

A huge win for the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, a massive result. A humbling for Labour and a reassuringly disappointing night for Reform UK and Matt Goodwin.

This makes me so happy 😄 congratulations @greenparty.org.uk congratulations Hannah and thank you to all the volunteers amazing organising. Hope wins 🌞 💚💚💚

Her maiden speech she’s got to suck through her teeth and say you’re going to need a new boiler 💚

I am looking forward to when she is minister for industry or something, and there's a leak. The headlines write themselves. 🤣 I'm sure she will be brilliant though.

The Green Party is now the custodian of traditional Labour values.

First time in a long time I have felt hope waking up to the news. Congratulations

This election was a choice between hope and hate, and the people of Gorton and Denton chose hope 💚 🎉 Huge congratulations to the Honourable Member for Gorton and Denton! And to everyone who helped make this happen 👏 I can't wait to see you on Monday, Hannah, and give you the biggest, proudest hug
