“If the Greens and Liberal Democrats chose to carve up the country in a stand-aside pact, then there would be no doubt in my mind that they would form the next government.”

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The Green Party has over 200,000 members. More members, more councillors, more MPs. The Green Party just keep growing. Join us ⤵️

Perfection.

What’s this actually mean? Who has Hannah Spencer sought to divide from whom?

I really think we can make Starmer eat these words.

He just can’t help himself. Go on, say more about dangerous extremists on the left, I’m sure it’ll start working any minute now.

Worth remembering that by some metrics, it's the Conservative party's worst by-election result in history and it's important to celebrate *that* also.

May 2025: A saving grace, some ministers believe, is that the Greens are underperforming. “I think we are extraordinarily fortunate that the Green party are shit,” one minister said. “If they had any kind of charismatic or populist leadership we’d be eight to 10 points further down the polls."

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

The Starmer project never understood that millions of people want an alternative to a broken economic system and a foreign policy based on mass murder. If you believed in that, the Starmer project told you to fuck off. Well, we have fucked off. How do you like them apples

You can cut all the flowers, but - as it turns out - you actually, really can’t stop the spring from coming. 🟩

I take it the Greens have won then, because we are instantly on our bullshit

Labour aren't doing this about Matt Goodwin's campaign manager being sacked for antisemitism, have you noticed that?

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

When you want to give fascist zillionaires a squillion pounds for dreck, but you aren’t sure how to go about doing it

This does actually seem pretty bad. Deliberately undermining the concept of tactical voting can only help Reform, and not just tomorrow in Gorton and Denton.

I had real problems parsing this headline. It sounds like they’re setting wolves on us.

Broadly speaking, there are 2 political factions. Not Labour v Tory/Reform, Republicans v Democrats etc, but an economic elite, operating globally, versus all of us. Though they are small in number, through the power of the political, media and social media systems they control, they keep winning.

This is where we are, currently, in the British press’s uncompromising stance against the scourge of antisemitism in British politics, in case anyone was wondering.

I suspect it wasn't a coincidence that the Guardian published another misleading article about "chronic fatigue syndrome" [sic] on the same day an informative and accurate discussion about ME/CFS was aired on BBC Radio 4 (Inside Health).

Unanswered questions apparently don’t include “why does the Labour Party have a dirty tricks unit for secretly smearing perceived enemies” and “since we now see it does have one and it’s literally trying to report journos to the security services as traitors, what else might it have been up to”

Yusuf: "When Nigel is prime minister, there will not be a judge in the country that will be able to prevent flights from leaving." Worth noting that the political precedents for saying, 'The judiciary cannot in any way check the powers of the executive' is not a happy one.

proportionally, this is almost double stephen miller's daily deportation goals

The short clip has gone viral with people making out it shows something very different For 3 days a group of Americans came and stood near a Mosque and called Muslims sinful, criminals full of anger and hatred And the worst that happened was some Muslims asked the police why that was allowed🤷🏼‍♀️

Really hope the Greens can fight for this seat. People in Kent deserve better than this!

Always be suspicious when the media uses the passive. Free museum entry isn’t “coming to an end” on its own. Some people have decided they want to take it away from us, & want us to think the decisions they are making are inevitable rather than choices by them. And journalists are helping them.

This is huge - and proves exactly what we're saying. We cannot have a moment of complacency - only the Green Party can stop Reform. Vote Hannah Spencer and the Green Party on Thursday in Gorton and Denton. 💚

The betting has the Greens at 1/2 and Labour at 5/1. If you actually want to keep Reform out, rather than making a rhetorical point, you can only rationally argue for Labour to step aside.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Yes, it really is striking how much less weaselly Charles sounds about his own brother, than the PM does about Mandelson. Perhaps Andrew has less leverage?

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

More than almost anyone else Sodha’s faux-reasonable anti-trans diatribes in the Guardian - claiming *concern* about women’s rights - contributed to undermining the Equality Act. If Reform gets in cis women will lose every gain they fought for since the 1960s, thanks to “journalists” like her. 1/3

🚀 Now we're really going! 🎉 We've hit 195,000+ members! 💚 And a week today - we can stop Reform and win another Green MP. 👉🏼 Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

Important to understand that when all of these lads wail loudly about how much The Left Hates Britain, they don’t mean we hate Bargain Hunt or Greggs or Jarvis Cocker or Dundee United. They mean that we dislike and are opposed to *them*: they do not draw distinctions between themselves and “Britain”

My point in highlighting this stuff is not Boo hoo who, these bad men were mean! There’s no going back and nothing done now can change any of this shit. My point here is that none of this could’ve happened if Britain is a functional liberal democracy with a free press and representative government.

We laugh, but why would anyone in politics or media not believe that pointing fingers and roaring allegations of treasons *is not* the appropriate way to respond to criticism of their terrible behaviour? It is standard practice, the first tool they will put their hands on in the toolbox.

I genuinely think it's shockingly bad that Labour Together smeared journalists who were investigating them, but I note that my outrage is not reciprocated...

A REALLYgood piece by Juliet Jaques pulling apart the media/establishment faux-surprise about Mandelson's links with Epstein. "Don’t look so shocked, Emily Maitlis."

Isn't it interesting that the British press can be staffed with people who all know that the most likely incoming Prime Minister needs to be spared from too much scrutiny, and can say this out loud where people can hear, and that's just no big deal.

It’s the po-faced offended virtue that’s getting to me here. Oh no, imagine! People working with Labour Together, in secret! To launder their bullshitty dossiers of smeary drivel into moral panics! So that they can be presented as good faith, independent, public interest concerns! Heaven forfend!

I would add: everyone from Steve Reed to Tom Watson has been absolutely open throughout about “We cooked up some bullshit dossier of Facebook comments by members of the public and passed it to the Times, so they could stoke an idiotic national panic”. They are proud and open about what they did.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

If you want to keep Reform out, vote Green

On the history of the use of the “pseudoconcept” of “conspiracy theory” to delegitimize inquiry into actual conspiracies and how those who publicly observe the latter are often targeted accordingly:

Given Wes Streeting's links with Mandelson and Palantir, both stronger than Starmer's, the question MPs ought really to be asking themselves is, if we replace Starmer with Streeting are we hopping out of the frying pan and into the fire?
