holy goddamn shit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why are these Raise the Colours thugs allowed to behave on British streets like this with impunity, harassing and attacking locals like this? Almost a year of this! Oxfordshire banned them from spreading their flag measles. High time Birmingham followed suit. It's just monetised racist thuggery

My favourite among the people who've been banned tomorrow is this guy who pretended to be a "pro MAGA African American woman" only to one day get his accounts muddled up.

I’ve decided that I’ll only feature videos of Farage in my content with voice modification, like the BBC did with Sinn Fein in the 90s, to avoid giving them the oxygen of publicity or any illusion of credibility.

“Yesterday’s judgement is a huge blow to all our civil liberties.” @mothinali.bsky.social on the convictions of two organisers of peaceful pro-Palestine protests. The Green Party stands in solidarity with those organising to end genocide and demand justice.

A timely and brilliant initiative 👇

yes of course Nigel lives in Switzerland

This is brilliant...... “Tommy Robinson’s far right march has unwittingly raised over £100k for refugees. “Over 2,000 of you have chipped in to make tomorrow’s far right march the biggest sponsored walk for refugees EVER.”

Christopher Harborne is a new entry on the Sunday Times rich list top ten - worth £18 billion. He bought Reform for 0.1% of his fortune...

Maybe Trump thought the Thucydides Trap was a souvlaki joint in Washington that Xi was worried he might be forced to eat at.

In 2023 I wrote about why Coutts had good reason to put a big red flag over Farage's financial affairs (his long & close association with fraudsters, for starters). I didn't even know about the huge "gifts" flowing in from offshore sources. bylinetimes.com/2023/07/24/f...

Farage did say Brexit would make us richer… We should have known that by us, he meant him £5,000,000 richer.

“A reward” This is why so many voters want to see political donations capped at a low level, if not done away with completely

Robert Jenrick's wife was warned that his campaign had accepted an unlawful donation of almost £40,000 from a convicted American fraudster, according to the Times. Police are investigating allegations that Jenrick's campaign illegally funneled the money to his campaign via a UK-based company

It’s Foster Care Fortnight! Could you foster? I've been asked to shine a light on some amazing local authority foster carers here in the east of England. They make such a difference to children's lives.

Does that include the £5mn?

Despite it being obvious that the time of two-party politics is over, the govt laid out no plans to introduce a fairer voting system in the King's Speech. That's why Green MPs tabled an amendment on the need to bring in proportional representation and make every voice heard.

Climate-wrecking airports, intrusive digital ID and more social security cuts. This is Labour’s unshifting agenda. Our Green amendment to the King’s Speech demands strong climate and nature action, rent controls, water nationalisation, and wealth taxes. We are listening to what people really need.

Wes Streeting, the member for Palantir North.

From this, it seems that a leadership head-to-head against Wes Streeting may actually be Keir Starmer's best hope of clinging on to power against all the odds.

Wes Streeting is an anagram of reset stewing. Seems apt.

While all eyes are on Farage, we're overlooking something even worse: the building of the very tight and truly vile operation that is Restore Britain. This excellent essay/report by Simon Pearson should wake us up to the threat - and to what exactly it is. simonpearson1.substack.com/p/tory-30

I mean, Keir Starmer is desperately out of touch with the national mood. But how out of touch are Wes Streeting & his supporters if they think Streeting is the guy to solve Labour's problems? Liz Truss levels of delusion.

Britain is being ripped off - and the government has failed to act. Green MPs are putting forward an amendment to the King's Speech with a plan to end Rip off Britain and make life affordable again.

The Kings Speech shows why Starmer must go. What a wasted opportunity! Where’s the urgent transformative programme to redistribute wealth, tackle the nature & climate crisis, bring water into public hands, & introduce rent controls & wealth taxes? No hope, no story, no vision

Nothing meaningful in this King’s Speech about nature loss, which is not just an environmental issue, but is a threat to our water supply, food, health and national security. #KingsSpeech

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd rather the Prime Minister was not an associate of Peter Mandelson who's happy to hand unlimited access to sensitive patient data to a predatory US corporation run by tech-bro fascists. Wes Streeting is the Palantir Candidate.

After the Coutts affair, Farage nearly doubled his shareholdings in GB News parent company 1. No other presenter has such a stake 2. No political leader in the UK (I know of) owns so many shares in a media company 3. No Ofcom regulated media company supports just one political party

Holocaust denial, but the newspapers pretending to give a damn about antisemitism, The Times, Telegraph and Mail, haven't covered it because it's not about the Greens.

Historians still argue about the condition that caused the delusions of King George III (the one whose rule the Americans rightly threw off). But at least his courtiers recognised he was mad & incapable, which is more than can be said of the spineless courtiers of King Donald.

Yesterday, ministers at the Foreign Affairs Council agreed to impose sanctions on Israeli extremist settlers in the West Bank. But it is too little, too late. Our MEP Villy Sovndal's reaction⤵️

Here's a radical thought Why doesn't the Labour Party follow the programme for government set out by Starmer when he stood to be their leader Public ownership, taxing the rich, abolition of tuition fees, etc etc Sounds pretty good www.clpd.org.uk/resource/kei...

Zack Polanski - Has apologised and is paying any Council Tax he may have missed. Kemi Badenoch - Doesn't pay her Council Tax, she makes you pay it. Nigel Farage - Doesn't care about Council Tax, he got a £5m personal 'donation', Council Tax is irrelevant to him.

This is the good news Birmingham needed. Congratulations, @kamelhawwash.bsky.social!

The fourth Reform councillor suspended, expelled or forced to resign since being elected on...Thursday

This letter is incredibly unusual for a ministerial resignation in that it actually spells out in plain English why Phillips is resigning, and why she thinks Starmer should go. With worked examples. Genuinely quite refreshing.

What kind of justice is this? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Labour MPs showed much boredom at the amount I talked about the Govt’s outrageous attack on jury equity while I was on the committee for the Courts and Tribunals Bill. This principle, established firmly since 1670 (!) must remain in place, and any new leader absolutely must leave juries alone.

Our election campaigns were rooted in fighting to end the housing affordability crisis, and voters have spoken. Green Mayors @zoegarbett.bsky.social & @liamshrivastava.bsky.social alongside Carla Denyer MP have written to the government to demand a Rent Controls Bill in the King's Speech tomorrow

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Government majority of 156 seats. And yet total instability at the top. Six PMs in the space of a decade. The "strong and stable" arguments for First Past the Post were always pretty weak but I don't think anyone makes them with a straight face anymore.

The Rosebank oil field could send over £200 million to one of Israel’s biggest oil companies, which operates in illegal settlements in the West Bank and supplies fuel to the Israeli military. 📢 Join the protests: Edinburgh + Aberdeen (Wed) and London (next Thu) actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Look at that growth 😍 💚 From 164 councillors in 2016 to 1319 in 2026 - a 704% increase! We're not stopping here. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

One of the many curiosities of this decision is that Nigel Farage is the only serving UK political leader (to my knowledge) to have been criticised by the Board of Deputies for personally using rhetoric linked to antisemitic conspiracy theories, for which he has never apologised.

This story needs way more attention. Farage and his acolytes have repeatedly claimed his home was "firebombed", to justify the £5m secret donation given to the Reform leader by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne But the police report of the incident is a burglary. There's no record of arson

My favourite @greenparty.org.uk graph. Simple but VERY clear on how #GetGreensElected is going

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

Completely unacceptable from the Board of Deputies. This nakedly partisan hypocrisy does not represent me or many other British Jews. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
