Wes Streeting, the member for Palantir North.

Bird shooting = product of factory farming. The pro shoot brigade don't want this fact known by the public.

It’s pretty clear this chaos only stops when Andy Burnham is allowed back into Parliament. It’s what most Labour members, MPs and voters want and the NEC/powers that be should just get on and make it happen asap. The alternative is Farage in No 10.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week. Awareness is vital - but real change takes action. The Green Party reaffirms our commitment to ensuring major improvements in mental health care - so everyone can access the support they deserve, with dignity, when they need it.

Jenrick listed the money as coming from 'Spott Fitness' - a company which had no employees, had never made a profit and carried debts of over £300,000. In reality it came from Gary Klopfenstein, a Chicago-based investor who pled guilty to wire fraud and misappropriating funds

Is this an example of shooting yourself in the foot?

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.

The Metropolitan Police has warned it is 'preparing for potential violence and hate speech offences' at two protests in London this Saturday, as more than 4000 officers are set to be deployed

The Reform messaging on this is that a £5m gift is the bare minimum a man of 62 requires — over and above his current £1m a year incomings, of course — to see out the rest of his life in comfort. I’m not sure how that will play with ordinary working Reform supporters.

Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.

This is why Labour is fucked. They still don't get it! We need Reform Voters more than we need Green Voters. - Labour MP Luke Akehurst

This should be the only story this afternoon, 48 hours before racists get given London for the day. Self serving buffoons. news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

We've lost count of the number of times someone has told us that "First Past the Post is not perfect, but at least it leads to stable governments." How is that going?

This is the beginning of the end for bird shooting in this country.

These videos are so important and informative. #SaturdaysMarch

This is a good read about how Rupert Lowe’s Fascist Restore party used Great Yarmouth as a test case for taking Britain.

I covered that march. Here's the first paragraph of the story I wrote about it: www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

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

Case in point to the below.

You are all in jail. Each alone, solitary, with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes – the walls, the walls!

The Metropolitan Police is portraying – in the face of all previous evidence to the contrary – that the annual Palestine Coalition Nakba Day march on Saturday is essentially equivalent to the far-right Unite the Kingdom march in its potential for racism and violence www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Institute for Jewish Policy Research found "18% of Jews favoured the Green party – outweighing the 11% of Jews favouring Reform."

One of the things turned up to 11 during the pandemic was the idea that being an utterly selfish and dangerous scumbag, willing to risk other people's lives for the slightest reason was acceptable.

Reform councillor 'brought party into disrepute'

Ant Middleton - who advocates on race/ancestry/faith making Sadiq Khan ineligible to be Mayor of London, banning Kemi Badenoch as a party leader or PM, barring Yusuf/Braverman as Home Secretary - may prove to be one of the more moderate speakers on Saturday! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

Reform has suspended a Sheffield councillor, elected May 7th, over images of swastikas & Mein Kampf reported by the Sheffield Star. The Times had reported antisemitic comments by this candidate on Aprl 22nd but the party did not act pre-election www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If members of the party I was an MP for did a vote that said I was less popular than Yvette Cooper or Pat McFadden I could simply never leave the house again, never mind continue to promote myself as a replacement Prime Minister Jesus fucking CHRIST

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Just incredible.

26 new life peers have been appointed. Every single one of them AFAIK was a hereditary peer who was ousted under Labour's reform law. It's being considered "compensation" for getting rid of 90-odd hereditaries for good. Or, less charitably, a bung to get the bill through in the first place...

You have to go a long way down the BBC home page to find the news that The Met Police will be deploying armoured vehicles on the streets of London at the weekend… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
