For all its efforts, and all its dishonesty, the media could not prevent the Greens succeeding in Gorton & Denton. The revealed impotence of the media might be the most important consequence of the by-election.

🚨VERY IMPORTANT! ON 16 MARCH PARLIAMENT WILL DEBATE A PETITION FOR BY-ELECTIONS TO BE TRIGGERED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT Make sure your MP attends! youtu.be/LPO_ZWlyb7Q?...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK. The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party. Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

Excellent analysis from @davidallengreen.bsky.social on the MoD contract awards to Palantir And it looks to me as if the Gov (as with MoD - initially Tory and now Labour) have walked into similar contract traps 🎣 with NHS contracts awarded to Palantir Woeful emptycity.substack.com/p/land-and-e...

Wow.

As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances

When I ran for leader, I said we're going to make the Labour Government more worried about losing seats to the Green Party - than to Reform. We're making this happen in Gorton & Denton. This is about our country. Volunteer in the next 9 days! greenparty.org.uk/get-involved...

Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments. This isn’t really about individuals. It’s about the state of the Labour Party. news.sky.com/story/invest...

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Saturday. 10am. Denton. Biggest action day ever? We have to stop Reform. Let’s elect Hannah Spencer 💚 actionnetwork.org/events/big-d...

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every time Labour, the Lib Dems or Greens refer to Reform UK, Farage or any of their members they should instead refer to them as "the Trumpists". Every time they use the logo or any of their faces in promo, put it next to a photo of Trump. Make the public association of them with Trump Pavlovian

BREAKING: Statement just posted by Andy Burnham “The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not”

Labour MPs are rightly calling today's decision 'petty factionalism'. It's time to stop being disappointed in them, and instead join the only campaign that can beat Reform in this by-election: actionnetwork.org/events/a-gre...

ICE shoot a guy dead who they were already piled on top of. We need trials for these criminals.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

🚨BOOM!! 💥 YOU DID IT!!! The Petition for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party has hit 100,000 signatures! NOW LETS HAVE A DATE FOR A DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT Cc @HoCpetitions petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy. Urge your MP to sign @sianberry.bsky.social Early Day Motion 👇🏼 action.openrightsgroup.org/protect-brit...

Palantir was a warning sign. Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment. All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Robert Jenrick joins Reform UK after being sacked by Conservatives

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.

The UK govt to pay a “substantial sum” to a Guantánamo Bay detainee. UK intelligence services allegedly complicit rendition and torture, cooperated with the CIA. Was held at Guantanamo since 2006 without charge or conviction. How many other cases? What else do govts get away with?

I see we are not talking about the Epstein Files.

Large numbers of US forces have arrived by air all across Europe. Exactly the thing you would do if you were planning to invade Greenland and not lose your military bases.

Honestly starting to wonder if his officials are setting up fake calls for him with foreign leaders at this point.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.* People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off. Special relationship - alive and kicking.

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more. This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich. This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

So so close to £200,000! Other parties are funded by the super rich, hedge funders with private healthcare, oil and gas and arms traders. We're growing our movement with the people. If you want to help take the fight to Reform - please do chip in! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hopeishere

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Exclusive: Reform UK is under investigation by the Information Commissioner for breaking data protection law, @bylinetimes.bsky.social can reveal. Reform is accused of lying to the watchdog about a complaint from a voter over receiving unsolicited communications from Nigel Farage’s party.

As Labour proposes limiting the protection of the ECHR, we must remember what it was set up to do; protect us all from abuses of power by our govts. Be v wary then of anyone calling to do that. You may not be the target now. But why shouldn’t you be next? bestforbritain.substack.com/p/why-we-and...

Behn: My biggest pet peeve in politics is when people who don’t live in the South say, “You get what you voted for.” I didn’t vote for the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. I didn’t vote for the highest inflationary cost of groceries in the country.

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

The call is coming from inside the house

Powerful.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Israel blocking wells on Palestinian land with cement. Nothing to see here, just Genocidal Ethnic Cleansers doing what Genocidal Ethnic Cleansers do

THIS IS SO GOOD

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

The UK Labour Party defines itself as a "democratic socialist" part in the first sentence of Clause IV. And has since the 1990s. That's how woeful the BBC claiming it's a term with no definition is. Good grief.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago. Mike Johnson still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files. Hence the government shutdown, day 37. Beating the previous record set by Trump in 2018/19 of 35 days.
