If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

This case stems from the systemic failure & subsequent cover-up revealed by 2020 Russia Report. Boris Johnson refused to investigate but what is UK govt's excuse now?? Read about this 5-year campaign & why it's even more necessary than ever now. substack.com/home/post/p-... 4/

Firstly, please - if you can - support this crowdfunder. The lawyers @leigh-day.bsky.social, MPs & @the-citizens.bsky.social have spent years on this. This if finally chance to get the truth. And it couldn't be more urgent or more timely 🙏 3/ www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/expose-the...

It's pretty extraordinary timing in a case that has been running since 2020 & publication of Russia Report. @carolinelucas.bsky.social @benbradshaw.bsky.social @alynsmith.bsky.social have persevered even tho they've now left parliament. Why - even now - is UK govt refusing to investigate???

NEW: Russian interference case heads to Europe's 'Supreme Court' Ex-MPs with @the-citizens.bsky.social take landmark case to Grand Chamber. Case claims UK govt in breach of law for refusing to investigate foreign interference. 1/ www.thenational.scot/news/2556145...

A curious approach from people who don't like the concept of immigration

UK public opinion might just be expressing a move to the left - at last ...

The politics of despair have engulfed Britain. But Zack Polanski is offering a way out | Owen Jones

Right now, The Greens are the only progressive voice to be heard in the UK. And the only party actually providing an opposition.

Shame that Number 10 still hasn’t.

Sadly, there's a lot to be said for Marina Hyde's analysis here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

The Conservative Party has gone totally mad.

In the last 72 hours or so Donald Trump has: • Demolished a large section of the White House • Posted a video of himself dropping shit on the American people • Demanded a $230 million payout from his own Department of Justice Also the federal government is still shut down, but, y’know…

I confidently predict that people who profess to be outraged by, say, the removal or destruction of statues honouring slavers and other racists because "history something tradition something something" will be completely silent about this abomination.

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.' We need more Bertrands.

Unintentionally hilarious from The Times: "... his plans are ruinous for British politics." Ruinous for Labour aping Reform? Ruinous for Tories aping Trump? Ruinous for Reform? Ruinous for billionaires? Ruinous for corporate power, theft and vandalism? I certainly hope so.

“Islamophobia is rife in our society and I say this as a Jewish man.” Rising star and new leader of the UK’s Green Party Zack Polanski joined @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to discuss the dangerous anti-Islam rhetoric in UK politics. zeteo.com/p/it-makes-m...

Another @zackpolanski.bsky.social banger

When the far right invents or exaggerates bad behaviour by their foes - see ‘cancel culture’; threats to free speech; anti-fascist violence; financial corruption; cronyism etc - they do so to preemptively excuse their own far worse & blatant abuses in exactly the same spaces.

FINALLY joined the Scottish Greens @patrickharvie.bsky.social @ross-greer.bsky.social 💚

Never not a perfect day to repost this

Obscene. 😡

Notice how Zack actually outlines what he wants to do and how he intends to do it in clear terms, and how Starmer (and most other politicians, really) can only speak in vague platitudes about “unlocking the potential of everyone” or some shit?

One benchmark of a democracy is whether it is willing to hold those who have served at the very highest levels to account. Can you imagine the United States ever doing something like this?

Voters’ anger is largely focused on asylum, and perhaps on low-skilled immigration. The government response seems to be focused on making sure no high-skilled immigrant will ever pick the UK in future, and the ones currently here will rapidly rethink their decision. This will not end well.

The more I think about her actual words, and how appallingly under-reported/understood they still seem to be, the more shocked & disgusted I am.

Good thread on how a big part of the problem of British politics is big media figures with no real interest in being across the details.

Tackling the cost of living crisis goes hand in hand with tackling the climate crisis. We need food security, insulated homes, and cheap renewable energy.

And, of course, the nativist ghouls this performative cruelty is designed to appease either don’t know or don’t care about facts or figures.

"Legal and treaty commitments to foreigners don’t count, even if we’ve already made them, because ‘our people’, however defined, come first....It is....not simply immoral but just plain thick". 👏🏾👏🏾

The thing about the Overton window is that it just shifts by default if you let people propose insane policies like removing people with indefinite leave to remain without robust challenge. It doesn't just go away, it slowly leaks into the mainstream water supply unless you properly hose it down.

– Tsybulka, know what? – What, Bastik? – I’ve just realised – I love you already.

Good morning #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

I helped make this bed today. That’s right, I’m awesome. 😹😽❤️😽❤️ #chloe #cats

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

It's good that wealth taxes are being discussed again in the UK (thanks to Zack Polanski). Several other European countries have them. Switzerland raised 9.5Bn Euros, which is a sum the UK could really do with. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqWt...

Hideous.

There may not be obvious parallels with Jan 6th, conduct-wise, but the message is identical: laws are to be abused in pursuit of Trump’s foes & ignored in relation to his allies. He is telling his base that they can commit crimes with impunity. Fascism 101.
