Today we launch our campaign for the May elections. Locally and nationally, Labour is cosying up to developers and failing to provide the secure, affordable homes we need. We deserve better. On 7th May vote for council homes, rent controls and an end to leaseholds. Vote Green.

We organised an emergency rally with less than 24 hours notice in Margate tonight. Hundreds and hundreds of people on the beach ready to vote for Rob Yates & the Green Party Thursday from 7am-10pm It's so close between the Green Party & Reform - and we're taking them on!

I have just spent a wonderfully uplifting evening with @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Rob Yates, our local Green party candidate - huge turnout and hopefully positive news to wake up to on Friday!

I wear special ear plugs at work that make everything nearly silent. Everyone thinks it's because I need them to concentrate but it's really because I'm sick of listening to my co-workers' bullshit, whistling and fingernail drumming.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

This would be a huge contract for JCB. In other news, the JBC group has so far given £1.1 million to the Conservative party and Kemi Badenoch since she became its leader

Thank you, @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social. These conversations are like a breath of fresh air to me. Folks who want pundits shouting at each other, have many options. But if you want people trying to navigate difficult issues, with nuance, warmth and humour, then Quiet Riot is the badger.

What has to happen before the world hits a tipping point? Epstein files? Hospitals bombed in Gaza? War crimes in Lebanon? Illegal Iran war? Children suffering in ways we shouldn’t be able to imagine? Ben Gvir celebrating being able to hang people? Wish I was going mad & this wasn’t reality.

Yep. This is my party. join.greenparty.org.uk

What gives me hope? An entire movement stepping up. Ready to take on the billionaires - and make life better for everyone. There’s room for so many more people in this. 40 days until a big set of elections. Join: greenparty.org.uk

We need an effort to save this critical service.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

Looks like people want to tax billionaires, low bills and protect our national health service. A party that puts compassion and kindness at the centre. Join the Green Party. Join.greenparty.org.uk

@quietriotpod.bsky.social .... Wokey Dokey?

And the Home Office provides virtually zero routes through which these nationalities can claim asylum in the UK without making the dangerous and illegal crossings that it so hates 🫠

Stunningly horrible tweet from the Home Office. Tars everyone from 4 countries with the same brush.

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war. Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

To rebalance our economy and turn our country around - we'll be asking three simple questions. How do we make life more affordable? How do we back the caring majority over the wealthy elite? How do we protect our planet for generations to come? Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Now's a great time: join.greenparty.org.uk

"The Green Party calls on the UK Government to make clear to Trump and Netanyahu the UK will not accept breaches of international law, to withdraw permission for the US to use UK military bases, and to refuse any further complicity in this illegal war." @elliechowns.bsky.social

These guys continue to crack me up and should by now definitely have their own topical panel show and knighthoods. 👍🏻

A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids… Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis And yet when they’re Palestinians… Utterly utterly shameful.

Zack in Cardiff this weekend asked about Kemi Badenoch by The Mirror

Donald Trump attended one dignified transfer in a campaign merch hat, turned the photo into a fundraising email & then skipped the next one entirely. While Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, was coming home in a flag-draped coffin at Dover… Trump was at his f’ng golf club. At. His. Golf. F’ng. Club.

Green things are happening! 💚

BBC News - Labour 'finished' in Wales, says Green Party leader Zack Polanski - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Watching Trump joke around in his usual narcissistic way, it's clear he has absolutely no appreciation for the graveness of what he's just unleashed on the world. And joking about giving himself the Medal of Honor when he's put thousands of US service members in harm's way is especially abhorrent.

Medical experiments on prisoners? Where have we seen this before?

It’s really easy to write to your MP and ask them to attend:

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.

Having a lovely Sunday, first @quietriotpod.bsky.social , then @alexpodyssey.bsky.social , all whilst doing a very hard jigsaw and ignoring the binfire going on outside

@sturdyalex.bsky.social happy birthday weekend, you marvellous man! X

My parents raised me to never speak ill of the dead. But Donald Trump is still alive, so I'm calling him a cunt now.

Trump’s Greenland speech at the WEF except it’s the voice of Pingu

Worth a watch in full, not just the pull quote

Robert Jenrick is the MP for Newark - the only constituency that is an anagram of wanker.

Prepare to smile a lot. One of the best comebacks ever!

Russia murders children again

@quietriot - Just relegating my dad's festive Telegraphs to their correct position under the cat litter tray....is this front page 'peak Telegraph '? Foreigners, foxhounds and Milei'?

Hunting is completely impractical, causes immense damage to farming, benefits nobody and is very cruel indeed. No wonder Britain's leading Brexiter backs it.

Christmas can be a tough time for many. If you or someone you care about needs mental health support, help is available: NHS 111: 111.nhs.uk/triage/check... Samaritans: samaritans.org/how-we-can-h... Mind Charity: mind.org.uk/information-... Shout: giveusashout.org

I may not be the most festive person going, but know it can be a tough time for many people. If you can help support organisations supporting others please do, and, if you need support, hopefully some organisations below can help. This is far from comprehensive so please do add more at the end. 👇

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Good morning Reece. For so many people Christmas is a very difficult time and sadly not one bringing happiness. This infographic might help someone-

I wonder how many thousands of us have watched The Princess Bride in tears this evening...
