If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Labour voters overwhelmingly cite Brexit as the number one cause of our current difficulties, with 69% naming the decision to leave the EU as the main reason behind the country’s problems. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

So, let's see if I've got this straight? The world has changed enough for Labour to go back on their bedrock promise not to raise taxes. But not enough for them to scuff out their red lines on Brexit, the single most damaging drag on the UK economy. Idiots. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

When a political party lies its way into government & fouls everything up it gets voted out at the next General Election 5 years later When fraudsters con the British public into voting for the disaster that is Brexit, nobody is allowed to change to their mind That HAS to change REVERSE BREXIT

"You don’t fight the politics of violence by quibbling with the details. You stamp it into a million pieces! You draw a f*cking line!" If Keir Starmer won’t even make a moral case against deporting our friends and neighbours, then what is the point of him?

How on earth is doubling capacity for flights going to meet any kind of environmental standards?

Totally agree. The super rich and their political allies are trying to play a massive trick on the public by blaming the most vulnerable people for everything that is wrong in our society. It’s the oldest and crudest deception in the book, but we won’t be taken for fools.

😢 How are flights so much cheaper than trains? Indeed, why are we forced to pick between cheap & polluting and expensive & sustainable? Well @greenpeace.eu has the answer: subsidies and MASSIVE tax breaks.

EU citizens with indefinite leave to remain cannot vote in a general election but can in the upcoming Local Elections. Be sure to use what ever means possible to let yourself be heard www.gov.uk/register-to-...

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

I like this. I really like this. It exposes the rank hypocrisy of these ‘patriots’. Kudos to whoever wrote it via @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social

The new leader of @greenparty.org.uk is putting almost every other party leader in the UK to shame, and a lot more politicians besides. When did you hear anything like this from any other party leader?

Amazing! Are the Greens on the verge of a real breakthrough? More members than ever before, record numbers of councillors and polling numbers climbing slowly but surely towards a tipping point. ✳️

Tory MP Robbie Moore has refused to back the Climate & Nature Bill ❌️ Instead of protecting our future, he’s siding with business-as-usual 👎 Keighley & Ilkley deserve better 🌍💚

👏👏 Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has told Sir Keir Starmer it is “time to look at rejoining” the EU to ease the country’s economic woes and get a grip on small boat crisis. Kinnock, led Labour 1983 to 1992, said UK could no longer afford the “huge self-inflicted losses” created by leaving EU

(+ yesterday another 1000) = 77,000 members. Join.greenparty.org.uk

BREAKING @greenparty.org.uk reaches another record breaking membership number. The Greens now have 74,000 members!

Let's go! It's now 74,000. Membership rising fast 🚀 Join.greenparty.org.uk

superb column from @stephenkb.bsky.social “racism does not diminish through rising GDP but through the willingness of politicians to argue against it….” www.ft.com/content/fbbd...

How do we fix this mess?

Ellie Chowns MP said: "Donald Trump has used his office to enrich his family, fan the flames of racism and xenophobia, erode reproductive rights, deploy wartime and emergency powers during peacetime, and attack democratic institutions. State visits are honours; Trump doesn’t deserve one."

Superb! www.join.greenparty.org.uk

Great thread. I’ve been seeing this for years - a denial, by progressives, that people attacking immigrants, or Muslims, or foreign people, are motivated by racism. And where has this effort to characterise this behaviour as “legitimate concerns” brought us? It’s brought us to the brink, frankly. 👇

I was proud to once again join Leeds for Europe as we travelled to Leeds’s twin city of Lille to participate in Europe’s largest annual street market / festival. We met the mayor of Lille and an array of local & national French politicians. www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/community/le...

Would the EU really welcome the UK back? Campaigners Leeds for Europe canvassed on the streets of Lille and found warm feelings toward the UK, despite EU uncertainty By Peter Packham @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Congratulations to everyone who gave out and proudly displayed EU Flags at tonight's Last Night of the Proms at the Albert Hall! Sady, following today's Idiot Rally in Central London, our own national flag is no longer a symbol of unity and pride. But this one is! 🇪🇺

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

Whoa! A politician saying humans should be treated with humanity. This is refreshing!

"The head of the Utah FBI Field Office was a well-respected career agent named Mehtab Sayed, a Pakistani woman. She was fired a few weeks ago because she was Pakistani and a woman." www.meidasplus.com/p/thoughts-o...

It seems like Reform's party conference didn't have the desired effect - shock!

The Green Party has announced it has hit 70,000 members – the highest figure on record. The party says a surge in new members has taken place since the leadership election was called and since Zack Polanski was announced as the new leader a week ago today.

The Green Party has hit 70k members! We've got more MPs, more councillors, and now more members than EVER before The country is crying out for a positive alternative – and you can help us build it There's never been a better time to join our movement: join.greenparty.org.uk

The Brexitometer for the second day of the Braderie in Lille. For the second day people were genuinely interested in our campaign to rejoin and would welcome us back. Many of our visitors wished us “Bon courage”

With Stephane Daly, Green Party candidate for Lille mayor, Marine Tondelier, Leader of the Green Party in France and Green Party MEP Melissa Camara.

We had so many visitors to our stall at the Braderie de Lille we had to have two Brexitometers. These are the results.

With Arnaud Deslandes, Mayor of Lille and some of his deputies…

4 years ago, we planned with @leedseurope.bsky.social to join to the #BraderiedeLille to show citizens on both sides of the channel that the UK is welcome in the EU I'm superhappy, you made the trip again. You contribute to being back in hearts already. Let's keep going until you're officially back

In #lille with @leedseurope.bsky.social we are experiencing a vibrant French political scene, as their government teeters on the brink of collapse & a range of parties set out their case for the anticipated General Election. Uncertain & divided times, but the engagement of the people is undeniable.

The Daily Mail resorts to personal attacks because they’re rattled. Nazi backing rags protecting their super rich owners. And Keir Starmer’s randomly ranting about me in Parliament. Best way to respond to this desperation? 👉🏼 join.greenparty.org.uk

It’s been great to meet up with some European Green politicians on our visit to Lille, including Leader of the French Green Party @marinetondelier.fr, MEP @melissacamara.bsky.social and candidate for Mayor of Lille, @stefbaly.bsky.social. All have given us an amazing welcome to France!

It’s a pleasure to once again join my @leedseurope.bsky.social friends on this year’s trip to Leeds’ twin city of Lille. We are reaching out the hand of international friendship as well as experiencing the incredible Braderie - Europe’s largest flea market. @leedscitycouncil.bsky.social

We must tackle inequality. Your bills are not high because of migrants. The NHS is not crumbling because of migrants. It's because of politicians who only serve the super rich. 👇🏼 youtu.be/RhD2ZuKrXPg?...
