People at Labour HQ are looking at this graph and thinking “that strategy of triangulating with Reform is really paying dividends: let’s do more of it”

The petty racists will get their wish with this Labour government And the impact will be entirely negative And then they’ll find some other ‘others’ to blame And then this Labour govt will start attacking them Immigration is saving this country, and we’re about learn that the hard way

So glad to be a member of a party that stands up to racist policies and rhetoric without flinching @carladenyer.bsky.social effectively challenging this cruel and divisive Labour government yet again!

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.” Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I see this opinion expressed a fair bit The answer is that this Labour Party is simply doing what it was designed to do: continue the neoliberal project and protect the usual British establishment interests It was obvious to me that that’s what was happening as soon as Blair was elected leader.

Seems like all pollsters are now catching up with Green surge putting the party at 15%-17% …so far

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

Trump constantly suing people or threatening to sue is just a form of bribery/ a protection racket “Pay me huge sums of money personally or face the wrath of the US government” Brazen corruption

There is something fundamentally correct about this As much support as Labour lost to Reform, it could still count on holding on to its base on the left. But no more, thanks to the @greenparty.org.uk And that’s the thing that will bring an end to Starmerism

Labour will tell you that this is the grown-up thing we have to do to ‘balance the books’ Don’t believe it - this is the destruction of the public realm to enable the enrichment of the few The Thatcherite disaster continues

I really loathe Buttigeig’s bullshit take ‘Identity politics’ is really the politics of individual liberty and universal dignity Anyone who moans about it is a reactionary tool

Unseating the LibDems in a previously safe local seat is one of the toughest gigs in politics Well done @canterburygreens.bsky.social

More business people should endorse the @greenparty.org.uk Massive investment programmes (both public and private), more money in consumers pockets and a more stable economy are all great for business A little extra tax for the rich is a small price to pay for that

At this months' budget, the @greenparty.org.uk should call for an increase in the minimum wage to £13 per hour It helps 3 million low paid workers with the cost of living, has a positive effect on government revenue and has almost no impact on inflation open.substack.com/pub/mjfarley...

I think it's time to acknowledge that Starmer just isn't any good at this (politics, government, public comms, strategy etc etc) He was elected because he looks the part - confident, middle-aged man who speaks with authority - but he clearly cannot perform at this level www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just to be clear, this data suggests that the UK economy is up to £220bn per year per year smaller because of Brexit And that means UK tax revenues are ~£88bn less than they would have been So the Labour govt would obviously be working to undo that damage, right? Right!?

As part of it's efforts to shift taxation away from workers and working class people, and towards wealth & the wealthy, the @greenparty.org.uk should argue in this month's budget to shift responsibility for Council Tax payments from residents to property owners mjfarley.substack.com/publish/post...

Active travel = a more successful economy But more importantly, it means happier, healthier individuals and better functioning and connected communities, with cleaner air and less congestion It really is all up side, with no real downside

Huge surge in Green membership and activists in Brighton & Hove Amazing to see so much hope for a better, fairer future

For this month's budget, the @greenparty.org.uk should make the case to shift VAT towards the luxury sector and away from local services This would be another great example of taxing the wealthy, not the workers (and big corps, rather than small businesses) mjfarley.substack.com/p/vat-on-lux...

Labour were broken a long time ago. Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires. A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them. Time to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

When I said 'soon' I honestly didn't expect it to be about 2 hours later....

Great thread from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social if you want to understand the strategy of the neoliberal 'left' and why it's a truly awful, pointless idea

People who bang on about ‘growth’ without any thought of its impact, should read this “Ineos plastic plant could cause more deaths than jobs created”

The last 5 @moreincommonuk.bsky.social polls have put the @greenparty.org.uk at 8%, 9%, 10%, 11% and now 12% Lower than other pollsters, but the same rapid upward trajectory (it has Greens on just 8% in London, for example; wildly different from all others) www.moreincommon.org.uk/media/wn2hcf...

Slightly long article, but hopefully a helpful explanation of how opposition progressive parties can defeat Labour and prevent a Reform majority, at the same time Spoiler: it doesn't involve any candidates standing down... mjfarley.substack.com/p/how-progre...

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies Those companies pay billions to their shareholders And then lay off their workers Think that's unfair? Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

Don't believe the myth of young men flocking to Reform en masse (though complacency would also be foolish)

I don’t think Trump and the Republicans realise the impact on GDP and the economy generally of a prolonged government shutdown The Federal Govt spends about £600bn per month. Any that money pumps resources across the economy

Public transport investment usually has a return on investment of 4:1 (for every £1 invested, the economy grows by £4), but done well it can do even better than that Great example here

If anyone had said even a month ago that the @greenparty.org.uk would be in 2nd place in a Westminster poll I’d have thought they were delusional. I know it’s only Find Out Now, but still an extraordinary moment

A new report shows the US’s super-rich are burning through carbon emissions at 4,000 times the speed of the world’s poorest 10%. Some would have you believe climate action has to cost you money. They're lying. Tax the polluters. Tax the super-rich.

The Rapid Support Forces in Sudan are massacring civilians. They're armed by the United Arab Emirates - a key Western ally. This is yet more genocidal mayhem armed and facilitated by the West.

You heard the man!

This is the thing driving everything else

With any other leader Labour would be 2 percent ahead of the Greens.

In the last 6 weeks, YouGov has registered Green Party support moving from 10% to 11% to 12% to 13% to 15% to 16% The direction of travel is unmistakable and rapid. Help to keep it going join.greenparty.org.uk

Latest Polling by @YouGov 🟣 Reform 27% 🔵 Tory 17% 🔴 Labour 17% 💚 Green 16% 🟠 Lib Dem 15% This is the LOWEST Labour has ever polled with YouGov. This is the HIGHEST @greenparty.org.uk has ever polled with YouGov. 4 parties within 2 points of each other for second place.

I can't stress enough how I want everybody in the Labour Party to follow the advice of Luke Akehurst in response to the collapse in its core vote Carry on as normal, safe in the knowledge that these voters will come back to you without you changing at all labourlist.org/2025/10/labo...

In a few months time…

for a party that was only 60,000 members strong a few months ago, to gain 26,000 members in one week is truly extraordinary. Something interesting is happening...

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month. Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth. The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.

Labour: Brexit is terrible and the cause of most of our problems Also Labour: we’re committed to making Brexit work so can you stop talking about it

In amongst all the distracting nonsense we are fed on a daily basis, the ONS published the data showing that the UKs greenhouse gas emissions fell by a whopping 0.5% in 2024 Anybody who tells you that we’re facing the challenge of climate change is having you on www.ons.gov.uk/economy/envi...

The message for the next 3 years

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country. Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

Great result for Plaid And this by-election makes our current situation very clear Labour’s vote has collapsed even in its heartland The remaining question is: do those voters turn to Reform, or do they turn to other progressive parties?

Just wow! This now must be at least equal to the membership of the Labour Party in Brighton & Hove @bhlabour.bsky.social
