For me, Starmer always had the authority of a deputy Head of Geography in a failing secondary school. But even he seems happy to own up to his general cluelessness in almost every situation He always seems like he’s waiting for someone more senior to tell him what to think

On a day when the @greenparty.org.uk is once again being accused of ‘fantasy’ policies, here’s an example of Greens arguing for a more rounded, and effective management of our public space & economy It’s Labour and the neoliberal establishment who are fantasising that their approach actually works

I often wonder (and have asked) what the anti-trans lobby think they will achieve if they succeed Here are 4 things that are likely to happen in that scenario that I genuinely think they do not realise 1. Trans men will have to use women only spaces. And there will be no legal way to stop them

It’s not the rage-baiting tone or anti-trans angle that makes this article telling (those things are predictable); it’s the open way in which LGBTQIA people are now ‘othered’ So casual, so sneering, so dangerous. I feel a line has now been crossed These people will never stop coming for us

I think Labour is finally going to learn something important at the next Senedd elections: Not being one of the two main parties in a two-party system can lead to total wipeout This is something their Westminster strategists still do not appreciate

Another reminder that animal agriculture is the single biggest consumer of the earth’s natural resources… by far

Remarkable Scottish Parliament poll for the @scottishgreens.org Shows them winning in 4 FPTP constituencies, becoming the lead party in the list vote in Lothians, and securing 17 seats in total - more than double their previous best result

🇪🇺 The Green Party is clear: we should be repairing our relationship with the EU and undoing the damage of Brexit. That's why yesterday Green MPs voted in favour of re-joining the Customs Union - as a vital first step.

Labour genuinely believe that only high earners and ‘front-line’ workers (whatever the fuck that means!) ‘give’ anything to our society So much for the party of the workers

Starmer is either the worst political strategist since WW2 or he is genuinuly malfeasant This is stupid and incredibly dangerous Labour have lost their minds - they need to go asap www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

So Labour can moan about Greens being unrealistic as much as they want, but who is the bigger fantasist: the people who know the house is on fire and something radical is needed? Or the people saying "this is fine" as the roof falls in?

Disabled people driving luxury cars on your dime? Just the latest rightwing lie peddled by Labour. Govts stigmatize people claiming benefits as scroungers, claim fraud is rife. Silence on corporate welfare, tax abuse by corporations/rich. HMRC failed to collect over £500bn tax since 2010.

Reaching 200,000 Greens members in early 2026 seems entirely doable An amazing grassroots force, ready to topple Labour and Reform in the May elections It's time to join! join.greenparty.org.uk

Finally some clarity on the subject (not that you’d know it from most of the headlines)

#Austerity - be in no doubt, this Labour government is continuing where the Coalition and then Tories led www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Labour reaching ever further into reactionary politics The evidence in this is clear: legalising and regulating drug use leads to fewer deaths, less crime and better health outcomes

There’s a lot to digest in this discussion, but it is really important that the @greenparty.org.uk doesn’t trade media coverage for economic credibility Economies are incredibly complex and dynamic systems and many great simple ideas don’t deliver and have important unintended consequences

Asylum seekers are human beings, and when faced with them in reality, most other people respond with empathy and compassion The Farage/Badenoch/Starmer agenda of demonising them, relies on them not having a face or voice. Let’s change that

Labour becoming more reactionary by the day

It is a Labour government that is actively attempting to erase trans people from every aspect of public life I hope every single elected Labour politician loses their seat at the earliest opportunity Anybody still supporting that party deserves nothing but contempt

If UBI is to happen it will be an income floor, and structured to co-exist with current work, taxes and benefits You won’t be suddenly lounging by the pool sipping Margaritas; you’ll be living the same life as before, but with a robust income floor as insurance Threads like this are v unhelpful

Good article/post about what was really wrong with the Budget

This is a rather silly name that will cause a lot of future confusion It’s also not supported by a majority of their members Imagine using FPTP to make democratic decisions…

£200k target hit! Amazing work and more chance that the @greenparty.org.uk will break through at next May’s local elections

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Donated again! So close to £200k already Amazing response For comparison, the party only spent about £200k on the entire 2017 General Election campaign

Done in just 3 and a half hours! Amazing!

Donated The recent green surge has been amazing, but we need real resources to translate that into electoral success

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Labour will always side with powerful vested interests over working class people

Benefit cuts by stealth

On the eve of this year’s budget, here are 3 simple changes that the @greenparty.org.uk can propose to move taxation away from workers/the working class and towards assets and the wealthy 1. ⬆️ VAT on luxuries, ⬇️ VAT on local services substack.com/@mjfarley/no...

Let’s not doubt their commitment 😆

Taxing exports is a truly stupid idea. Not sure how credible this claim is (or how it has been explained to the people surveyed), but it might be the worst budget idea yet…

There’s a Chinese saying that goes something like, “If you want to be happy for a short time, fall in love. If you want to be happy for a long time, get a dog. If you want to be happy forever, take up gardening” So where’s all the films & literature about gardening? Seems like a gap in the market..

Now things are starting to get interesting…

This is an extraordinary admission “We have decided to withdrawal medical care for trans people, and now we will go and find the evidence to support that decision” Morally, politically and scientifically bankrupt

Labour at their lowest ever point with Opinium, Greens at their joint highest

Once again, Labour delivering a Reform victory by deliberately confusing voters that they were closest to beating them But solid result for @hastingsgreenparty.bsky.social who should be able to take it next time around

Welcome @russell-moyle.co.uk I’ve campaigned for many years in Kemptown and know Lloyd is extremely hard-working and respected across the constituency He’s a valuable addition to the Green cause!

“Mostly, though, you couldn’t escape the feeling that Starmer just wasn’t very good at politics” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

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
