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

The Green Surge is very welcome. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/the-gr...

Tomorrow I'll be on Laura Kuenssberg. Will I be able to say "I can announce the Green Party have just overtaken the Tories in members!"? It's tantalisingly close to happening! Join.greenparty.org.uk

WOW. Whole of UK: 371 million tonnes a year Just this one oil field: 250 million tonnes. Decision expected soon. All eyes on this Labour government 👀 #StopRosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social (Hat tip @esmestallard.bsky.social for the article: www.bbc.com/news/article...)

"while Labour talks about change, people can see in their weekly shop, their utility bills and crumbling services, Labour are offering more of the same." Zack Polanski tells it like it is. Under Starmer, Labour is nothing but lie after lie after lie. #StarmerOut www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Woahhhhhh. A poll that shows the Greens surging to 15% - and just 2 points behind the Labour party.

If you have always voted Tory, then flirted with UKIP, was taken in by the Brexit Party, voted Brexit, then listened to Boris Johnson and voted Tory (Again) to"Get Brexit Done" and now you support/voted Reform, the state the country is in is because of you! *copied* #Farage #ReformUK #Tory #Badenoch

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating. We're just getting started. This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The Green surge continues ... We’ve just passed 90,000 members! 💚 People everywhere are joining the movement for real change. Want hope to be normal again? Join the Green Party today ↩️

Breaking: over 3,000 people joined @greenparty.org.uk over conference weekend. Membership now stands at over 86,000. We’re just getting started. join.greenparty.org.uk

Really good article and a reminder of the short-sighted logic of austerity politics.

Rather than doing all the good things quietly and all the shitty things loudly, maybe Labour should shout about the good things it's doing and stop doing the shitty things altogether instead. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Urge Nigel Farage to Release His Tax Returns www.change.org/p/urge-nigel... (Pass it on)

www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int... Best piece I've read in a while on the Guardian. #farright #guardian

Brilliant line “Nigel Farage wants to be the next PM? You must be joking!” #Farageisajoke

The BBC reports on the rising problem of misinformation that it happily promotes

"My door is always open for conversations with Jeremy and Zarah, two people committed to making our country fairer who I really respect. All my energy is focused on what I can do towards that end, and that’s to keep growing @greenparty.org.uk" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Sounds legit

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Good to see the BBC News website catching up with this almost a week after the rest of the media. It was briefly on the top screen yesterday but it's tucked safely out of view now. #r4today Farage faces questions over who funded £885,000 Clacton constituency home www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s heating up for Nigel… Farage gets expert tax advice amid pressure to explain Clacton home arrangements www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

“The politicians and pundits who now crack the whip on immigration need to be asked, right now, where this ends. They should be made to say the thing they are judiciously trying to avoid saying, or to renounce it completely.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

.@TheGreenParty now has more members than ever before. In these dangerous times, people are desperate for a party that speaks truth to power, has courage of its convictions & will take on the far Right. There's never been a better time to join our movement join.greenparty.org.uk

"It got the debate going and that's why we put him on." Reform’s Laila Cunningham explains why her party allowed a 'quack' to falsely claim that the Covid vaccines gave the King cancer.

Monday's MIRROR: How much tax do you pay, Nigel? #TomorrowsPapersToday

Been politically adrift since I left Labour a while ago, and filled with dread at the growth of Reform. Today I joined the Green Party. Zack Polanski is making me believe again. There are still good people in this country, sticking up for the right values, and I want to be among them.

BBC coverage of Reform is becoming increasingly problematic. And goes beyond the usual white noise. Continuous soft balling is not balance, it is a fundamental abdication of duty. Farage's tax issues, cranks given platforms at their conference, climate change denial. All need coverage. Most haven't.

Farage promise to "stop the boats within two weeks of winning gov't" unravelling. Apparently, it means "after passing laws", "as quickly as possible", he "believes", the boats will still cross, but all will be deported "if necessary" and "sensible", "unless we have a duty of care". Bravo, Beth! 👏🏽

Yet their voters won't see this as an issue. YET if LAB had a pro-trans speaker at their conference.... You'd never hear the end of it from the Telegraph 🤦‍♂️.

This is a great read. And just going to leave this bit here …

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

For those that didn’t see it, Unioners made the BBC #fcunion #eisern www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Can anyone point me to the media story about the largest ever warship export deal ever agreed by the UK that was announced this morning? It’s worth £10bn. It will protect 4000 jobs, provide growth for up to 400 small businesses. Where is our bloody media?

This is an URGENT read! Don’t let this VITAL issue slip under the radar ! (As Brexit did - until it was too late!! ) Is Starmer advocating leaving the ECHR so that it’s more difficult to rejoin the EU and it protects his hand in the FreePorts/SEZ’s?? (@europeanpowell.bsky.social ?) May I be wrong 😭

Sick of BBC continuously promoting Reform U.K. and ignoring other parties with far more representation? Please sign the petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The BBC need to get better at challenging Farage's lies.

Now formally a woman, Sven Liebich has received an 18-month prison sentence for incitement of hatred and cheering on Russia’s war in Ukraine ✏️ Tanit Koch

lol the far right are kicking offff about me today, my days! GBNews &Guido have both even written up little articles about how unfair it all is that I am allowed to speak up for the decent people of this country on TV😭 No one tell them I'll be on BBC again this afternoon & GMB in the morning 🤫😉

An important thread. What is Reform UK up to? ~AA

“The current size of the map of Africa is wrong,” said Moky Makura, the executive director of Africa No Filter. “It’s the world’s longest misinformation and disinformation campaign, and it just simply has to stop.”

What a hypocrite. #Farage #Houseoflords
