So it's imperative we know just how wealthy--and powerful--they are. There are now 3,428 billionaires in the world worth a collective $20.1 trillion--$4 trillion richer than last year. The richest, once again, is Elon Musk, worth an estimated $839 billion.

It was a privilege to be in the chamber earlier to witness this incredibly powerful and effective speech from Charlotte Nichols.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms: It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment. We must protect jury trials.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we celebrate ALL women. Solidarity is crucial in the struggle against patriarchy. Whether we’re cis or trans we share that struggle. This year’s theme is ‘Give To Gain’ emphasizing the power of reciprocity and support. #InternationalWomensDay #Solidarity

On International Women's Day, let’s celebrate the bravery of those who have changed the world through protest. Let’s also remember the catastrophic price that women pay in war — and vow to build a more peaceful world for all.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.

Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed. Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points. @greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them! The majority of the UK is with me, no more illegal wars! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So Keir Starmer has dragged the UK into an illegal US-Israel war against Iran and we aren’t being told who launched the drone that is the pretext for our involvement? The British public have a right to know the truth.

The Green Party has been consistent on our position. We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime. And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

Labour could bring back our water into public hands but they care more about investors than they do about you

Feargal Sharley on today's Bold Politics: linktr.ee/boldpolitics

Labour PM can't even be bothered to finish abolishing *feudalism*, they're never gonna get around to capitalism

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold. He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold. 5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

There's nothing the establishment is more scared of them a calm, kind, thoughtful gardener who happens to be a Muslim man in politics. We'll stand together. Solidarity Mothin.

The problem wasn't really the negative campaign. The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies. And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe. Let's have *that* conversation. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Oh it's GB news. No wonder the interviewer is being such an idiot. To use 'God is great' as evidene for someone being a bad person is such a racist and an anti-Islamic thing to say. Like you can say it if you're Christian but not for any other religion. 🤦🏻‍♂️

"If you marched against the war in Iraq, no one could really say you supported Saddam Hussein [...] Khamenei was a right wing hardliner in Iranian politics [...] Mothin is a leftist following a gay vegan Jewish leader." @benmclaine.bsky.social defends @mothinali.bsky.social on GB News 💚✊ #Iran

Solidarity, Mothin 💚

When "collective self defence" decodes as slavish collaboration with an insane warmongerer who has put many of our civilians and military at risk.

I'm pleased to see that oil prices and share prices are helping to clarify that the capitalist world is addicted to fossil fuels and that climate summits have made no dent in the demand for planet wrecking combustion of prehistoric energy. Now maybe we can point out that energy security matters?

Keir Starmer when you were running for Labour leader you promised to introduce this legislation to stop the UK being dragged into illegal wars - it's time to show you were serious about that.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular. This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better. And we're making hope normal again - together. news.sky.com/story/greens...

The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern. Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.

Keir Starmer is dragging Britain into an illegal war. Mark my words: this will prove to be a catastrophic, historic mistake.

Day 1. Hope is already feeling a lot more normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I don’t want a single penny from British taxpayers to pay for wealthy tax-dodgers in Dubai to safely come home. They thought they didn’t need us because they greedily refused to pay their fair share … let Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott come crawling back with their own money.

Many MPs claim to care about nature. Tomorrow afternoon will be the test. On Tuesday 3rd March there will be a debate in Parliament on red lines for nature. We’ll be watching to see who shows up. Empty seats will say a lot. Tell us who you expect to see there tomorrow. 👇

5/5 Parliament must have the final say. The use of British bases for offensive military action cannot be waved through as an executive decision. It requires scrutiny, transparency and a vote.

4/5 After what we have witnessed in Gaza, the idea that the UK should facilitate further offensive military action by two leaders whose judgment and conduct are deeply contested internationally raises profound moral and strategic questions.

1/5 If UK assets are being used strictly for defensive purposes to protect lives and prevent missile attacks, that is one thing. But allowing British bases to be used for what looks increasingly like a war of aggression led by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu is another matter entirely.

keir starmer also belongs in that group. i also think it's lower than 28%-29%, why even make a distinction like this between one percentage point?

Keir Starmer abandoned net zero to court Reform voters. He failed

War is not a game. This shameful decision makes Britain complicit in the devastating consequences ahead - and jeopardises the safety of us all.

Allowing British bases to be used in an illegal war of aggression is a catastrophic and historic mistake. Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law.

I don't want a UK government subservient to a deranged maniacal US President and administration. Its time for the UK to make a stand, not fold like a cheap seat.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Imagine being fresh out of a by-election where your party loses by 5000 votes to the @greenparty.org.uk and your take away from it is ‘war, we haven’t gotten into enough wars, this is what the people want’ 🙃🤡

NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases. Leader Ed Davey says: “No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”

Live footage of Keir Starmer:

The Keir Starmer Story

Starmer must withdraw permission for the US to use UK bases to launch airstrikes on Iran and parliament must be given a vote on any UK involvement.

We now face being dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East which has now pulled in multiple countries. People in this country do not want this and it must not be allowed to happen.

The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.

Nigel Farage: The same man who built his career demonising refugees is cheerleading an illegal war that would create millions more. Just another lapdog for US imperialism.

Please subject Nigel Farage to this same level of grilling. Thank you. Well done Zack. A leader we can all be proud of. Someone who absolutely deserves to be in that position. A man with more diplomacy skills than every other leader in my lifetime, put together 👏🏼

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
