Sadiq Khan - Labour must stop imitating 'Reform'. "In all my mayoral elections in London, I asked potential Green supporters to lend me their vote so that we could deliver progressive policies to build a fairer, safer, greener and more prosperous London for everyone. Many did, but it only […]

Josh Simons MP embodies a surprisingly high number of the worst attributes of the #starmer/#McSweeney/#Mandelson axis. He was parachuted into a safe seat by the Labour NEC, when he should really have been expelled. Now he has been allowed to resign as a minister, when he should have been […]

Am I right in assuming that the US is going to be kicked out of the World Cup and other sporting competitions like Russia was for starting a war? That is how the rules work, right?

Okay, so my main takeaway from the whole by-election was I LOVE this shirt - where can I get it from??? #ukpolitics #gortonanddenton

UK #LabourParty's #triangulation steategy broke in #GortonAndDenton, after 39 years. The idea was to make the left vote for centrist policies as the only viable alternative to the right. But now the Greens have taken that left vote, and won. No Labour seat is […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

Starmer's "If you don't like it, you can leave" will go down as one of the greatest political speeches in the Green Party's history

Let’s not forget that the Conservative Party lost their deposit 😂 #ukpolitics

I won't be drawing any conclusions from the Gorton and Denton by election results because take a look around you. U.K. politics is a bin fire. #ukpolitics #gortonanddenton

And after spending their entire campaign telling Gorton and Denton to vote tactically for the Green Party, now there will be ZERO mentions from the Green Party that theirs was a tactical victory. Something, something, Green Wave. #ukpolitics #gortonanddenton

Can confirm, I am one of those former Labour voters who are never coming back. Sell out to the Epstein Class and see where it gets you #ZackPolanski #greenparty #gortonanddenton #labour #gpew #epsteinClass #ukpol #ukpolitics

The thing is, nobody really wants the job of Labour Leader right now.... #ukpol #ukpolitics #labour #keirstarmer #starmer #unison #andreaegan

@uglygame.bsky.social Matt Goodwin has taken defeat with characteristic charm and good grace though. #arsehole #ukpolitics #ukpol #gortonanddenton

Yay! Green Party wins Gorton and Denton by-election with Labour pushed into third by Reform #ukpolitics https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp8rjk02r0jt

And of COURSE the first two #r4today political interviewees after 7am to discuss the Green by-election victory are… two Labour MPs. Great work, lads. #ukpolitics #ukpol #gortonanddenton

Holy crap the Greens did it! Went to bed, fearing the worst (even had a dream about it), but woke to amazing news. Hell, I'm not even in Manchester & I'm stoked! 2 fingers to the Farage fascists, & a hell of a warning shot across Kier's bows (not that he'll pay a blind bit of attention to it 🙄) […]

Absolutely brilliant news that #hannahspencer has won the #gortondenton by-election for the #greenparty What a testament to the hard work of #gpew volunteers and a victory for hope over the divisive politics of the far right and the dead-end of #uklabour

It's a reminder that Brexit had nothing to do with our interests. It was an elite project backed by extreme rightwing billionaires and their concierges, many of whom had no vote or standing in this country. Yet it was packaged as patriotism by the very people collaborating with foreign interests.

Pippa Heylings MP: "The Institute for European Environmental Policy has found that since Brexit, the EU has introduced 28 new or strengthened pieces of environmental legislation that the UK has not adopted." "We have weakened protections in habitats, pesticides, forever, chemicals and fisheries."

🇺🇦 Boris Johnson said he supported Ukraine’s membership of the EU and Nato, adding that Brexit had caused a “pretty big vacancy”. Johnson has some cheek to go out batting for Ukraine's EU membership after taking the UK out of Europe and into a period of deep isolation...

🧑‍🏫 "There is a very real risk of making degrees something only those with family wealth and security are encouraged to pursue." 📄 Whether it is the student loan crisis, cost of living or the fallout from Brexit and lost opportunities - Britain's youth are getting a rough deal.

Explaining the fediverse is simple. It's social media for people who hate social media. There aren't that many people on it? Feature. It's not that addictive or even engaging? Feature. You can't make money on it and it won't help your career? Feature.

After many years of using the Weather Underground app on Android I decided to have a look around and see what else is currently available, long & short of my brief investigation is that I'm now seeing if Breezy Weather can fulfill my weather forecasting needs.

ICYMI: "Fundamentally UK politicians must acknowledge the reality that a distant trade relationship inevitably means barriers, frustrations and economic costs, while closeness requires compromise with sometimes difficult asks," writes @davidheniguk.bsky.social.

Key allies are moving away from the US. The Brexiteers' promise of a close relationship with the US never materialised - and left us isolated. We need closer relations with the EU.

Keir Starmer: “We are not the Britain of the Brexit years anymore. Because we know that, in dangerous times, we would not take control by turning inward — we would surrender it. And I won’t let that happen." https://www.ft.com/content/beee83f7-6e88-4e49-87c4-802d9dff9053
