Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform. And Farage knows his candidate is weak as. Hannah Spencer for the win.

People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

Thanks for all the messages of hope from my leaders interview with @bbclaurak.bsky.social This is it. This is our moment. We're taking on Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

True story...😅🤣 *Yes, from JB Pritzker's real account today.

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

Zack Polanski, "Labour are being completely subservient to Trump" "Nigel Farage and the far right are making us isolated, by removing us from our European neighbours and making us reliant on Donald Trump" "That also serves the interests of Putin" "This is a battle for the soul of our country"

More strong evidence that investment in cycling has massive financial and societal benefits. Over £115 million in value from a £15 million investment. The govt should be throwing money at these schemes. road.cc/content/news...

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has breached the MP’s code of conduct 17 times by failing to register interests on time

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

Great progress in new poll for Wales. Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th. Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.

If Trump is worried about Russia or China taking Greenland he should remember what NATO is there for. Greenland is protected by NATO but he’s dismantling that protection, and breaking the relationships that have existed since WWII.

Don't hold your breath. Labour absolutely stinks when it comes to walking and cycling. The only transport mode they seem to care about is driving.

Farage has been fully aligned with, and amplified by, Putin’s propaganda machine for over 12 years now, ever since he met the Russian Ambassador and got a regular slot on Russia today. Leave EU synchronised their messaging with the Kremlin. It’s all here bylinetimes.com/2024/06/19/t...

OUTRAGED minority still can’t cope with the idea that Brexit was tried, tested… and failed. 🤦‍♂️ 📊 Polling: • 5 million Leave voters passed • Youth voters back Rejoin • 1/3 of Leave now wants back in 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺Britain is pro-EU. ❌ The only people still keeping Brexit alive are the ones making money off it.

Also no

So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win. With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And nor should it. Farage is a dangerous racist and yet is being fast tracked into No.10 on a ruinous populist agenda, funded by shady right wing money and malign foreign interests. People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

It never stops. The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies. “In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.” They make damn sure they get what they want. We get screwed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

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

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

One of the most shameful incidents of WW2 was when the government and press scapegoated refugees, then decided to pack them off an a cramped ship, The HMT DUNERA and ship them to Australia. As they boarded the boat they were stripped of the valuables and robbed by the guards. Now government policy

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Reform: the party of the economically illiterate.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
