It is also transphobic, homophobic and anti-immigration. And note - Galloway is openly friendly to the nationalist far right inc Farage. If the Green Party is serious about being on the left, it should delete this and state its opposition to the politics of Galloway and co.

Whatever electoral calculation, a serious political error for anyone on the left to praise even elements of Galloway's vile party. It may oppose the genocide in Gaza, but it supports other genocides. It supports Russia's war on Ukraine. It is not antiracist or internationalist.

About time and appropriate that it's local direct action rather than further draining council budgets. The flag people are intensely selfish

Arguably more significant than defections, internal party politics and the Beckhams… In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles. We need to challenge the nonsense spread by anti vaxxers and ensure children are protected.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Ultimately you're not supposed to believe it. It not mattering is the point. The bolder the lie, the greater the impunity. The ultimate victory for evil is not convincing you, it's the truth being irrelevant.

This scumbag. Article 5 has been triggered once, by America. Soldiers from allies from the UK to Denmark died because the US requested their help. And this fucking president says he’s not sure allies would come to the US’s defence.

Trump sent out a batsh!t crazy letter yesterday and people once again fell for it. The real story is not the letter, its just another tactic to get what he wants. It shows how he despises Europe and is helping Putin. Yet people comfort themselves by mocking him.

I would add that while politicians can certainly do things that erode community life (*cough* austerity, though that only exacerbated existing issues), you can’t just magic it into being, though resources help. But it needs hard work on the ground- and encouraging scapegoating makes it harder.

In light of the weekend’s events - with Trump launching a trade war on the UK because we’re not wildly enthusiastic about annexing other countries on a whim - I have a few follow-up questions for the Telegraph columnists and commentators who’ve previously made some fairly… adventurous assertions.

The inevitable conclusion of all of this is and always will be: "elections matter, and the more your opponent is clearly telegraphing their desire to overthrow the social contract & rule by fear, the more they must not win the election."

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing. But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

The government desperately needs to recognise this is not a force to indulge or embrace, that they cannot simply ignore it, and yet they do not seem to see any urgency to do so, and their lack of will is being gleefully exploited by an increasingly openly racist right.
