The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory! Huge congratulations to Zoë and the entire team. Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried. And we're making hope normal again.

Remember in today's elections there are some parties who would jail this pensioner for being right 1. Antisemitism is real & revolting; 2. To march against a UK government that supports genocide is to march *against* hate; 3. There is nothing 'Jewish' about Netanyahu's crimes; #SolidarityPalestine

So tough for Chris Mason on election day, unable to promote Farage and Reform until the polls shut.

socialistworker.co.uk/news/gas-sup... Millions of people in the Global South are seeing the effects of fuel rationing and can expect to be driven further into poverty. In Britain, households will see their annual energy bills surge by hundreds of pounds in July.

Oh, so you mean the US Government has been lying to us about the cost of the war and the "total victory", etc.? Who would have guessed. 🙄

UPCOMING GIGS! I’m really looking forward to all of these. Two dates in Belgium and one in London at Iklectik Level. London always pops off! Tickets at warringtonruncorn.com/live

LW Politician: let slightly raise taxes on the incredibly rich to invest in public services. Media: woke idiot will ruin us all! RW politician: lets burn public services to the ground to pay for a tax cut for people so rich they won’t notice it. Media: this man speaks for us all, he the chosen one

Don’t vote for fascists. Seems weird to have to say that.

Cathy Newman "Thailand-based Chris Harborne has given you and your party £17 million.. Interfering in democracy" Nigel Farage runs away

Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"

We have a toxic combination of low wages and high bills. We need to make life affordable for everyone. Make hope normal again & Vote Green. 💚 (& remember to take photo ID to the polling station!)

4 UK newspaper depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party. In no order: Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun. Nothing from Government or BBC about this antisemitic display. But ban pro-Palestine marches because they (without one shred of evidence) promote antisemitism.

In May's The Spectrum Monitor, I explore varied on-air offerings of England’s community radio stations: From re-purposed former cotton mills to former schools, these stations find a home and an audience, proving that UK community radio is very much alive. thespectrummonitor.com/may2026tsm.a...

Activists in NYC projected a message on the side of Jeff Bezos’ $120 million penthouse ahead of the Met Gala. “Shame on you, Jeff Bezos.”

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

What a Happy Hastings Jack in the Green it was! #jitg #jitg2026 #Hastings #jackinthegreen

I have never heard a TV presenter say "don't try that on me" to a single other politician. Not one. Just refusing to take what he says at face value. They'll do this to the Jewish leftist, but never to the bigots who blame immigration for everything.

It is fascinating how Polanski brings out the snarling hatred in mainstream broadcasters who never get noticeably furious with the far right Even Ed Balls!

Still waiting for @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir Starmer to condemn this cartoon published in the Times for being anti-Semitic. The image of Polanski is on a par with images of Jews published by the Nazis. Won’t hold my breath.

🇬🇧 It’s no longer even up for debate, the bbc british State Broadcaster is fully engaged in an information/disinformation Propaganda War on the campaign for Scottish independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Has Electoral Commission finished ‘weighing’ Farage’s undisclosed 5 million pound gift Reform claims was ‘private’? And if it was an undisclosed ‘private’ donation why wasn’t it declared in member’s interests and has the millions of tax been paid on the gift? INVESTIGATE REFORM’S FINANCES NOW.

A May Day protester is asked why they are out protesting today in NYC: "People are suffering. People are dying. The rich get richer off the backs of poor and working class people." Nailed it!

Downtown LA massive March ✊

socialistworker.co.uk/anti-racism/... Police were repeatedly & violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head already incapacitated by Taser. Police supposedly banned from intervening in electoral politics. Yet Rowley waded in days before a local election when the Greens expected to do well

ITALY: Over 10,000 people take to the streets of Rome after the interception of 22 boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla and the kidnapping of 170+ activists who were on board.

Furtively Funded Farage was 'furious' over Labour leaders receiving a few thousand in freebies (Free Gear Keir, etc), perhaps forgetting the millions he had been gifted. 🤔
