Drama Amid Bin New York, Passenger Arrival Lists (Ellis Island), 1892-1925

A billionaire Trump mega-donor is set to make millions from Thames Water’s takeover bid. Overseas hedge fund lenders are demanding more power to pollute our waters, dodge fines and hike bills to service debt. Privatised water is a scam. Bring it back into public hands.

It’s fucking mental that the sensible politics understanders are now wandering around shouting about how greens should step aside so Burnham can save the world and can’t fathom why we’re telling them to stick it up their arses.

If Labour wanted the Greens to stand down in Makerfield, then Labour should have stood down in Gorton and Denton. They didn't. They did this instead. They were happy to risk a Reform victory there. www.thenational.scot/news/2589179...

Okay I see a picture forming on why Southampton didn't just get a fine

Andy Burnham latest. Anyone wanna tell me why the Greens must step aside today? I could use a good laugh.

Are you going to apologise for consistently supporting and voting for it all when you were an MP then, Andy?

Absolutely dying at how badly Streeting has miscalculated this the ham faced dweeb

*Taps the sign*

We're all trying to find the guys that did this!

Congrats Caroline on your fell for it again award

Fart of Midloseian

It's probably worth pointing out Reform and Farage have backed PR publicly for years so by Lucas' logic there's really no need to change anything here because we just take everyone on their word 🤗

Wigan & Leigh's Green Party comms on point 💚

This by-election will be the focus of UK politics for weeks. The Green Party cannot allow Burnham to go unchallenged from the left or allow Reform to set the terms of debate alone. At the very least we must hold him to account. But we must aim to win.

Um, if Andy Burnham needs the Greens to step aside to win a seat that Labour currently holds, that Labour has held since it was created, what exactly is supposed to be the point of him?

Thankfully there are no historical examples of a Labour politicians' desire for electoral reform evaporating upon contact with No. 10's threshold

Obviously the best way to get electoral reform is to give Labour a free ride at the exact moment we're exerting the most pressure on them from the left in living memory. Astounding such an experienced politician can be this stupid...

Andy Burnham's greatest hits:

Josh Simons is standing down as Labour MP for Makerfield to make room for Andy Burnham. Is he well? Surely Reform take this?

Social media pundits have explicitly stated political agendas. Legacy media *pretends* to not have any agenda, other than keeping you informed. Its no wonder that the former are winning and the latter are losing. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

This from the Japanese shopkeeper simulator game InKonbini really tickled me. It sounds like what you'd put in our bowls if English people were pets. "Come on Terry, eat your kibble."

Another sternly worded letter from the absolute bozos in the Socialist Campaign Group then

This is the essence of why Labour are fucked. They're never going to move left to appease Greens bc they've spent a decade trashing the left & no matter how right they go they're never winning back Reformers who have been propagandised into seeing Starmer as a mix of Pol Pot and Hassan al-Banna.

At the risk of sounding insane: I'm looking for an image that did the rounds on left twitter back in the day. It was an old timey cartoon of a man who looked somewhat like Starmer saying "you may think i'm soft but I'm hard. Damned hard."

Your Party's best result if anyone was curious

Yesssss congrats Wales GP. First ever Green MS!

RELEASE THANGAM DEBBONAIRE

So have we gained 53 or 18 councillors I'm confused

Yeah sorry Martin

BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!

Extremely funny

I guess the Labour right shouldn't have spent years telling everyone Labour had an antisemitism problem.

I have acquired two Boy's Own magazines from the 1940s. They have not disappointed in providing some wonderful examples of one of my favourite things: insane old-timey advertising

It's my birthday today and every year I genuinely look forward to pouring over local election results as part of it 🤣

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Rare orange boy cuddle

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Antisemitism and Jewish safety is not some abstract concept for me. In fact, in the last 6 weeks alone 2 people have been arrested in relation to antisemitic actions towards me and yesterday the Times newspaper published a vile antisemitic cartoon.."

General: That barrage damaged it! It's hurt! *cheers from soldiers* *smoke clears* General: PULL OUT!!! PULL OUT!!!

What a party gay 70 is!

greens: *elect a jewish dude with an overwhelming majority* guardian: inside the greens antisemitism struggle.

They're actually going to do the same attack plan again and then look around mystified when Reform win a landslide.

They both made the effort to dress smartly and he looks like he ran all the way there on a hot day, stopping only to bathe in every horse trough he passed.
