Raise £12bn in budget by extending income tax thresholds freeze, says a Fabian Society. The poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Hitting low/middle income people won't aid growth. Tax dividends and capital gains at the same rate as wages. Tax the rich

I absolutely loved this conversation with @tiakofi.bsky.social. I just had a look at the comments - and brilliant to see people loving it just as much as I did. Check it out. 👇🏼 youtu.be/EJEsWArJsLU?...

Keir Starmer shouldn't wait until the likely fiasco of the May local elections. If he has any concern for party and country, he should step aside now, giving his successor as long as possible to undo the damage of his disastrous premiership and restore hope in politics.

One of the most refreshing things about the Caerphilly by-election result was the stark contrast between voters’ actual views and mainstream media reporting or Reform’s social-media boosterism. Media, how about more genuine reporting instead of lazy output based on X’s biased algorithm?

Never forget the people on Flight 93 who intentionally crashed in PA to save the White House from destruction. #LetsRoll

Absolutely this @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Let’s make sure the next 4 years are just like this. Let’s keep Labour/Reform/Tories out.

Voting for other parties than Labour does NOT let Reform in. Voting for other parties than Labour means other parties can win.

Of course. Their snouts are constantly in the troughs ready to make the most of every opportunity to access the spoils of corruption… 😏well, whilst they can anyway!

Check out our latest data highlighting @zackpolanski.bsky.social's impact on broadcast media - all in @metro.co.uk Mission Control, our analytics tool, reveals that the Greens are up 44% while every other major party has fallen by as much as 85%. metro.co.uk/2025/10/23/b...

If and when Labour try and turn slightly back to the centre and the left, don’t give them an inch. Don’t trust the Labour Party ever again.

Worth remember that the Caerphilly win for @plaidcymru.bsky.social is a victory against the immigrant hating bigots that back Reform & Labour. A victory for one Welsh mum and her son soo. caerphilly.observer/news/1054382...

Reeves considers adding 1p to basic rate or raising higher or additional tax rates. There must be no tax rise for the bottom 50%. Must tax dividends & capital gains at same rate as wages, restrict tax relief on pension contributions to basic rate only. HMRC hasn't collected over £500bn since 2010

A green surge is happening! 📈 A new poll has the @scottishgreens.org on track to be the 2nd biggest party in Scotland. People need hope and we are the ones offering it.

Heh. I keep smiling about Reform totally not winning in Caerphilly. It's just the best outcome considering how much Nigel was swagging about. Genuinely great news.

To pretend that Labour is now influential in Wales makes no sense at all when the swing against it is so glaringly obvious. In just one year they have committed political suicide

Congratulations to PC for winning the by election in Caerphilly. I am so pleased a socially responsible human being won and beat off Reform. Needless to say Labour lost royally.

Nigel Farage, four weeks ago: "We intend to win this by-election. We will throw everything at it." Tap-dance all you like now.

No way back for Labour. No chance any progressive will vote for them again. It’s like being a Tory voter in their last few years, just weird and embarrassing for them.

Supporters of centrism are now offering up 'Labour could still win with a change of direction' No chance. The ship has sailed. They turned on everyone that supported them. It's over. Done. Finished. Would not trust that party with a barge poll.

Why the Caerphilly by-election result shows Nigel Farage's party is much weaker than most of the coverage of Reform suggests bylinetimes.com/2025/10/24/t...

"I don't think Reform have got any interest in what goes on around here. They're just a load of multimillionaires from England.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country. Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

Well done PC and the good people of Caerphilly who voted for them 👏!

Govt publishes England water companies' league of sewage dumping and pollution . Worst since 2011. 9 companies collectively received 19 out of possible 36 stars. Thames Water the lowest rating of 1. Seven firms score only 2. No fines on execs. No exec prosecuted. Dividends paid. Customers fleeced

Fascist Reform, with their four MPs, are on BBC Question Time AGAIN. --> Instant switch off.

This Labour government hate the disabled, the vulnerable and the mentally ill. Since their election last year Labour has terrified disabled individuals and made their lives worse via cruel policy and hateful rhetoric. Anyone still voting Labour you really should be ashamed of yourself.

From across the pond I say yes to Prop 50. I can't vote obviously but I stand with my cousins suffering Trump's tyranny who desperately want him gone.

A Reform Government will be Thatcherism on speed, will grovel and bend to Trumps desires, will turn on any British citizen that it doesn’t like, and of course pander to the rich and wealthy. Surely nobody in their right mind wants this?

DOUBLED!!! Absolutely extraordinary. Thank you everyone. This is the movement. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Mehdi Hasan, "Is rejoining the EU a Green Party aim" Zack Polanski, "Yes it is" And just like that, the Green Party have leapfrogged the LibDems

Speaking at the ILGA-Europe conference in Vilnius; the For (Transphobic) Women Scotland decision features heavily alongside Trump and Orban in the introduction. That decision, in which the @supremecourt.uk locked trans people out of the hearing, has made us a recognised world leader in bigotry.

"I do think stopping Nigel Farage has to be a huge mission in this country, but the biggest way we can stop Nigel Farage is by people joining the Green Party right now. We are creating the actual alternative to this Labour government ready to take on Reform." Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is very good

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution. This week's column explains what we're missing and why it's so important. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

UK big four banks on course to pocket annual profits of more than £45bn. Bank branches vanishing. Profits from high charges, low interest rates on savings, scandals, speculation. Govt must levy windfall taxes on banks.

Coming from the same woman that advocated for forced chemical castration of prisoners, this is not surprising in the slightest.

How dare the Human Rights Watchdog have a view on Human Rights?! /s Absolute state of this. If I went back in time even two years and told people a Labour cabinet would be attacking the ECHR and threatening to withdraw from it, I'd be laughed out the building.

Pretty shocking, this, from a barrister and former Lord Chancellor. Shabana Mahmood, disgracefully peddling misinformation about the Human Rights watchdog.

Who was Charles Dickens's best friend? What journeys did they go on? When did they catch an STD and how did they joke about it? When did they last meet before Dickens's death? And how did their friendship last beyond the grave? bit.ly/4ndo53S Answers in this new talk with slides

Labour is dead in Wales and Scotland. Congratulations 'Blue Labour'. Congratulations McSweeney and Starmer. Congratulations "fiscal rules" Reeves. Vote PC in Wales, and SNP in Scotland to keep fascist Reform out.

Today’s Caerphilly specific poll shows clearly that unless progressive voters unite with Plaid Cymru, Reform will win. Greens, Lib Dems and disillusioned Labour supporters - by uniting, we can stop Reform’s division taking root in Wales and deliver positive change 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Labour should stand down in Scotland and Wales. That they insist on splitting the vote tells me they are fine with enabling reform.

This is the most fecking awful Labour Government in my lifetime Why not Blair? Because Starmer is influenced by Blairism & l feel that Tony Blair hasn't gone away, meddling, so l lumped them together One awful decision after another pushing people to the grievance mongers of Reform In 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 l'd vote🟢
