Isn't it peculiar the amount of media coverage that alleged "family voting" gleaned, whereas the police investigation that declared voting clear and aboveboard has so little?
Reform offered hate. We offered hope. Hope won. The police say his accusations of cheating are baseless. Farage is a bad loser.
The suspect planned to assassinate this pro-Palestinian advocate by firebombing her home. He is a member of a branch of the “Jewish Defense League,” a Zionist Jewish supremacist group designated in both the US and Israel as a terrorist organization. The JDL was founded by the late Meir Kahane.
Breaking News: Law enforcement officials are said to have disrupted a plot to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani, the leader of one of New York’s most active pro-Palestinian protest groups.
Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties. That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it. The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.
Didn't expect Daily Mail to be doing free branding. Lower bills, protect the NHS and fund public services. Can imagine why Lord Rothermere isn't so keen.... Join.greenparty.org.uk
History tells us that US-led regime change efforts abroad almost never bring positive results. Here are seven US regime-change wars — and how disastrously they turned out. Read here: zeteo.com/p/seven-us-r...
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
I wonder what the average city centre in the USA could do with $151,000,000
NEW: The Trump-Vance-Rubio administration has once again bypassed Congress to push through a $151.8 million bomb sale to Israel —>
Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war. Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

Speaking with @aaronjbastani.bsky.social in the early hours after the epic win. We talk about some of the despicable tactics of the Labour campaign. My assumption was it would be in the past but I already think they've learnt nothing. We're just getting started... youtu.be/vRvGz2Ebpp8?...

Labour say their economic plan is working. Who for? Families trying to put food on the table? Renters facing yet another rent hike? Billpayers lining the pockets of water company shareholders? It's time for the Government to get real on the cost of living crisis.
Great pushback from @benmclaine.bsky.social "If you marched against the war in Iraq, no one could really say you supported Sadam Hussein" is one we're going to have to keep reminding people of. Disgust at war is not endorsement of murderous regimes. It IS an indictment of murderous regime change.
"If you marched against the war in Iraq, no one could really say you supported Saddam Hussein [...] Khamenei was a right wing hardliner in Iranian politics [...] Mothin is a leftist following a gay vegan Jewish leader." @benmclaine.bsky.social defends @mothinali.bsky.social on GB News 💚✊ #Iran

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
"[The Republican Party] finally got their man to help them do [a regime change war in Iran]. A mentally desiccated, elderly racist game show host."
@nojusticemtg.bsky.social absolutely spitting facts about the UK’s involvement in the attacks on Iran, at the behest of a psychotic orange nonce 🤦♂️🤦♂️ youtu.be/V8F3pXELZBE?...

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump? Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars. The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?
So what do the Greens actually want to do with their decriminalisation of drugs? What would the system look like? Hopefully this thread will clear up your questions. There is a short term and long term answer to the Green’s drug policy: 🧵
I was feeling a bit sad, but then I remembered that Keir Starmer faces electoral oblivion at the next election, and now I feel much better 😌😌
The IRGC are likely to mine the Strait of Hormuz, driving up petrol prices. The left is often right too early & we should capitalise on this & Reform's support for Trump: (1) Make Farage own this & incoming price rises 📈 (2) Argue that green energy= energy independence ♻️

😆 🤣 😂 "Hello, police? I just witnessed a fucking murder!"
Thanks for all the kind comments! I do agree that the Green Party seems to be interviewed with so much more hostility than anyone else. But you know what - bring it on. 💚 youtu.be/cpVOHPYnnmE?...

Here is a long thread I wrote explaining what Green Party Policy says that they actually want to do when legalising & regulating drugs An important read for people defending the Greens against upcoming MSM smears 👇🏻👇🏻

One of a few threads I'm creating that clarifies the Greens Drug Policy and how to defend it 👇🏻👇🏻 This one is about "enhancing human relationships & creativity": what that means and what it doesn't.
Critics often claim the greens believe drugs can “enhance human relationships and human creativity.” This is misleading as the Greens are using the term “drugs” here more broadly, and is mostly a reference to the use of alcohol 🧵

Trump defended the operation, calling it a "noble mission."
