Remembering all those who lost their lives on 9/11, and all those whose lives have been affected in the years since.
First big weekend starts today! The Daily Mail being completely normal about the pressure Greens are putting on Labour. Vote Green on October 8th 💚
A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now
I grew up roman catholic, I don’t recall my priest telling me to discriminate against anyone, I got a love thy neighbour message. Now I’m a godless heathen and still don’t discriminate against people. What’s up with the hateful christian pastors?
Labour has delayed its plans to allow new North Sea drilling until after the Holborn and St Pancras byelection. A Green win on 8th October will add pressure on Labour to reverse this shortsighted and dangerous plan. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
People ‘incensed’ by North Sea plans can vote Green in byelection, says Zack Polanski
Party leader, who will contest Starmer’s former seat of Holborn and St Pancras, says gas drilling has come up on doorstep

Good thread this. Kemi’s embrace of a man - Lowe - and his party that thinks neither she, nor I, nor many, many other people should even be allowed in this country is completely wild
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 19h agoPeter’s of course right, but separately, wild to me that the Telegraph, a paper Kemi literally reads, keeps (rightly!) sledging Restore and even before “she should be asked what the hell she’s playing at”, what would it take for her to go “hmm, maybe shouldn’t give this guy a select committee post”.
73% describe Nigel Farage as sleazy. 71% say the same about Reform UK. The most striking finding may be that 41% of Reform’s own 2024 voters apply the label to Farage.

I'm delighted to welcome Councillor Bushra Bi to the Green Party, who has defected from Labour to our growing Green team in Birmingham. birmingham.greenparty.org.uk/2026/09/11/l...
or to put it another way, good news for first time buyers
Here’s my rant for today: I don’t care about the fairytale of your religion If it gets you through the day fine I will never criticize you for needing it I will criticize you for trying to shove it down people’s throats In the words of my generation Fuck off 🖕
If you have a big story about Reform and approach them for comment it seems they go quiet and then quickly give the news to a friendly outlet (ie the Telegraph). Lesson seems to be: don’t approach Reform.
A very sad day for Britain. Compassion is no longer a part of our culture.
bsky.app/profile/pete... This is getting beyond a joke. Money should never be able to influence politics. The gap between rich and poor is such that the rich think they can buy everything for their exclusive benefit.
Peter Geoghegan@petergeoghegan.bsky.social · 18h agoThis is completely on Andy Burnham Last week Labour could have stopped this. Now we have a single person giving more money than the entire general election spending limit for a political party www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...
THE REPORT THEY TRIED TO HIDE. Empty shelves. Water shortages. Food security at risk. The government cannot keep hiding the scale of the threat. It must release the report in full and act on it.
Lauren Edwards MP raises the case of Christie Arntsen who has lived with incurable metastatic breast cancer for more than a decade which has returned for the fifth time. Christie fears a difficult death, and says if assisted dying was an option a weight would have been lifted from her mind
Brilliant letter in The Journal 👏 No other policy offers a better way to grow the UK economy than EU membership. Do you want to see your letter in your local paper? Then use our template:
"Our country is by no means perfect, nor has it ever been, but patriotism should not mean blindly praising the land in which you live. True patriotism, real patriotism, comes from seeing the country as it is - and believing that its people deserve better," writes Joshua Edwicker. Read here:

Bananarama have sold over 30 million records. #SiobhanFahey #Bananarama
More breaking news: Nigel Farage to give every adult British citizen (white) £5000 if Reform win the next General Election.
Sorry? Not sorry. If you're upset and trying to prevent history from being taught to hide the truth, then fuck your feelings. You learned nothing and are the exact same assholes as your ancestors.
Humanists UK and other campaigners are out in force on Parliament Square today - urging MPs to vote in favour of assisted dying. Vote for compassion, vote for choice!
Len our ‘Reform UK’ butcher in the village has gone full Danny Tommo. For 2 pork chops Jill in the village shop has agreed to knit him a black balaclava so he can go about incognito. He’s started slapping his wife, smoking Spice & telling us all he is protecting ‘are dawters.’ 😳
So Trump is promising all adult citizens $5,000 if Republicans win the next election. Where's he going to find 1 trillion, 349 billion dollars? There are people in this country dumb enough to believe this is going to happen, and this is why we can't have nice things.
