Blair sparks row with Starmer after claiming UK ‘should have backed Trump’ in Iran The former prime minister told a private event that Labour ‘had better show up’ for Washington

The #Iraq War was wrong then. The #Iran War is wrong now. A never ending cycle of death, destruction and chaos is the only thing that will come from this.

So when they strike a school or other civilian facility, we can be reassured that it was a precision strike.

While we're hooked on oil & gas we're vulnerable to price shocks caused by a rogue US president.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Invest in renewables, insulate our homes, cut the cost of living.

Labour could bring back our water into public hands but they care more about investors than they do about you

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Exactly. I mean, far from this doing any damage to Ash Sarkar, Novara Media sells "I'm literally a communist" t-shirts.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

She needs reminding that there US and UK were responsible for the overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh's democratic government in Iran.

The conversation about housing is all wrong.

For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed.

Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue.

Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

I haven't taken one sick day off since I started regularly working from home in 2020.

I have had a few (mild-ish) viruses in that time, but I'm not infecting anyone else, and something which would stop me going into the office doesn't seem so bad when the commute is from bedroom to spare room.

I do think the Green Party needs publicly-accessible explainers on the full policy, and maybe an episode of Bold Politics. Obviously, there's a limit Zack can go into when put on the spot, but not ideal that if someone wants to know more they need a member login to the GP web site.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, do you regret not standing in Gorton & Denton yourself?

No, says Zack, because in the Greens we aren't unprincipled opportunists who parachute ourselves into seats to further our own careers (in so many words) #GMB
