I went to the protest by myself and I was talking to a few people around me. One man said: 'I sincerely hope that China doesn't start bombing Los Angeles to free us from our fascist regime.' - Everyone was extremely solemn at that comment.

A man who called us extremists yesterday for wanting to bring down people bills is helping bomb schools today.

The Muslim community voting for a lady from a party led by a gay Jewish man is clearly… sectarianism?

As Mark Steel said, "Yes, gay Jews and female plumbers are well known to be supported by sectarian groups like al Qaeda and the Taliban. Just go to Afghanistan and you can't move for female plumbers."

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

Congratulations @greenpartyhan.bsky.social πŸ’š

The reality - it wasn't even close - despite Labour and Reform throwing everything they could at the @greenparty.org.uk

People saw through their cynicism and dirty tactics, and chose hope over division, unity over hate

Bring on the May locals ✊🏽

There is no real moderate position to be had between people who wish to live and people who wish them unalived, is there?

On the eve of the Gorton and Denton by-election, @itvpeston.bsky.social has spent about a third of the show talking about the Green Party, but apparently haven't invited anyone from the party on.

2 x Labour
1 x Tory
1 x Reform
0 x Green

Great job, folks. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

The billionaire-owned UK Establishment Media really has it out for @greenparty.org.uk

The Daily Mail newspaper that backed the Nazi's says:

Beware the Green Menace! 😁

A comparison between the events I describe here and the way those involved have been portrayed in the British media is ... illuminating

With all my heart I want to have Hannah with me in Parliament next week. She is not only the best candidate to beat Reform but just simply the best new MP you could wish for.

If you are voting today, choose Hannah, and tell everyone you meet to do the same! πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ™

Yeah I went to a former poly myself! It's just that the candidate isn't even the serious respected academic he claims to be.

Ok so the by-election in Gorton and Denton is now a two-way fight between:

πŸ’š a working class life-long resident of the area who is a self-employed plumber,
🀦 a polytechnic Jordan Peterson who lives 170 miles away.

quote from Haruki Murakami: β€œI keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind.

β€œBut to hold to such repetition for so longβ€”six months to a yearβ€”requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

This isn’t just a fight for Gorton & Denton. It isn’t even just a fight between Greens and Reform.

It’s an ideological fight between a millionaire-backed, cynical power grab Vs community organising, collective power and a much needed revitalisation of what democracy should be.

The Council of Europe did not vote to ban conversion therapy…

…according UK mainstream media. It didn’t happen, nothing happened. A bit like Las Vegas, what happens in the COE stays in the COE, according to MSM.

I suspect this would have been different had the COE voted the other way.

The cover art for the new Harry Styles album, except that the disco ball has been replaced with a green party logo, and instead of "Kiss all the time. Disco, occasionally" it says "Green all the time. Party, continually."

The climate and inequality crises are one and the same. We need:
