It's Greens Vs Reform.
This Thursday we can stop Reform and have a new Green MP in Parliament.
Hannah, the local plumber, who works really hard and will be a brilliant representative for Gorton & Denton.

Final weekend. One last push.
This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.
It's hope vs hate.
It's Greens vs Reform.
Hope can win.
Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.
On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.
On Thursday help us make hope normal again.
Noticeable both Reform and the Labour Government are using indistinguishable attack lines.
Both parties protect wealth and power and take dodgy donations.
They'll do anything to stop the Green Party.
Together though - we're unstoppable:

This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter
In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career.
I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters.
Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The rest of the world is pissing themselves because Americans can no longer mock us about goalless draws in football #worldseries
So,
1) The Kirk tweet I was criticizing was about Mamdani, not me. But sure, we Muslims look all the same, right?
2) He spells my name wrong.
3) Kirk's murder was bad, that doesn't make his Islamophobia good.
4) Does the VP really have nothing to do all day except... quote-tweet at people like me?

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism
And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.
It’s really that simple.
(So many shameless hypocrites around.)
The most rabidly bigoted and Islamophobic Republican member of Congress retweeting/quote-tweeting approvingly a rabidly bigoted, in-context Charlie Kirk tweet. Glad to see Republicans are actually sharing Kirk's actual words now.
The picture of Trump and Epstein was still up for the arrival of Trump and Melania! 🤣🤣🤣
Windsor Castle right now waiting for Trump’s arrival 🤣
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.
The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.
Vaccines save lives. Period.
