This is precisely why they're the demographic who are designing (and using) AI sex bots.
"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton β and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it."

Dubai is built on slave labour. It's a microcosm of patriarchal capitalism, with all the punitive hierarchies that entails. The only diversity they celebrate is rich, white, cis-het people being able to order takeaway from a dozen different cultures.

I am genuinely mortified for the staff. It's enough to bring on a migraine just from queuing for five minutes, nevermind a full shift.
For the attention of whomever decided that our local, semi-rural post office should be renovated entirely in black and grey, with LED lighting, and the windows all blocked off... you are to interior design what norovirus is to the average intestinal tract.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: βA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.β I suppose I shouldnβt be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said βwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.β She said βmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when β¦
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
They know this is a catastrophe.

When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.
He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Bad news: that techno-driven dystopia we envisioned in our nightmares has arrived earlier than we feared.
Worse news: much of its horror is down to sheer bloody incompetence as much as the tech itself.
Fuck this tech and all who sail in her.

If you are visiting glorious Brighton on this sunny day (as you definitely should), please be aware that at Churchill Square this van is live scanning everyoneβs faces and making the city look more like a police state than the gorgeous day out it is!

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.
New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:
π’ Green Party: Β£189,010
π£ Reform UK: Β£5,456,000
Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

Migrants & refugees have always been, and always will be, part of who we are as a country. Migration is a story as old as time. People coming here to live is part of the patchwork that makes Britain great

Well, Philip Pullman did dub him a "bollock-faced foghorn of ignorance".
Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.
