Have you noticed that it's only the hard of thinking that fall for the #racism, lies & hatred spewed by #Reform?
Anyone with a smidgen of sense can see through their bollocks instantly.
Hope will always win over hate, & that is why the #GreenParty are storming ahead!

Good.
But how humiliating for Farage.
Hey America,
I know that itβs tough and I am not sure how youβll do it butβ¦at what point do you think βOur President is a pedophile, probably murdered kids, a thief, a racist, stole the election and is now destroying the fucking world - maybe now is the time to do something?β.

As bombs rain down death and destruction, the good news is that Donald Trump still has plenty of time to play golf with his rich mates at Mar-a-Lago.
A Common Toad sits motionless in the grass, staring dead ahead with a grumpy, resigned expression. Its squat, unimpressed face perfectly captures the Monday mood...tired, unbothered, and just surviving.
The official face of Monday.

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.
Maximum capacity is 12 days.
Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeksβ worth of gas.
UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.
The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.
At some point in your life you wake up and realize that actually your country is not one of the 'good guys' in fact it is one of the worst countries in the world and it uses all its power and wealth to abuse weaker countries and poorer people
If you haven't woken up, you should
As the Epstein files stay buried.
Donald Trump is playing golf.
At his own resort.
With his billionaire friends.
This is the man who said heβd lower your cost of living on day one.
As US troops deploy to the Middle East.
As gas prices spike.
As 92,000 jobs vanish in a single month.
As scores of children die in elementary schools.
As acid rain falls over Tehran.
As Switzerland breaks 200 years of neutrality to call it a war crime.
As Iran announces a new Supreme Leader.
A threat to national security, the Clacton Cunt.
Lock it up for life.
Treacherous cunt Tice.
Itβs not very bright and itβs a devoted disciple of the Clacton Cunt.
Another traitor that should be in a cell.
I really hope everyone can share this, because itβs bloody outrageous !!!

Lots of swipes at Trump in this powerful speech. (It would be difficult not to given the circumstances)
Flags you say.
Vote Labour, get Tory policies
Racism comes in many disguises, but it never goes away.

As you know Luke itβs the result of our voting system, people are forced to vote against the party they hate rather than for the party they want to see in power. A fair electoral system would give every party the representation they deserve according to their share of the vote.
You canβt be an imminent threat for 47 fucking years, thatβs ludicrous
Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
Sheβs desperate. While Starmerβs in a vaguely tough moment, he needs to remove her before she does even more damage.
Darth does 'special pleading'. It's bollocks.

The British media in a nutshell
Zack on Laura K
The Green Party has been consistent on our position.
We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.
And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.
It's so straightforward, isn't it?
β
οΈ We're against the Iranian regime because we support human rights.
β
οΈ We're against Trump's Iran war because we support international law.
β³οΈ We support human rights and international law because history has shown us terrible things happen when they're ignored. π»
Doesn't say much for a theology of divine omnipotence, does it?
Because #ZackPolanski & the #Greens are showing us all that there is a positive alternative to the misery of the establishment parties.
A progressive party that is showing it cares & offers us hope.
And #Labour only have themselves to blame. #Starmer could have do SO much more, but chose not to.
More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.
No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.
