Long time since I read George Orwell's '1984'.

Lately with Israel's genocide in Gaza & its & USA's attack on Iran being framed as 'defence' & the just - Trump - I keep thinking of its nonsense totalitarian propaganda slogans:

"War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength."

This polling is nuts!!

It can only happen by having lots of persuasive conversations between now and May 7th

Get involved with your local Green Party and enjoy the incredible surge of enthusiasm

It's all of us 💚

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

There doesn't exist a violin tiny enough for the amount of sympathy I have for these super-rich leeches, desperately jet-setting around to avoid contributing taxes to the UK - its less than none and into the realms of shadenfreude.
🤣

My heart bleeds…

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “A country that always defends human rights and international law, like Spain, earns the respect of the entire world, as has happened in recent weeks.”

PREACH! Its all part of the grift.

Those saying ‘has Farage even considered war with Iran will result in more asylum seekers arriving by small boat?’. Of course he has. He doesn’t really want to stop the boats. He needs them for his grievance politics and to persuade the population to support policies which will harm them.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

Tell starmer we took him up on his offer and we left, now we are coming for his job!

I predict a Green wave in the local elections. Anyone who thinks our byelection win was an outlier is mistaken | Zack Polanski Since the Gorton and Denton victory, I have travelled the UK and seen the energy that result unleashed. More will follow, says Zack Polanski, leader of the Green party

"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – 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."

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

Green Party of England and Wales is the largest Green Party in Europe.

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?"
"You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

Why Keir Starmer Has No Power | Zack Polanski YouTube video by Bold Politics with Zack Polanski

If you have no idea what I mean by 'what we now know about Labour Together' you might want to listen to this interview with Paul Holden, author of "The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney and the Crisis of British Democracy"

Hope he includes the party's policy on clean air to prevent airborne infections in schools, impacting teachers & children. Not just something we've learned from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, (including brain fog & Long Covid) but important for measles, RSV, Flu and more...

Hi Sian! Our fab campaign group @greensagainstcovid.bsky.social are calling for #CleanAir in schools, alongside groups like @cleanair4kids.bsky.social & @cvcev.bsky.social. This is crucial to enable full inclusion of disabled & clinically vulnerable kids, & to protect all our kids from #LongCovid

Image shows Sian Berry stood to the left of campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, and surrounded by a group of clean air campaigners. All of them are smiling and holding a copy of Ella's Law - the Clean Air (Human Rights Bill).

Image shows Rosamund Adoo-Kiss-Debrah sat next to Sian with a copy of Ella's Law on the table in front of them. They are both reading the Bill that is named in memory of Rosamund's daughter Ella who died aged nine due to exposure to air pollution.

Ella’s Law has been published 👏

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

Ah well thats convinced me, you've changed my mind about everything I said. Just so I can correct everyone else, would you kindly let me know which of Starmer's pledges he hasn't abandonned?

Polanski has never said he hates Starmer. He's said that he's complicit in genocide & that he can't be trusted, eg after reneging on every single pledge he signed to get the leadership.

They were likely complete manipulative lies in the first place, with what is now known about 'Labour Together'.

Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Stunning victory in Stroud last night.

Look at that majority! 💚😍

When I got long covid four years ago, the waiting room at the local long covid clinic was mostly women, mostly older.

About two years ago I noticed that most of the other patients are now kids. It's staggering to see how many kids are winding up with #LongCovid. #WearAMask #CovidIsntOver

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t 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 “we 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.” She said “maybe 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 …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
