I would advise ANYONE who is in an abusive relationship to leave it.

I guess you would too.

So dear Mr Starmer - leave Trump to huff and puff on his own. You don't need him and nor do we. Not really, despite what genocidal maniacs say.

Ref back-tracking on going to war. Public opinion certainly didn't back them up.

People may be foolish enough to vote Ref but they are not so foolish to want to go and fight on the frontline for their esteemed leader.

Some people have no idea.
Wait until Darren sees Labour’s environmental policies that will lay waste to land and species. And let’s not mention their very not left-leaning policies that attack the poor, marginalised & vulnerable.

But as a transphobe & bullshitter; Darren they are a perfect fit

Great Britain has only two days of gas stored, while Iran war threatens to disrupt supplies National Gas insists storage broadly in line with levels for time of year despite disruption for tankers carrying LNG

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.

Maximum capacity is 12 days.

Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.

UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.

There's a typo in this article. Should read.

And no matter the headwinds, shafting working people and their families .....

He is so right!

This WAR on drugs will never work.

Having worked in this area, my primary concern and the concern of every organisation that seriously wants to help is β€œlet’s keep these kids alive until they are able to address their addiction”…

They are not aliens!!

The words 'we're marching through the world' should send warning arrows right across the globe.

No country is safe from this madness.

My critics want silence – but advocating for peace is what democracy demands A week ago, I attended the apolitical Stop The War Coalition protest in Parliament Square alongside hundreds of fellow protesters. Since then,…

Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.

Disgusted there are a minority who think it's ok to behave in such a despicable way. They shout about their human rights whilst ignoring everyone else's right to go about their daily lives without being harassed.

I really hope conversations like this would help inform the Green GE manifesto/government policy. Feargals idea on how to nationalise water companies overnight would be immensely popular and doable on day 1

Ugh so much "not all men" stuff going on today. It's when men don't call out friends for comments, or turn a blind eye to what mates are doing. It's in jokes and actions. It's in deflection by saying "not all men". If things are to change everyone needs to accept what's wrong #internationalwomensday

Improvements - Better wheelchair access, not just around the town centre all around the areas.

Love - the diversity, especially food shops that sell more cultural products - polish, Indian etc which are much tastier than those stocked in supermarkets.

If we are to prevent another devastating pandemic, the government must act. Implement the recommendations of the Covid Inquiry, invest much more into our NHS and pandemic preparedness, and ensure corruption and private profit do not stand in the way of public health.

I like that idea. Do I start with once upon a time or maybe 'when I was young'.

No maybe not the second one, I can't remember that far back. πŸ˜€

We could maybe jointly write a book on cynicism πŸ˜†

Green Party leader Zack Polanski headlining the biggest UK educators union.

This is the kind of onboarding that is going to attract a very broad approval.

Hope there will be some videos covering the keynotes.

Couldn't agree with you more. They get elected and spout the usual crap about being honoured and commit to serving the constituency that has voted for them and that's where it ends.

I know one thing, they all come out a darn sight richer than when they went in.

I'm taking a chance on Green Party.

There are alternatives.

Both working men and suffragettes protested and some died for everyone's right to vote. I won't dishonour them by not voting (politicians see that as the public being apathetic).

If you're angry and don't believe anyone on your ballot paper is worth your vote - spoil it.

After 14 years of Tory austerity, and then broken promises from Labour, 52,000 people in our district are claiming Universal Credit. Many of them are just working people struggling to keep up with skyrocketing costs.

Did you also know that β…“ of children in our district live in financial hardship?

That is why providing a helping hand for local people is part of the Green Party plan to deliver Real Change for Ordinary people.
