Thats 2 things in the last 48hrs. that wouldn't have happened under tory/reform.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Tactical voting sites are now recommending a vote for Greens. They know that the only way to stop Reform in Gorton and Denton is to vote Green. Let’s do this. stopreformuk.vote/parl/gorton-...

The plan, quite obviously, is to restrict the age to 14 when it's too late for puberty blockers to do anything and then use that as evidence that they are ineffective. Transphobic policy based evidence making.

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. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

KFC, Nando's, Burger King and others ditch chicken welfare pledge. It is about profits. They prefer "franken-chickens" which mature quicker but have higher rates of premature death and muscle disease. What are people eating? Customers not told anything about chicken welfare.

Girlduiding and Women's Institute say the law forces them to exclude trans women. But that's not true. We are offering to indemnify them against legal risk if they change course. If they remain trans exclusive, their members can know it's management's ideological choice.

Let's be clear. If Streeting cared remotely about the wellbeing of trans youth he would have called an immediate public inquiry into the 500% increase of deaths in trans kids after he and others stopped gender affirming care. But instead, he commissioned a bogus report to try and cover it up.

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: Join.greenparty.org.uk

He left us 24 years ago today. Never forgotten, mate. 🙌 x

I would happily pay more council tax if my council replied to imbeciles in this way.

My heart rushes to every parent of a trans child this evening. I know you are desperate to keep your child healthy, alive in the face of Labour's onslaught. Anne Health does good work. But, if your child is vulnerable and you can it is worth considering leaving. Things here are getting worse fast.

The Representation of the People Bill doesn't cap political donations. Super-rich can buy/bribe political parties to protect their interests. The poor can't. The bottom 50% of the population owns less than 5% of wealth and the bottom 20% has only 0.5%. 24m live below minimum living standards.

“Reform’s candidate, an oddball far-right former academic turned GB News presenter, is facing allegations of sexual harassment, while their “interim” campaign manager.. has been exposed as a holocaust-denying anti-semite” Please god, G&D, don’t inflict this on us. open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

Donor suspended from Tories pays £50,000 for dinner with Kemi Badenoch. That is 2+ years of minimum wage. Monies at this scale are paid to buy influence and favours. Criminalizing purchase/sale of political parties and legislators is a necessary step for ending political corruption.

Newspaper which spent years telling Meghan to shut up says what, now?

Solar and wind energy is far too cheap, that is a problem. If we built it in 20 years energy would be free, and one of the most profitable industries on the planet would be dead. $4tn a year in profit GONE, forever. They won't allow that, so they push their nuclear nonsense.

My dad passed away this morning. I got the call at a self-checkout in Ikea at 11:35. I’ll be flying to South Africa shortly to be with family, so I may be out of touch for a few days.  Thank you to everyone in this community for your incredible support. Hug your people. Much love, Bear

Private Eye acknowledges the genius of our political commentariat.

A brilliant day on the doorsteps of Gorton & Denton, ending with a very special iftar with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social & the amazing canvassing teams @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk 💚🌻💚

Trump got a kicking form the US Supreme Court over his illegal trade tariffs. Unlike any previous President he attacks the judges. This narcissist manchild likes to be seen to be macho. The odds are that will now start a war, bomb a country, threaten to annex foreign territory.

Given Badenoch's boast that she stuffed key positions in the NHS with TERFs I want to know who signed the letter from the MHRA. Why the (still further) cover up by Wes Streeting?

'The MHRA's rigorous trial of the efficacy of condoms - placed on the member post-coitus - concluded that their benefits were overstated. The Secretary of State for Health, Wesley Streeting, heralded the trial as exactly the sort of evidence-led medicine for which he had always advocated.'

No, I don't want to go on national radio to discuss the cessation of the PB trial. The politicisation of healthcare for trans people - Kemi Badenoch boasting of putting terfs into key positions in the NHS, and Labour serving at the altar of power - is the root of the problem.

Don't go to the USA.

Lowkey reveals that Reform UK is funded by billionaire tax dodgers who also run the Media and spread lies about immigration. Who should you believe, and vote for? These awful people or the people who stand against them?

Say no to Nigel Farage.

Newsom, "The tariffs were illegal from day one" "President Trump owes families their money back" "$1,751 per household"

The prosecution said Taylor had told his wife he would hunt her like prey and kill her, and that he would "put you in the boot and set fire to the car".

Reform is not your friend.

BBC Breakfast: Ever been discriminated against? Jenrick: Not especially. BBC: Many have relied on the 2010 Equality Act for protection. Jenrick: I don’t think that’s right. Reform would scrap it for a so-called “Working Class Act”: lower wages, no benefits, private health insurance. #UKPolitics

If your priority is stopping Reform you need to know who to vote for to do it. This site has the answer. 👇🏻

Matt Goodwin accused of sexual harrassment at GB News, GB News brushes it under the carpet. Nigel Farage says "That's just Matt being Matt." Who the hell would vote for that, imagine what they would be up to if they were in power?

Two months ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. Now we are getting 15% tariffs on everything. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

"#AbolishTheMonarchy" "But what about the House of Lords, Lords, Peerages, Knights of the Realm and 40% of the UK owned by the same people for the last 500 years!" "Abolish all that too!"

Far Right thugs beat someone up, then the Police arrest the VICTIM. What the hell?

I forgot was it prison or deportation that Elon Musk wanted as punishment for voter fraud?

The retirement age will soon be 68 in the UK. The average healthy lifespan of a man in the UK is 60.7 years. This means they will be expecting at least 50% of men who cannot stand for 10 minutes at a time to work for another 7.3 years. Does that seem like it will work?

I don't want the richest people to be richer, I want life to be better for everyone. If we have to make the richest people poor to do that. That's fine with me.

Elon Musk is complaining he doesn't have enough energy to run AI Solar is the cheapest energy on the planet. Onshore Wind the 2nd cheapest Offshore Wind is twice as expensive as Onshore Wind, but it is still the 3rd cheapest. Nuclear is the most expensive, and slowest to build.

Streeting: 'We're running a rigorous trial of the mental health benefits of abortifacients for women who don't want a child and are nine and a half months post conception.'

In 10 years China is going to be in the 2050's with unlimited Energy and tech far beyond anything in Europe/N.America. And the only reason is because our leaders are too greedy and too stupid.

Is someone keeping a list of all the people who are telling on themselves right now?

Reminder: Last time, people who didn’t bother voting helped put this disgustingly racist individual into Parliament.

Qesser is free on bail, alongside 23 of the Filton 24 ❤️ We keep fighting until Palestine is free - from the river to the sea! 🇵🇸

Well put: "There are certain situations where AI can do superhuman things, but so can forklifts. We’ve built tools that can do things humans can’t for a long time. It doesn’t mean they’re god-like...better to think of as a spreadsheet that’s really capable" (£) www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

In 2021, in an interview with Prof Grace Lavery, I said of the Keira Bell decision (before it was legally overturned, as I correctly predicted it would be), that overturning its cultural consequences would be a generation's work. I said I desperately hoped I was wrong. I wasn't.

They just said it's a waste of money to remove the nonce from being 8th in line to the throne. What on earth are the costs other than a biro to cross his name out on a list?

At least the grey weather doesn’t bother them. Or maybe it does, but they refuse to comment.

Just so you know in 2001 Portugal had one of the highest death rates from overdoses and one of the fastest growing epidemics of HIV in Europe. It decriminalised drugs and now has the among the lowest of both in Europe and has done for over a decade.

Brilliant

Orwell would not have believed how stupid people are.

And for anyone wondering about the Otters - here they are in their full wise/constipated glory.

One of the jurors on Elon Musk's court case was dismissed for saying. "I believe it would be to the benefit of the Human Race for Musk to be sent to prison." Press Like if you agree wholeheartedly with this courageous juror. I can't believe he was dismissed.

A decade after David Cameron announced that the country would be going to the polls in the EU membership referendum, Stephen Gethins MP has secured a Westminster Hall debate next week to discuss the consequences of that fateful decision. This debate really matters. Write to your MP #EMUK

The Daily Mail have made a desperate attack on Green Candidate Hannah Spencer. Among the evil things she did, going to the US 12 years ago, and going to Spain 10 years ago. I think those revelations will... Make people laugh at the ridiculous Daily Mail.

Labour will raise £8 billion by freezing income tax rates, and their measure to 'tax the rich more' will raise just £0.5 billion

The Railways Bill leaves a huge backdoor for privatisation. 📢The government promised public ownership. 🚆They must deliver real public ownership. Time for MPs to join Richard Quigley in demanding a railway that delivers for us, not private shareholders: weownit.org.uk/act-now/pass...

The Damned do amazing covers, their version of Alone again or is masterful, with an amazing video #totp youtu.be/nYVDN27CrOo?...

Yep

The Right are outraged in the USA that an 11 year old boy shot and killed his father with a gun. It wouldn't have happened if he didn't have a gun. You are 4x more likely to die by a gun, if you have one in your house. They don't keep you safe, they get you killed.

Happy #Caturday lovely phone family. How's everyone doing? Just a little update. My tumour was removed, but my genetic test marker result was very high, so I'm starting chemo next month.

We’re talking rape, abuse and trafficking & yet we’re fucking tiptoeing around about whether we could and should potentially have legislation to remove his line of succession Get to fuck , get the cunt in jail and start the process of proper justice for all those poor girls and women

Many people don't understand but the billionaires tax you every day by overcharging you and underpaying you You controlling the Government via democracy and taxing and controlling the billionaires is the way of balancing this In the last 50 years that balance has been destroyed

Why people are angry – and why the far-right can't fix it youtu.be/q5hAIr1cgZI?...

This might only make sense in the UK and you are of a certain age

Not sure what the prompt is but very Epsteiny

Pecksniff watches the far right do what factions do best: fracture. * Restore beckons, Reform wobbles, egos collide. * Unity, it seems, was always conditional. Meanwhile in Labour land, regicide, like competence, remains elusive...

The great thing about the Single Market, Customs Union and Freedom of Movement is that they work together to free countries from having to be "jacks of all trades". They allow EU regions to specialise in specific sectors, attracting skilled workers from across the continent to create European hubs.

Why would anyone vote for a Reform MP? ... Once they're in, they ignore their constituencies like the plague and just use their MP status to grift more dosh from the state. #RefUKkers

98% of billionaires were born millionaires/billionaires. The system is broken, it is time they were all bankrupted and then they will experience not being rich for the first time in their lives.

So before April 23rd 1969 when Get Back went straight in at number one?

And still they come 🤣

Goodness gracious - in the 'Torygraph'!! Why rejoining EU is the only logical way forward for Starmer With the argument for closer alignment in tatters, backing a full reversal of Brexit could offer Prime Minister a political lifeline www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Watched Solaris this afternoon while working, was just telling Mrs Toast about it and she said we've seen it. So I've reached no memory of a film even while watching it levels of mental decline. On the plus side, at least I can enjoy star wars for the first time again soon.

Worldwide in the last 50 years average wealth has increased 12% above inflation. The wealth of the richest 0.1%, 4,000% The wealth of the richest 0.00006%, the billionaires, 35,000%

It is driving Right Wingers nuts that Andrew could have his Falklands campaign medal revoked. But the UK has always taken back medals from people who have brought the system into disrepute.

We are in purdah for the g&d bi-election which means we can’t report stuff like this in broadcast media in the same way the papers can. Shame as local community should be aware of who this candidate is.
