Farage is now officially an unpopulist.

Good answer... #RejoinEU #JoinEU #Breturn

Empathy and kindness are so needed in the world we now live in 🫶

Depressing to hear the BBC propagating the non-story started by the Tories about the possibility of power cuts because of renewables A classic fossil fuel lie being given credibility by our public service broadcaster #BBCR4Today

"Don’t look to the past. Look to the future.” A clear message from Bernd Lange, Chair of the European Parliament’s International Trade Committee. After meeting ministers and parliamentarians in London, he says there is a new mood around UK–EU relations.

So many people are still on X in spite of Musk trying to destroy our democracy and supporting Russia against Ukraine It's evidence of a highly damaging and widespread addiction The government could and should take action by shutting down X

Due to the Super El Niño, forecasters are warning of a stormier and wetter winter for the UK. I’ve asked the Minister how she is working across government to ensure preparedness for flooding risks this winter is stepped up to keep our communities safe.

The Polanski effect in action!

Belief that Reform and the Greens are 'main parties' in Britain today has fallen back in recent months, with Labour and the Tories now the only parties seen as such by a majority of Britons Labour: 90% (+8 from 20-21 May) Conservatives: 86% (+8) Reform: 44% (-17) Lib Dems: 34% (-4) Greens: 16% (-8)

Entryists say what now?... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

In which the Green Party condemns its leadership for treating entryists as entryists when in fact they are members Which they obviously are Otherwise they couldn't be entryists It has been 18 days since the Greens last sighted their plot www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Can we bring back the giants? 🦬 Britain once had many more large herbivores, including aurochs, wild horses, wild boar, red deer, roe deer, elk (or moose) and the steppe bison.  Image: Szymon Bartosz/iStock 1/4

In case facts still matter — we have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin Russia was never a hoax

Some early morning reading for the Energy Minister #Jackdaw #Rosebank👇

Deeply irresponsible decision. After a summer of intense heat driven by climate breakdown, this Labour Government has put fossil fuel profits ahead of lower bills. Jackdaw won't cut bills or secure our energy future. It just locks us into a doom loop of fossil fuel dependence.

The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw

A new poll says my Green Party would win zero seats in London at general election, down from 21 in one poll a few months ago. Negative growth is still growth, right?! uk.news.yahoo.com/labour-win-r...

There will be many specific reasons for these declines - chemicals, changing farming practices, climate change, insect populations, disease - but over all its not that complex. We extract too much, we pollute too much, we are too careless and leave too little. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The good European alternative is @eurosky.social which is operated by the Dutch Modal Foundation and has its servers within the EU. They are open, interoperable and building digital infrastructure for all of us. I migrated my account to Eurosky in july and it was and is a good decision.

Everyone had high hopes that W-social would be a good European social media alternative. It's not working out that way. Very disappointing. blog.elenarossini.com/public-by-de...

This is awful. The Green party has real problems. Polanski is one of them.

Insulating Britain’s homes and investing in heat pumps would do more to cut the cost of living, create jobs and boost the UK’s economy than drilling for new oil @e3g.bsky.social

The the Institute of Economic Affairs is an anonymously-funded neoliberal think tank whose alumni appear on the BBC virtually every day of the week without viewers having a clue whose interests they represent, in flagrant violation of the BBC's own editorial guidelines. #PoliticsLive

I think it’s time we ditched Farage and Putin and supported the EU.

Good. And this was before his dreadful car crash interview on BBC this morning.

Imagine the psychic damage that should follow from realising you are just as unpopular as Rupert Lowe. Then realise that The Ego will feel none of that. Good grief. Just pick another leader.

Polanski's happy place is being seen as a Messiah by 5% to 10% of the electorate. There is no way he is changing and no way most voters will ever take the Greens seriously while he is in charge of them.

You may say that, but, actually, under international law, you don't have the right to exist and that is not a controversial opinion, actually, and, actually, anyone who supports Labour smells of poo, so there.

'The government’s £15bn warm homes plan – insulating Britain’s homes and investing in heat pumps – which is currently under threat of cuts, would do more to cut the cost of living, create jobs and boost the UK’s economy than drilling for new oil.' www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“The die is cast. The Greens are heading down a less consensual, nastier, far-left path than the one its old leaders chose. And the party they once knew is disappearing in front of them” @robertshrimsley.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/b76d...

In case anyone is interested, here's my explanation for Polanski's failure to oppose the Zionism is Racism motion passed at Conference.

The reason Polanski failed to vote on the Zionism is Racism motion at Conference is because he has no spine whatsoever and he chose to avoid a difficult situation. Had he opted to do the right thing, he would have tried to exert his influence on members to swing the vote against the...

Jenrick on #r4today trying to downplay the raging racism of Reform… by saying “Farage has done more than anyone else to stand up against racism and the far right”. Farage the schoolboy Nazi. Farage the ‘breaking point’ Brexiter. Farage the mass-deportations champion. Farage the far right racist.

My mobile contract, which is coming up for renewal, will be moved off the O2 network purely because of O2's Musk relationship. Basically, F*** Off O2.

Two days ago I launched my online shop, and already I’ve had sixteen orders! HUGE thank you to everyone who bought something already. 😊 Here are two of my most popular designs so far: The heron & the emperor moth. More coming soon… www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Magp...

And there it is…

Huge respect for Caroline Lucas this week, repeatedly standing up to antisemitic entryism while remaining staunchly critical of Israel and the government's failures on that front. You can see why she used to be leader

People who stand on the shoulders of giants ought to have some humility. Of course, they have none.
