The more I look at it, I'm just glad Max Dowman escaped a serious injury.

Arsenal had 59 touches in the opposition box tonight. They had 566 successful passes to Fleetwood's 99 and 26 shots to the opposition's three. xG of 2.21 for Arsenal versus 0.26 for Fleetwood, but missed several big chances.

You can understand Max reacting. The referee saw more in it than anyone else, and it's never a red. I think Mikel Arteta's reaction was really poor. He's 16, your job – in every aspect – is to protect him. Lessons can be learned behind the scenes, not in front of the cameras.

I dunno.

A three game ban for what Dowman did is a joke. There is a fundamental problem in the English game with not punishing actual violent challenges and over-punishing petulant reactions to violent challenges.

I didn’t like Arteta having a go at Max. Can understand being frustrated and that needing to be a learning moment for him, but think he might feel differently having slept on it and watched the replays.

Jeffrey Epstein in an email to Peter Thiel wrote ‘Brexit, just the beginning’

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

On the day he is a main candidate in a very important by-election, Facebook has *suspended* Zack Polanski’s account. This ON ITS OWN should be reason to vote Green in Holborn & St Pancras. This is foreign interference in British democracy. And guess what, the media (and Labour) is silent.

I'm unemployed so I don't have a lot of money to spend on booze, what with interest rates and utility bills always going up. Plus I'm seven years sober. How about the government actually rising to the challenges we face rather than shrugging?

It is time to cut tax breaks for big tech and use it to fund warmer homes. Here's our policy to lower energy bills, explained in 30 seconds.

This won’t be reported widely, but Jason Arday has been cleared of plagiarism for a second time. Still nobody has been held accountable for this man’s death.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The looting of the country by Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, the Trump sons, and their orbit of aides and friends is directly tied to *your* inability to afford housing, health care, child care, and more. It's their illegal wealth versus our ability to live.

They are openly trying to fix voting in the USA.

“We need to make the transition as fast as possible, not least because genuinely, the future of our kids depends on this.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy following Labour's approval of Jackdaw on #BBCQT.

London Journalists have voted to take the press treatment of Professor Arday to their union’s national conference. The branch’s motion, states that his treatment ‘by the British establishment’ was the result of ‘structural, institutional & systemic racism’ www.brixtonbuzz.com/2026/10/nuj-...

26 jobs created helping destroy the planet! I suppose that will help make up for a fraction of a percent of the tens of thousands of life saving jobs, this government made redundant in the NHS.

Sally Nugent: "We know though, don't we, that Jackdaw actually only reduces the need for gas imports by 2% over 10 years. That does not seem like very much" Energy secretary: "Look, it isn't"

A young US man interrupts JD Vance's propaganda rally and calls for the release of the Epstein files; MAGA the pro-Epstein Trump cult chanted USA as the brave man was dragged out by police for questioning the Trump-Epstein class.

Lower bills. Invest in renewables. No to new oil and gas. Peace & Justice around the world. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

I mean it’s not a vetting problem, is it? It’s that it’s a racist party, run by racists, with racist policies, for the benefit of racists. The fact that it turns out to be full of racists is not a glitch

The left can't advocate any sort of meaningful change without enraging the media. It is utterly unavoidable. We can win unprecedented levels of support by taking on hard fights and having the courage of our convictions. The Green party is more successful than ever because we've understood this.

it’s just great marketing

In any sane country Jenrick would be out of a job after these grotesque remarks, but AFAICS almost no-one thinks they’re even worthy of comment

At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

Wes Streeting accuses Russia of aggression and imperialism. Now do the United States. Illegally kidnapping the head of state of Venezuela. Launching an illegal war on Iran. Escalating an illegal blockade of Cuba. And what are we doing? Helping them!

In the footage, they can be heard shouting: "We're gonna smash every black c**t.” “More of the bl*ck b*s***ds there!” “P*kis an' all” “Fuck off, nobody wants you here, you're not welcome anymore. There's too many of you here and we've had enough…"

Shitbag Trump confirms he attacked the ICC because he wasn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and because a WOMAN won it. The 34 time convicted felon then attacks Judge Navi Pillay, who has dedicated decades to justice and human rights, before launching into a long, stupid rant.

So the press is going for guilt by association, smear bullshit again and the left are shitting themselves again too. Have I woken up in 2018?

Rapid-fire questions on Channel 4 about the Green Party’s passing of the “Zionism is Racism” motion.

Today, Greece puts me on trial. For almost nine years, Aegean Boat Report has documented pushbacks and human-rights violations at Europe’s borders. Today, the witness becomes the accused. Whatever happens, our work continues. Support my legal defence in Greece: whydonate.com/fundraising/...

Israel requires the ethnic clensing of Palestinians and is carrying it out. The motion calls for a state where everyone has equal rights. One of those is racist but it's not the one you're claiming.
