This is ridiculous. UK democracy isn't just up for sale; you can buy a Nazi-adjacent 'corrupterment' for half the price of a super yacht.

In case you missed it ...
🌻 The Greens want to rejoin the EU. Their only question is "What would be the best first step?" Very sensibly, they want to speak to the EU about that, to find the best and quickest solution for both sides. This open letter is from June last year.

Cruelty to immigrants is not what my party stands for. It’s time for True Labour, not Blue Labour | Stella Creasy We must get back to the party’s roots before it is too late. That means embracing difference, rejecting division – and fighting for opportunities for all, says MP for Walthamstow, Stella Creasy

"There is an alternative way forward: being True – not Blue – Labour. True Labour doesn’t fear those who are different. Instead, it demands everyone contribute their abilities to society – and works to unlock such skills."

@stellacreasy.bsky.social: "The performative cruelty of repeatedly demanding that refugees prove they are still refugees – or else face deportation – cannot be understated. It is also a waste of money given that so few refugees, when retested, will change status."

Migrant charities and refugees slam Labour for throwing ‘human rights under the bus’ with temporary refugee status Refugee groups have said the policy is "divisive and scapegoating" and will trap people fleeing war in "a state of insecurity and fear"

"People are fleeing from war and conflict, persecution and ill-treatment, these are not things that can change in 30 months."

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.

Those proud bastions of free speech Reform UK banned @willhaycardiff.bsky.social from their manifesto launch because they are scared of the scrutiny he would provide. Imagine what these cowards will do in power.

The rise in Green Party membership has been truly astonishing

I’ve written to @bafta.org seeking clarity following this year’s ceremony.

This is not about blaming anyone with Tourette’s.

It’s about understanding how a racist slur was broadcast to the nation despite a 2 hour delay, while other remarks were edited out.

Transparency matters.

Stunning victory in Stroud last night.

Look at that majority! 💚😍

Done. Crazy that labour got elected with a massive majority and are still not bringing water into public ownership Happy to let us get poisoned for shareholders profits. Despicable! Keep up the good work @labourlewis.bsky.social

Privatisation broke our water system.

@labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it.

Water Belongs to All of Us - Back the People's Plan for Water! Privatisation has broken our water system. Evidence shows public ownership can bring fairer, cleaner and cheaper water. That’s why I'm backing the People’s Plan for Water. Join me:

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry As the drama shows, private firms no longer able to pollute the coast of England of Wales just switched to rivers instead

I’ve warned for some time that Labour can’t keep taking its base for granted, and Gorton and Denton makes that plain. People say they don't recognise the party they once trusted. We’ve moved away from communities that built us. If we don’t change, others will step into the space we have left open.

Guardian headline: Starmer faces greater quandary over 'special relationship' after Iran attack

1/5 If UK assets are being used strictly for defensive purposes to protect lives and prevent missile attacks, that is one thing.

But allowing British bases to be used for what looks increasingly like a war of aggression led by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu is another matter entirely.

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

An aerial satellite view of a city serves as the background for an announcement graphic. In the center, a cream-colored rectangular box with rounded corners displays text in two different styles. At the top, the words "START POINT ANNOUNCED" are written in bold, black, sans-serif capital letters. Below this, hand-written style text in orange-red reads: Park Lane, Central London 28th March @ 12pm At the bottom of the cream box is a black and white logo that reads "TOGETHER" in a stylized, bold font, with the words "AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT" in smaller block letters underneath. The background map shows a dense urban area with historical buildings and a large green park featuring a body of water on the left side.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.

We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.

The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Outrageous that Trump is trying to bully Britain into handing over more NHS cash to big US pharma.

Keir Starmer should put the NHS and the interests of British patients above his attempts to cosy up to Trump. Scrap this bad deal now!

It's so healing to hear someone say this with confidence & out loud (rather than feel the need to pander to the far-right's xenophobia).

Capitalism is the worst possible system because it always leads to Fascism.

You make money by exploiting workers, stealing resources and extorting customers, then you are given more power.

Until as we are finding out, the worst possible people have absolute power.
