Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.

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.
Missed this while I was off. A Kent county councillor (elected for Reform) has been sentenced to 12 months in prison after admitting controlling & coercive behaviour.
There's a by-election next month in his seat, and it looks like another Green/Reform/Labour fight...

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.
New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:
🟢 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000
Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.
When the Prime Minister spreads lies about people - there are consequences.
He's made some outrageous smears. It's debasing our politics.
Anything to try to quieten dissent about the US and Israel starting an illegal war.

The Home Secretary’s own MPs see through this. She is desperate and dangerous.

The media must stop normalizing the far right
Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.
THIS IS THE ROAD THAT ENDS IN FASCISM. Far-right views are NOT normal or the majority: stop treating them as such.

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

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.
Zack on Laura K
The Green Party has been consistent on our position.
We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.
And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.
Lmao can't make this shit up

Our drug policy makes sense, @greendrugpolicy.bsky.social. The war on drugs has failed we need take a public health approach to help people, that means legalise and regulate and follow advice from proper health professionals.

Just when you thought Labour couldn’t get deeper down in the gutter, when Mothin Ali was subject to a false and blatantly Islamophobic attack by a Tory MP, Starmer went along with it
When Reform fail at the polls they go full-Trump and dispute the result.
Notice how they never have a problem with an election if they win? - funny that.

There's nothing the establishment is more scared of them a calm, kind, thoughtful gardener who happens to be a Muslim man in politics.

Warning UK at risk of being pulled into illegal war
Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump?
Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars.
The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?
