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.
Reminder. THIS is what we believe as Greens
(H/t @shinyshep.bsky.social for the nudge)
Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed.
Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points.
@greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them!
The majority of the UK is with me, no more illegal wars!

The greens are finally coming under serious scrutiny+ and they're rattled
Telegraph acknowledges Green Party has won a "seismic byelection."
And then there have been two polls this week showing us way in front of Labour and closing in on Reform?
Rattled? We're growing rapidly!

@martinabrams.bsky.social has outlined the choice Lambeth residents have in May - a choice between austerity with Labour or real change and real hope with the Greens.
Cllr Paul Valentine has praised the work of Lambeth's tackling poverty teams and asked Labour to support our amendment that invests in those services that make a difference to people's lives.
Cllr Nicole Griffiths has highlighted the disastrous human cost of Labour's cuts, and Labour's disgraceful refusal to take any responsibility for them despite being in power locally and nationally.
Tonight, Lambeth is holding its Budget Council, where Labour are proposing £100m in cuts to the services residents need.
We will be putting forward an amendment that protects the most vulnerable from the worst impacts of these cuts.

Imagine if something happened in London
The problem wasn't really the negative campaign.
The problem is that it was a smear campaign based on lies.
And still Labour aren't offering any solutions to the highest drug deaths in Europe.
Let's have *that* conversation.

Say “We think of you as a vassal state” without saying “We think of you as a vassal state”…

It's fascinating to watch cooler Labour heads like Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham say that comparing the Greens and Reform together is a terrible tactic.
Yet Labour ministers are hourly on shows keeping up the same narrative.
The Green Party and Reform are completely the opposite!
Reform 23% (-1) Greens 21% (+4) Labour 16% (-2) Tories 16% (-2) Lib Dems 14% (=)
YouGov latest poll. A reminder that over the past year Reform's polling is usually overestimating the final vote in by-elections whereas the Green's polling underestimates it. With everything being so fucking awful you don't need to doomerise about this...enjoy the bar chart, even for a moment.
Mothin stan here. The more you find out about him, the more there is to really like.
Every slur from Labour or the rw media just lowers their reputation even further.
Rachel, Zack and Mothin
There's nothing the establishment is more scared of them a calm, kind, thoughtful gardener who happens to be a Muslim man in politics.
We'll stand together. Solidarity Mothin.
Keir Starmer when you were running for Labour leader you promised to introduce this legislation to stop the UK being dragged into illegal wars - it's time to show you were serious about that.
It was shocking to hear the vitriol from the US against Mr Davidson on News Agents yesterday.
Really hope that Black sufferers of Tourette's in the USA can be heard and bring some sense to the debate.
My Grandfather had Tourette’s. I know that he experienced prejudice and attempts to bully him. I’ve been pretty stunned that in the reaction to the Davidson episode, we’ve seen a lot of the ignorance that he, a man living his life in the mid 20th century, would have recognised only too well.
Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.
This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.
And we're making hope normal again - together.

The government's immigration proposals are an obscenity: They needlessly punish refugees, make integration basically impossible, and introduce a sliding system of administrative abuse depending on how wealthy you are iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...
The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern.
Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.
Plumber, Plasterer, Parliamentarian! 💚
Hope won 💚
