“Are you firmly in favour of rejoining the European Union?" - Robert Peston

“Firmly very much in favour. Brexit has been a disaster under any criteria, under any measure" - Zack Polanski

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

This descriptive quote from @acitrano.bsky.social says it all.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face."

So easy to spot many pro Palestinian terrorists, no balaclavas, no St George’s flags wrapped around them, not attacking the Police, not throwing petrol bombs..

It’s the grey hair. Walking sticks, white sticks, mobility scooters that give them away.. the thugs

BREAKING: The Green Party now has more members than the Lib Dems There are now more than 83,500 Green Party members.

Greens officially overtake Lib Dem’s in membership!

Can’t say I’m surprised, @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social both brought me to tears at multiple points. Crazy how hard *actual* empathy hits when it’s been totally absent in politics.

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.

This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I’d like to see display boards around our towns & cities , displaying the air quality . Pollution is an unseen & silent killer .
Khan was correct to pursue this policy , benefitting all Londoners .
What sort of person doesn’t want to breath better quality air ? Morons .

No new £2,000 fine for unmarried couples who don’t declare their status – Full Fact Videos circulating on social media claim you need to tell the government if you’ve been living with your partner for more than a year, or you’ll face a £2,000 fine. But this isn’t true.

We’ve spotted several videos circulating online that claim if you’ve been living with your partner for more than 12 months you need to register your relationship with the government, or you’ll face a £2,000 fine.

But HMRC has said this isn’t true.

They have control of almost everything.

Almost all your money goes to them, nearly 70% of people are employed by them.

They don't pay tax, they don't maintain the essential industries that they control, they get 12% richer every year.

You cannot just ignore them.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?"

Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership"

"Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

ID cards - not a problem

Digital ID cards - lots more questions but maybe acceptable

Digital ID cards to stop illegal working - totally unnecessary

House Democrats release partial Epstein records referencing Musk, Gates and Prince Andrew The pages from Epstein’s schedule show he was in touch with prominent figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel. There is no evidence those people knew about how Epstein was sex...

Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee say six pages of records from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show that the late financier was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. https://to.pbs.org/3IsJYy1

Where “putting in measures to stop” Farage’s showboating media dominance amounts to the media just doing their job - ie refusing to amplify the torrent of hate-fuelled bollox that pours out of him, exposing his populist splutterings for the nonsense they invariably are and focusing on other parties.

Via The Independent: Donald Trump’s false claim that London ‘wants to go to Sharia law’ has been described as ‘appalling and bigoted’ by Mayor Sadiq Khan.

The Muslim Council of Britain responded: “We pray for Mr Trump's health and wellbeing as his hallucinations seem to be getting worse by the day”

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist."

RT if Mick is right.

Without inherited wealth or the family name, these fellas would be stood at the side of the road shouting nonsense at passing traffic.

Mary Robinson always was one of the good ‘uns. These are not times for niceties and diplomacy - they are times for telling it straight, no sugar!!

I wonder what it is about popular, working class, successful, intelligent, handsome, London born, well educated, happily married, child of hard working immigrant parents, human rights advocate, thrice elected London Mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan that Trump doesn't like?

European here

No we haven’t banned air conditioning

Or chosen to stop using it because it costs too much

many homes in Europe are over 100yrs old, & some are many 100’s of years old

air con is tricky to have installed so most of us don’t have it

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.

Some of us do.

Look at this picture.

It's these people.
