Warmonger Tony Blair needs to get back in his box. No modern politician should repeat his horrendous mistakes regarding illegal wars.

This Labour government are pure evil. As bad as Tories.

Anyone still voting Labour is voting to harm sick and disabled people. Shame on Labour voters, scum.

Trump is the biggest threat to the world. So why is Starmer still kissing his hand? Whatever the answer he keeps proving he is unfit to Govern and cares more about Israel than he does the UK. So much so he is involving the UK in criminal war crimes to further Israeli and US interests.

Adolf Hitler attacked Czechoslavakia without declaring war

Hitler invaded Poland and France and the USSR without warning.
Donald Trump invaded Venezuela without warning, he attacked Iran without warning.

Another own goal and nail in Labour's coffin if this travesty gets voted through

Not only does the latest polling put the Greens ahead of Labour for the first time in history, it also shows that of those who voted Labour in 2024, only 37% intend to do so now: an astonishing collapse. To appease the billionaire press, Starmer’s government has burnt its house down.

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA 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 β€œwe 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 β€œmaybe 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.

Reform voters will not vote Labour. Most current Reform voters are ex-tories.
Labour's voters are largely going to the Greens. Using Enoch Powell type rhetoric, and introducing Reform style laws will not bring them back.
Mahmood has zero political nouse. She will learn this the hard way.

Mahmood introduced Labour's far right immigration policy today.

Mahmood = Priti Patel = Suella Braverman
Ergo
Labour = Tories = Reform

Labour and Mahmood's policy to pay immigrants to leave the Country is a recycled fascist BNP policy. Yes, that is how bad Labour has got.

Reform don't represent you - they represent Farage and the 1%
The Tories don't represent you - they represent the 1%
Labour don't represent you - they represent Israel and the 1%

The Greens represent you

Mahmood belongs in Reform. She's helped Labour drop to 15%.

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

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further Β£3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his Β£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.

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.

Shebana Mahmood is as progressive as Oswald Mosely; and as left wing as Enoch Powell.

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.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
