Since Greens, LDs, Lab & Con are not Fielding a candidate, maybe their members should together campaign vigorously for Binface to ensure Farage's silly game backfires completely.

What do you think? Is it time to quit? It really is getting harder and harder to separate the wheat from the chaff. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
No, the Green Party does not exist to replace Labour or anyone else. It exists to work with people to ensure there is Climate, Environmental, Social & Economic justice in the UK and elsewhere. That may mean being the Govt outright or it may mean working with other parties.
The news is full of the high bond yields due to " government borrowing." No one mentions the role of the MPC in the QT programme. It's a choice to reverse QE, the BoE is choosing to dump an extra £70bn of gilts on the market each year. This adds more than 50% to gilt sales.

The Gravel Path Grand Prix in full flow on Gravel Path at 5.30 pm last night. Some truly terrifying speeds on the newly resurfaced road. ACTION REQUIRED - @DacorumPolice @BerkhamstedTC @HertsPCC @TweetingCollins @hcchighways

Outrageous
• MPs’ Menu in Parliament: “thyme roasted portobello mushroom
on potato, root vegetable and horseradish rösti and spiced avocado” — Cost: £3.80 (subsidised by you)
• NHS Staff Menu in Hospital: “Macaroni Cheese” — Cost: £5.50 paid by NHS nurses).

A huge betrayal.
Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks.
And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

If we want secure jobs, a safe climate for the future & true energy independence the only route is renewables. We know it works, it lower bills and makes us safe from energy shocks.
We just need politicians brave enough to stand up to oil & gas lobby & their mates in Reform.
Frankly, when you consider the life and death realities, gambling on the outcomes of wars is sick in any event. Although all the more so if the bets are rigged and situation updates by political leaders are geared to profiteering on those bets.

Paddy Ashdown got it in a way I don’t think any politician outside of the Green Party currently gets it. share.google/RIcbDko3zA5Kg20…

This is a picture of Tehran now. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, girls in schools, pets, regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.

Keir Starmer is claiming he has a dirty to protect British people in Dubai. But, apparently, he does not think he has a duty to people on hospital trolleys, or the homeless, or young people education has failed. Why is that?
You can't on the one hand complain about refugees not assimilating into the UK culture while on the other hand doing everything possible to make them feel unwelcome and telling them to f**k off as soon as possible!

Contrary to the lies peddled by @reformparty_uk & @Conservatives migrants make a positive contribution to the economy. IFS is predicting sharp worsening in the Government's fiscal position over the next few years as net migration is set to fall below previous assumptions
Reform peddling lies again. It cannot be overstated: Sharia Councils (to use their correct term) have NO legal status to overrule the English civil or criminal law of the land. They offer non-binding, faith-based guidance, regarding Islamic marriage, divorce, & personal disputes.
1. Yes she’s a hypocrite for slamming multiculturalism after having benefited from it.
2. Yes she’s an anti Muslim bigot for calling out sharia courts but not the Beth Din Jewish courts, and her husband is Jewish btw. So why the double standard?
3. And hilarious to talk about a ‘lingua franca’ while insisting on the need to speak English.

In a few hours in Gorton and Denton - you have the opportunity to transform our politics.
A vote for Hannah Spencer & the Green Party will entirely change our national conversation.
And Hannah will be brilliant for Manchester.
