Runaway #ClimateChange is here, now.

The only party with any plan to deal with it is @greenparty.org.uk.

All Labour can think of is chasing endless economic growth that NEVER "trickles down" and is an excuse to avoid ever discussing wealth redistribution.

Bluesky deletes the accounts of the very real Gaza civilians here. But their plight isn't over and they rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her family. And find and help others. We’re their only voice and means of survival. ❤️ 🙏

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

Why doesn't Jenrick just admit he is now too racist for the Tories and defect to Reform?

Every time you hear #StopTheBoats remember this: #Brexit tore up the tool that actually stopped them.
And now the same people want us to leave the #ECHR.
Ask yourself why the parties of the right - of big business and billionaires - want to reduce and remove your human rights.
