The centre is falling apart and the right is rising.
Not just in the UK, but all over the world.

Thankfully, there is hope!
Whether that be the Greens in the UK, France Insoumise or Zohran Mamdani.

Socialists are fighting back.

Lisa Nandy. Steve Reed. Rachel Reeves. Top Labour ministers are lying daily – so why is Keir Starmer doing nothing but shrug his shoulders? Hamish Morrison asks ✍️

I've recently rejoined Green Party. In last hour come off a call with various experienced activists and politicians.
I've been in/around fringes and frontline mechanics of left politics on/off since 1980s.
Truly never heard such clarity, candour, self-awareness as in tonight's Green Party meeting.

Why is Starmer still PM?
Here's Palantir's Louis Mosley, grandson of Britain's most famous fascist leader, talking about the importance of AI, if you aren't convinced yet that this is one big co-ordinated push towards the destruction of everything good in life.

If you vote Labour you are one yes, because Labour are a right wing party. Labour voters should be ashamed and embarrassed. They're now like Tory voters in 2024, completely in denial

So much for "boosting growth".
All this vandalism will do is leave us with devastated ecosystems, fewer green spaces, worse quality of life, while neither solving the housing crisis (because the problem IS NOT AND NEVER WAS "bats and newts") nor creating "growth".

In the future this Labour government will be remembered as the worst of its kind. An embarrassment to the party for the rest of recorded time.
Appeasers of the far right, enemy of the climate, the fools who squandered a huge majority. All to enact austerity and continue the Tory chaos.

Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote?
Here is another "support Labour or you'll get Reform" bot. Labour are just as bad as Reform. The entire Labour cabinet is inept, their advisors are useless and the PM doesn't even run the country his chief of staff does.

If you still defend Labour now you are either a bot or not paying attention.
The main think tank Labour uses called "Future of the Left" is based in the Policy Exchange building. This is the project that is pushing Blue Labour policy.

Labour is as ingrained in right wing politics as much as the Tories and Reform. NEVER trust Labour
We forced the Charity Commission to investigate the climate change denying Global Warming Policy Foundation and the Liz Truss aligned Institute for Economic Affairs and now we've raised a complaint about the hate propagandising of the Policy Exchange Foundation. goodlaw.social/xixz

But Richard, WHY DID A MAJORITY OF YOUR CRAVEN LABOUR COLLEAGUES FAIL TO DO SO? Because Starmer told them NOT to, & SO THEY DIDN’T DARE STAND UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. Starmer’s Labour absolutely CANNOT BE TRUSTED to defend our human rights. Utterly shameful bunch of cowards!
Nigel Farage just tried to bring a Bill to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights.

I voted against it - and the whole thing was rejected.

We can’t let Farage strip away the rights that help ordinary people stand up to the rich and powerful.

The Labour Party doesn’t care about the ECHR. They’re lying to you if they say they do. Any excuse and Starmer and Labour would drag us out of it.

The human rights lawyer turned human rights destroyer.
Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96

All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.

But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

'Daily Herald' is definitely a Labour propaganda sock puppet. Really transparent, really embarrassing. They don't get much luck on this site
