I want fairer taxation, not predatory capitalism.
I want a party that stand up hard to maniacs like Musk.
I want to be able to peacefully protest against genocide.
I don't want to be thrown to the wolves for being disabled.

By contemporary far-right standards, this is rare good news for democracy.

Far right fizzles in Portugal’s local elections

Chega failed to conquer any major cities but is set to receive three times as many votes as in 2021.

I think there's a distinct pathway to refer them for de-radialisation now though, so there's that at least :/

There's no Russian money/Kompromat or Mossad involvement in the Greens would be my guess as to why...

UKIP leader Nick Tenconi shows himself to be complete buffoon in new speech

UKIP now consists of Nick Tenconi, three bitter men in a pub in Kent whose kids won't speak to them, and a ageing rottweiler called Keith - if you were wondering.

@greenparty.org.uk
Small thing + I'm totally happy to be getting these emails, but at first glance they look like spam.
Maybe front it with The Green Party + then the pertinent sender.
Small thing, but could be the difference in getting a message across versus ignored.

...and the Qatari military will be functioning under what law?

Interesting Donold's the one bringing that to US soil, but I guess if the gift's nice enough.

When he was prime minister, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson issued his version of the ministerial code.

It included the very rules he has now been found to have repeatedly breached……no shock there then!
