Show this to a flagshagger. They’ll hate it.

Reform isn’t a party. It’s a pyramid scheme. Farage and his billionaire donors aren’t patriots. They’re con men up to their BALLS in foreign money.

This explains how they do it.

Stop believing the bullshit.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

International Day of the Girl 2025

Since 1995, more girls are in school, there are fewer child marriages, and greater access to health and legal protections.

But progress isn’t equal.

Girls in conflict and poverty still face huge barriers

Every benefit cut is a cut to a high street, a care worker, a council service.

You can’t “balance the books” by burning the foundations.

That’s how you hollow out a nation.

Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

That the Nobel Peach Prize was *not* awarded to thirsty Donald Trump makes it wonderful. That it was awarded to a woman makes it even better. That she is from a country Trump slanders makes it even better. That it was awarded for promoting democracy, something Trump undermines, makes it perfection.

Mental health doesn't take a day off.

The Green Party is committed to ensuring mental health and physical health care are equally prioritised.

That means funding major improvements in mental health care - so that all of us can access the support we need, when we need it.

No one should be stuck in the awful position of waiting months on end for mental health services.

It's time to supercharge mental health care in this country.

Our Plan to Super Charge mental health services:
-Mental health MOTs at key life points
-A dedicated practitioner in every school
-Full parity between mental and physical health care
-Walk in hubs for children and young people
-Triple taxes on harmful social media giants

María Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for democracy in Venezuela. A fierce opponent of the Maduro regime, she’s hailed for advocating a peaceful transition from dictatorship.

Trump is probably furious and preparing a TruthSocial post 😆
