I see the PM is being very rattled and very untruthful about the Greens again in the papers.
He couldn’t say this stuff in Parliament because he would be lying to the House - both about what our popular, evidence-based policies are, and about him believing this guff.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Wes Streeting have decided to slash spending and appeal to the worst prejudices of nasty people to justify attacking those who are in need or do not confirm. Legitimate protesters. Trans. Divergent. Before long only the completely 'normal' acceptable conforming will be allowed life.

We have already rewound the climate clock to the Pliocene (3C hotter, sea levels ~20m higher)
If we keep on as we are, the even hotter Miocene beckons
Inaction will see our world reprise the early Eocene hothouse, bringing potential oblivion

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

Oh dear.
Blimey. Major new split in Your Party. Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain -who is secretary of the Your Party company - says he's quitting due to "persistent infighting, factional competition, and a struggle for power, position and influence rather than a shared commitment to the common good."

Thought shar d with me: Zak needs to not allow media to identify him as the "mamdani" - this is because US propaganda machine is out to destroy Mamdani and Zak will be tarnished by association. He can support Mamdamis message whilst carving out his own, distinct political identity! What do we think?

Zohran wins - this is victory for the POLITICAL minority! - is the sense that modern reality is that evidence shows corporate wealth / lobbying disproportionately advantages the influence of the minority - ERGO the masses are disadvantaged politically as if the 1% was more numerous than the 99%.
