Finally, a politician talking sense...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social:

“I think rejoining the CU is something we should be doing as soon as possible”

“Over longer term, absolutely we should be rejoining the EU".

“I think Brexit was a catastrophic decision".

Ending EU free movement a ‘disaster’ for Britain, says Green Party’s Zack Polanski

The party’s new leader calls for the migration pact to be reinstated as he sets out his stall on Brexit.

Is there any chance Starmer could adopt a sensible plan that actually works?

Zoe Gardner @zoejardiniere.bsky.social · 1d

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward

The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

'The environment secretary, Emma Reynolds, has been visited by the EU ambassador, Pedro Serrano, who has warned the trade deal is at risk by the new bill.'

It's not clear whether this is yet another rake that Starmer has trodden on, or his way of guaranteeing the UK will never align with the EU.

If you're "staying on X to fight the Nazis"...you're very much not winning

Nazis openly organize on Elon Musk’s X platform and the Nazi fundraising outfit GiveSendGo to bail out a Nazi in Georgia who donned an SS uniform and assaulted a woman with a glass pitcher. www.jpost.com/diaspora/ant...

There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to
secure Morgan's release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly.

"I am in contact with
@GasChambers," Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for. "We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free.
Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone.
We are going to get Kenneth out very soon."

Miller said the donation campaign was needed because Morgan had lost his job over the incident. The crowdfunding campaign, on a site that bills itself as a Christian alternative to GoFundMe and is reportedly popular among extremists, has raised more than $5,000 so far, with donors listed as "White Power," "Joseph Goebbels," and "H3il H1tler."

They might have a word with their leader, to persuade him to get off the hell site.

Thanks Warren. Now following all those I wasn't already following... even those who strangely have nothing to say.

According to scientists hurricane Melissa has been predominantly caused by climate change.

But hey - let's all keep listening to people who know fuck all about it and tell us there isn't a problem.... even as the oil lobby funds them.

Well, yes!

BrianinFrance @brianinfrance.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe the result of Starmer not being able to "make Brexit work" after all. 🤷‍♂️

BrianinFrance @brianinfrance.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly this 👇👇

The continued presence of the government and public institutions on X should no longer be a matter of debate. It should simply be a matter of shame.

I've never understood why, in the minds of leading politicians, an impending, irreversible disaster, can be trumped by the opportunity to make a quick buck.

Indeed it is Carla.

According to Global Witness: Lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry – and in one case an energy company itself – donated over £45,000 collectively to Labour’s new intake of MPs, according to the first update to the MPs Register of Financial Interests since the election.

Money talks.

Officials called it “too negative.”

I would suggest that 'officials' are too compromised by the oil industry.

“Despite the rainforest being a few thousand miles away from the UK, its destruction affects us all....hiding a damning report to inform the public is morally wrong and questions the UK government’s commitments and leadership.” says Martin Simmoneau, Head of Advocacy at Cool Earth.

The sad truth is that a large proportion of the electorate are taken in by click-bait right-wing headlines.
