Yet they claim to be protecting women and girls? These men make me feel extremely unsafe.

More so than any migrant has made me feel.

In fact, any violence I've ever personally experienced has come from white British men.

Our momentum right now is really fantastic

People are fed up of Farage and his scare tactics and lies.

I hear we may reach 80k members today or tomorrow.

Join us today and be a part of the only party that can fight Reform 💚

So did McSweeney learn hiding pro-Israel donors from Starmer, or Starmer from McSweeney?

The Tories - yes, the Tories - have received email leaks over McSweeney - but they beg the question, is the bigger crook him or Starmer?

ALSO

I work in the recruitment industry, professionals in oil and gas jobs have in demand skills in the renewable sector too. Growing renewable investment allows for upskilling of these professionals, no skills are wasted or left behind

The Green Party of England & Wales @greenparty.org.uk · 17d

The far-right are trying their best to stand up for Big Oil and scupper plans for cheaper cleaner renewables.

But renewable energy just keeps growing. Because it makes economic sense and helps bring down bills AND emissions.

The BBC have clearly been bought

Dr Caz 🌳🔶🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @drcj.bsky.social · 18d

BBC News 6 o’clock news, 2nd top story is about ReformUK’s policy, as if it’s a real govt policy.

Saying “this will…”

If you tell people something often enough, it becomes normal.

Once again, BBC needs to stop manifesting a Reform govt.

This Friday 9am the witch-hunt continues....

Isaac Herzog, a man the UN says is complicit in genocide, was welcomed to Downing Street last week for tea.

Mo Chara, meanwhile, who has spoken against genocide across the world, they allege is a terrorist.

We will not be silent.

We absolutely need migration

Not just for the obvious economic and productivity benefits but also because of our declining birth rate coupled with an ageing population.

And, on a personal level, so many of my friends are migrants and they bring wonderful insights and culture to my life!

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 18d

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Reform are so online that they think it would be popular to deport people who’ve been lawfully in the U.K. for years. Labour are so online that they can’t quite condemn it as abhorrent. And everyone else is so online they think Reform’s proposals might be popular.

In a time where hate is being used to turn people against each other over immigration, hope & community should always triumph over hate & isolation.💚
