What's up? Islington Greens are up, surging in Islington South & Finsbury. It's looking good for GREENS for May.

The chart shows the green vote in Islington south now stands at 22.5% against Labour's 36.2%. But Labour is down 17.5% while we continue to gain ground.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

I am not shy to say when I disagree with Sadiq Khan. But I also think it's important to say out loud when other politicians get it right.

This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

Hardcore climate denialism seems like a very US problem, but its deep pocketed funders are also behind some UK politicians.

We cannot let this influence block action to prevent the worst of climate change, which will affect every single one of us.

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.
