“…I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients, or kids in education and parents being mucked around,"

No Christopher Luxon, people are getting sick of YOU prioritising your fiscal policies on your already wealthy mates, rather than on healthcare and education.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Nicola Willis loves talking about how things _could_ be done. Surely we all already know by now that it's absolutely demented to sell basic infrastructure (and if you think our network isn't fundamental infra then think some more) why would we ever want to give control to some other random party?

There was a guy in an inflatable frog suit at a protest in Portland and ICE shot him with pepper balls and he responded by dancing. Iconic.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Ukraine said how they would respond if Russia did this again. It's why they've been stockpiling Flamingos for months. Expect to see more Russian infrastructure exploding soon. 3000km range, 1100kg+ warhead, so it could be deep inside Russia.
