Nigel Farage just tried to bring a Bill to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
I voted against it - and the whole thing was rejected.
We can’t let Farage strip away the rights that help ordinary people stand up to the rich and powerful.

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96
All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.
But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

Polanski is the new Johnson.
I’ll get so much shit for this but I did with Farage as well when people were tickling his balls and look at the utter hate for the man now. Fck polls,when reality bites Polanski will collapse like Farage.

What do these two have in common?

It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour, whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.
Three years ago, Labour was polling in the 50s.
