We’re still an absolute skeleton crew of 14 people, competing with teams sometimes 100x as large as ours. To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever […]

Labour fell embarrassingly short of delivering anything resembling a wealth tax but thanks to the #greens the pressure isn’t going anywhere. The only argument against it is “but they’ll leave” as if their properties are being shipped off with them.

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Our conversation about immigration is framed entirely on Nigel Farage’s terms.
Labour has completely capitulated the ground to the far right, the racism & the hate.
We no longer have a conversation AT ALL about how we need immigration & when we cut it, we pay the price. #r4today

Green Party (of England & Wales) membership stood at around 68,000 when @ZackPolanski became leader & in not even 3 months, the party’s membership has increased by over 100,000 people!
That is not just a monumental shift, we are seeing the first signs of a literal restructuring of #uk politics […]

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Britain claiming its border security is under threat after threatening the border security of practically every country to have ever existed is a dog whistle and a distraction.
Those with a fraction of your political rights are not the enemy, it’s the ones manipulating you into thinking so.

Not to take away from Mamdani but just on standing unapologetically. This is exactly the same as Labour UK collapsing despite morphing into Reform with Greens benefiting under Polanski in being unapologetically left wing.

I’ve seen no corporate media outlet cover this: •Post 2024 polls showed that Harris campaigning with Cheney decreased enthusiasm for her by 7% •Post 2025 polls show that Mamdani running as an unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA voters who went for Trump in 2024 The lesson Corporate Dems need to learn: You don’t flip votes by compromising on your values, but by unapologetically leaning into them.
