Ah yes well that part of Arkansas voted about 75% for the Felon in Chief, so you’re not entirely to blame.

Looks good. YouTube has become almost unusably shite of late with its constant push for irrelevant shorts.

A Green government would proscribe the Israel Defense Forces as a terrorist organisation.

The forces currently actioning war crimes and genocide upon the people of Gaza on behalf of the Israeli government.

This must not be allowed to continue.

Always wanted a Multiface for my Spectrum but never had one. One of my mates did and I was well jealous.

Right. So 8 years on and no sign of any reduction in childhood obesity rates in France, Labour now decides this is a bright idea. 🤷‍♂️

Governments can do more than one idiotic thing at once, amazingly.

It wasn't asylum seekers who increased anyone's rent or energy bills, the rich did that.

'There's like 30 of you'

Yes, it's called solidarity. Get used to it.

This is the response these fuckers need to get hit with, not a bunch of liberals trying to 'debate' them.

This is such a good idea Caroline. If unions won’t disaffiliate from a party that hasn’t represented “labour” for decades now, it’s up to union members to insist that they won’t have their subs fund an entity that undermines them on a daily basis.

I’ve asked @unitesouthwest.bsky.social to remove the bit of my political levy that goes to Labour Party, all 4p of it, but keep the rest! The lady I spoke to was having trouble splitting it out, so has passed it on to the @unitetheunion.bsky.social political team. As a Green it feels the right thing

The Labour Party are bought and paid for.

Lobbying, cash for access, vested interests. This is who they are.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski added: “Big business and vested interests are far too often at the heart of government...

“People elect governments. Yet, when we see how upper layers of government work, people are largely excluded and business interests ushered in."

Presumably Thangam’s advice on turning the rising Green tide is to lose your seat to them and be given a life peerage for your troubles. The very definition of failing upwards that these people are so familiar with.

That’s ’Starmer Power’ for you. One dose of it and you’re on a two-day come down.

That single digit presumably being made up primarily of this sort of wonder.

A post reads: “When I was doing my day job (coaching/ supervision) | learned how to "tune in" to people at as much depth as possible.
When I met Keir Starmer, I picked up respect, honesty, authenticity and a power it took me a couple of days to come down from. Projection on my part?
I dont think so.”
