The rhetoric of the far right is escalating.
Look at ICE in the US. Armed militias kidnapping people off the streets.

We’ve seen this before.
It’s fascism. Imported from the US to British shores by the likes of Farage and Tommy Robinson.

Will you help us fight it?

At Conference, the Tories plot to drag us back — abolishing the Climate Change Act and ‘maximising extraction’ of North Sea oil and gas.

Graphic featuring a close-up wind turbine over farmland under a cloudy sky. Headline reads: “THE WORLD MOVES FORWARD WITH RENEWABLES AS TORIES LOOK BACK.” Below is a quote from Green MP Carla Denyer: “The news that renewable energy overtook coal as the world’s leading source of electricity shows our world is moving in a cleaner, greener, healthier direction, but the Tories are plotting how they can block both people and the planet from benefitting from this transition.” Bottom shows Carla Denyer’s headsh

"We can't carry on with a Labour government that has not done anything like enough to get us out of this doom loop..."

Thank you to @rachelmillward.bsky.social & @mothinali.bsky.social for putting their hearts into their #GPconf speeches.

Their stories, care, and action shows how the personal is political. The value of turning into our pain.

As Rachel said, “it takes a certain kind of darkness to see the stars”.
