Keir Starmer is the most dishonest UK prime minister in my lifetime, and yes I am counting Boris Johnson in that assessment
No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

Richard Tice & Nigel Farage would throw your town under the bus any day just to get an inch further up Trump’s arsehole. They can smell the MAGA money & they’ll sell us all down the river to get it.
We at @reformparty_uk stand with and thank Israel and the US Unlike the Labour & Lib Dem cowards

The fascists don’t understand those they hate. British Muslims just voted for a working white woman dog-breeder led by a gay Jewish man who defends trans rights. Meanwhile, the fascists are accusing Muslims of wanting to ban dogs and force burqas on women. Twitter is not real

The key to getting paid a six-figure salary for being a political analyst, is to take several years longer than the average chump to recognise any political phenomenon.
What’s so interesting about this is that some in the left of Lab, so invigorated by Corbyn, seems to have found a new home in the Greens

It's poetic justice that Starmer's most damaging defeat comes to a party which simply ran on the promises he cynically made to win the Labour leadership in 2020

The family voting stuff is the most transparently confected attempt at a moral panic I have ever seen in my life, jaw-dropping in its obviousness. But then that’s part of the point isn’t it? They intend to take us deep into post-democracy if we have the temerity to vote them out.

This is exactly what's going on and it's surprising how many people, who should know better, have failed to notice.
Been saying this since 2024 – the top 40 seats in which the Greens came second are most urban, multi-ethnic working class, with a decent chunk of downwardly mobile graduates thrown in. With Labour pitching rightwards, there was an open goal for a party going big on housing, cost

Keir Starmer and the Labour right set out to destroy the British left. Tonight, the British left has just written their obituary.

"Our politicians are idiots..... they mistake tactics for strategy, messaging for morality, triangulation for leadership. They treat politics as a career ladder when it should be a public service." This is very good from @judeinlondon

Much of our politics now consists of performance rather than governance. The calculations are short-term by design: win...

I feel sick being alive in this moment. We have been watching children in Gaza be blown to pieces for over two years. I just watched a video of a father in the West Bank falling to the ground when he heard his child was beat to death with hammers in Israeli prison. We are

Your reminder that Labour are a straight up right wing party. This is from their 2024 GE position and compiled based on "speeches, manifestos and voting records". They are further right now. They were left of centre in 2019. Source: https://t.co/x8tZyTnNf0

Looking forward to hearing more about this. Hope Zack and his team can have real influence over Scottish Green policy and strategy, and this isn't just the Scottish Greens trying to ride on Zack's coattails.

Right-wing Labour MP Shabana Mahmood is flat out calling for an inescapable panopticon and the total abolition of privacy in the UK.

Im not an antisemite. I agree with the views of 60% of Jews in America who believe "Israel is committing war crimes in #Gaza". I agree with the 40% of Jews in America who believe "Israel is committing genocide". I stand with the 51% of British Jews who believe Israel’s conduct
