I really do despise Monarchists. Abolish the Monarchy and this bootlickery.
We are pleased to see that Clive Lewis MP has been forced to retake his affirmation of allegiance following our complaint to the Clerk of the House of Commons.
MPs must not be excused from the common allegiance that binds our nation together.

NEW: Labour MP Clive Lewis has been made to swear in again, having taken the House of Commons oath “under protest” last week
In his initial rendition, Lewis also *forgot* to swear allegiance to King Charles' “heirs and successors” — which I suppose was a no no

The Left in this country is in the Green Party.
We're the only party in Westminster calling to tax the rich to fund the NHS. To repeal anti trade union laws and fund a Green New Deal.
Left wing, targeted, disciplined. This is how we win.
The Tories were smashed - and Greens and independents surged.
In dozens of seats, the Greens came a strong second behind Labour.
For the left, there is more grounds for optimism than there has been for years.
