Pensioner, ex-professional creative, collector, videogamer, UK Green Party member. The Tories have remodelled themselves into a Reform clone, but without the popular appeal of Farage. Their polling is what Reform's would be without him.

Please share any charity shows you're aware of underneath this post; particularly those collecting canned and non-perishable foods, and Toys for Tots. Millions are about to lose food stamps, and kids are about to have a bleak Christmas under this Administration...

I'm sure the Daily Excuse will run with that as a front-pager
The last few years have not been kind to Andy Windsor. He's on the verge of wresting the title of 'scrotum face' off Gordon Brown. I guess it shows how desperate he is for any title.
Harriet Harman said on #ElectoralDysfunction that Labour could counter the exodus of progressive voters to the Greens by delivering a green agenda. But they triggered that exodus by walking away from green policies. That pattern, of disastrous decision followed by regret, typifies this Labour govt

I don't believe that Jenrick will ever lead the Tories, let alone the country. He's crooked, oleaginous and prepared to say anything he thinks might get him nearer to power. The Tories know their next leader needs to be charismatic and able to pass for principled; and Jenrick is neither of those.

Well then. No excuse now, is there.

You have a viable alternative to the piss poor Tory Tribute Act called Labour.

Best vote for it. #VoteGreen every chance you get, who knows you may end up with a Govt that puts people before profit.

Now there’s a thought…
Lisa Nandy stated today in a spat with Zarah Sultana, that, "Conflating being Jewish and Israeli, I have to say, I’m afraid is itself antisemitism." This is an interesting position, as it condemns anyone who claims that Israel is a Jewish State as antisemitic. So that would be Netanyahu, antisemite.

That’s great, a great achievement.

Their policies are really starting to resonate with people. People hate the infighting and incompetence of the other parties and want a more humane approach to the major issues effecting people today.
Disrepute is Reform's central pillar.
Hegseth & Vance's attempted #NoKings spoiler went spectacularly wrong when a live artillery shell fired over a freeway exploded prematurely, raining shrapnel on a patrol car and a bike in Vances motorcade.The ludicrous posturing exercise was immediately called off

Banning Maccabi fans from Aston Villa is about mitigating the risk of soccer violence. For the Labour govt to conflate it with antisemitism is disingenuous. If the govt has its way, and the event is subsequently marred by violence, the blood will be in their hands.

Capitalism is great for retail and services where there is choice in the market, but it has proven to be a consistently unfit mechanism for running monolithic public services and utilities.

The primacy of profit always trumps the interests of the public.

So impressive. It won't just be the Tango Baby who's quaking in his bootees, but all the corrupt and evil vermin who hide in his nappy.
MASSIVE crowds are flooding Times Square for the “NO KINGS” protest in NYC! The energy is electric —New Yorkers are making it clear: we bow to no tyrants. 🗽 #NoKings #NYCProtest
But they are well aware that if the Republicans lose power, there is every chance that they will be held accountable for their actions and punished. So in dismantling the nation's democratic processes, they are acting largely out of self-preservation. #NoKings 2/2
