Thank goodness our federal judges are stepping into the breach and protecting us from these madmen.

A news headline image stating, "Judge temporarily blocks firings by Trump administration during shutdown. Judge says White House office of management and budget took advantage of government shutdown in firing workers." Below the headline is a photo of a protest sign reading "SAVE THE CIVIL SERVICE, SAVE THE COUNTRY!" with an illustration of a raised fist holding an American flag, surrounded by other protest signs and demonstrators, including one with "IAI UNIO" and another with "STAND."

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

The argument that a Green vote is a wasted vote is now null.

The argument that a Green vote helps Reform by hurting Labour is now void.

The Labour Party is finished.

It's now either Farage, Reform and hate.

Or Polanski, The Green Party, hope, and decency.

Which side are you on?

Vote Green!

I see the "The Greens are damaging Labour" narrative has started after Labour's slide in the polls. Labour, in it's current form, is no longer fit for purpose. People have every right to look to alternatives.

The only question anybody should ask is, why is Israel STILL in Gaza, STILL killing Palestinians.

When there is supposed to be a Ceasefire?

It is Israel breaking the Ceasefire and the War Criminals need to be evicted.

But we couldn’t find any evidence Ms Meloni ever said this and the Italian embassy in London told us she made no such statement.
