Israel is breaking the Ceasefire and is still starving the people of Gaza

The only point behind the Ceasefire was to get the Israeli hostages

Now Israel will continue to escalate, while the Western Media/Politicians ignore it, until Hamas strike back

Then it's back to Genocide

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

That's not what I said. I always voted Labour - socialist to the core. However, the Green Party was always in my heart, being an environmentalist but tactical voting, aimed at hitting the tories always stopped me before.

Thank you 😁 The past years under the tories and now the red tories have depressed me more than I thought - I'm glad I followed my heart this time by joining the Greens - no more tactical voting for me...

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

The Novokuybyshevsk Refinery in the Samara region, Russia, has been struck by drones. A huge fire can be seen from Samara.

The refinery produces annually 7.9 million tons in oil products and is around 1,000 km (600 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 @brexitbin.bsky.social · 1d

SPOILER ALERT: The number one reason for voting Brexit was to "control our borders".
"Asked if there were any examples where Brexit has helped the UK 'control our borders', both the Border Security Commander Martin Hewitt and the Director General of the National Crime Agency Rob Jones were stumped.”

Borders chief can’t name a way Brexit has helped UK control its borders

The new border security commander, Martin Hewitt, said he did ‘not immediately’ have an answer

Blackcap.
So many ponds are perfectly manicured & offer no access to wildlife other than sterile stones along the margins.
If you place branches dipping into the pond, then a far greater range of opportunities is provided for birds & small mammals to use the water.
Weeds are great too.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

Never before have I felt so let down by a Labour government as with this one. I cancelled my membership earlier this year. Zack Polanski gives me hope. In the space of 8 weeks, I've joined the Green Party, and been encouraged to stand as a councillor for my local ward! And I couldn't be happier 😍

It’s this kind of discussion - honest, deep, fact-based, progressive - that @bylinesnetwork.co.uk makes happen everyday in our publications too. No surprise Mike is our co-founder.

Let's keep growing our movement with the joy of knowing we all deserve so much better - and we can make it happen.

Socialism: You have two cows. The state takes one, so everyone has a cow.

Communism: You have two cows. The state takes both and gives you a ration of milk.

Capitalism: One man has two billion cows, and milk is unaffordable.
