If you want our taxes to be spent on us not the Superich Vote Green. In the Green Party we have no neoliberals, fascists,racists, homophobes, transphobes, Islamaphobes, Chauvenists, noone cruel to animals, no climate change deniers, and no tax avoiders. Greens are proud ecosocialists.

The Green Wave is here, and clear, get used to it!💚 www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Starmer warned of Green Party exodus over Reform obsession

Labour may soon be ‘haemorrhaging’ left-wing voters to Zack Polanski’s party which is surging in polls, amid disillusionment with the party’s shift to the right

He's a fascist dictator.
He is a dangerous rapist.
He is a multiple Felon. He caused insurrection. He rules as a tyrant. He has complicity in genocide. He puts immigrants in concentration camps. He has a sociopathic lust for power. He cheats, lies, breaks agreements & disregards human rights.

Good thought. Of course Somethings can't be undone and it is too late to change your mind.

A Rocky Mountain goat. Fierce and albinoesque. Such small horns and thick white shaggy coat. I hadn't thought about different species of goats. Just different breeds. But apparently there are many. Thank you for the video.

If I joined a political Party it would indeed be The Green Party of England, Cornwall & Wales. Yes I would like the Party to consider the Cornish People & give Cornwall, devolution & recognition as a sovereign nation of the UK. It is the last celtic land still being ruled by Westminster (England).

I think we need to start investing in all people to find ways for everyone to blossom. Some conditions / disabilities require much support but we can't expect people to suddenly go to work in an environment they can't cope in. Rethink cuts Streeting and Reeves. Assist NOT ABANDON the disabled.

Rachel Reeves’ budget must reduce inequalities and increase spending capacity of the masses

This is how to secure sustained economic growth

It would help if you were more honest and refer to the Starmer Party as Right Wing not centrist. It's a very irritating misused as an insult type of word. It just confuses our electorate.

Think asbestos had been cleared last century?
It is still killing.

It’s still killing people, and the government has yet to act: Britain’s hidden asbestos epidemic | Tom White

Asbestos was banned in 1999, but as materials left in our buildings deteriorate, thousands of lives are being lost every year, says writer and education worker Tom White

Yes. I was half asleep. thank you for sharing.

AntiFa are the majority of people in the world. Making up the narrative the majority of people are a terrorist organisation is just more evidence that Trump has lost his marbles. How many times does he have to be told it is an abbreviation for anti fascist, not an organisation. FFS 🙄 #IAmAntifa

Anything that hits the poor for the benefit of the Rich.

proudleftycw.bsky.social @proudleftycw.bsky.social · 2d

The treasure in the field: it's what monks and nuns do. Give up their belongings. But priests and ministers have much wealth. I guess its interpreted in different ways. Im socialist so support shared luxury over personal wealth.
Im leaving it there for now.. Past my bedtime.
Thanks for the chat.

I agree that home fireworks are a disappointment and expensive.

proudleftycw.bsky.social @proudleftycw.bsky.social · 2d

The New Year London display uses an enormous amount of fireworks. It encourages people to buy fireworks and it carries risk itself. Isn't there a better safer display for New Year say a drone, laser, or projection show?

I also like " it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." To me it is a reminder that you cannot take wealth and titles with you when you die. Also a warning against exploitation for personal gain.

The restoration to life was at St Bartholomew's Hospital by the #1 Heart surgeon in Europe Professor Aung Ye Oo. And a team of multinational nurses who got me through pneumonia after open heart surgery. I died but a ventilator and their constant work on my body for a number of days brought me back.

One of my favourite parables is "The Good Samaritan". As an agnostic I relate to treating everyone of all faiths and none the same and trying to give help to whoever needs it.
My life has been saved more than once & been brought back from death. I'm in awe of the good samaritans who saved me.

The Police were not banning Israeli Footballers for ethical reasons, they want to avoid unrest. Reform copy cats Starmer and Badenoch attacked the police accusing them of antisemitism. They should be ashamed mixing sanctions against war criminals (Israel) with hatred of Jewish people.

They are small minded bigots Zarah. I haven't heard anything about the transphobic MP Adna Hussain. Is he still part of Your Party? You are a true DEI believer and must feel some disappointment with him. It's difficult to fight Reform with people who have prejudicial views in the Party... Best. CW

I think he was brilliant at philosophy. I'm agnostic so I wouldn't dare enter a bible quote match. You'd always win! Whilst I love allot of the New Testament valuing much about Jesus, it is from a socialism viewpoint. I hope I haven't offended. If I have I apologise.

Jesus philosophy impresses me. Titles like king dont. I therefore refer to him as philosopher.
