Labour have lied to the British public and Starmer very nearly put the people of Birmingham in danger by trying to allow these hooligans to come over. Resign Starmer

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies."

Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration.

“It’s outrageous to even talk about spending cuts when people are already exhausted and struggling. We need to tax the wealthiest and invest in our public services.”

Green Party leader @ZackPolanski says the government must stop punishing working people and start taxing wealth fairly.

This in particular is hugely damaging to Labour…

Lab supporters now realise Starmer’s very recent speech at Conference was simply words - which Starmer has no intention of implementing.

Like millions already gone, Labour supporters on-the-fence with this govt will now flock to Greens or LibDems.

No, Labour is actively helping the far right. You are enabling the far right. You are no different to a Reform voter.

McSweeney: Prime Minister, I have an extremely cunning plan: if we only make every second sentence racist, then we'll appeal to both racists and non-racists equally and success will be guaranteed

Labour is dead in Wales and Scotland.
Congratulations 'Blue Labour'.
Congratulations McSweeney and Starmer.
Congratulations "fiscal rules" Reeves.
Vote PC in Wales, and SNP in Scotland to keep fascist Reform out.

Good. Greens shouldn't work with Labour. If there's a dire need on election day, who knows. Now? No chance. Labour has made it's bed and it's bed is with The Tories and Reform.

Labour has failed it's voters and the Greens should look to replace them.

⚡️ Poland warns Putin's flight to Hungary for Trump talks could be diverted to The Hague.

"I cannot guarantee that an independent Polish court won't order the government to escort such an aircraft down to hand (Putin) over to the court in The Hague," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.

They love phrasing things in flag speak, but if it means pro PR then I'll roll with it and say it's the patriotic duty of everyone involved in government to introduce PR. Save the country. Union Jacks everywhere, fuck Reform, it's coming home, I don't care they can drape PR in scones if they want

Francis Fisher @underthesunglow.bsky.social · 9h

I'd love to know if they actually believe the strategy can win. Like is it sunk cost, or do they genuinely believe they can win with it? Won't happen. The economy would have to 180 in 4 years. They need to introduce PR to save the country, at some point you have to think it's their patriotic duty

If we take 3 points from Labour then it's a step closer to a straight up fight between Reform (corporate sponsored immigration scapegoaters ) or the Greens (and real hope).

The Farage allies are Labour who are appeasing the far right and demonising immigrants. Labour are a racist party. You are just a propaganda account with nothing for me here

Francis Fisher @underthesunglow.bsky.social · 11h

The Labour Party are at fault, they are pandering and appeasing racists. Anyone still planning on voting Labour should be ashamed of themselves

Francis Fisher @underthesunglow.bsky.social · 12h

Sounds like Reform policy. Sounds horrible. Starmer and Labour are just tinpot Tories, racists

Francis Fisher @underthesunglow.bsky.social · 12h

It is highly un-british and unpatriotic for your government to be copying Tory deportation policies. How dare your racist government try and court racist Reform voters. We are all voting Green in the future, never voting Labour again

Francis Fisher @underthesunglow.bsky.social · 12h

I voted Labour for a good portion of my life. Never again. Even if they get rid of Starmer and his little pet McSweeney. Labour have pushed me to go join the Green Party, cheers Labour

YouGov’s latest voting intention poll shows Reform UK on 26% (-1 from last week), Labour on 20% (no change), the Conservatives on 17% (no change), Lib Dems on 15% (-1) and the Greens on 15% (+2).

Second week in a row that the Greens have recorded their highest ever score in a YouGov poll.

I think Labour is suddenly discovering how many of its voters were actually Green Party voters lending their votes to the party they thought could win at the time. I don't think the Green vote has peaked yet.

The very real condition of government announcement-itis in which repeated claims of new investments, simplified regulations, public funds, and various other initiatives cumulatively don't actually add up to very much at all.
