The Labour government should be utterly humiliated by this. They killed a previous amendment on this issue in a bizarrely out of touch attempt to pander to the right, and now Reform is supporting a new amendment. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

This morning, Madleen was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, before being able to break the siege & deliver humanitarian aid. This is yet another war crime. We call on @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu & the @ec.europa.eu to hold the Israeli government accountable.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

I’m backing @zackpolanski.bsky.social for the next Green Party leader because he understands & champions our drug policy - which is to legalise & regulate all drugs. It will save lives, improve health & social justice outcomes and stop wasting billions in policing a war that cannot be won. 💚

If we talk about trans people's suicidality we are "alarmist" (Maya Forstater) and if we talk about their suicides we are "shroud wavers" (Hilary Cass). They want us to suffer the loss of those we love in silence. But we won't, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social.

When this antisemitic vandalism in Paris happened last weekend, I saw a lot of people online blaming Muslim immigrants and/or pro-Palestine protesters. Turns out it was Russia, wanting people in France to blame those groups to feed support for the far-right. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

This one’s real easy: you got old and comfortable and reactionary, and now you think the Daily Mail has a point. A much more helpful and revealing question than “Are kids selfish and dumb” would be “Why is this bigotry acutely localised to politics and journalism?”

The UK Treasury has screwed Wales again! They've now classed a railway line running for Oxford to Cambridge as an "England and WALES" project. This robs Wales over £300m+ whereas Scotland and NI get their cash. It's a disgrace that this is still happening after the HS2 robbery.

"The answer here is for the government to actually tackle inequality." @zackpolanski.bsky.social makes the case for proper investment in our public services, not more demonisation of migrants.

The horrors in Gaza continue as the Israeli military opens fire at a food distribution point. And yet Keir Starmer still refuses to act. The government must end all arms sales to Israel, call for an immediate ceasefire and denounce Israel's atrocities for what they are - genocide.

Most people don't know this: that Scotland's Gypsy Travellers had their children and their culture ripped away from them. It's history that's been swept under the rug. ScotGov must listen to this report, and give a public apology for its part in this cultural genocide!

The gist of this: Labour are very worried about all their members going to the Greens The author doesn't know what to do about it The remaining Labour faithful should just keep calm and carry on, and for god's sake stop moaning about the Greens 💚 Love to see it! labourlist.org/2025/06/gree...
