One reason the revolt on disability benefits is looking so substantial is the line being used to defend it lacks any integrity. To claim that the purpose of cutting PIP - a non-means tested benefit - is to help people back into work requires saying something untrue.

No more lies, we need action.

Huge congratulations to David Beckham who is getting a knighthood to reward him for begging for a knighthood for years, making him the first person in quite some time to not be knighted for giving politicians lots of money ♥️

The left is crying out for a politician like this who is proud of being on the left and is incredibly competent even when being interviewed by centrists #BackZack so that we can 40 Green MPs at least in the next General Election because we don't have time for little by little slow growth

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

I'm missing some, but this is the media engagement the Greens need to be achieving. Since announcing his leadership bid Zack Polanski has had interviews with: ITV news The Big Issue Novara Turn Left Jeremy Vine Laura Kussenberg New Statesman The Guardian Byline TV Independent The National #backzack

End the hostile environment. Migrants welcome and tax the rich. That’s why we’re building power in communities and at Westminster. That’s how we win.

Today's by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse. Vote wisely. You have the power to stop fascism growing in Scotland. DO NOT LET THE FASCISTS IN. They are grifters. They do not care for you. #SmashReform

Mary-Ann Stephenson was very active in feminist politics in Coventry during the 2010s. I can confirm she is extremely transphobic, although she always kept her nastiest comments behind closed doors. This proposed appointment should be resisted in the strongest possible terms.

Loved this interview with @turnleftmedia.co.uk We talk about inequality, the failing Labour government, how we can stop Farage and why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party. #BackZack youtu.be/xR-pnE4dQT0?...

I watched this interview in its entirety. Zacks answers to these questions could not have been any better and has solidified him as the ideal leader for the Green Party. #backzack #greenparty

A mother badger. Three cubs. A rescue mission across counties. A story of love, loss, and local heroes. Read what happened when volunteers raced to save orphaned badger cubs in Bedfordshire. From Sally Jones @badgertrust.bsky.social

Small c conservative Greens from the shires are attacking former Labour members and "lefties" for joining the Green Party. How do they suppose we win this seat if not with "disgruntled" Labour people. Or the 39 seats where we came second to Labour. I'm backing @ZackPolanski to win those seats

Tony Blair should be tried as a war criminal, as should Keir Starmer.

This man has been talking about - and fully intends to - ethnically cleanse Gaza. And here is Keir Starmer absolutely fawning over him. Anyone else feel physically sick to see this?

What Zionism, European settler colonialist ideology, does to Palestine.

It's human instinct to dismiss what we disagree with. But Trump, Bannon, Musk, Farage benefit from being underestimated. "It gives credence to the notion their radical politics is necessary. Left unchecked, 'outlandish' possibilities can become concrete realities" Take it seriously. My thoughts 👇

When the Justice minister who once overlooked the execution of women in public squares, assumes 90% of Syrians want Sharia law, its alarming. Syrian Muslim communities do not resemble this man and his extremist ideology must have no place in Syria's justice system. Its really that simple.

It's naive to expect a billionaire not to use a paper he owns to further his own ends. Media and government capture are reasons why billionaires should be abolished by heart taxation and asset confiscation.

@AJEnglish: Amnesty International says Israel’s detention of Kamal Adwan Hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safia is emblematic of the “genocidal intent” in Israel’s broader attempts to “annihilate” Gaza’s healthcare sector. 🔴 LIVE updates: https://t.co/ng9Cds7ZkB

Not particularly surprising to see #bojo #truss #farage cavorting with the fascists - they have shown who they are.

Our leaders must demand the immediate and safe release of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya and all detained Gaza health workers. Health workers are not a target, and impunity for Israel's destruction of Palestinian healthcare must end. Please share.

It’s only terrorism when the Capitalist Class gets threatened.
