Ruskin absolutely rolling in his grave rn at so much contact with pussy

Is this guy trying to convince me that the phrase ‘Stalin with a nose ring’ is no laughing matter?

Hello, vote Green

(I reckon they're still going to win absolutely loads of seats and a bunch of councils outright, though)

aye, you can only be an anti-establishment party for so long, and if you don't really bother with a local ground game (and where you do do it you have to contend with the fact that locals sometimes already know your candidates & don't much care for them, because they're the local pub bores)... well

That, plus their eager embrace of defecting Tories, plus there being other "none of the above, we hate you all" parties (one of whom, uniquely among them, actually turns up and chats to them about local issues) is, I think, beginning to depress enthusiasm for them

I'm campaigning for the Greens in a typical Reform target area - largely white, deindustrialised, quite high on deprivation indices, flaggy etc - and conversations I've been having often give a sense that the essential thinness of Reform's offer is becoming more apparent

mate what are you doing

The decision to repeatedly deploy 250+ cops armed with PAVA spray, tasers, batons, horses, and dogs to force through a group of 30-40 fascists against hundreds of counterprotestors has to be understood not just as the cops "protecting" the fash but actively behaving as their enforcers.

One of the things I most resent about this is that I know it to be a deliberate strategy by Netanyahu, he does not want Jewish people to feel safe living outside Israel. And it’s working, global antisemitism is rising. The antisemites are making his point for him.

This is what happens if you hang out with the @nclgreenparty.bsky.social canvassing team in Walker

This is Henry Scampi. He came canvassing with @nclgreenparty.bsky.social this morning but he didn't knock on any doors cos he's a Lib Dem

Green Party Council Candidate Lacks Pride And Passion, Has Disrespected Late Lamented Tree, Probably Doesn't Even Cry When They Play 'Big River' At St James Park - the Times tomorrow

I'm always seeing stuff like this from lads who will cry and stamp their feet and make their lower lip go all wobbly if anyone brings up the human rights record of the absolutist petrostate that buys them fancy little football players for their fancy little football team

why do you hate the Greens so much Jonn

thing don't reach fruition the way they used to

Pesto and Balls' punk covers band feels like Mark Kermode's Gang of Four tribute act's Wario

First Labour party election leaflets have dropped in the West End, masterful stuff lads, cheers

60 million visits to a "rape academy" website telling blokes how to be a bunch of pelicots & the British columnist class are clutching their pearls that Lily-Mae has pierced her nose, gone on an anti genocide demo with her mates and is voting green

Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the asylum system "must be totally overhauled" so only those facing real personal persecution are granted asylum. Liberal Democrat immigration and asylum spokesman Will Forster said the BBC's findings were "abhorrent", adding: "We need an asylum system that is fair, controlled and efficient. Not the shambles the Conservatives left us with." Reform UK said that if the party wins power it would make facilitating a false asylum claim a "strict liability" criminal offence, meaning there would be no requirement to prove intent in prosecutions, which would be punishable by up to two years in jail. (Highlighted bit) However, the Green Party said the BBC's reporting "gives an entirely false impression of a system which is, in reality, stacked against people seeking asylum" and heightened "the hostile environment" facing this group.

Rarely prouder to be a Green
