“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇

In June 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, butchering 25,000 people, mostly civilians, bombing 13 hospitals.
Ronald Dahl wrote about it in 1983, condemning Israel’s Nazi tactics & racist savagery.
43 years later, the slaughter is being ramped up, the terrorists emboldened by US-backed impunity.
I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
1) Since Starmer became leader, Labour Party membership has dropped by over 50%. And falling.
2) since Zack Polanski became leader, GPEW membership has risen by over 200%. And climbing.
3) Now only 25,000 difference in membership numbers between them.

Trump is threatening to destroy Iran...
... While Keir Starmer is allowing him access to a US bomb depot in the UK countryside.

The US is an enemy of Europe
After the US brilliantly destroyed 100% of Iran's military capability, the remaining 0% seems to be putting up one hell of a fight.

UK disability benefit cuts
New applicants for the health top-up to Universal Credit
to receive half of the current rate whilst cost of living rises. Loss of £200+ a month.
If you lose your benefit and reapply, you get the lower rate.
Thousands will be pushed into poverty.
Cruel.

A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials.
As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation

BREAKING: Iran says regime change operation in US is well underway as a string of senior officials and military chiefs resign from their roles 👀
Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
Can you explain how the greens have "veered to the left"?
To the left from what?
I've supported them for decades because they are left wing.
This is Apartheid.
It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.
To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.
Massive props & thanks to Zack for continuing to speak up about the Gaza genocide & Israeli apartheid. This takes a huge amount of bravery bc as we've been seeing recently, it's coming at an increasing personal cost as the smears & attacks ramp up in the media
It would be so refreshing for the UK government to stop talking about a reset with the EU and ACTUALLY DO IT …. “PM says Iran war means UK needs 'closer co-operation' with EU - Sky News”
Labour is on track for its worst wipe-out in English local elections in half a century or more, according to Oxford professor Steve Fisher

Labour are cooked.
The big defining test of our time:
Do you think Palestinian life has equal worth?
Our politicians and media outlets don't even pretend to pass it.
If you’re not yet familiar with the governments shocking and shameful immigration plans which have sparked a revolt by more than 100 members of the parliamentary Labour Party - hold on to your seats
If it doesn't matter because they're making so much money, why are you giving them free money?
Like this one.
I don't understand why they do not think this reduces trust in politics.
I look at this and can only see a massive conflict of interest
"When politicians declare their interests, why do they think these businesses are paying them this money?
The public are very sick of being taken for fools.
If you’re taking money from a company, what are they getting out of it?"

Witnessing the rise of Nazis in Germany, Hannah Arendt said:
“The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture on the verge of descending into barbarism”.

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support.
