The Tories, Reform and Labour need to stop using disabled and vulnerable people as economic scapegoats. They need to go for the billionaires and multi millionaires and make them pay their fair share of tax. Going for Britain's most vulnerable people is a cowardly act and should be seen as criminal.

"Mencap, Mind and the National Autistic Society warn could lead to β€œthe biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation”." This is all deeply worrying especially in context of so much care now provided by private for profit companies rather than safe, appropriate and compassion driven care.

6.1 million people across the UK are living in fuel poverty. Meanwhile BP are doubling their profits during the energy crisis. Pleased to see the Mayor agree with my call to keep the energy cap in place. We have to lower people's bills.

While all eyes are on Farage, we're overlooking something even worse: the building of the very tight and truly vile operation that is Restore Britain. This excellent essay/report by Simon Pearson should wake us up to the threat - and to what exactly it is. simonpearson1.substack.com/p/tory-30

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets Β£5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Where’s the fury about rightwing antisemitism? The newspapers that call out leftwing antisemitism publish antisemitic cartoons and champion politicians with a record of antisemitic statements. So who is holding *them* to account? This week’s column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comNo one should get a free pass on antisemitism – so why does the right?There is legitimate scrutiny of antisemitism on the left, but at the same time, rightwing media outlets offend with impunity. That makes no sense, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Add to this the end of persecuting disabled and vulnerable people, plus better rules regarding climate and nature recovery, and we are getting somewhere at last. The Green Party are the only ones actually calling for changes that benefit all people and our planet. πŸ’šπŸŒ

A toxic combination of low wages and high bills is crushing this country. Today is Starmer's last chance to set out a plan that will end Rip-Off Britain: rent controls, nationalising water, freezing energy prices, and taxing wealth. No more half measures.

Excellent news. But we need to do better. Our biggest challenge is misinformation. This I feel, needs to be one of our main focal points. Making sure people really understand what open borders, decriminalising drugs and other Green policies mean. KEEP GOING. STAY GREEN.πŸ’š

The Greens win our first ever directly elected Mayor - a huge historic victory! Huge congratulations to ZoΓ« and the entire team. Two party politics isn't dying. It's dead and it's buried. And we're making hope normal again.

Misinformation is the main problem that needs addressing. More focus and energy must be put into correcting misinformation, but not just on the Green pages and accounts. It's what I have been doing. Copy and paste from the Green manifesto to correct wherever possible. STAY GREEN. KEEP GOING. πŸ™πŸ’š

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

We have to stand up together. There are so many signs of fascism out there, against people of colour, religions, refugees and immigrants, disabled and vulnerable people. They complain when we call them Nazis. Then maybe their supporters need to attend a evening class on Nazi Germany 1930-45. πŸ™πŸ’š

Politicians and their media friends are panicking. They know we're coming to take back the power and wealth they've bled from us over decades. All my life they've sucked the life out of our schools, our NHS, our utilities, everything, just to get richer. Let's build something better. Vote Green

The first question we should ask ourselves in these and all other elections is: Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote. Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.

How many politicians do you know who admit they made a mistake and apologise. They usually don't because they see it as weakness, when in reality it takes strength and courage. Farage and Johnson haven't apologised to the British people for the Brexit disaster. VOTE GREEN. πŸ’š

Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him. And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.
