Jewish MP Gerald Kaufmann in Parliament in 2009. "My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead." "My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."

Jonathan Porritt has been arrested. As he says "trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

Alarm at NHS England as patient records put under control of US private equity firm TPG via a takeover. Business model is profiteering, not care for patients. Regulatory/Govt silence on expansion of private equity. Public money fuelling PE growth.

Tinkering around the edges doesn’t meet the crises of our age: affordability, inequality and climate. We need rent controls, wealth taxes and real action on climate. Only the Greens are free of the vested interests to meet this challenge. inews.co.uk/opinion/zack...

Sir David Attenborough is a national hero 💚🌍 To celebrate his 100th birthday and all he’s done to inspire us to protect our planet, he should be honored with a permanent statue. Agree? Join me by signing @JohannaBaxter MP’s petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

As spring arrives the temptation to cut your grass & rid yourself of dandelions may be appealing. Don't. Dandelions are tbe first available food for your local bee population. If you want an abundant garden you need your growing partners to be fueled up & ready to do their part help. Let it grow

Donald Trump paused his wartime cabinet meeting for a critical discussion ... about Sharpies?

Israel knows, at some buried but irrepressible level, that it was founded on the destruction of another people, on expulsion, massacre and erasure. A state built on the ruins of Palestine cannot indefinitely silence the history beneath it.

Cyril Connolly said the pram in the hall is enemy of promise. However, reading the brilliant After The Party by his daughter Cressida, I realise it can also be the beginning of promise.

Dear Europe, Please help me to unshit myself. In return, I will harm your economy with tariffs, and insult your leaders, your cultures, and your military. Kind regards, A very stable genius

Sure. Lift tariffs. Pay back every single penny. Lift the illegal embargo on Cuba. Enforce UN resolutions on Israel. Prosecute those responsible for the unlawful attack on Venezuela. Withdraw threats on Greenland. Support Ukraine. And then, sure. We'll consider helping.

A KC who represented victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal in the public inquiry has quit her post on the Legal Services Board to fight justice secretary David Lammy's plans to restrict the right to a jury trial www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/kc-quit...

📕It's world book day! So how does favourite children's book vary by voting intention. Despite having been dragged into the culture wars, Paddington is top choice of Tory and Reform voters, for Labour voters it's the Snowman while Winne-the-Pooh comes out on top with Green voters

Are you watching Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

I can hear the developers saying "Every post is a draft until you press Post -- why do we need a separate button?" But being able to stash something away and think about it for a while before posting should, in theory, reduce the amount of shit polluting our little corner of cyberspace. We'll see.

Is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

Donald J. Trump is inciting Insurrection. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Please share. 💔

It's time for British voters to reject extremists like Farage, who hate this country, and embrace patriotic serious leaders like Zack Polanski.

But it was the argument the US gun lobby used to justify the endless school shootings… The deaths of children are a price we must pay for a citizenry armed to oppose an authoritarian tyranny, That’s what the lobby said. Is it now saying the deaths of all those countless children were for nothing?

A real shame if this photo went viral again today.

When the interior ministry declares its militia to be above the law in terms that equate dissent with treason there really isn’t any question of whether or not we are looking at an authoritarian regime.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

I've seldom felt compelled to block people on BlueSky. But the hunger strike has mobilised some people's worst instincts: "Let them die! It's all their fault!" etc etc. It appears to trigger a deep, and deeply disturbing, inhumanity. I must have blocked 20 of them by now.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

"Disappointing Number Of Deaths in the Deadliest Place On Earth", writes the Telegraph

The central tenet of the US gun lobby is that citizens must have the right to bear arms as the ultimate safeguard against an authoritarianism government. So, where are you, guys? Or was that another made-up reason to keep the bucks rolling in for the gun industry?

Perfect

Daffodils are in the shops again. They are £1 a bunch. They are always £1 a bunch. They have been £1 a bunch for years, and the bunches don't seem to be getting any smaller. Does inflation not exist in flowerland?

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

Make this go viral. Labour MP Louise Haigh.

A reminder that Kemi Badenoch wants to create a UK “Removals Force” explicitly modelled on ICE

Make it viral.

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA
