🚨BREAKING

Green Party calls for Thames Water and South East Water to be taken into public ownership WITHOUT COMPENSATION by Christmas

Thames Water is insolvent, and South East Water has repeatedly failed to supply water to thousands of homes

This is wonderful from the Greens

Greens have set the political agenda this year, and we'll continue to push Labour to cut people's bills and protect our planet.

Here's me speaking to the News Agents about the Green Party's influence on Labour over the past year.

Putin puppet Trump diverts $52 million of Congress-mandated aid for Ukrainian defenders to authoritarian regimes in Latin America.

Trump serves the russian terrorist state, not Americans.

Privatisation of water has been an absolutely unmitigated disaster. The Green Party would put water back into public hands and reverse years of radical underinvestment.

".. the argument starts to become whether you will split the progressive vote.."

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I don't think you can describe Labour as a progressive vote. They are still arresting pensioners for holding carboard signs saying 'I support Palestine Action'" 🎯

Miliband: "To the millions in this country.. who have been moved & outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people, we hear you. You were right"

So scrap the proscription of Palestine Action. End all arms exports to Israel. Impose sanctions on the Israeli govt & economy.

Poland had some wise words, for Russia.

They can puff out their chests all they like, they can keep killing... But this Polish Foreign Minister is 💯 correct.

They will never win.

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time

It's an out-and-out lie

But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀

*They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻

In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄

Palantir should not be operating in the UK, and they should certainly not be allowed to hire Lord Tom Watson who has privileged access to sensitive information.

It shouldn't even be a question, Tom Watson should be removed from the Lords today.

The cricketers were "wrongly targeted," imply that if they were asylum seekers they would have been ..."correctly targeted?"

You cannot give an inch to these racists and Fascists.
