Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

Beautiful poem always, & beautifully delivered here, with such terrific images. You can have the World, but without hope you are lost. Equally you can virtually nothing except hope, and be quite happy. Hope itself is a great gift.

Reform’s racism runs deeper than its manifesto, they are really just saying the quiet part out loud now. Even TalkTV viewers were stunned

Won't hike taxes the rich or curb profiteering.

Never let anyone tell you that small acts of resistance don’t matter.
This is a remarkable story of 2 Irish women who stood up against injustice & stood tall. Their courage & defiance, for strangers they would never meet, is a reminder that even the smallest light can burn through the darkest times

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.
Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.
Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

The Economist has claimed Britain is trapped in a “debt doom loop.” But they’re wrong. The UK does not face a government debt crisis. What we really face is chronic underinvestment, inequality, and an elite media pushing austerity to protect the wealthy.
