RT @PaulbernalUK: This is why all talk of clever tactics by Starmer over Brexit is facile. So long as he doesn’t face up to the elephant in the room, everyone suffers - and poor people, the people Labour should care about, suffer the most. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/02/brexit-poor-people-paying-eat-debate-human

RT @greenbenali: When we’ve only taken in 4 Afghan refugees via “official” routes - is it any wonder people are turning to crossing the English Channel?
We need proper safe and authorised routes

RT @LeftieStats: 🗳️ Could @TheGreenParty win a 2nd seat?
New boundaries created new seat of Bristol Central - even stronger for Greens than the old Bristol West.
In 2021 locals, Greens won Central by a 22pt margin and won 11 of 14 seats - coming within just 319 votes of winning *all the seats*.

RT @GreenPartyJack: Just your regular reminder that the Greens have had one appearance on BBC Question Time over the past year.
GB News’s Olivia Utley makes her third appearance in the last year this evening.
GB News has a much lower average viewership than the Green Party has members.

RT @PalmOilDetect: @whanethewhip @MagdaBotho @Frentzhart2 @BoycottPalmOil @PeterFrankish Well done to #BoycottNestle @Nestle. They are in a @Global_Witness report linked to #deforestation & #humanrights abuses in the #Amazon - both @Nestle and their #palmoil supplier in #Brazil @Agropalmaemrede are @RSPOtweets members. "Sustainable" palm oil is #greenwashing

@simoncosgrove My experience suggests that there are huge numbers of former Conservative voters who have no idea what to do, and have decided they can't vote. Nothing you can say will induce them to look at any other party as a possible choice because their entire sense of self is threatened.

RT @bristol_pip: Great speech!! @TheGreenParty supports the Unions and we will happily come to picket lines to support workers in their action for better pay and conditions. @GreenPartyTU is our Union group if anyone wants to get involved.

What "illegal protests"?
The right to peaceful protest is a key part of democracy. Protesting is important when we're ruled by liars and vandals.
I wonder why you don't like it, Sunak?
RT @RishiSunak: This afternoon I met police chiefs to make it clear that they have my full support in acting decisively to clamp down on illegal protests.
The public have had enough of this disruption and those breaking the law should expect to feel the full force of it.

@johnredwood There are people who will believe (and like) this because they want to believe it. Politicians who tell blatant lies to wind up misdirected hatred should be disqualified from standing for parliament.

When they talk about wanting #growth and full employment, they mean they want more #TrickleUp to fund their private jets and swimming pools.
When did you last see any benefit from economic growth?

Still?
Are you sure?
If she stole a bottle of water she would be.
But she can help herself £29,000,000 of my money?

RT @IainRobinson3: So I’ve worked every day this last month, including weekends and many evenings, because university workloads are unrealistically calculated. And here I am, once again, about to work on a day I’m not even paid for. This is why colleagues end up on long term sick leave.
