Well that was fun! Very glad I was boring and organised enough to buy these after the last partial eclipse. They work really well…

A reminder of the outright lies that Keir Starmer told in order to con Labour Party members into voting for him as leader. Good riddance to a man who has been a shameful stain on politics...
Keir Starmer's ten pledges when he was running for Labour leader.

If everyone gets their act together, I do genuinely think Farage could end up losing to Count Binface. A lot of other people clearly agree. When I first checked the odds against Binface winning, I expected it to be something like 50-1 against. It's actually less than 4-1. Make it happen, Clacton!

Starmer’s pledges when he stood to be Labour leader: 'No more illegal wars' 'Defend migrants’ rights' 'Increase income tax for the top 5% of earners' 'Common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water' 'Abolish the House of Lords' ... Cynical lies, abandoned as soon as he won the leadership contest.

My prediction just before the last election... #Starmer

So many people fell for the narrative that Starmer won a landslide at the last election, when it was clear that it was only the unpopularity of the Tories and the absurdity of FPTP that led to his majority. I argued at the time that his victory was built on sand. I'm happy to have been proved right.

A piece of advice for Starmer. "If you don't like it, the door of Number 10 is open, and you can leave..."

Delighted to see that my fellow Green Party supporters clearly agreed with myself and Caroline Lucas and lent their votes to Andy Burnham on this one occasion. Now let's pull out all the stops to beat Labour and Reform and win the Manchester Mayoral election...

Yesterday, two men were convicted of the most horrendous crime imaginable – sexually abusing and murdering a baby. There were no riots in the street, no calls for 'pure cold rage' from Nigel Farage. The men were white. People like Farage do not care about women and children. It's pure cold racism.

Blimey! I know some people think Andy Burnham is more right wing than he claims to be - but that really would have been a shock move...

Ha ha! I have an irrational soft spot for Andy Burnham (especially if his commitment to introduce PR is genuine, which would be a game-changer) but this is fair comment...

That 17 minute meeting in full... "You're crap!" "Fight me then." "I will." "Go on then..." "I'll do it when I want to." "You're scared!" "No YOU'RE scared!" "Your Mum smells." "My Dad was a toolmaker." "Yeah, he made YOU!" "I'M seeing the King. So there..." (The grown-ups are in the room)

Just to be clear. Keir Starmer is not a decent man. He’s a vacuous, unprincipled liar, who claimed that Jeremy Corbyn was a friend of his when it suited his purposes, and then abandoned everything that he promised to stand for. A spineless chancer, played for a fool by a malevolent factional clique.

"I get it. Everything I've been doing is wrong. So now I'm going to do it faster. And make changes. Big changes. I get it. People want change. They want to change me for Andy. Or Angela. Or whoever comes next in the alphabet. I've listened. I get it. How did I do? Ask Mandelson..." #StarmerSpeech

Wow! Just looking back at some of my past predictions. This (from 2015) is interesting...
"I predict a new party will emerge on the left - and between them, the Greens and UKIP, Labour will be irrelevant in 20 years"

Excellent news from Lambeth! One of the most rotten, self-serving, arrogant Labour councils in the country has been ousted. Good riddance!

I posted this back in June 2024. I'd say that everything in it has turned out to be correct... #StarmerOut
When Starmer's Labour inevitably fails to deliver real change, the danger is that people will then turn to the far right. We need to build a left opposition, so that people have somewhere else to go. That battle starts now. Vote Green, Left Independent, SNP or PC. #DontVoteLabour

If you're against the establishment, vote for the party that the establishment hates! Reform is backed by billionaires, whereas the Green Party will tax billionaires' obscene wealth. That's why the establishment is so worried! #VoteGreen

Off to Easter Road for Hibs v Celtic. It’s going to be a bizarre atmosphere. Every Hibs fan wants a Celtic win to stop Hearts winning the league. One of my sons says that anyone who’s caught celebrating Hibs goals in the home end should be banned!

Great to hear Zack Polanski speak here in Lewisham after a morning out canvassing for the Green Party. Great response on the doorstep. There’s every chance the Greens could win this council from Labour. Over 3,000 members in Lewisham now!

The Met Police estimated that there were only 50,000 people on the Together Alliance March yesterday. They also estimate that the number for emergency services is 333.

This is massive! Caught up with the Green Party section of the march. The start of the march set off from Hyde Park Corner nearly two hours ago. This part of the march hasn’t even got to the starting point yet…

I hope that Labour are thoroughly ashamed of themselves this morning. They tried the same lie in Caerphilly where Plaid Cymru won. No one should believe these sort of claims ever again. Of course, what's really needed is PR, so that this ridiculous game playing stops. #MakeVotesMatter

It's 3.55. I'm awake again, and things are looking good for The Green Party! All the signs are that Hannah Spencer has won in #GortonAndDenton. A rejection of Reform - and a seismic result that should spell the end for Starmer...

I've joined the Green Party. I'm sick of Labour betraying everything they're meant to stand for. The Green Party is now a serious political force, and is the best chance of defeating Reform by offering a genuine alternative to the rotten politics of the mainstream parties. join.greenparty.org.uk
