Why is mainstream media belittling the performance of the Greens & Zack Polanski at the Holborn & St Pancras bye election? The Green vote increased by 315% Labours fell by 7.7% But don't let the facts get in the way of another media pile on against Zack Polanski and the Green Party. Pathetic.

Three years on, we remember the horrific events of October 7 and the wave of destruction in Gaza that has followed it. We call today, and every day, for an end to the violence, for peace and safety for all.

Nice to see HM Gov thinking of adopting Green Party policy to stop giving 10s of Billions of ££, every year, to highly profitable banks for basically........ Nothing. There must be other ways to control inflation other than forcing everyone to give "loadsa money" to Bankers.

1/ I asked Gemini AI, “was the footage of Ian Dale in the Reform party political broadcast yesterday simply footage added in from news reports or did he actually do it for Reform?” Gemini said he willingly participated because it was a cross party tribute to a close friend rather than a Reform PPB.

If you use transphobia as a benchmark to evaluate leadership, governance, grasp of well formed evidence based science and law, and outcomes you can tell the Labour govt are duds. Transphobia is the most uncannily accurate predictor of someone being a gormless incompetent I've ever encountered.

If we're serious about renewables and storage we'd make it income tax deductible for retrofits and not just temporarily VAT free. And we'd link installing A/C to installing or having solar panels where it's possible, and stop building buildings where it's not.

Gender Identity is innate and immutable. Why does this draft "banning" conversion therapy not acknowledge this? It mentions Gender Identity nowhere. Because it's been written to appease fanatics who wish trans people didn't exist. The draft is a conversion practice itself & must be rejected.

Romyisagirlsname @piquedpoppy.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
A transsexual does not have a "transgender identity". It's gobbledegook. A trans woman has the gender identity of a woman, just like a cisgendered woman has. The same goes for trans men obviously. The draft conversion therapy ban is up to something, and it is not about protecting trans people.
