Grim. The rise of selfish politics. As is BadEnoch's ban on supporters of #netzero in the Tory party. And the fact that most hearing lots about the Tory conference will have forgotten about her blood tryst on NetZero and ECHR human rights. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Big thanks for this George. I am absolutely furious about this policy, as is a great friend and colleague in Weston who has also left the party because of this, as is Caroline Lucas, from what I can see, and many more. We absolutely must take a stand against this and roll it back.

For the sake of a slogan achieving nothing except great concern and distress to British Jews, Green members have probably destroyed any hope that a party - their party - which consistently and clearly opposes the #genocide will join the next government. Genius. 🤦‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The former. The Zionism is Racism policy aligns the party with Hamas, therefore potentially branding it terrorist sympathiser, it has alienated most British Jews, many Green Party members are now leaving the party, and so on. It is a despicable act branding all Israelis as racists.

The people supporting the Green Party's Zionism is Racism motion are ignoring the fact that less than 2000 party members voted for it and most are in fact aghast at the plan. They also give no fucks about winning elections. Not one jot. That's not ideal for a political party is it?

Badenoch breaking bad. First the Kremlin sanctioned them. Then Reform banned them. Now Badenoch’s Conservatives have barred Byline Times from their conference. Just 26 days earlier Badenoch condemned Reform’s press ban as “authoritarian”.

Most politicians are just crap ideologues, and discussion of them is usually just noise. Which is why I prefer discussing issues, not politicians.

Robin Whitlock @robinwhitlock66.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Agreed. A load of ideological bollox. Language studies, I'm sure I read this somewhere or maybe in psychology, indicate that "ma-ma" or "da-da" are among the first words learnt by babies. So, if true, this is just garbage.

UK political parties looking at those struggling & hahaha "let's kick the cunts" is basically the last 50 odd years of this country. And - weirdly/shockingly - everything is still just getting shiter. Christ how I hate Labour & Tories. If only fucking centrists could put two & two together.

Ridiculous. No party has ever managed to achieve full employment. There will always be some unemployment. The usual cruel Tory crackdown on welfare recipients as a pathetic attempt to claim, most likely meagre, voter attention.

In my opinion, this attitude is actually doing a lot of men a lot of harm. But, I've also been a bit of a wanderer, a hermit, a lone wolf, maybe even an oddball - but that's fine, I am used to it, it worries me not. I will say what I need to say, and worry about the consequences later. (4)
