What I'd like to know is how many of them have done their volunteering work, speak perfect Spanish, and have passed their Life in Spain test.

If they can't come the legal way, they need to go back where they came from.

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.

The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.

Every week we’re proving it β€” through local victories, new councillors, and growing confidence across the country.

The message is clear: Greens can win here. Greens can win anywhere.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

My two stand-out highlights of Green Party conference were @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social's Deputy Leaders' speeches. Grounded, emotional, and inspiring.

The title of the motion was a headline grab. It's actual detail is a plan to minimise landlordism through a multi-pronged approach including property taxes and social housing.

Starmer put down his fork and asked what the meat was.
Mrs S: It's tofu, it's vegan.
S: And where's my razor?
Mrs S: Morgan says you should have designer stubble.
S: We're not moving to Hackney are we?
Mrs S: If it comes to it you might have to marry Morgan.
S: But we filled the house with flags!

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

Israel’s war on #Gaza has dragged on far too long. Over the past two years, Israeli forces have killed over 66,000 people, including 15 of our staff.

We call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire, an end to the siege and access for independent humanitarian aid at scale.

I'm really glad that the Green Party have caught up with the Labour Party on their excellent "No Landlordism" platform...of 1902. #gpconf

It's funny: the Green Party has always been this party but it's good to have people who are able to cut through, @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Strong, positive messages from @mothinali.bsky.social and @rachelmillward.bsky.social too. Thank you. The alternative is terrifying.
