An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

Join the campaign to evict Trump's military from airports owned by the Scottish Government: greens.scot/TrumpsTroops...

Our pressure is working! The First Minister confirmed today that he is actively considering this proposal.

The people who spent two years levelling Gaza would like you to know Iran is violating international law In a masterclass of humanitarian restraint that has now stretched into its third glorious year, Israel has continued to show the world how deeply it respects international law.

Many Americans will wake up to find the β€œpeace president” and head of a β€œBoard of Peace” has begun a war with a country that has not attacked the U.S.

U.S. troops are in danger, many feel unprepared and are afraid. But the world will be safer from…….

the Epstein files.

The United States and Israel just bombed schools and killed at least 50 children as part of an illegal war to destroy the Iranian nuclear programme that Trump claimed last June had already been completely destroyed.

The last time Iran attacked another country was 1856, it surprise attacked the British to drive them out.

But please tell use how a country that hasn't started a war for 170 years is dangerous.

But Israel and the US who have started half a dozen in one year aren't.

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.

It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.

Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.

Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.

Hannah Spencer & the Green Party HAVE WON in Gorton and Denton!! 😍

-Two party politics is dead

-The majority of people choose hope over division if the choice is clear

-The Greens can beat Reform in working class communities let down by Labour

-We can stop Farage being PM

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

The amount of joy and positivity in the U.K. this morning is wonderful. People voted for community, for inclusion, for collectivism and togetherness. This election has been a complete rejection of division, othering and nasty politics

So now that Hillary Clinton has testified to the Epstein Files, the other 900 hundred MEN named in the same files are being called up to testify, right?

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

Police willing to investigate Mandelson for anything but hanging out in a paedophile ring Police have assured our rulers that although they have arrested Peter Mandelson for a second time, they don't want to charge him with anything to do with Epstein's paedophile ring.

Starmer spied on journalists for the same reason we need online age checks: to save the children! Sir Keir Starmer has explained he hired an agency to spy on journalists and fabricate stories about them because it is the only way to keep children safe online.

So, is anyone in the Epstein files going to get arrested, or is nothing going to happen as usual?
