Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting a CNN exchange. The text includes Blitzer asking about U.S. military losses if the war drags on, and Mullin responding that it is not a war and that the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Below is a CNN split-screen showing Wolf Blitzer on the left and Senator Markwayne Mullin on the right, with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner reading: “W: TRUMP SAYS NEW IRANIAN LEADERS ‘WANT TO TALK.’”
This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

Let's set the record straight!
@greenparty.org.uk had a resounding win in Gorton and Denton, since then the opposition parties sour with their defeat have gone into overdrive trying to throw shade. Instead of demonstrating decorum, they have tantrums

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
Poor Matt, delusional as always.
Wonder if he'd take a DNA test so we can find out just how English he really is?
Shocking failure by the BBC to challenge fascist comments from Guto Harri on Broadcasting House this morning
Democratic rights in the UK are based on citizenship not place of birth
And why only ask about people born in Pakistan? Many British voters were born in other countries
Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.
What did you think would happen?
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law
Israel has been on the path of fascism for some time now, why our governments in the west continue to support these genocidal psychopaths is the greatest question and disgusting shame. #GazaGenocide
HOPE VS HATE VOTE GREEN! Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
It's a two-horse race between the Green Party and Reform and every vote counts.
People of Gorton & Denton, you have until 10pm to vote Green and make hope normal again.
Do you ever get more than three hours sleep, Zack?
Take care, Peace & Happiness for the result.

Just finished at London City Hall asking the Mayor questions about Retrofit - lower carbon emissions, our bills and create loads of jobs!
And now I'm heading for a train to Manchester to go help get Hannah Spencer elected! 💚🚅

In the Holocaust, Jews faced a continuing series of laws forbidding them to do certain activities & occupations. The goal was to remove them from society. The US is now doing this to trans ppl. Generally, once one State brings in such laws, others follow.

Brilliant to be out knocking on doors in Gorton and Denton with a lovely group of volunteers; we have 75 more groups like this getting out the vote all across the constituency!
Just spoke to one voter whose daughter has made her own beautiful poster to show her support💚

'Gorton and Denton was built by all of us, and we all deserve to belong'
এই বৃহস্পতিবার শুধুমাত্র গ্রীন পার্টিকে ভোট দিয়েই রিফর্মের হিংসাত্মক রাজনীতিকে হারানো যেতে পারে।
Only a Green vote can defeat Reform's hate this Thursday.
Labour must search its conscience if Reform wins Gorton and Denton says green leader
This was a Guardian headline and then it came down for some reason?
Anyway - Vote Green 💚
This is Councillor Simon Evans, the Deputy Leader of Lancashire County Council, sharing a call for an Member of Parliament to be shot.
It's inciting terrorism. Reform must act, or they're complicit in this.

Obviously I can't vote in the Gorton and Denton by-election, but my support is 100% behind @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Hannah Spencer. The Labour Party are looking increasingly obsolete, and Reform have increasingly shown their true colours as the party of racist and misogynistic self-interest.
You mean people like me? Jewish and an Anti Zionist. I'm not anti Semitic, I am wholeheartedly Anti Zionist.
Given the huge concerns about children's safety online, it's crucial the govt acts with urgency, thoughtfulness, & care.
I abstained on today’s motion for this reason. It would have rushed through (as yet unpublished) legislation in one day, with no real opportunity for scrutiny or consultation.
Greens...
Anti Semites?
New one on me.
Anti Zionists...
Now, that I'll agree with.
There's a difference some folk need to learn.
I'm wondering if the film will acknowledge Maureen Sweeney at all.

Dear Gareth, Thank you for outlining the government’s policy. As a human rights lawyer, I am already very familiar with it. I would like you to ask the Minister to reject the EHRC draft Code of Practice, as it contradicts the government policy you have described and is unlawful. While that is my primary reason for writing, there is also an urgent matter arising. You stated that trans people remain entitled to protection from harassment. However, this is not the case in schools. Pupils have no redress under the Equality Act 2010 for harassment related to sexual orientation or gender reassignment. The Department for Education is now consulting on imposing a “bathroom bill” on the basis that no such redress exists. It is plainly sexual harassment and incompatible with Convention rights to personal development under Article 8. This is unacceptable, and I await your comments. Kind regards, Ash Lee
I wrote to my local Gareth Thomas MP @gareththomasmp.bsky.social again after getting a non-response.
The prosecution said Taylor had told his wife he would hunt her like prey and kill her, and that he would "put you in the boot and set fire to the car".
New law will 'criminalise lying' by senior ministers

Yeah but imagine the feeling getting a pint of beer for £6.95 rather than £7.00...thats the Reform promise, 5p off a pint and as you sip it down, you can relax in the knowledge that for every 1p saved, 100,000 kids will be hungrier, colder, more vulnerable and with a poorer outlook.
Votes matter.
Chuffed to be the most popular leader with young people!
Thanks, guys! 💚
