Much of the media hate that the Green Party want to tax the super rich & stand up for peace around the world. They hate that we call out vast majority of media owned by a few billionaires who constantly distract. One of the best things you can do? Join.greenparty.org.uk
The witch hunt against Zack Polanski and those standing against apartheid is a TEST for Britain: a Corbyn moment or a Macklemore moment?

Andy Burnham has rejected Jeremy Corbyn’s call for an inquiry into Britain's involvement in the Gaza genocide. This crime defines our times. We deserve the truth about Britain’s role. More than 35,000 people have demanded an inquiry. Add your name: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

I can assure you my old man would have been raging against Israel's genocide of Palestinians and told you to fuck right off.

The second International Day of Action of Dockworkers, in solidarity with Palestine and against militarism, begins this Friday — and could be the largest worker action against war in history. jacobin.com/2026/10/dockwork…

This budget was a betrayal of our future; the Labour government chose protecting corporate profits over people and planet.

🇬🇧🇵🇸 British actor Simon Pegg highlights the devastating impact of the war on children in Gaza and calls on the public to support Palestine through donations "Gaza is still a nightmare for children. Many are so traumatized they can no longer eat, sleep or even speak."

Burnham has laid out a bold vision for Britain. Now, we must turn his vision into action. Socialists are already organising across our movement. But we need you. It’s time for a socialist Labour Party ready to deliver change. Join Labour. Join Momentum mtm.is/join

Israel going to the polls changes NOTHING for Palestinians. Western media treats the election as a contest between Netanyahu’s far-right coalition and a "moderate" opposition. In reality, the alternative to Netanyahu is an alliance of generals and hardliners who have driven the exact same machinery of violence and dispossession for decades: Gadi Eisenkot: The opposition frontrunner who formulated the Dahiya doctrine—mandating the deliberate, disproportionate destruction of civilian infrastructure. He sat in the war cabinet over Gaza and dismissed ICC war crimes investigations as "antisemitism." Yair Lapid: The supposed centrist whose stated principle is "maximum Jews on maximum land with minimum Palestinians." Avigdor Lieberman: Declared "there are no innocents in Gaza" while cutting off water, power, and food. Naftali Bennett: Boasted on record, "I have killed many Arabs in my life, and there is no problem with that." As Peter Oborne reports from the West Bank, an opposition victory might actually be far more dangerous internationally. It would provide Western allies with the diplomatic PR cover they crave to drop pressure, restore impunity, and pretend Israel is back to being a "rules-based democracy." Meanwhile, on the ground: State-armed settlers continue expelling Palestinian communities at gunpoint. Demolitions across East Jerusalem accelerate unabated. Human rights bodies document systemic, industrial torture across detention camps. The ballot box in Tel Aviv is not a choice between occupation and peace. It is a choice between overt extremism under Netanyahu and an internationally sanitized version of the exact same apartheid state under his rivals.

Just listen to this. Then consider these polls: 76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025) 82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025) 47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

Navi Pillay on #C4News: "The Genocide convention, which was passed in 1948, places a peremptory obligation on every state.. they are obliged to take action to prevent genocide wherever it is occurring or is about to happen.. its time now that they carry out these obligations"

Okay, I'm breaking character here. This is not a satire post. My 2-year-old son is in a wheelchair that we can't fit into our car. We are not eligible to apply for a wheelchair accessible vehicle until he is three--and even then we would have to pay about £13,000 towards it (which we don't have). The idea that disabled people get given free cars willy-nilly is bullshit. My son has to attend regular appointments at various locations. He has a team of specialists dedicated to helping him with an extremely rare neurological condition that means he needs around the clock supervision. He can't even hold his own head up so a regular car seat is out of the question. He was using a baby seat, but he's outgrown that. It's really tough for us to get around because misinformation from pricks like Nigel influences public opinion. Does this seem right?

Having made Ep 2 of the Labour Files I thought nothing could shock me but the crudeness of the media’s attempts to Corbyn Polanski is truly breathtaking. Let’s apply what might be called journalism to this Observer piece. Firstly – the headline claim – “membership plummets”. Apparently one local party (unnamed) has seen a two-point drop in membership since the Zionism is racism motion was passed. IF replicated nationally this would mean 4,400 people - less than 2% of the membership. You’ll not be startled to learn the Observer entirely omits one key stat from the Opinium poll, which can be found online. “Over half (56%) of current Green voters think the Green Party were right the pass the motion, while only 13% said they were wrong.” Most of the other stats involve comparisons with the unprecedented highs Polanski took the Greens to in the spring. At 9% the Greens are simply back to where they were the day Polanski became leader. Polanski has transformed the Green Party – quadrupling its membership to almost quarter of a million and placing it in a position where it was able to pressure the Labour Party into removing a sitting prime minister – a level of influence Green Party leaders of the past could only dream of. Polanski is being subjected to this level of vitriol precisely because he represents a threat in a way Caroline Lucas never did. Green voters and members now face a simple test. Do they trust their own eyes and ears – or do they do what the BBC, the Guardian and the Observer tell them to do. Since they did this to Corbyn tens of thousands of Palestinian children have been slaughtered. It has transformed the way potential Green voters see the world. In many cases that is why they have become Green voters. It’s astonishing the degree to which the political/media class remains trapped in the mind set of 2018. observer.co.uk/news/politics…
