"Forced" here meaning "paid tens of thousands of pounds". The £25,000 figure for Angela is from a long time ago. Who knows how much she's pocketed since then?
@cavskermit.bsky.social: "I see leftists in the replies asking for receipts, and I got nothing, so I'm going to keep quiet, pretend that I've got [nonexistent] evidence, and claim the moral high ground."
Reminder: It was @lucympowell.bsky.social who told us "Only Labour can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton", and who wrote a taunting letter to @zackpolanski.bsky.social, telling him that the Green candidate (Hannah Spencer - @greenpartyhan.bsky.social) didn't stand a chance. So, trust her judgement!🙃
TA asks "AITA?" on Reddit, hoping replies will be "Hell no, man! You were being a good dad, bonding with your son, when your wife was inappropriately harsh with him. And WHY did she make you wait for the tow truck... or ask him to apologise?! Uncomfortable for you & your boy!" Spoiler: they weren't
Virtually every MSM opinion piece on "Why Starmer is so hated" completely omits to mention that he actively collaborated in a genocide, breaking International Law to do so. And how few cite the criminalisation of peaceful protest, the threat of restricting trial-by-jury, or attacks on trans rights?
@dhothersall.bsky.social doesn't want to hear the truth when it contradicts his view that Keir Starmer isn't a lying scoundrel who did irreparable damage to the Labour Party, the UK, and International Law.
WHAT?! The Labour candidate in a recent by-election wins by an impressive majority (including significant votes from Greens and Lib Dems) and this sock puppet decides to RESIGN! Why didn't he resign after the drubbings which Labour got in G & D, Senedd, Holyrood, & local councils? He LIKES losing?
More trees, fountains, splash pads, spray units, and wading pools in the city! Also, some cities have been experimenting with near-white road surfaces, which don't hold the heat as much as black tarmac.
Add to the consideration the fact that (despite your own indifference👇 - or are you positively pro-Israel?), for many Greens, support for genocide is a red line. If the Greens entered a coalition with a Labour Party led by the current leadership, they would probably lose half of their members.
She lied on behalf of child-slaughtering psychopaths in order to "justify" her "unwavering support" for a genocide. Partly because she's a lifelong Zionist, partly because pro-genocide lobbies have paid her more than 7 times her complete 8-year federal salary. You want to call that morality?!
Please don't delete your post! (I've linked to it elsewhere and guess that others have, as well.) But copying the text from an on-line text reader resulted in a dog's dinner of ALT text, unintelligible for sight-impaired people.) Its message is so important that I took the trouble to unscramble it👇
@morgil99.bsky.social, Harris aides told her that she'd lose unless she changed her stance on 🇮🇱. A post-election autopsy commissioned by the DNC found that she lost because she didn't change her stance on 🇮🇱. She refused to change her stance on Israel. She ran a shit/STUPID campaign. But you do you
@bead70.bsky.social (Steven Chalk): "We’re livid with Labour but still" going to try and convince progressives to vote for a very flawed Labour candidate (who's shown that he's Starmer 2.0 with a Mancunian accent), instead of Sarah Wakefield (Greens), the real Progressive in this by-election.
A reminder of policies that are UNPOPULAR with Labour politicians: 💰 wealth taxes 🏠 public ownership of energy, water, rail & mail 📈 increased investment in our public services 🍽️ universal free school meals We need a REAL alternative. Donor-subservient Labour MPs won't deliver it. #VoteGreen💚
Pick a Bond from the photos you already have on your phone
She threw trans people under the bus; as AG of California sent people to prison FOR LIFE for 3x smoking weed (a "crime" which she, herself, committed); lied about Biden's mental state, repeated long-debunked Israeli lies to "justify" her UNWAVERING support for psychopaths. Preferred 🇮🇱 over winning.
Has anybody else noticed (in the aftermath of the local elections) just how *many* politicians of other parties are using the word "hope"?! Much as they revile @zackpolanski.bsky.social and try to smear & ridicule him, they must think he's onto a good thing with his "Make hope normal again" slogan.
What a BLOODY stupid thing to say! 1) Show me a politician who doesn't want anyone to pay attention to what they have to say, and I'll show you a waste of space. 2) Zack is being subjected to multiple vile, distorted attacks. Should he not defend himself nor thank those who come to his defence?!
@sarahsackman.bsky.social: Liberals & Leftists have more positive attitudes towards Jewish people than supporters of your own party (which refuses to recognise the difference between antisemitism & anti-GENOCIDE. Maybe if your gov't didn't support psychopathic 🇮🇱, there'd be less antisemitism in 🇬🇧?

bsky.app/profile/grum... Reminder that Starmer became PM only because people were desperate to get the Tories out. At the time, "a vote for Greens lets Tories win" sounded almost quite sensible. Many who voted Labour in 2024 now swear that they'll never again do so. Now the alternative IS viable!
Your screenshot inspired me to do some wider research. (Gist of my quote-repost of my quote-repost of your post.) Reminder: many people didn't vote FOR Labour in 2024, they voted AGAINST the Tories. Today, many swear that they'll never vote Labour again.
As we're coming up to the 7th of May local elections (selected councils, Scottish Parliament, & the Senedd), here's a Blast From The Past. #GreenMenace #MakeHopeNormalAgain! #VoteGreen,GetGreen!
The very few Harris policies (e.g. abortion rights, equality) with which I agree are ones she wouldn't have fought for if POTUS. Take A Woman's Right To Choose. Dems have been using this as a sure-fire vote catcher & donations magnet for DECADES. Prefer it as a campaign issue over codifying Roe. 🤬🤬
I was worried about you. So glad you're back! 🤗
Agreed! Also because he wanted to boost 🇬🇧 weapons sales; take part in a Western geopolitical bid for control of the Middle East; cosy up to 🇺🇸; among other reasons - NONE of which was fear of being labelled antisemitic! At a time when more & more people are agreeing "Zionism=racism", he's a Zionist
When Dems nominate someone who agrees 90% with the people, the people will probably vote for them. But if 30% of their campaign is the unconditional supply of weapons to psychopathic butchers of children, that's a red line. Dem elite just don't understand that... and it's so simple!
Nandy must know of many things which "bring joy to a lot of [certain types of] people". When will she speak up for Fox hunting Cruelty to other animals Smoking Heroin Sniping at Palestinian children* Beating up wives & children? * I realise that this is something else that she & her party support👇
