If you are within range of Newcastle then you might want to attend our launch of the UK Index of Systemic Trends, laying out why Britain is Broken by the numbers @HowardRReed @nmcinroy @NatashaJosette and Sally Young. Info from @JoanaRamiroUK @MrBenSellers https://t.co/3tGoNibXCw

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Our firefighters stand with trans people

[Joe Guinan @joecguinan]

They are all VERY in favour of redistribution—upwards! https://t.co/EzNnJfJwyn

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Great to have @cenkuygur join us on @novaramedia tonight.

Mr Prime Minister, you are making this country a laughing stock! @Keir_Starmer

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It's not going to work.

They have deep pockets.

We have people power and a plan to change our country.

[Daniela Gabor @DanielaGabor]

The @TheGreenParty @ZackPolanski should also ask how Peter Mandelson arranged for UK to join Trump's Pax Silica, a project explicitly pursuing US AI supremacy with lock-ins and dependencies that will be hard to unravel.

You are going to want to read this—which can be read as the @DemocracyCollab’s answer to the superficialities of the UK political and media debate and the bromides being peddled by Blair, Starmer, Streeting and Burnham.

[Howard Reed @HowardRReed]

Really pleased to have worked on this!

[Democracy Collaborative @DemocracyCollab]

Today we publish our first ever UK edition of the Index of Systemic Trends. The Index is a databank of indicators that serves as a dashboard on the overall health and direction of travel of the political economy of the United Kingdom. It can be found here: https://t.co/7p8pcSHRKc

[Joe Guinan @joecguinan]

Starmer will end up like some Gabriel Garcia Marquez character, figuratively and literally barricaded in Downing Street, equal parts despised and forgotten, walking the empty corridors until Burnham’s people finally come for him. A fitting end for a truly contemptible politician.

[Howard Reed @HowardRReed]

@joecguinan The level of brain death in the centre-right political commentariat is terrifying. It’s like The Walking Dead for journalists.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

If you recall, Blair’s attack on Jeremy Corbyn was one of the decisive factors that secured the scale of his victory in the first leadership campaign.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Tony Blair.

What the billionaire class have paid for.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

A Labour minister unable to condemn Reform's plan for the mass deportations of our neighbours.

Cowardly and disgraceful.

Labour are incapable of standing up to Reform's divisive nonsense. Only the Green Party have the courage to do this.

[Howard Reed @HowardRReed]

@joecguinan @CarlDoran13 @IsabellaMWeber Agreed. Also “the left” can’t offer “a unified alternative” if one if the participants isn’t actually “left”. Is Andy Burnham left? I think the jury’s still out on that.

[Georgina Hollifield 💚 @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3]

On Makerfield

Myself and 75 other Green Party members have written a response

[Eleanora Ní Chualáın 🇮🇪 @EleanoraStats]

"Waitrose faction" goes hard

[Georgina Hollifield 💚 @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3]

I say we, the wider membership, pen an open letter urging the party not to stand aside. Who would sign?

We must make opposition to neoliberalism a core value of Green Party if we are to have any chance at wider success long term

[Jenny Jones @GreenJennyJones]

There are lots of 'ifs' about the return of Andy Burnham to the HoC and people saying we Greens should stand aside and let him take the seat.
Personally, I'll support whatever the local party decides to do, but my instinct is *always* to stand so that voters have a proper choice.

[Jenny Jones @GreenJennyJones]

We most definitely should not stand down! We used to do that and the environmental agenda never benefitted.
