Well said Dale!

This lot are trying to normalise racism.

But that’s not the Britain I know... and our Giga Poll of 45k shows that. Diversity is its strength, not something to fear or smear. Some people, desperate for power, will say anything.

It's 2025, in a so-called nation of animal lovers, & yet in the UK, 7 million hens are still trapped in cages every year.

It's time to end cages for ALL UK hens once & for all.

Please join us in urging the UK Government to #EndTheCageAge ➡️ https://t.co/rD5FVUJBiU

Go @ZackPolanski ! Speaking truth to power and thank you for mentioning Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem and for your forthcoming visit to Handsworth on #BBCQT @bbcquestiontime

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Zack Polanski, "I hear your anger. And I think you're right to be angry. I think we should all be angry when we've had 14 years of Conservative austerity that shut our libraries, shut our community centres, and then to say integration is a problem?"

"How do you expect people to integrate when you've taken away their services?"

"We need to make sure that all politicians are speaking about migration in a positive sense"

"Of course there will be people who have problems with migration. But their problems are, they can't get a dentist appointment; they're not enough council homes; because we've not invested in our communities"

"But none of these are problems of a black face"

"These are the problems of multimillionaires and billionaires, and politicians who haven't taxed them properly"

"We can change that"

"They're all political choices. Let's make different political choices"

[Martin Gould @MartinVGould]

A striking quote in Bloomberg from the president of the World’s Poultry Science Association, an industry group, about modern meat chickens:

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“I’m an immigrant. I was born in India.”

Joanna Lumley says people are not “not thinking straight” by trying to build walls to “block people out” and instead we should strive to make the world safe to live in again.

[Plant Based News @PlantBasedNews]

And yet every person you speak to says they don't really eat meat and only buy from local and 'ethical' sources. That math just isn't mathing 🤨

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @ZackPolanski on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

"...in just 11 extreme weather incidences... more than 50 million people have been impacted & nearly 15 million farmed animals killed. Many of the animals were left to drown in cages or suffocate in heatwaves."

"To the animals who didn’t have a good life, or any life, we are sorry. To the animals that are left, we will do better." - Our Visionary Dr Clive Phillips launched his book 'Towards an Ethical Approach to Animals' last week, in London.

Climate disasters are devastating animals, people & the planet we all share. As #BonnClimateConference shapes priorities for #COP30, we must shift to humane, nature-friendly farming.
