So long, and no thanks for all the fash!

Yesterday, two men were convicted of the most horrendous crime imaginable – sexually abusing and murdering a baby. No riots in the street. No calls for 'pure cold rage' from Farage. The men were white. People like Farage don't care about women and children. It's pure cold racism.

“Dear working class scum. If I keep pointing the finger at immigrants, I hope you won’t notice it’s me & my billionaire chums who are really to blame for your living standards going down. Keep fighting amongst yourselves, plebs. Let me & my pals enjoy our privileged lives. Nige.”

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism.

Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place.

Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson - these men don't give a shit about this country, they want to rip us apart.

Already very annoyed by these FIFA idents coming up throughout. Piss off with your branding. It should be about football, not your stinking, corrupt organisation. Infantino belongs in football’s equivalent of The Hague. #MEXvRSA

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide.

The experts already have.

A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide.

Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

[Ally Fogg @AllyFogg]

It’s always reassuring to have it confirmed that all of our most cynical, paranoid suspicions about the Labour Party are in fact entirely correct and justified.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

Now that the United States has lost the Iran war, it's time to shift focus to preparing for the invasion of Cuba.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Can you please answer the questions about this?

The Labour MP Luke Akehurst spread conspiracy theories about Israel's war crimes.

He falsely claimed Saleh al-Jafarawi was an actor, and suggested footage of a hospital attacked by Israel could be fake.

Why the silence?

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Gentle reminder - the government could make our lives better by:

🏡 Introducing rent controls
💷 Introducing a wealth tax
💧Bringing water back into public ownership

You know who is advocating for this? Us.
Join the Green Party today 💚

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Yes, you should and must question authority!

Yes there are cover-ups and conspiracies!

The problem is a default conspiracist outlook.

e.g. thinking an attack on ambulances must be a false flag, without any evidence

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Greens' membership has exploded in size in a very short space of time.

But they desperately need to prioritise sorting out their vetting.

The other thing is that we need to deal with conspiracist thinking on the left.

It's not socialism and leads to very dark places.

[Pete Sinclair @pete_sinclair]

And if THAT doesn't stop Andy Burnham winning, nothing will...

A born winner, ten years apart.

Congratulations, @jmcginn7! 💚🏆

[Will Mellor @Mellor76]

It’s my fuckin wife and children in the Advert!!!?!??
What are you talking about!???

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Deeply alarming.

Josh Simons is a Morgan McSweeney sidekick.

He ran Labour Together - whose purpose was to crush the left.

There he led a smear campaign against journalists investigating its funding.

Ignore this now, regret it later!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

According to a recent New York Times poll, 57% of Americans oppose the U.S. providing more economic and military support to Israel, while just 37% support.

Congress should listen to the American people. No more blank checks for war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu.

[Ally Fogg @AllyFogg]

Lot of people from elsewhere seem to think that because Greens won Gorton & Denton we can win Makerfield or get close. Makerfield is not like G&D but culturally & politically it is quite like Denton. So let’s talk about *just* Denton. >
