Stuart Budd

Since we are leaving the EU.. 😢 I'm 'adopting' these brilliant MEPs until we are back. 😃 @samiraraf, Samira Rafaela @TerryReintke, Terry Reintke @M_Landieri, Maurizio Landieri @karmel80, Karen Melchior @katka_cseh, Katalin Cseh ❤️🇪🇺 twitter.com/GreensEFA/stat…

@iainmartin1 @BobBorsley @NickCohen4 @OvePM @thetimes Not sure about clever, more Brexitous patheticus 😂 There is something quite pathetic about backing a project just as the world changed and then not having the balls to admit it. Still, at least you have found a similarily obnoxious friend in Paul Ovenden.

@BobBorsley @NickCohen4 @OvePM @thetimes We’re certainly not any more clever. Just different in terms of history and geography - you sound like you have a narrow parochial view. You should broaden your mind a bit, if feasible.

Harsh reality of Iran war a wake up call for Britain. What a brilliant piece by @OvePM⁩ in ⁦@thetimes⁩ thetimes.com/article/b6cb90…

Why can’t our PM speak out like this? The public would welcome such moral clarity.

@CHOPPERalcock @ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K No, messaging is important here. It is nothing to do with a "win from the centre" or copying Reform / Labour It is about messaging and addressing issues that people have - within your own values.

@StuartBudd1 @ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K You're falling into the same old "you can only win from the centre" trap. Labour have shown that tactic delivers diminishing returns.

I know a lot of Greens are going to this. Do not. If you wish to stop the far right then we ensure they have such a small vote share in the elections. Go door knocking, the march will not be heard nor reported on.

@CHOPPERalcock @ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K There is not enough seats that cover 'people on the left', without taking Reform votes. Labour + Green + LibDems = 241 Reform + Tories = 319 319 = right to form a minority government x.com/LeftieStats/st…

@StuartBudd1 @ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K Yeah, that's certainly not the kind of person we should be pandering to, and I don't think we should be too concerned if they're turned off by marches. There's far more to be gained by winning over people on the left who've had enough of that kind of centrist triangulation.

@campbellclaret @mm_tw9 At the debate calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics and democracy, Dan Jarvis, the minister responding for the government strongly implied that the government could revisit the issue after Rycroft reported to the PM. Today, Rycroft reported to the PM.

@CHOPPERalcock @ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K Important thing is messaging while maintaining your values Green / Reform undecides is a thing New Green voter: "Pankhurst died for my vote, not sure about all the p**** coming here but maybe it’s not their fault and how can you have open borders anyway" joealextodd.substack.com/p/on-the-groun…

@StuartBudd1 @ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K If the Greens start chasing "Reform types" they're going to lose every bit of support they've gained over the last year. We don't want Labour 2.0.

I feel @DavidHenigUK 's frustration: seems UK is destined to continue withering away in "special relationship" or resurrected British empire delusions, behind its descending Gammon Curtain. All the good work in my lifetime of renewing itself as a leading player in the EU, trashed

@ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K Matching is a left wing thing Zoe It is like preaching to the converted The Greens need the votes of people who never go to marches and especially the Reform types.

@StuartBudd1 @Dannny_K There will probably be 100,000 members of the public (of which I also am believe it or not) at this march.

@Dannny_K You greens are getting serious Well done

@ZoeJardiniere @Dannny_K The Green is correct The march is for you and people like you Door knocking is for the public. Understand the difference.

@Dannny_K This is a bad take. This march is going to be v broad & big - it is intended to respond to Tommy Robinson’s ‘unite the kingdom’ rally & I believe it will be bigger than that was (with none of musk’s backing money) - an important symbol that love is stronger than hate in the UK

@CharlotDearling @Steven_Swinford @breeallegretti Explain why.

@Steven_Swinford @breeallegretti Thing is Angela, it’d be much worse with you at the helm, especially now.

Exclusive from @breeallegretti Angela Rayner compared Labour’s struggle on the doorsteps to its difficulties under Michael Foot as she warned of a loss of support from both the party’s working-class base and professionals In a leaked recording obtained by The Times, Rayner said at a fundraiser for a fellow MP in central London on Monday night: “I can say after ten years on the front line of politics, it’s not easy. At times, you get knocked around a lot, and I know that’s the case for many of the people here. “And if you’ve knocked on a door recently — or even in the Michael Foot days, as my ex-husband says to me — it was pretty bad then back in the day. But you do get people who will attack and criticise you.” She said that people feel the system is rigged against them “People voted for change when they voted for us, because they feel the system is rigged against them,” Rayner said. “They feel that nobody understands and cares about the difficulties they go through. “This isn’t just people who you would naturally associate with struggling, naturally associate with poverty. But these are professional people, people that are working really hard, people that have got two, three jobs, and they’re still not able to get to the end of the month with their wage packet. “They need to know they’ve got government on their side, and they’re impatient for change, and I understand their impatience. So I think we have to pick more fights personally.”

@IanMehrer @WilliamWeirFun @inthezoneuk @JonathanPieNews ...by making better choices... Instead of agreeing to 🇬🇧/🇺🇸 FTA that: Undercuts 🇬🇧 agriculture Lowers 🇬🇧 standards Makes 🇬🇧/🇪🇺 SPS agreement impossible They could have: Rejected the agreement Implemented inward goods checks Requested customs / EEA independent.co.uk/news/business/…

@WilliamWeirFun @inthezoneuk @JonathanPieNews How?

Matt Goodwin got absolutely dragged after appearing to use AI and ChatGPT in his new book thepoke.com/2026/03/24/mat…

I have made an interactive public version of this spreadsheet, with lists of known candidates for each party by constituency. There’s a worksheet on this file for each constituency. All data on it is provisional until 9 April. I’ll try to keep it up-to-date. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@stansmith1970 @WilliamWeirFun @IanMehrer @inthezoneuk @JonathanPieNews They refused to implement the Brexit agreement in full for citizens rights and inward checks, breaking WTO rules 🤷🏼‍♂️

@stansmith1970 @WilliamWeirFun @IanMehrer @inthezoneuk @JonathanPieNews They refuse to conduct realtime passenger checks on inward flights from the EU 🤷🏼‍♂️

@stansmith1970 @WilliamWeirFun @IanMehrer @inthezoneuk @JonathanPieNews They lied in their manifesto about delivering the recognition of qualifications.

@stansmith1970 @WilliamWeirFun @IanMehrer @inthezoneuk @JonathanPieNews They lied in their manifesto about delivering touring for bands.
