The worst bit of UK political twitter is the amount of libs posting slop like this jfc

@mimikkiki @rawergevad Idk if the austerity party wanna start talking about economic policy 💀 If you can't see that the last 16 years haven't been working, then you're too privileged to be talking about this

@itsbenthomson @rawergevad Oh I forgot the "genius" economic policy in which money is just an idea so they'll be doing the same thing as Labour rn(which is FAILING) and more extreme; excellent🤡 plus their great plan to quite literally crush our pitiful military spending and balkanise/destroy the country

My tierlist of british political parties x

@mimikkiki @rawergevad Use your words, what specifically do you disagree with with the migration policy. Decriminalisation + healthcare approach to drugs is a researched more effective model. Talking about denuclearisation is a basic moral principle. Nuclear power is fine, renewables are better

@itsbenthomson @rawergevad ????

@mimikkiki @rawergevad I agree with nuclear independence, both in weapons and power (I'd go even further with removing U.S corporate influence), but guess what.. "SENSIBLE" ISN'T POLICY, you can't just say nice comfy vague descriptors as a plan???? Also how are the greens more destructive than reform?

@itsbenthomson @rawergevad As opposed to fast-tracking our destruction???? And no, the libdems support us making our nukes independent(via industry ofc), sensible immigration rules, sensible everything really and they'd also want nuclear power.

@mimikkiki @rawergevad "Run the country decently", "hopefully unite & tidy" and "helping our economy grow" IS NOT POLICY! These are meaningless empty words with no substance, if you're saying you wanna just keep the status quo, just say that!

@rawergevad Run the country decently and hopefully unite&tidy the place up while controlling immigration and helping our economy grow strategically, plus making our nukes fully independent & continuing to invest in nuclear energy. Better than any of the other options, which isn't hard rn.

Despite claims that Greens are NIMBYs on housing, local authorities where the Green Party holds a majority build a lot more housing than any other.

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

Almost half of British people, and almost three quarters of Green voters, say that Israel treats the Palestinians like the Nazis treated the Jews. Only a small minority of people hold antisemitic beliefs, the lowest rate being among people who are more likely to be anti-Zionist.

Here's what Keir Starmer doesn't want you to know about the war on Iran.

while the us blockade against cuba is supposed to be invisible by design, these last 3 months of trumps vulgarity around the oil blockade has made its existence undeniable. i visited cuba to see how everyday life is impacted by 60 years of economic terrorism. minidoc out soon

🚨 NEW: Greater Manchester Police say they have found "no evidence" of family voting in the Gorton and Denton by-election

The Zack Polanski effect

Here’s Zack Polanski with Jeremy Corbyn last night, talking about the 2017 election, when Corbyn’s Labour got three million more votes than Starmer did in 2024.  If these two work together, I wonder what could be achieved at the next election. 👍

just two party leaders fighting over who hates the most vulnerable in our society the most, nothing to see here This shit is so depressing

Jeremy Corbyn with Zack Polanski at last nights Resistance is Existence event in London: “What we need now is for the left to come together.”🎯

🚨 The Jerusalem Post confirms: an American F-35 has been hit for the first time in history. Iran’s air defenses — which Trump said today were completely destroyed — just hit America’s most advanced stealth fighter. The F-35 costs $80 million per aircraft. It has never been hit in combat in its entire operational history. Until today. Trump said the defenses are destroyed. An F-35 got hit. Joe Kent confirmed there was no nuclear program worth stopping. Hegseth told his son they died to stop a nuclear Iran that didn’t exist. 14 Americans dead. $21 billion spent. Zero allied warships. Pearl Harbor invoked to Japan. And Iran just hit the plane we said they couldn’t touch. Never stop connecting the dots.
