Woke old bloke. Interested in politics. Terrified of big companies putting profits before people. Re-tweeting doesn't imply endorsement.

Our two Labour Governments are creating tens of thousands of jobs and lifting nearly 70,000 children out of poverty across Wales. Plaid Cymru’s plans would take us backwards, raising taxes and cutting child poverty budgets. Vote @WelshLabour on Thursday 7th May🌹

Exclusive: Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be a spokesman for the British Red Cross while crowdfunding his campaign for deputy leader of the Green Party, @JamesSBeal reveals The Times has uncovered disputed claims among the past experiences listed on his former website and independent promotional pages They include his repeated assertion to have acted as a “spokesperson” for the British Red Cross, which he put on his site and two donation pages while running for deputy leader in 2022. He said he was "really proud of the work we do" The British Red Cross told The Times that Polanski “has not been a spokesperson” and said it had raised the claim with the politician’s team In response, the Green Party said Polanski had been a host “for several fundraisers for the British Red Cross” and had been on stage supporting their work thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Imagine being a scientist investigating vaccines in the U.S. After years of research and millions spent, your study is blocked from publication because your data doesn't support RFK's and the FDA's battle against vaccines. This is why people like me were forced to leave.

"It feels so un-British. When you govern, you govern for all. "Reform is saying: vote for us and we'll keep your area nice. The rest of you, go hang - you can have the immigrants." Emily and Jon react to Reform's policy prioritising migrant detention centres in Green seats.

Richard Tice is the 2nd richest MP in the House of Commons, only Rishi Sunak has more money than him. He runs a massive Landlord empire. He keeps his assets in a New Jersey Tax Haven and has dodged at least £600,000 in Corporation Tax Yet still claims to be a man of the people

Farage: "I've been the most physically attacked politician of modern times."

Politics In The U.K.@politixintheuk

Farage insists the £5m gift he received from a Thai crypto billionaire was legal, saying: “There is no obligation to declare something that is a non-political, personal gift, and it will ensure I can be safe for the rest of my life.”

This week on Nigel Farage's finances: his partner won't confirm how she paid for the £885,000 Clacton house he first said he'd bought. Last week: an undisclosed £5m gift from a crypto billionaire. Before that: 17 late declarations totalling £384,000. And a parliamentary standards investigation now open. Reform says it's all smears. Full story at the link below 👇

Statements that have now come to light from a handful of @TheGreenParty candidates are totally unacceptable & require immediate action. There’s no place for anti-semitism or any hate speech in the party. This is a society-wide problem & needs to be rooted out wherever it’s found

CNN montage of Trump saying he and private donors are going to pay for the ballroom, followed by clips of him lying about the cost: "$250 million... about $300 million... approximately 400 million." Now taxpayers are going to get a bill for $1 billion.

Pete Hegseth falsely testified to Congress last week that troops were deployed to polling locations in 15 states under Joe Biden. All 11 states that responded to inquiry reported that zero troops were sent to voting places in 2024.

Have you seen these Guardian reports of Farage's obscene racist language in the late 1990s? Most people are unaware of them, and I've found it very hard to get people to pay attention to them or share them. So if you see this please share the information. Being a racist was not a teenage phase Farage grew out of.

The Green Party can’t stand up to antisemitism and have no plan for our borders or defence. Nigel Farage takes £millions from a crypto exile in Thailand, and his party is a clear and present danger to the NHS. We’re getting on with the job.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer

Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch wanted to jump into the Iran war with both feet without thinking through the consequences. For a party that always does what’s right for Britain, vote Labour this Thursday.

In 2025/26, 4,766 new homes were built in Manchester. All on brownfield sites. 901 homes were affordable, with 439 for social rent, + 159 for Manchester Living Rent. Despite opposition to social housing from Greens and Lib Dems.🙄 500+ empty homes brought back into use too.🏡

Brexit has caused a 12% to 18% reduction in UK business investment and led to a loss of over £44 billion in public investment largely due to the UK leaving the European Investment Bank. By 2025 Brexit wiped 4% to 8% off the UK's real GDP resulting in a loss of over £100 billion.
