We must defeat the axis of authoritarian regimes threatening the free world.
Sheffield Green Party are unequivocal in our support for Palestinians facing genocide and apartheid.
We are proud to have proposed the first successful council motion in the UK calling for an immediate ceasefire & end to Israel's genocidal campaign in Palestine.
The cost of Crossrail "the Elizabeth Line" kept spiralling upwards during its construction. It's now set to break even next year. In the year and a bit since it opened, I have seen precisely 0 people argue that it shouldn't have been built.
the question for HS2 supporters has never been whether it’s a good or bad idea per se:
the real question - as the cost spiralled up and up - is this:
is there *any* price tag at which you would abandon the project, and if so where is that red line?
"Islands should belong to the nearest big country regardless of the wishes of their population" is a weird position for *checks notes* Sinn Féin to take.
Where bold Willie Bulfin wrote,
‘The Irish still support you, Argentina’,
With the Empire tumbling down, let no Paddies back the crown,
Las Islas Malvinas, Argentina
So Manchester gets improvements to ease its tight rail capacity cancelled, but a dual carriageway in the middle of nowhere in the South gets the go ahead, at more than twice the cost.
BREAKING: The Stonehenge tunnel is going ahead. The Transport Secretary has granted a Development Consent Order (DCO) to construct it. A DCO previously issued for the project was quashed by the High Court in July 2021 amid concern about the environmental impact.
Possible next president of Argentina, who just placed first in today's primary
- self-declared anarcho-capitalist
- loves Trump, endorsed by Bolsonaro
- has had controversies related to positions on selling children, organs
- massive Internet movement behind him
- beat all polls

Russia has been "up to bad things" for many years now. Just because yanks didn't notice it until last year doesn't mean it wasn't happening.
Here is the Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales welcoming NIP founder Philip Proudfoot into his party. They are fully a party of cranks now.

This is almost certainly more serious than we're being told.
Underrated kind of voter is one who tells you immediately that they've already voted LibDem, and then tells you which of their neighbours are not home.

Labour Vs Liberal Democrats:
Coincidentally, there are 67 seats where the Lib Dems are projected to finished ahead of Labour, who are projected to finish ahead in 564.
they found a new crab in the Caribbean Sea, and boy howdy are we in for some insane shit ahead as the oceans continue to get warmer due to climate change
Boris Johnson giving Tory MPs peerages to free up a safe seat, standing in the by-election, and then losing to the Liberal Democrats would be the perfect end to his political career.
UK, national parliament election: the final Liberal Democrat (LDEM-RE) seat tally of 72/650 seats is the party's best ever result since being founded in 1988.
Including their Liberal Party predecessor, this is the highest number of seats returned since 1923.
Special results

🚨 Interrupting the
#itvdebate
coverage to bring you a new video of Lib Dem leader Ed Davey...
He criticises the government in an undated video, saying: 'I'm not sure they'd know where their a****ole is'
Rishi Sunak was born in Southampton
Humza Yousaf was born in Rutherglen
Vaughan Gething's father was from Aberogwr
Sadiq Khan was born in Tooting
Leo Varadkar was born in Dublin
1. Official government accounts should not be tweeting propaganda for the governing party.
2. When polled, a majority of Scots want to keep the nuclear deterrant.
After independence, we would pursue the removal of nuclear weapons from Scotland as quickly and as safely as possible.
Scotland’s position would be similar to the approach of most NATO member countries, which neither possess nor host nuclear weapons.
My benchmarks:
<40 - disappointing night
40-49 - about expectations
50-62 - good night
63-69 - fantastic night
>=70 - absolutely unbelievable, knight ed again. sir sir ed davey
This is just the beginning of what UK Labour has unleashed. I am deeply saddened that the party I proudly represent has become less progressive than the Greens, the Lib Dems and the SNP. Trans people are not political footballs. We are human beings and deserve human rights!
