This image showcases a striking long-exposure light painting of a woman standing in shallow water at sunset. A radiant halo of warm orange and red light surrounds her, with elegant light trails extending outward, resembling wings. The calm water reflects the mesmerizing colors, enhancing the dreamlike atmosphere. The dark silhouette of a tree in the background adds depth and contrast to the glowing scene, making it feel surreal and ethereal.

Great to hear London Labour MPs panicking about losing their seats to the Green Party.

For clarity, though - this goes way beyond just London.

Across England & Wales, we're saying lower bills, tax billionaires and we're ready to take on Reform.

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library.

300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive.

A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable.

Solidarity - and keep organising! ✊🏼

Labour were broken a long time ago.

Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.

A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

Time to make hope normal again.

Love that every time Labour make these crap attacks ads - the Green membership rockets up.

And indeed the Green Party overtook Labour in a poll so let's hope they keep it up!

He ditched the Green New Deal the moment he took power; invented 'grey belt' to build over green; slashed regs & fast-tracked Heathrow's 3rd runway: Keir Starmer is rattled, caught in a pincer movement between Left & Right with no one to blame but 'centrism' itself. He's coming for Zack. Personally.
A dishonest Labour Party social media advert (aren't they all) captioned 'Labour is delivering on making Britain a clean energy superpower...' with a picture of Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, clearly focusing heavily on his teeth, even though plausible deniability will be their defence when called out on this ("His teeth aren't our fault..." might be the line), because his teeth are the attack line de jour following an intervention by Right-wing TV pundit and professional sock-vomit Jeremy Clarkson last week. The advert also says: 'Their councillors block solar farms and clean energy infrastructure. Their leader is against nuclear energy. What's so Green about the Green Party?' The words 'block' & 'against' are highlighted in yellow, the word 'Green' is highlighted in green. All lettering is in shouty capitals. This line of attack shows three things: 1. Labour sees the reinvigorated Green Party, and so Zack Polanski personally, as a huge threat to their electoral chances because it campaigns from the Left; 2. The politics of personal attacks is fine by Starmer (as he has proven time and again, against Diane Abbot and Jeremy Corbyn for example); 3. The Labour Party is composed of lying, disingenuous little shits. My main post outlines just three of the inexcusably anti-environment policies Starmer has forced upon us which will set us back years, not to mention the insistence on a 'growth' economy on a finite planet in the throws of climate collapse. In the case of Heathrow expansion, Starmer overturned at a stroke a hard-fought ban on the 3rd runway which followed decades of campaigning. The advert's central point pushes nuclear energy as a clean option, when it is literally the worst option possible if you can see further than Starmer's endlessly growing nose. Sizewell was leaking toxic material within 15 years. See this thread (entitled 'Nuclear meltdown') for further details: https://bsky.app/profile/shakethescales.bsky.social/post/3lyvggmbdys2j

My hot take on this its great that the journalist acknowledges that the Green Party is at record membership, record polling and has huge momentum.

But why say "dentally challenged?"

Who or what is that serving?

The state of journalism.

" @greenparty.org.uk have hurtled past 130,000, eclipsing number of Conservative members. One poll already puts them on 15%, more than double last year’s 6.2% & tied with Labour. To call that a political phenomenon is not hyperbole."
