One of the things that is really coming over from the Greens Gorton campaign is how tirelessly and passionately they are going about electing a decent human being. They are working so hard and it is to be applauded.

If you don't want Reform to win it is crucial that voters vote Green. Reform are in the lead with Greens 2nd well ahead of the others. I repeat, in the Gorton and Denton by election you need to #VoteGreen to have the best chance of stopping Reform from winning.

Starmer is deeply irresponsible. War with Russia looms & Starmer cuts the Security Fund against Russia. He fails to understand that capitulation is not good diplomacy, it's a failure to protect. Meanwhile he warns us about our streets are likely to be exposed to Russian toxic chemicals. His fault.

I'm sure people want to read about the man who took us into a 20 year war based on an untruth that he convinced Parliament was true. Who made Labour dump socialism for Thatcherism, & has made a fortune off the back of his Premiership as a consultant about the Middle East. Blair! 🤮
