If the Greens could win another seat, it could be in the north, and it could be this one.

So, the question is, can the Greens win this seat to beat Reform and Labour?

UK tourist Becky Burke was arrested by ICE in the USA and kept in handcuffs and chains for 19 days before being deported back to Wales.

Her 'crime', doing unpaid work in return for accomodation (which isn't illegal).

This is the evil of Donald Trump's USA, DON'T GO.

It was also #Reform’s first by-election defeat in #Derbyshire,

It comes after months of success in the polls, in which the #GreenParty have closed in on Reform, Labour and the Tories ever since Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social became leader

Do people see it yet?

Any brutality we fund/arm abroad comes back & then is used on us. #BoomerangImperialism

Palantir is now helping ICE terrorize people here in the States after the US - both parties - funded Israel who used Palantir to terrorize Palestinians.

@humanitymustwin.bsky.social
Fueled by massive data collection & AI, Palantir helps Israel (enabled by the US & other Western countries) target/kill people in Gaza.

Now, Palantir is turning its data collection & surveillance on Americans.

Harm to them = likely to be harm to us. #BoomerangImperialism
