I hate working on windows, so many restarts to handle installs and rubbish like that. I miss being able to work on Linux, heck even macOS would do

Some difficult questioning from Rory where he didn't seem at all receptive to the answers, and then Rory repeating his issues with Gary Stevenson repeatedly

The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy.
Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.
Refugees are welcome.

I will never vote for a party that gleefully attacks the vulnerable like this Labour government has attacked:
• refugees
• trans people
• disabled people
• children in poverty
Even if they claim some bogeyman wants to do it too.
There’s no point in Fascism Lite™.

If income tax goes up but a wealth tax isn't introduced or capital gains isn't brought inline with income tax (or raised higher), I will be absolutely livid

Transphobes don't just hate trans people, but they're generally quite shit - racists, islamophobes, shit politics, that's what they stand for
When I said our fight is one, I meant it, the same people coming after one minority also target others
Legitimate concerns need space, hate doesn’t

After seeing the video of Trump and Starmer, I can't tell if it's Starmer being humiliated, Trump genuinely not remembering who Starmer is, or most likely both at the same time

The Greens in England and Wales have more than 100,000 members for the first time, the party has announced, a near-50% rise since Zack Polanski took over as leader last month.
It puts them on a potential course to overtake the Conservatives and comes little more than a week after the Greens announced they had moved past the Liberal Democrats in membership numbers, getting to 83,500. Continue reading...

I’m a few days late but seeing @zackpolanski.bsky.social on this week’s Question Time gave me more hope for politics and people in the UK. So much so that I’m now a member of the Green Party!

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

I'm seeing reactions to @eddavey.libdems.org.uk this morning quite funny. People complained about asylum seekers being an economic drain, so Davey suggests we give them some amount of right to work and pay taxes. Then people complain about that.
