#Scotland's First Minister John #Swinney (#SNP) on his anti-far right summit- "If we are passive about this we run the risk that those #democratic systems will be eroded by the challenges that we face". It comes as polls suggest #ReformUK say might get their first #MSP next year (they claim they're not far right). Disgracefully, #Tory party say they won't attend

BBC NewsFM defends excluding Reform UK from anti-far right summitReform claims the meeting is really an "anti-democratic" attempt to curb its growing electoral support.

Farage has only voted in about a third of votes in the House since he was elected and yet has declared an average of three working days per week making money doing other jobs. The grift is real and the grift is on.

I wonder how aware people are of the state of #ukpol. I live just outside of Cambridge, in what I would ordinarily consider to be a very liberal area, but we're getting a lot of #reformuk material for the upcoming local elections. At first I thought they were just doing bad job of targeting their campaign, but then it occurred to me that they may have concluded that they actually stand a chance here. That would be a seismic shift if so.

Well UK, you've done it! This effed up #uksupremecourtruling against the transgender community will have a knock on effect like the #USA. I hope you like #reformuk because that's what you just voted for thanks to the shitty #uksupremecourt. I thought when becoming a UK citizen after leaving the US that I would have some human rights and dignity. So Brits hate the transgender community as well. DEATH BEFORE TRANSITION! 🖕✊

Two things, firstly there’s no such things as modern politics - it’s the same two horse race and political bullshit we’ve had for 150 years …. If we had a modern politics, we’d have a proper coalitions working for the common good, tax billionaires and corporations fairly and nationalise our infrastructure services. Secondly if you want a media campaign for fucks sake do not send the most boring man in Britain to do it

The numerical absurdity you have to believe to vote #ReformUK is that the 1% of trans people and the <1% of recent immigrants somehow account for a significant fraction of our problems in housing, NHS investment, wage stagnation, and general economic decline

Rather than, say, the well-evidenced causes: parasitic landlords, austerity economics, loss of trade with the EU, and wage theft.

All of it's fixable, but not with right-wing policy.

If Labour won't fix it, vote Green.
