Unlike my "X" account I was going to keep this less political and more of a place for "time out"
But the murder of Renee Good had led me to conclude this was a selfish idea, what you will now see is much the same from me as in the other place -
‘Unimaginable loss’: Renee Good family urges ‘empathy’ in call for justice

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Today we celebrate Zack Polanski! A British politician and, as of Sept 2025, leader of the UK Green Party. Jewish, gay, and vegan, he’s spoken out for gay and trans rights while focusing on Gaza, the climate crisis, and the cost-of-living crisis.

Zack Polanski gives me something I haven't felt in ages; hope. I feel hopeful whenever I hear him speak. Perhaps this is the future and perhaps we are not that doomed after all.
A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Really proud to be the LGBT+ Trailblazer of the year.

And so proud of the real trailblazers - like my boyfriend - who works in palliative care.

Our NHS workers, our teachers, our cleaners.

The people who keep our country running.

And LGBT+ History month matters. Representation matters.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!
