I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

What would the Green Party do at the Budget?
💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
🏠 Give councils the power to control rents
🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all
Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Today in the news:
Could the far right be far right?!
We found countless examples and testimonies and it is clear that, based on most serious definitions, they are indeed far right and a threat to democracy
However, we asked them and they said they are not.
Therefore, who is to know?

Climate change affects EVERYTHING. It’s mad that the issue has become left-coded when it should be just reality-coded
Climate change is a kitchen table issue. For most people a home is their largest investment, when climate change depresses their property values or makes their home uninsurable, it's a huge economic hit.
Rising Home Insurance Premiums Are Eating Into Home Values in Disaster-Prone Areas
Changes in the insurance market have started to affect home prices in the most disaster-prone areas, new research finds, pushing some homeowners’ finances to the breaking point.

NHS staff who care for patients in their own homes fear some areas have become “no-go zones” for them because of the presence of St George’s flags, health leaders have said.

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer.
The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯
How embarrassing for the UK.

And that has just rejected #SwiftBricks - a modest amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill that would have ensured a future for beautiful birds for whom a place to nest is a matter of life and death
Is this same Labour Government expanding airports,
refuses to rule out extracting more fossil fuels from the Rosebank Oil Field
Intent on destroying bats, newts and doesn't care about nature?
Not sure going to Brazil alone is going to do much good.
