This Government is dehumanising migrants, increasing AI & facial recognition use in policing, and ramping up raids.

‘A British ICE’ – Far-right fantasy or creeping reality?
The UK already has its own version of ICE. Reform UK and the far-right dream of taking that sinister approach even further

Me on Times Radio last Friday with a clear message: when 12 people hold more wealth than 4 billion others, we must urgently #TaxTheSuperRich.
Taxing wealth fairly isn’t just about raising revenue — it’s about building a fairer and healthier economy, democracy and society.
Catch our very own Jake Atkinson breaking it down on the Henry Bonsu show, on Times Radio.

So @zackpolanski.bsky.social shared in an interview he had an achilles injury that hasn’t fully recovered - you wouldn’t be able to tell!
He’s right we need to stop and look around, but I’d say this broadcast also makes me want to sprint through a brick wall for the Greens.

Trump’s attack on #Venezuela is a violation of international law in order to seize resources to enrich his big oil donors.

The govt says it’s taxing the super-rich… but it doesn’t seem to know what that means.
Last week the Chancellor was asked about her Budget's impact on the richest 1%, she said they only analyse impact by deciles (10% slices of the pop).
