Just a normal guy who wants to live in a world with more compassion and fewer billionaires. Member of Green Party, and have found my hope again.
Well, it must be so difficult to criticise a cruel, narcissistic, misogynistic, stupid, racist, facist, paedophile, rapist.

Together with cross-party Parliamentarians I have written to the Home Secretary calling on her to accept today's ruling on Palestine Action.

Instead of criminalising those protesting genocide, the govt must examine its own complicity and work to support justice for Palestinians.

Labour’s vote is collapsing everywhere.

In Peterborough last night, as in Gorton and Denton, voting Green is the only way to stop Reform.
Fletton & Woodston (Peterborough) Council By-Election Result:

➡️ RFM: 29.4% (New)
🌍 GRN: 27.6% (+16.2)
🌳 CON: 21.8% (-11.8)
🌹 LAB: 16.8% (-31.2)
🔶 LDM: 4.4% (-0.7)

No TUSC (-1.9) as previous.

Reform GAIN from Labour.
Changes w/ 2024.

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.

UK Dept of Work and Pensions deducted £32.4m from Universal Credit to pay poor people's water bills.

People in the North hit the hardest.

Water companies pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay, fleece customers, don't pay fines.

Now allowed to rob the poor, with full complicity of the state.
Northern communities are bearing the brunt of DWP and water company deductions
The DWP is allowing water companies to go after benefit claimants living in the most deprived areas to collect debt for water bills

It's because we have weak mp's who are meant to be socialists but instead parrot far right bullshit in the hope of winning the far right vote. Also, the same mp's bow down to the rich & powerful and let them exploit people, causing more inequality. Wow, I didn't need a whole book to answer that.

@elliechowns.bsky.social is a fantastic communicator, I love hearing her take down Labour and Reform with logic, facts, compassion and clarity.

And Hannah Spencer is local, hard working and going to be an amazing MP.

So it’s Greens versus Reform
Hope versus Hate

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy!

Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence.

Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

Whoever you vote for, #votegreen
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election

Nigel Farage has called for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.

We are so much better than that.

DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

I can't wait until Labour discovers what kind of person Donald Trump is. They are going to be so embarrassed about that 2nd state visit.

Palantir is throwing the MoD a party to celebrate its untendered £240m contract.

It would already be inappropriate for any member of Govt to attend, given what we know about how Palantir has facilitated genocide in Gaza and been complicit in ICE deportations.

Now, it would be unacceptable.
The Green MPs have written to the Cabinet Secretary urging an investigation into "Palantir's vice-like grip on our Government" and the role played by disgraced Peter Mandelson in brokering it.

All contracts with this Trump-supporting spy tech company must be suspended.

Spuffle.
I admit there aren't two f's in the image. Also, spuffle isn't actually a word. However this is what my old eyes saw, and now I really want spuffle to be a word.
Would love to hear options on what it should mean.

Labour—like the Conservatives before them—are in a crisis of their own making.

It's time for a different kind of politics.

How do that not realise that cheering looks bad? They are cheering a man who may lose his job because he gave another job to a guy who thought being close friends with a peadophile is okay. Why are so many mp's okay with this? Sycophancy has replaced morality and common sense.

Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments.

This isn’t really about individuals.

It’s about the state of the Labour Party.

A government enthralled to men and corporations drunk on power is the rot at the centre of the Mandelson scandal.

Of all seven of the Nolan principles, openness can help build back the most trust.

Every MP, like me, should release logs of all lobbying meetings.

Total bollocks. Labour are finished because you are corrupt. You prefer to represent the rich instead of those who voted for you. People have had enough. Some will vote Reform, but a lot, including me, will vote Green. We will vote for hope, compassion, and decency
