God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, like Donald Trump and the strength to change the things I can, like the channel when he's on TV.

Zohran Mamdani & Zack Polanski both show that a new politics can emerge with public support.
Immigrants, trans kids, the poor, disabled etc aren't the reason for the mess we are in. It's billionaires, backed up by right wing and liberal politicians. Take them on, we can win.

Or a gillet wearing Centrist Dad!
But, as we go collect our filled watering cans from the allotment well,
I feel a Young Green at heart, just with Old Green Knees!

You don’t get people back into work by cutting benefits. Work is good for our mental health and we must improve the support available to help people re-enter the workforce.

89% of the world's people want to see governments around the world take more action on the climate crisis.
We're the majority. The climate denial of the Tories and Reform is the minority.
So, starting this Earth Day, let's speak up and show governments we want climate action NOW.
