This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.
It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.
An act of self-preservation.
If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.
They didn't.

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'
We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.
Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.
Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

With the clocks going back an hour in the UK the evenings have really drawn in. As we get to the darkest days remember this is a time when those suffering with depression /MH conditions may take a dip. Check on them, make time in your day and share a cuppa. Be kind, listen with all your senses.

As Reeves travels to Riyadh to discuss trade, Saudi Arabia is in the middle of an execution spree. The UK must not cosy up to regimes with appalling human rights records.
Trade deals can’t come at the cost of our values; our govt must not prioritise profit over human rights.

One of the most refreshing things about the Caerphilly by-election result was the stark contrast between voters’ actual views and mainstream media reporting or Reform’s social-media boosterism.
Media, how about more genuine reporting instead of lazy output based on X’s biased algorithm?

Taxing wealth fairly is incredibly popular: 75% of the public support a wealth tax of 1% on assets above £10 million.
Inequality is a huge threat facing our country - why won't the govt tackle it? Tax wealth, invest in communities, and build a fairer future for everyone.

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?
