The Labour MP Gordon McKee has tried to explain economics using biscuits. Nice try, but he’d have made more sense if he just ate them. He ends up waving a credit card around, claiming we’ve borrowed too much from lenders who are charging us too high a rate! Crumbs! Neoliberalism in biscuits!

So much for the Labour gov’s claim it will build 1.5 million homes. They are stuck in the same economic framework as the conservatives and lib dems, none of who can see the wood for the trees. We don’t need a market led building disaster, we need a gov financed social homes programme.

Looking forward to talking #NaturesRights in Cambridge tomorrow night
Really interesting discussion at the AGC Conference today in Bradford about the rights of nature and some of the great work Green councillors are doing across the country, using Lewes and Stroud as case studies to highlight the fantastic work our councillors are undertaking!

I absolutely understand Starmer has a tightrope to walk with Trump, but it’s fantastic that we can have a mainstream UK politician on CNN! not fearful to speak the truth about the orange PEDOTUS.
Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"
"This is sociopathic behaviour"
"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"
"I'm not a fan of Trump"
Christiane Amanpour, "It's pretty clear"

Devastated this unecessary attack on nature has been forced through, by a government in thrall to fake promises by the development industry.
This won't fix our housing crisis, because evidence shows developers focus on profit not need, but it will trash nature.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Good news! The #RentersRightsBill has received royal assent - this landmark legislation will give vital protections to the millions of private renters in the UK. A happy day.
Now it's time to tackle the next crisis facing renters - affordability. That must include rent controls.
