My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

We’re making sure the government knows that its proposals for private finance are not welcome in our NHS.

Our country is in crisis. Bills are too high. People are being forced to live in mouldy, unaffordable homes. One in three kids is living in poverty.

The budget is this government's chance to turn things around: it's time to cut bills and tax billionaires.
At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Well, it's a good job that the Mail doesn't have a history of backing the very worst people in history - because if they had, I'd completely ignore that headline.

Liz Truss should be defunded. As a former ( disastrous ) Prime Minister - Truss is on £130,000 pension each year for the rest of her life, courtesy of the hapless UK taxpayer.

Hello, world!

We are a new children’s bookshop which will open its doors in Edinburgh in 2026.

Much work is going on behind the scenes to make it happen, but in the meantime we are doing a pop-up to introduce ourselves to our lovely city and its community.

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now.

Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing.

Morgan McSweeney despises the left, this why Starmer’s Labour Party was ‘changed’, and why they are in hoc to corporate donations and corporate infiltration of government.

We don't have to agree on absolutely everything.

But want lower bills? Think billionaires should pay more tax?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
