“It might take our producer five minutes to find 60 economists who feared #Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.

But by the time we went on air we had one of each: we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance.

It wasn’t.”

Zack and his team clearly understand media.
Having chewed on the topic for some time, I believe that the Green Party has a significant role to play in the UK's future.
So, as of now, I am a Green Party Member.
Consider joining. Things can get better.
The Green Party now has 78,000 members.

Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line.

I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand.

My DK guidebook (co-written with Tristan Rutherford) to #Albania is out in the wild now! If you're planning a trip to this welcoming and beautiful country, please buy a copy. A lot of love and care went into crafting the guide and we blew through the budget on photos and cartography. geni.us/Albania

I've a big piece in The Times (Scotland) today about restaurants with rooms. While I didn't bang on about sustainability (that much) in the text, it's all places independently run and owned by chefs using local produce in their kitchens. I'm proud of this one.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

The choice could not be any clearer.

Do you push 700,000 people into poverty by cutting lifeline benefits?

Or do you get a grip on the extreme wealth being hoarded in this country?

This IS a choice, and the Government knows it.
Cuts to public services and welfare are wrong – and unnecessary.

The government could tax extreme wealth and close loopholes instead.

How to raise £60 billion for public services: our ten tax reforms
The UK’s super-rich have accumulated record levels of wealth in recent years, while our public services have been decimated and inequality has soared.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis
