I'm politically on the left. I back wealth redistribution, strong workers’ rights, a fully funded NHS, free education, and climate justice. Anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-greed. Fighting for a future that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few.

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?
The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand.
This is a shambolic dereliction of duty.
I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

Since Zack said these words on 2nd September, over 110,000 people have joined the Green Party.
This is a mass movement of people who are serious about replacing Labour and taking the fight to Reform.

2) Drugs are really accessible now & dealers dont ask for ID to check ages
3) legally regulating drugs means access based on risk e.g. licensed venues or through health professionals with safeguards
It is about getting control of an out of control, harmful market.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.
