Mostly harmless, asthmatic runner and dog walker, who hates injustice and this incessant slide into fascism.
Also into origami, chess and bread making to differing levels of success.

Look around the world at every single problem and it's all Greed.
No Healthcare, Greed.
No Housing, Greed.
Climate Change, Greed.
War, Greed.
The problem is simple, the solution is to remove from power the people causing them.

You win more Green MPs, you grow support for the party, by being absolutely clear about what we stand for.
The climate crisis is not one made up just of carbon. But of corporate power.
We need to win many more MPs & boldly take on vested interests.

It's an honour to hold elected office for the last 4 years & to continue this with our 4 new MPs for the last 10 months.
I'm ambitious about taking on a failing Labour Party and sending many more Green MPs to Parliament.

Quick reminder that those who fought in WW2 also built the welfare state, including the NHS. I think they’d be fairly unhappy with Reform’s plans.

The vote is sadly not binding but is evidence of the level of support for #PR in this new Parliament

If you think more privitisation is good for the NHS.
Ask yourself, why hasn't it helped with water? Or energy? Or transport? Or in fact anything ever?
Rivers full of sewage, energy bills through the roof whilst record profits are recorded and disrupted expensive travel. Let this be a warning.

The only people who benefit from NHS privatisation are the private company shareholders. Private companies treat the NHS like a cash cow. They train barely any staff. They mostly don’t provide emergency services. They often cherry pick easy cases+ leave complex cases to the NHS. It needs to stop.🚨🚨🚨

Quick reminder that NHS staff were treated terribly by the Conservative government for 14 years and kept the NHS going throughout that entire period. They are *definitely* not to blame for problems in the NHS, no matter what the media is saying! 🌟

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
