It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon on a panel
at CamCOP organised by students at Cambridge University. Impressive enthusiasm as well as scepticism about corporate environmental ‘solutions’ which generally don’t benefit communities.
Former political prisoner Nasrin Parvaz reads a letter to Keir Starmer signed by more than 100 pro-democracy, pro-justice and anti-war British-Iranians, including other former Evin detainees Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Aras Amiri. Full list of signatories is at togetherforiran.org

A KC who represented victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal in the public inquiry has quit her post on the Legal Services Board to fight justice secretary David Lammy's plans to restrict the right to a jury trial

The real agenda behind shutting down humanities and promoting STEM.
Intelligent women are looking to make the world a better place. They vote for good things that limit the evil that men are trying to get away with.
Get Palantir out of Britain.
Such a powerful maiden speech from our amazing new Green MP Hannah Spencer - take a few moments to listen & celebrate that a bit more humanity has entered Westminster & hope is beginning to feel more normal 👇
The 'Zack Polanski and the Greens don't talk about the environment anymore' commentators are out in force right now.
Time to reshare this video 👇

This was a really brave speech by @charlotte2153.bsky.social on the Courts & Tribunals Bill
And really glad someone said this, and so powerfully:
“experiences like mine feel like they’ve been weaponised and are being used for rhetorical misdirection”
Curtailing jury trials is not the answer.
Thank you PinkNews for including me on your list of 10 LGBTQ+ women changing the world in 2026 🩷

So it turns out Lammy's people were putting out a massive lie. Funny that a Labour minister being caught in a lie. Who could've seen that coming from the government of non stop serial liars?

A glimpse of UK democracy
The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 empowers the state to 24/7 snoop on bank accounts of benefit recipients.
The poor, old, sick have no financial privacy.
The same does not apply to enablers of tax abuse schemes.
We are all equal, aren't we?

His opposition to Israel's genocide & Iran war

Welcome, Rob. 💚
"Ministers want to make it harder for inquests to pass verdicts of unlawful killing, which have been crucial in getting justice for women who committed suicide after suffering abuse."
I don't think anyone expected Labour would change course after its electoral drubbing but this is 🤯
You know how Trump attacks Starmer andUK on Truth Social?
Well turns out Labour’s investment minister holds stake worth at least £100k in a controversial US tech company that just built Truth Social's AI chat bot...

Love this so much! 💚👏🏼
In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.
@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social to govt minister Darren Jones: "I find this faux outrage about Mandelson really astonishing. He was a man who was closely involved with the current PM & the leadership of the Labour party ever since Tony Blair"
Not every leader, eh Jeremy!
So Darren Jones responds that had Starmer known what the House now knows about Mandleson, he would never have been appointed. But surely the point is that we can now see that Starmer did know what the House now knows. More lies from a corrupt PM.
Had missed this. Seems my investigation on Democracy for Sale about Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm working for the Qataris came up in Mandy’s due diligence!
(Am pretty sure I warned about this at the time of his US ambassador appointment…)
The Hinkley C UK nuclear reactor will produce 3.2GW, it will cost £50bn.
For that the UK could have built 40GW of Wind Turbines in 1/5th of the time.
Which would even on the least windy days of the year produce TWICE as much electricity.
Nuclear is an unnecessary RIPOFF.
Looking forward to it. Tickets still available
