On my way from Manchester to the House of Lords.

Next Monday, I hope Hannah Spencer will be making that same journey – as the new MP for Gorton and Denton. We need Greens in the room, asking the challenging questions and giving voice to people too often ignored in Westminster.

Opinion | I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day — The Guardian Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

“I can’t speak for every girl my age, but I frequently feel objectified, dehumanised and disgusted by the hate towards women I see online, and I can say with certainty that most of my friends would agree with me.”

Dignity maybe? Respect for the job? Respect for the constitution?

He’s only cosplaying being FBI Director. What else should we expect?

Happy for Team USA’s Olympic Ice Hockey gold 🏒🥇

But is this really how FBI Director Kash Patel should behave?

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

If you want concentration camps in the UK, people being grabbed off the streets, or murdered on them, five year olds being separated from their parents and locked up #VoteReform

Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.

For years we've seen an ongoing genocide.

It's been backed by right wing papers, the US President and by this Labour Government.

71% of Brits back independent press regulation, new polling reveals Latest polling by Opinium shows overwhelming public support for reform of press regulation

New research by Opinium on behalf of PJP:
“When asked how the press should be regulated, the most popular option (38%) is for newspapers and their websites to be regulated by an independent statutory regulator, like Ofcom, enforcing rules laid down by law.” tinyurl.com/2bj2zmmf

Andrew charged taxpayers for massage services when envoy, claim ex-civil servants — BBC News Whistleblower former civil servants claim there was too little scrutiny of Andrew's costs as UK trade envoy.

Why the hell do they insist on using his first name as though he’s a good and honest person?

You can’t have a ‘special relationship’ with a malignant narcissist.

Farage wants to tear us apart Let's stop pretending that Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain Party and Nigel Farage's Reform UK are running different agendas. It is already clear that they co-exist to simultaneously fuel the rightward s...

Reform is planning the destruction of the well-being of people, communities, ways of life and this country as it has always been, which is a small island state that has always offered a welcome to people who add value when they stay and make this their home. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

Send support for schoolchildren in England to be given £4bn overhaul — The Guardian Bridget Phillipson says she has heeded calls to fund tailored provision and is also creating 60,000 places at special needs schools

Too little too late.

Farage accused of 'cheap stunt' after being 'denied entry' to Chagos Islands The Foreign Office website makes clear the restricted access of the British Indian Ocean Territory and clearly states 'you need a permit before you travel'

But it's not "a cheap stunt."

Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.

It's expensive flying to the Maldives.

Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?

How much did it cost?
Who picked up the tab?

Condemning ourselves to decline Phillip Inman’s column in the Guardian on Saturday made a familiar argument.

An article in the Guardian this weekend showed just how dangerous the household budget myth is. The UK is not precariously poor, but the myths by which the Treasury and government manage the country are dangerous, condemning us to decline. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

OAF OF ALLEGIANCE: The implications of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest — and the lingering image that’s so good they hung it in the Louvre — are still occupying most minds. Officials have made clear that they’ll consider legislation to remove the ex-prince from the royal line of succession once the police investigation is wrapped up — but MPs want to be able to vent in a Commons debate far sooner. Great care will need to be taken not to prejudice a potential case (and the king’s brother denies all wrongdoing).

Act early and it's to protect the public.

Act late and it's to protect the institution.

Yusuf: “We will secure our borders, leave the ECHR, and deport those here illegally. My message to the British people is simple: I will secure our borders and make you feel safe.”

There is nothing safe about these vicious inadequates turning racism into policy.

We've filed an application with the European Court of Human Rights | Good Law Project No child should be forced to carry the name of a man who raped her mother. We’re asking the court to rule on whether this decision was lawful.

We’ve taken the next step in our legal challenge to a ruling that prevents a six-year-old from taking her mother’s surname – and forces her to bear the name of the man who raped her mother.
