Here's a clip from when I spoke to the Northern Rose at Green Party Conference about how I got involved in politics and how the Greens aim to address inequality.

The image includes a non-exhaustive list of items the European Court of Human Rights gives us: protection from torture, right to a fair trial, right to privacy and family life, freedom of expression, freedom of religion and belief, freedom of assembly, protection from discrimination, right to free and fair elections, accountability for the state, and prohibition of slavery and forced labour.

Okay, besides all that, what has the European Court of Human Rights ever done for us?

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Almost 100% of children in 73 neighbourhoods in England are living in income-deprived families.

Labour could choose to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty immediately by scrapping the two-child benefit cap.

Child poverty is a political choice.

Solidarity with my colleague Mothin, who experiences frequent and appalling racist abuse.

Out and out racism is alive and well in this country. And its perpetrators are emboldened every day that politicians and journalists describe immigrants as an invasion, a swarm, or a flood.

Farage to ask MPs to back the UK leaving the ECHR
This would place Britain in a tiny club of non-members with Russia and Belarus.
Belarus has never been in the ECHR and is a loyal ally of the Kremlin.
Russia was expelled from the ECHR after invading Ukraine.

More and more people are saying it: the Home Office is not fit for purpose and should be broken up, so migration can be dealt with by a department designed to make the system actually work for all of us.

One long walk beats short strolls for a healthy heart, study says Walking for at least 15 minutes without stopping is ideal, according to new research.

I can’t help feeling irritated that this article ends with safety tips for cyclists and pedestrians, not accountability for drivers or infrastructure.

The first thing we should Renationalise is the Government.

MPs should not receive a penny from any 'donors', they should work only for you.

Government has gone back to talking about its achievements in being nasty to asylum seekers. That'll ensure that Reform plc goes up in the polls and some more Labour supporters join the Green Party.

Psst! Why not now?

When Theresa May is offering a more convincing critique of Reform than either Labour or the Tories, you know that the Overton Window in this country has already exited stage right, pursued by the old political parties.

The government are reportedly planning on moving some asylum seekers from hotels to military bases...

How about, rather than shipping a few hundred people off to military sites, we let asylum seekers work and contribute to our society and fix our broken asylum system? πŸ€”

Healthy communities need safe, accessible spaces where children can play.

Today I’m asking the government to ensure our planning system makes space for play in housing developments.

As Reeves travels to Riyadh to discuss trade, Saudi Arabia is in the middle of an execution spree. The UK must not cosy up to regimes with appalling human rights records.

Trade deals can’t come at the cost of our values; our govt must not prioritise profit overΒ humanΒ rights.

This was one of my favourite episodes so far and I'm not even into drag, so had never heard of Tia Kofi before watching it. I feel like I learnt a lot in a very informal way from listening to them chatting.

The average student debt now stands at Β£53,000.

Almost half of graduates will spend 40 years paying off loans they’ll never finish.

This is not a fair or sustainable system.

Back in July, with the brilliant Mandu Reid, I published a manifesto for a Universal Early Years Future.

It sets out the case for a future with universal childcare, provided free at the point of use, for every child and parent.

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month.

Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth.

The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.
