A High Court judge this week accused Stormont’s own departments of being “unprincipled” and “gaslighting” the court. Not our characterisation - the judge’s.

This is the way hope works.

Ending the two-child benefit cap is long overdue. It was a cruel policy that deliberately pushed children into poverty.
But at least 150,000 children in larger families will still see no benefit because of the household benefit cap. The government must go further.

After a long day in committee, I’m feeling utterly revived by seeing this great clip of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social making her maiden speech in Parliament.
Her voice is so very, very needed.

US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran.
Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.
When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:
It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.
We must protect jury trials.
Feminist groups @feministgreens.bsky.social and @libdemwomen.bsky.social have joined @transgreens.bsky.social, @pluslibdems.bsky.social, @sgprainbowgreens.bsky.social, @outforindy.bsky.social, @trans-yg.bsky.social in condemning the harassment of MP Hannah Spencer by two abusive gender-critical men
Could have stood to watch a lot more of @mothinali.bsky.social tonight. 👏👏👏
Kindness is crucial in government. So is caring and listening to others. We've had too little of those things for far too long.
But we can change that.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Thursday 12 March, TOMORROW, Sheffield County Council meet to discuss handing #NHS data to #Palantir.
Join us at Sheffield Town Hall, 9-11 am
Say NO to Palantir 🚫
Palantir has allegedly enabled:
genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸
ICE in the USA 😱
Protect our NHS. Protect our data. Let's make our voices heard.
The government talks of “mainlining AI” into the economy. Yet reports suggest the promised investment may be little more than shaky accounting and phantom figures.
Energy is precious. It must serve the public good — hospitals and vital services — not endless AI slop.

Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties.
That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it.
The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.
As illegal international aggression once again highlights the need for investment in renewable energy, it is crucial the govt do everything possible to protect households from bearing the brunt of surging energy prices - and to ensure no energy company profits from this war.
Today I asked ministers to deny* that the number of jury acquittals in protest cases was a factor in the Government’s dangerous attack on jury trials.
*They did not do this
We are two rainy, windswept islands. Wind and rain are not problems here - they are resources.
Energy independence is not a distant aspiration. It is sitting above our heads every single day, going to waste.

Very excited to be appearing at Wembley Arena tomorrow night as part of Trans Mission.
100 per cent of the profits raised will be split between Not a Phase and the Good Law Project.

Hello! Maz has been super-busy and asks if you can please resend your email? But they're at a conference all week so it may still be a bit before they can respond. Thanks so much!
Maz is the person. I'll see if I can give them a prod.

Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.

Today is International Women's Day.
The Green Party celebrates all the incredible women in the Green Party and beyond who are working every day to accelerate action for gender equality.
Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.
Happy #IWD. Women bear the brunt of the climate crisis. But men dominate climate decision-making, and mega-rich ones like Farage, whose party is backed by oil and gas, set the climate back.
I wrote this last IWD, but it's still relevant…👇
