hate this government with every fibre of my being

This is what politics should feel like: thoughtful, honest and shaking things up.

Hannah Spencer is going to be a brilliant MP for Gorton & Denton.

It's time to stop Reform in their tracks:

Watch online this Wednesday.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

This is essential reading for all policy makers - and it’s exactly what many of us have been warning about for years. Our current economic model is simply incompatible with a safe & secure future. We can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks

The Polanski effect? These charts reveal how much the Greens have advanced The Green party has made gains under its leader – but there is also uncertainty ahead

This is what an entire party stepping up looks like.

Together, we stop Reform.
Together, we win Gorton & Denton.

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:

If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

Massive hats off to everyone who dedicated their energy in the months after October 7th to attacking the UNRWA, discrediting the UN, and dismissing, sanctioning, intimidating the ICJ and ICC. Amazing work.

2025 art I enjoyed

happy new year.

I love this city !

Celebrating 20 years of “The Christmas Invasion” by taking a detour to the Powell Estate on Christmas Day.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Happening under a Labour Government.

In 2024 I asked Labour voters who said things would be "better under Labour" - "better for who?"

Because since 2024 I've been seeing things getting worse for a lot of people I care about. Not by accident, but because of the deliberate choices of this Labour Government.

Words and actions both.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Are the press going to run front pages and news items for months to ensure this man never reaches high office or is that only for Jeremy Corbyn ?

Zack Polanski: 'Labour Has Lost Its Soul On Immigration, Their Silent MPs Should Be Ashamed' Writing for HuffPost UK, the Greens leader says only his party will stand up to the powerful and defend the 99%.

Time to replace them.

"Polanski was joined by many Labour MPs in opposing the government’s plans, although most of them are thought to be prepared to reluctantly support the measures."

What's the point of being in Labour?

Completely beyond why people try to defend Labour record on treatment of asylum seekers. They are awful.
They have done terrible things the Tories never even thought of, like denying any refugee who came here through irregular means from EVER becoming a citizen & ENDING FAMILY REUNIFICATION. demons.

Very proud of my Green colleagues today. @mothinali.bsky.social and @zackpolanski.bsky.social calling out the far-right rhetoric being regurgitated By this Labour government

If you feel like you voted for Labour and got Reform, time to join @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party.

Don’t be taken in by the right wing smears, today’s Green Party is passionate, intelligent, and honest. They have consistently impressed me.

it absolutely does represent Labour values, because it's Labour doing it. Why are you still in a party enacting fascism?

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!?

Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

Difficult to see how a PM Streeting could rebuild Labour's voter coalition when he/his allies hold many of those voters in such visceral contempt. "Trots" is not just a juvenile pejorative. It's a really extreme, bizarre way to describe broad swathes of people to the left of the centre.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
