Labour is under pressure not only from Reform but from the green party

Glad to hear Keir Starmer is finally making the right decision to attend climate talks.

Now let's talk about taxing wealth.

Looking forward to this one Guy 📖 #Wiltshire

Very excited to share that I'm writing a new book, THE GHOSTS OF CHALK COUNTRY - about the loss of England's chalk downland: a tale of flowers, fascism & freedom.

To be published by @wmcollinsbooks.bsky.social in April 2027:

+ the slightly catastrophic launch and infighting of @yourparty.bsky.social lost a lot of left / centre ground voters to the Greens (myself included). Roll on a hung parliament, rainbow coalition and PR 🌈

I joined today after 20 years of Labour Party membership. Time for real change 💚

125,000 MEMBERS!

For once, a vertical line on a graph giving us a glimmer of hope for our kids’ futures.

Jeremy Clarkson article that says if you can't sort out your teeth you can't sort out the country.

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Piss him off instead and

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

The Stonehenge Great Cursus

Hard to take a photo of something 1.7 miles long and a couple of feet high in places: The Great Cursus of Stonehenge. Had a good explore of this yesterday - refreshingly devoid of any understanding as to why it was built. #archaeology #wiltshire @megalithic.bsky.social @visitstonehenge.bsky.social
