UK democracy in action.
Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.
No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.
In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs “deliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.
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.

Has anyone tried looking up Trump's arse?
On this International Women's Day, I want to honor some of the bravest women in the world:
The victims of child sex abuse who spoke out against very powerful men like Jeffrey #Epstein, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew & a huge pedophile ring.
Your strength is amazing!

Always after Israel
Israeli settlers kill three more Palestinians in the occupied West Bank

Almost all the cultural spaces and restaurants I've been in recently have switched to gender neutral toilets. It's indicative of how Labour's rabid hatred of trans people feels bizarre to so much of civil society which is asking itself, 'what drugs is Labour on, and how do we ban those?'
UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.
Maximum capacity is 12 days.
Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.
UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.
The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.
Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦♂️

I can't see Labour pulling itself out of this nosedive
Too much self-inflicted damage done
Gone too far right to recover now
The local elections in May will be where cold hard reality finally comes up to meet them
... and the Green Party will replace Labour

Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.
UK recruiter emerges from insolvency for third time, avoiding millions owed in tax.
Companies run up debts, declare bankruptcy, debts shed, new company formed with same management/owners ... rinsed and repeated.
HMRC loses £836m a year. Creditors, including SMEs, lose millions.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the brilliant women in the Green Party and across #Bradford who are campaigning, organising and leading the fight for equality.

@rachelmillward.bsky.social speaks to Sky about Labour's lurch to the right on asylum policy - and why the Green Party is focused on real solutions to the cost of living instead.

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.
That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.
Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

I never believed the liars & haters, and Gorton & Denton is the reset we needed so badly.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
