I would sooner see £75,000.00 spent on roads or public services.

I remain committed to a CofE that seeks to be more inclusive to same sex couples. I know that some would disagree with me but I think it is important to nail my colours to the mast. It is the only way for me to remain in the CofE with integrity.

"It's not for me to say to people 'don't vote Labour because you're going to split the vote'. It's Labour's job to offer a better solution".

Perfectly put.

People are sick of being told there are only two options: bad or worse.

Thinking of all those held hostage by Hamas who are being reunited with their families after 2 long years, and those finally being released from Israeli prisons in Gaza & the West Bank. I barely dare to hope, but we must - this must be the start of lasting peace & freedom for all

“Britain is a nation of neighbours, not strangers — and it’s time we built a politics of hope that reflects that.”

Zack Polanski with a message of unity and hope having been out door knocking Handsworth today.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive.

But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right.

Absolutely shameful.

God loves you
With an enormous love,
And only wants
To look upon you
With that love.
Quiet.
Still.
Be.
Let your God—
Love you.

Let Your God Love You (by Edwina Gateley). (1/2)

Be silent.
Be still.
Alone.
Empty
Before your God.
Say nothing.
Ask nothing.
Be silent.
Be still.
Let your God look upon you.
That is all.
God knows.
God understands...

A man with white hair and beard is wearing a ‘Plasticine Action’ tshirt which includes a picture of popular plasticine character, Morph. The text on the picture notes that the Met Police arrested him and then de-arrested him when he asked why plasticine was illegal.

Remember that dude with the Plasticine Action tshirt, with the pic of Morph on it, who got arrested for wearing it in London?

He has set up a site selling the tshirts with all proceeds going to the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

You know what to do! ⬇️

I wish Jeremy and Zarah well. But I’ve not yet seen any policy they’re proposing that isn’t already a longstanding part of the Green Party manifesto - and any party that doesn’t have the nature and climate emergencies front and centre is part of the old politics, not part of the new

Diane was the first black woman ever to be elected.

She's spent a lifetime fighting racism and she's the mother of the house.

This will be her legacy.

Reform UK Nottinghamshire County Councillors are not serious about health in Nottinghamshire.

Today 3 apologies, with one substitute used and one with no apologies.
