Loved chatting with @zackpolanski.bsky.social in a live @boldpolitics.bsky.social from #Brighton - we covered everything from the climate & nature emergency (obvs), telling better stories of England, hope & despair, & why we often do end of life so badly - give it a listen πŸ‘‡

The Channel 4 docudrama 'Dirty Business' is exposing the real danger that sewage pollution poses to our environment and our health.

All while shareholders receive billions in dividends.

It's time to end the failed privatisation experiment and bring water back into public hands.

Persuasion UK: β€œNigel Farage says he’s on people’s side – but when you take a closer look it’s pretty clear who he’s... for, isn’t it?
It’s the rich, the powerful, his mates in big business.”
They explain that Farage wants to cut public services, workers’ rights and taxes for the richest.

How is Reform’s charmless candidate still a contender in Gorton and Denton? Ask Labour | George Monbiot This byelection should have been a stroll for Keir Starmer’s party. Instead, all hope of defeating Matt Goodwin now seems to lie with the Greens, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Greens are independent of big corporations and free to push for policies that normal people need.

Unlike Reform UK Ltd Company.

β€œJim Ratcliffe’s comments were outrageous. They are offensive and they were deeply wrong. We do have a problem in our country, and that problem is inequality. It’s not immigration.”

Last week at Full Council, I supported a motion to better protect our precious rivers and chalk streams.

While the motion did not go as far as I would have liked in adopting a full Rights of the River approach, it was a step in the right direction, and one I was pleased to support.

Green party leader tops poll after backing small boat migrants

Green party leader tops poll after backing small boat migrants

Even in platforming our success - there's still more spin.

We're not backing "small boat migrants."

We're backing people - including people who are in desperate circumstances.

Labour delays Mayoral elections by 2 years.
2 more years for us to get even stronger and win in Hampshire with a fairer election that is not FPTP but by supplementary voting.
