Now #HouseofLords Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill  @greenjennyjones.bsky.social welcomes and looks forward to UK playing strong and active part in forthcoming international meetings #HighSeasTreaty www.parliamentlive.tv/Lords

I met with the Minister of State for Care last week to press him on the crisis in social care & the urgent need for more funding for Herefordshire Council. The govt’s current proposals will significantly reduce funding per head over the coming 3 years - this is simply not acceptable.

Fabulous. Any chance of some actual left wing policies?

A $3 “healthy meal”? That’s what Trump’s Agriculture Secretary says families should expect to live on. The problem isn’t that families don’t budget enough. It’s that wages are too low & costs are too high—while the wealthy & corporations keep paying less. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Nope.

The UK cannot build our security on unpredictability - our safest and most stable path forward lies with our European neighbours. Full statement is linked below.

At a time when billionaires and oligarchs own the majority of our press, when local journalism is in decline, and social media is rife with misinformation and abuse, there has never been a greater need for citizen journalism Who funds us? No one...except you. Become a friends of Bylines supporter:

Never forget: never let anyone else forget either.

I will be responding to the Government’s consultation on phasing out crates & cages. After long running campaigning, it’s vital we secure a strong, time-bound phase out with support for farmers. Have your say by 9 March

When Trump says "one way or another we're going to have Greenland" - we should sit up and listen. Time for British leaders to stop burying their heads in the sand. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Scientists warn of ‘regime shift’ as seaweed blooms expand worldwide

Interesting how, when pressed to sound more forceful personally against Trump, Starmer restates essential nuclear and intelligence partnership. Wld be interesting to know what, if any, implicit and explicit threats US has made to withdraw that cooperation. Strong whiff of backstage menaces there.

Scientists warn of ‘regime shift’ as seaweed blooms expand worldwide

Speaking at our event Catherine Thomas from the LSE warns that although we left the EU five years ago via the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, we will continue to find ourselves in a state of permament negotiation with our biggest trading partner.

Demented and Dangerous Trump tells Norway Prime Minister: "The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland." He no longer feels "an obligation to think purely of Peace" after Norway "decided not to give" him the Nobel Peace Prize. He is the biggest danger to peace.

Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand. We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is. We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.

“When women report abuse and violence and are dismissed or brushed aside, it feeds the dangerous narrative that it’s somehow our fault. Women like Nina Cresswell have stood firmly against that narrative and spoken out. That’s so brave.” – @patsystevenson.bsky.social https://goodlaw.social/96wh

Starmer defends his diplomatic approach to Trump, despite growing pressure at home to condemn him more forcefully, underlining the security relationship. “Strong, respectful alliances require the maturity to say where we disagree and on this we disagree, and I’ve been clear about that."

'Alliances endure because they're built on respect and partnership, not pressure' Keir Starmer reiterates that President Trump's threats of tariffs over Greenland are 'completely wrong'

Zack Polanski: Trump's threat to Greenland must be a wake up call for Britain

⚠️ Starmer: "In today's world, geopolitics is not something that happens somewhere else." "It shapes the cost of energy, the price of food, the security of jobs, and the stability that families rely on to plan their lives. "When war drives up fuel prices, it's households who feel it first."

What drove so much positive climate coverage in 2018-2021, before the organised pushback gathered pace? Could it have been something to do with the tens of thousands of people out on the street, pushing the climate up the news agenda and so visibly acting as if the truth was real?

All too timely poetry on the Tube. We need much more #PublicArt - space for reflection, not just selling things

Research shows even a modest UBI paying the same as the current benefits system would bring huge benefits because the payment would be certain, so people on low incomes can invest - in education, their health, or starting a new business. This is the bold action the UK needs!

Growth has weakened further since the pandemic. In fact, as of Q3 2025, the economy has taken six years to grow as much as we would have expected in roughly seven months on the previous pre-pandemic trend. Read our latest report on the UK's growth policy challenge and progress➡️ buff.ly/VWHNFCb

Great to see Bristol's Green councillors making case for a trial Universal Basic Income - a guaranteed payment that would have huge benefits for groups like care leavers, and give a massive boost to culture and the arts. bristolgreenparty.org.uk/greens-call-...

The dark truth of CEO silence on Trump’s climate retreat - Failing to speak out about the US president’s ever more egregious actions is more dangerous than it appears, writes @pilitapia.bsky.social HT @carbonbrief.org www.ft.com/content/3e48...

When the nuclear industry starts proposing reactors at sea, it tells you a great deal about how detached it has become from today’s security and environmental realities. Britain should invest in resilient, renewable power — not failed 20th-century technology. #Renewables #NationalSecurity

😂 Brilliant! 👇🏼

Tories, actually.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 With the US once again threatening the UK with tariffs over the situation in Greenland it is an important time to remember that deeper alignment with the EU will offset the damage to both the UK the EU from such tariffs. https://www.bestforbritain.org/growth_report

The fossil fuel industry is waging an information war, and they're winning. We desperately need influential media voices like @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social to give time to trusted independent experts like Professor @mikebernerslee.bsky.social. 🙏
