In the lead-up to Trans Day of Remembrance, I won a cross-party commitment on the London Assembly to protecting and advancing trans rights.   It has never been more important for our institutions to stand together unequivocally with the trans community.

Shameful

Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social on becoming the Leader of The Green Party. Very excited about the future! 💚

The EU just passed China on GDP. 🇪🇺 EU: $19.99 trillion 500 mil. people 🇨🇳 China: $19.23 trillion 1,6 bil. people

New data has suggested more than one in four parents will go without food or heating to afford school uniform. Meanwhile, the rich get richer and richer and richer and richer. Child poverty is a political choice. This government could make different ones.

Lammy’s empathy is legendary. Cozying up to fellow war criminals. ✅ Empathy for those being slaughtered. ❌

I said to JD: ‘Look, we’ve got different politics, but we’re both quite strong Christians and we both share quite a tough upbringing,’” Lammy said of an early meeting. 🤮 #Lammy #DavidLammy #Vance #JDVance www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Incredible turn out for trans pride so much love, determination and ally-ship on display.

Several years ago when I left the LP I argued that Starmer's problem is he's irredeemably shallow, a bureaucrat not a jurist, and incapable of looking below the surface of any issue he engaged with. Such people are often found on the coattails of fascists.

Scientists have released the closest images ever taken near the sun, captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flying 3.8 million miles above the solar surface. See more images of solar eruptions on the sun: wapo.st/3Irm3P3

Unfortunately, history will be written by the same people who allow the genocide to take place. So there won’t be even any reckoning.

Starmer is a career builder. It doesn't matter what in, so long as he moves on up. The fact he glosses over the very, very obvious genocide in Gaza, the complete abuse of human rights in the West Bank and claims a personal connection with Trump, proves he just wants power at almost any cost.

Chanting at music festivals is not the actual problem. Israel's genocide is. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

And Starmer. Was he really a human rights lawyer at some point? Was it just for the prestige?

How many perpetrators of domestic violence, or child abuse, or sexual assault will Yvette Cooper release early to imprison people aghast at the genocide in Palestine, and her authoritarian response, and wanting to speak of it?

The use of the Terrorism Act to proscribe Palestine Action is disproportionate and sets a dangerous precedent.

Proscribe the Spectator

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage www.reuters.com/world/italy-...

Civil disobedience is not “terrorism”. Civil disobedience is an essential part of a healthy democratic society. The Labour MPs who have voted to proscribe Palestine Action 🇵🇸 as a “terrorist organisation” have lost their moral compass, shamed themselves, and undermined democratic values.

There is already a left-wing alternative to Labour. Just join The Green Party @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social #Progressive #Politics #GreenParty #JeremyCorbyn www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thanks to the Daily Fail. Always appreciate the love. 😘

Today, MPs got a letter from Liz Kendall with the Government's panicked proposals for a two-tier disability benefits system, harsher and meaner to people who fall sick or disabled after Nov 2026. Not acceptable - Green MPs will vote against the Bill tomorrow #TakingThePIP #WelfareBill

Today is Britain at its absolute stinking worst: a full on media and political feeding frenzy targeting someone who righteously sought to punch up for doing so in the wrong way, as we all avert our eyes from a real, genuine evil. Properly grim. Solidarity with Bob Vylan - end the genocide.

He didn’t say that. He chanted “Death to the IDF”. If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest. This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

At last, we have strong evidence from Transport for London’s latest research that 20mph speed limits significantly reduce the numbers of people dying and being seriously injured on our roads. I've been campaigning for 20mph limits for over 25 years. view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx...

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

More taxes, closer EU links, revised policy on winter fuel payments – all those homes linked to Keir Starmer are now to receive a special blue plaque

The dam is breaking.

On way to the Annual meeting at Islington Council, pausing to join an emotional gathering for the children of Gaza outside. Islington children speaking up clearly and beautifully for lasting peace, a ceasefire and an end to the violence and starvation that are killing the children of Gaza.

Politicians blame immigrants when they don’t have ideas

❗️Food inflation in the UK is EIGHT TIMES higher than it would've been if we'd stayed in the EU. ❗The cost of Brexit amounted to £1 million AN HOUR in 2022. @carladenyer.bsky.social says it's time to consider discussing rejoining the EU given the dire economic cost of Brexit.

A landslide for the Greens in St Ann’s in Haringey! 💚

Mark Carney draws a direct parallel between the US tariffs and the economic damage of Brexit. He did have a front row seat at the Bank of England, of course.
