Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

This war is wild. Absolutely wild.

💚💚💚💚💚 "This is Manchester, we do things differently here"

I am so tired of blatant transphobia being excused due to 'protected gender critical beliefs'.

Keep everything crossed for Hannah the Plumber... 💚

Keeping everything crossed that Gorton and Denton voters send a message of hope and defiance today. Fascism has no place here.

I can't stand "How did we do?" emails from companies soliciting feedback. So needy. Straight up delete.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope. On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

Dewy moss though...

I miss EU.

What is the most queer festival, which isn't actually a queer festival? As in, good for LGBTQ+ and supportive allies engagement

The audacity of using the word colonised. I can't even.

Receiving an email inviting Applications, but applications can only be made in writing, and sent to their postal address. Even though they just emailed me. Make it make sense.

People who have sought and been offered safety here deserve the chance to settle and build a life. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Setting my alarm to 1am in the hope of getting Studio Ghibli museum tickets...

The problem with the cap of £1M which grantmakers set as part of their eligibility is that it's been frozen at that level for a good ten years+. We can't do the same for the same - our costs rise with inflation. (1/2) #fundraising #grantmaking

Lord of the Flies is much more stressful than I remember! 🐚

Enjoyed my first game of Manatee Sanctuary. Cute and math-sy.

I know, I know, it's good for the workers... but Sunday trading hours are so frustrating. We're a secular nation.

Charities, are we soft-opt-in ready?! #DataUseAct www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/caution...

Watching the news or looking at your social media feed, it’s easy to believe that the UK is more divided than ever. The voices of those who seek to spread hate, harm our communities and separate us are loud.

Take a bit of time to go get some water please. 💧

I aspire to be THIS good at fundraising: www.facebook.com/share/p/1F6T... Look at the tributes pouring in to their JustGiving!

It's 2026 and we still refer to people as leads.

One of life's little joys. Seeing one of my succulents grow a shoot, ready to give me a succulent baby! 🪴

Is there anything more comforting than a warm buttery crumpet?

It's clear that the Green Party are the way to keep Reform out of Manchester. We are already on the ground in Gorton and Denton - and we are going to be campaigning for every single vote. A new Green MP representing the community. Let's go! Join.greenparty.org.uk

The atrocities of #Minneapolis are making me think of the Peterloo Massacre and Masque of Anarchy: 'Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you – Ye are many – they are few.’ 🦁💔🪧✊

Tonight, I have the privilege of being at the exhibition launch for Re/Assemble at People's History Museum: share.google/exju9zxnDhi9... It explores the 1988 Section 28 protest in Manchester and features new artwork commissions that respond to its legacy. Catch it while you can! 🪧

I've never been so glad to be back in Manchester 🐝

All it took was a two+ hour train delay to finally open a Word doc and get to work on that task I've been putting off for months... #procrastinate #productivity

I'm trying to go TV-free for January in an effort to shake up my habits. It's hard! I miss it. More than I expected. I am, however, crafting more, tidying more, and having more long baths.

Not at all surprised to hear Andy Burnham may run as an MP again, in a bit to pose a leadership challenge to Starmer 👀

When it feels like the pendulum is swinging backwards on social progress, safety and justice... I find myself looking at the parts of the world taking a leap forward, like Mexico. Far from perfect, I'm still in awe at what President Claudia Sheinbaum is doing to improve life for everyday Mexicans.

Eight is a lot of legs, David.
