✂ With apologies to my hospitality friends, but I first said a 10% VAT cut was a dumb idea 2 years ago (see link), because it's: 1. Expensive (£bns) 2. Inequitable (rewards big business, doesn't help small ones) 3. Bad for consumers (prices don't fall) Glad @danneidle.bsky.social also agrees!

Pope Leo: "Every boat that arrives does not bring only migrants; it brings with it a question: what world have we built, if so many brothers must risk death to seek life?"

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

The UK's information environment is becoming harder to trust, harder to navigate and easier to manipulate. Our new report sets out what needs to change—and why it has to happen before the next general election.

This is a welcome commitment from Andy Burnham. Would put an end to the recent spate of big money Reform donations from crypto billionaires bylinetimes.com/2026/06/10/a...

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes. I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly. Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce. Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

Claims that net zero is “bankrupting” our country show a profound lack of understanding about the workings of the UK economy. Hazel Cubbage explains how the UK can absolutely afford the urgent climate action needed.

Zack Polanski speaking at the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, "Well, I think first of all we need to start with free school meals for every child in this country, primary and secondary" "Second, a £15 minimum wage for all workers, no exceptions, not divided by age"

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

Still…. These two AIPAC apathetics refused to endorse The Mayor. They can’t read the room through the fog corporate money…..

Michael Palin's trips to places like Nigeria have shown him that the Western world needs to make more of an effort to see the world from different points of view.

What a complete fuck up. #Trump #FIFA The perfect storm.

A group of artists from our region shaped British landscape painting. Originally they met in a tavern to set up their Society. Not for them the London salons, but their influence lives on. Jay Světlík celebrates them.

Today, European Movement UK launched our new report, entitled 'Creating Culture Together: A Practical Reset for UK-EU Creative Cooperation'. The report argues for a practical reset for those whose work has been made harder, more expensive and less viable by Brexit red tape.

Let’s build a handful of single-storey straw houses in every country this year. People will then learn how superior this human scale technology is and next year we’ll get serious about climate action, building that what is necessary: etcbygg.se/nyheter/bild...

It's not rocket science (not even one of Jeff Bezos's self-destructing sort). That billionaires should pay a higher rate of tax is fair and reasonable. That they should pay the same rate as everyone else is the minimum requirement. That they don't pay any tax at all is an obscenity. Vote Green!

We need to cut all but essential uses of antibiotics to prevent the growth of untreatable disease. Reduction of antibiotic use in farming has been a success story in recent years. Now, moves to light touch regs + intensive farming threaten to undo progress. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

France bans bee-killing pesticides. Bees are the engine of our agriculture. Without them, our food supply is put at risk. Healthy soil and intact habitats form the foundation for true sustainability.

Brilliant! I wish @norfolkcc.bsky.social would learn from this.
