MPs from across the House - including Andy Burnham, in a statement just last year - agree the time for proportional representation has come. We cannot afford to wait any longer to build a fairer democracy - the govt must bring in PR before the next general election.

Deary me. Caught in the act of corruption, blaming "the establishment" when he represents the very worst of wealth and power. Please, help me find my tiny violin... And in the meantime, let's reform our political system so our democracy is no longer tainted by big money.

Farage resigns as an MP only to stand again. He's hoping to wipe out any investigation into his dodgy funding. Rather than going through the scrutiny he deserves, he's about to cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands in order to bury any investigation.

The Green Party are the only party talking about our assets - like energy and water - being nationalised rather than continuing to make huge profits for the already very wealthy. Our mission stays the same. Replace Labour. Take on Reform.

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

At the heart of the Reform project are allegations of big money buying influence. They wrap themselves in the flag while selling our future. We can be in no doubt about what they'd do in power. They would rip apart our communities and serve their crypto paymasters.

Great to talk about the early evidence on Andy Burnham on BBC breakfast just now. Won't nationalise water companies. Sticking to Rachel Reeves disastrous fiscal rules. Refuses to recognise genocide. King of the North? Different latitude. Same politics.

Renewables generate 52.5% of UK electricity — yet the public still pays gas prices. £12.3bn a year that should stay in your pockets, not go to private profits. That's marginal pricing in action. Time to break the link between gas and electricity prices. Get involved:

Backsliding on climate would drive Labour into obscurity, Zack Polanski says
Debate in Labour and union movement over climate commitments as many call for Burnham not to allow drilling in North Sea * Analysis: ‘Act on the evidence outside the window’: Andy Burnham urged to stick to net zero targets if he becomes PM Backsliding on climate action would drive the Labour party into political obscurity, Zack Polanski has warned, as trade union leaders said more drilling in the North Sea would not help UK workers. The Green party leader, speaking to the Guardian as searing heat swept the country for the second time this year, urged Andy Burnham – widely expected to be the UK’s next prime minister – to be bold on climate justice. He said any move to water down the party’s commitments would have dire consequences at the ballot box. Continue reading...

It appears the government won't be satisfied until it has hounded trans people out of society altogether. The Government are choosing every moment and mechanism they can to demonstrate they don't care about their lives. We have to draw the line. Reject the framework.

Two articles in an hour where media headline misrepresents what I actually said. I’ve corrected them but I’m sure next headline will be I’m “thin-skinned” for doing so. So be it. The answer is to go around them: build power in our communities and speak to people directly.
