We don't see any reason why landlords and lawyers shouldn't pay the same tax rate as their tenants and clients.

Solidarity with Zack. I can't imagine what it's like trying to have a difficult, nuanced, grown up conversation about an incredibly serious issue and while being constantly shouted at in that way. It's a nightmare just watching.

Only 30 minutes until @abigaildisney.bsky.social joins @oxfamifis.bsky.social to kick off our joint event: Extreme wealth—How much is too much? A new measure for better economies, democracies and societies. Watch the livestream here: www.worldbank.org/en/events/20...

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive. People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

Rachel Reeves has a golden opportunity to reduce inequality and properly fund public services through a wealth tax on the super rich. The politics of austerity have failed our communities and pushed millions into poverty.

In any discussion of food and farming, unless your solution can be scaled to feed 8 billion people, you shouldn't be taken seriously. Unfortunately, cottagecore fantasies that would feed only the richest consumers, leaving billions to starve, are all too common. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

Good morning 😊 A great day ahead, starting with meeting families for our Open Morning, then teaching and ending with watching a school football fixture 👍🏽 Working in schools can be hectic and unpredictable, but also lots of fun 😊 Have a wonderful 🧡 Wednesday people

“The UK stands at a crossroads. Are we going to be a nation that respects its human rights obligations, or are we going to abandon them whenever the rightwing press demands it? First immigrants, then trans people – who next, Sir Keir?” – Jo Maugham (@goodlawproject.org) https://goodlaw.social/icp3

We’ve exposed “Crisis Pregnancy Centres”. These centres use misinformation & stigma to try to stop you from having an abortion. These centres are just 1 part of a rapidly growing network of organisations that want to take away the rights of women & LGBTI people. amn.st/63320AInXy

📈 Rents are soaring... 📉 but housing support isn't keeping up. This is leaving people facing homelessness, or living in cold, mouldy, unsafe homes. It's so wrong. We're calling for urgent action to properly support people to access the homes they need. 💚

Both knife crime and homicides are falling in London. This is thanks to our record funding in the Met, targeted police action and vital prevention work through London’s VRU. But there is still much more to do, which is why we won’t let-up in our work to build a safer London for everyone.

Hate has no place in London. Now more than ever, we must unite to build stronger, kinder communities. My London – the London I’ll keep standing up for – is a city where diversity is a strength to be celebrated, not a weakness to be hidden.

“When crops are burned for fuel, new land can be needed to grow new crops for food or fuel. This can lead to indirect land clearance and deforestation. Staggeringly, biofuels globally therefore today emit 16% more CO₂ emissions than the fossil fuels they replace.”

"Whether you agree with Zack Polanski or not it is important to have a different view articulated as effectively as some of the radical right have been doing. "Potentially it helps rebalance the scales a little bit in everyday media discourse" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/zack...

If Mahmood wanted to tackle declining in trust in politicians a good step would be being honest about immigration. It isn't migration which is the issue, it's the misinformation demonising migrants which surrounds it. Europe's border policies already cost lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Wishing you a peaceful night... ♥️

​The sheer nerve of @annadillon.bsky.social to make such a familiar landmark this irresistible. Her viewpoint from Ivinghoe Beacon (at the end of The Ridgeway, looking toward the Whipsnade Lion) has never looked so captivating. Honestly, she leaves us breathless at every climb.

Every day in every way this government reminds me why I shouldn't vote Labour again. They've lost the plot!

We are building a mass, democratic party from the ground up. Get involved at a regional assembly near you, and take Your Party into your hands.

Our Chief Executive @ruthcurtice.bsky.social spoke to the Treasury Select Committee today about the role a wealth tax could play in addressing our key fiscal challenges as a country ⤵️

Last week we held another People’s Forum in Islington North, this time to discuss the alarming erosion of civil liberties and freedoms. Our community has always stood together against injustice at home and abroad. We will continue to defend the right to protest!

Carolin Lucas, "The level of disgust and distrust in the population is like nothing I've ever seen before" "It's really dangerous and scary" "It's so important there is a voice out there offering hope and solutions and isn't afraid to say what it thinks"

People are being shut out of politics. Your Party has a radical plan to change that: by forging a mass, democratic party from the ground up. Read my piece for @theguardian.com here: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The boy talks about his Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age on RTE here tinyurl.com/k3enkrv9 It's 25.29 minutes it. Give it a listen, why dont you! Why WAS the occult such a craze between WW1 and 2? And who were the occultists?

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich. But we can change that. Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.

🎉 We've done it. We've passed 100,000 Green Party members! 📈 But we're not stopping there. 💚 Let's make hope normal again! Join the Green Party today!

In the UK we have Keir -island of strangers- Starmer, whose government is driving right wing anti immigrant and asylum seeker policies In Spain, Pedro Sánchez is not only celebrating diversity, they're embracing and speaking positively about immigrants

Reminder: no one is safe until everyone is safe. And Americans are now significantly less safe

In an exercise held in the UK, the Nepali Army won the gold medal. In this exercise, participants from 33 countries had to cover a distance of 60 kilometers within 48 hours while carrying weapons and 32 kg of equipment.

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...

Wayland's Smithy, looking due West. I am looking forward to re-shooting this once the leaves have all gone.

The least surprising news ever. But also thank you to @robevansgdn.bsky.social & @direthoughts.com for shining a light on how two Silicon Valley lobbyists have joined forces to advance their billionaire-funded techno-accelerationist agenda into the heart of UK govt.

‘I deserve to heal’: freed British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah on his prison ordeal and next steps

Who knew 🤷‍♂️

The privatisation of water has been a disaster and continues to rip-off millions of customers whilst handing obscene bonuses to shareholders. It's time to take it into public hands, bring down bills and protect our rivers and oceans.

1/1. After the Ruins by Hugh Clout was a book I studied for my First World War exhibition back in 2018. I was interested in learning how land can recover after war. Hugh's research focused on Northern France after WW1. 92% of homes in Gaza have been destroyed & over 60% of their infrastructure.

This is all authors. Unless we post about our books, you don't know they exist. And unless happy readers recommend us, our books die. And we don't eat. There is no "marketing dept". Algorithms favour the megastars, so they're no help. Anyway. I'm sorry for being repetitive. I have no option.
