The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

A functioning legislature would impeach and remove a President acting the way Trump has been acting the past few days. He could be impeached and tried in an hour. Done. The Republican leadership in Congress are weak, dishonorable men who put a narcissist before nation. Shame on them all.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

If you want the ‘data is the plural of anecdote’ version of this argument, here’s an analysis of 138,962 earnings calls that comes to the same conclusion. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

On Trans Day of Visibility, our committee reflects on the day, and how this year it feels very different, in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, among other very well documented attacks on our community. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2026/03/31/r...

The lesson of the previous energy crisis: Price interventions have to stop ripple effects before they start. This is about buying time for emergency adjustments. European democracies cannot afford another round of falling real wages and war profiteering. @wsj.com Link: www.wsj.com/economy/glob...

but the USSR is not just a placeholder for contemporary political disputes. the USSR was a real place that really happened. *understanding* how it happened--how the bolsheviks succeeded, how it all went so wrong, and why it eventually fell apart--is not just a way to signal identity. it is USEFUL.

Prof Gabor asking the right questions

Utterly the wrong call. Step by step, this embroils us in an immoral, illegal, illogical war.

Gilt markets since yesterday's BoE hawkishness underscore the unfairness of this criticism of @zackpolanski.bsky.social. Absent alternative inflation-fighting mechanisms, a price shock means Bank Rate rises to deal with 'second-round' effects, and thus one gets higher gilt yields.

this is in no sense how it should have happened. but it is precisely because we find ourselves in a situation that requires war, death, and destruction to get well positioned political actors behind accelerating energy transition that we should demolish fossil capital as decisively as we can

There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?

The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.

This is the good Torah

If Reform won 'British born' vote w/ 28.7% of total voters then no more than 57.4% of voters were Bb. G&D census has 51.1% as 'White - Eng, Scott, Welsh, NI, or Brit', so presumably Bb. Farage's claim *possible* only if <13% of rest born in UK, which is absurd: ~60% of UK Pakistanis eg born here.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

Starmer's delusional copium: Galloway's party won 3766 votes in 2024 GE in Gorton & Denton; equivalent to 3792 votes yesterday given more voters. But Greens beat Reform by 4402 votes! Meanwhile, the percentage of voters choosing Labour halved, equivalent to 9364 votes. Just a ridiculous statement.

Freudenfreude >> Schadenfreude.

Five days left to apply for the finance summer school vol. 3 👇

Lyrics written by someone who attended the The London School of Economics, of course.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

All three of my employers have made the list!

"Judges swear an oath to 'do right to all manner of people after the laws and usages of this realm, without fear or favour, affection or ill will.' All manner of people and without fear or favour. We need to tell them that trans lives are real and they matter."

This. Honestly I think the economic impact of ICE on Minnesota is just ramping up, and for people living in fear nothing has changed. ICE are still here breaking stuff, hurting people, and violating the 4th Amendment and most driving rules. Minnesota Forever. Abolish ICE.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Something compelled me to make this

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

This is a fascinating, if depressing, read.

10/10 ICE protest sign

I'm not on here too much these days, things have been a little busy 👀🤭 But the love and support I'm feeling on here is incredible. Being a woman, in politics, online is often utterly grim. So thank you to everyone who has my back. It means the world 💚

I am staggered to find Weingast still peddling this line in early 2025. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Absolutely mad.

Today, and every day, the Green Party stands with LGBTIQA+ people 💚🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🟢 Been sent this this morning - big turnout as the Green Party kick off their campaign with their first weekend of leafleting and door knocking. Host of Green figures there today including Zack Polanski, Caroline Lucas, Rachel Millward and lots of local councillors

Just finished first door knocking for the Greens. Honestly most hopeful I’ve felt about politics in a while. Felt good to not just sit watching the world burn (as I’ve been feeling the last months) and instead try to do doing something with others (even if very small)

Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?

An Independent councillor on Reigate & Banstead Borough Council has crossed the floor to join the Green Party. Cllr Jenny Orchard, who represented Redhill West and Wray Common as a Town & Village Independent, will now sit as a Green councillor, increasing the size of the Green group to 14.

Look if Minnesota is the hub then it's a Purple Revolution.

Zack Polanski delivered a letter to data surveillance company Palantir stating aim to end the company’s £330m contract with NHS. We are putting Palantir on notice, This is a military surveillance company tied to authoritarian surveillance and the devastation in Gaza — and it has no role in our NHS.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

just to make that clear for the rest of the world, that's -9 degrees *fahrenheit.* -23 degrees *celsius*.
