As all.other social media is a right wing toilet, I thought I'd give this a go. I love all things fantasy and sci fi, motor racing, 90s music, LFC, computer and board games, bottomless brunches and walking yappy dogs. Oh, I also do cancer research

I don't think anyone expected him to say anything better. But he'd probably have been better maintaining his usual silence. Iran were negotiating - when Israel launched a war on them. The US joined in - and now our Prime Minister basically says "well they were asking for it.'

In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq. Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes. Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same. The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.

Keir Starmer wants to talk about disgraceful? Try standing with Netanyahu during a genocide. Arming Israel. Sharing intelligence. Refusing to rule out joining an illegal war. That’s the real disgrace.

The BBC are going with Muslim grooming gangs propaganda AGAIN. Most of the grooming gangs in the UK are white you enabling tossers. Go fuck yourselves

Just spoke to Jim Diamond at LBC about the need for a wealth tax. Rachel Reeves has made her own self imposed fiscal rules. It's obscene to be squeezing international aid & development at the same time as spending money on more bombs.

Chancellor talks about energy security but yet again - just another way of funding private capital. What about investing in renewables & nationalising our energy companies? What about energy efficiency & prioritising insulating homes of poorest households? Bring bills down. #SpendingReview

More funding for the NHS is always welcome. But this doesn't look like enough. And slashing local services which keep us healthy is a classic example of only treating symptoms, not the cause.

Tax the rich.

Just so.

End the hostile environment. Migrants welcome and tax the rich. That’s why we’re building power in communities and at Westminster. That’s how we win.

Your regular reminder 👇 🏥 81% want publicly owned NHS 🏫 78% want publicly owned schools 💧 73% want publicly owned water 🚂 70% want publicly owned rail ✉️ 70% want publicly owned mail 🚍 67% want publicly owned buses 💡 65% want publicly owned energy

Privatised water monopolies have failed, clearly and catastrophically - and it's customers and the environment that are paying the price for shareholder profits. It's long past time to bring water back into public hands, where it belongs.

In the Chamber today I challenged the govt’s so called “defence” spending plan—a whopping £15 billion on nuclear weapons that must never be used. That money could be used to deliver real security: affordable housing, strong public services, climate resilience, and pandemic preparedness.

Tax the rich. The polluter should always pay. It's about fairness.

We’re building a movement Everyday more people are joining the Green Party. And with the right leadership more MPs will too.

We need to make the Labour Government more scared of losing votes and seats to the Green Party than to Reform. I'm in this week's @bigissue.com talking about how we can make this happen. 1/2

What do I mean by eco-populism? In @theindependent.bsky.social 👇🏽 #BackZack www.independent.co.uk/voices/green...

Keir Starmer won't protect nature. He won't protect the NHS. But he'll do anything to protect the wealth of the super rich.

Really grim to hear Mayor Sadiq Khan repeatedly refusing to support the need for universality in winter fuel payments. Likely an under estimate but 13.2% of Londoners last year were living in fuel poverty. What's the point of the Labour party?

Big tech companies want to be able to 'train' their AI models on creative content without the permission of creators. This threatens the livelihoods of the UK's creatives. Labour must not sell out the UK's creative workforce so a few big companies can profit.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social why do you keep giving reform so much coverage and the @greenparty.org.uk barely anything? They have the same number of MPs. Are you pro-facist?

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins
