Which says EVERYTHING you need to know about her and her lickspittle boss.

"Outlining his bold vision for raising billions of pounds, Green Party leadership hopeful Zack Polanski pulled no punches." #BackZack www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zac...

Labour's Stella Creasy, who has been an MP for 15 years, called on the PM to scrap the two-child benefit policy as it would take '350,000 children out of poverty overnight' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

An apology to Keir Starmer:

The government need to delink electricity from gas so that consumers can benefit from the true price of renewable energy @greenjennyjones.bsky.social While the government lacks the imagination to bring down bills, do agree with more public transport

Guess we could just accept massive inequality and poverty... Or we could start taxing the richest 1% so we can invest in public services and help those struggling to pay rent, feed their families and heat their homes 🌍

What would the energy companies hate? If we didn't need them anymore.

Good old @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social, back on his shit "protecting women" again. £100m promised for maternity safety *annually* after Shrewsbury & Telford NHS delivered dangerous care. But Wes has changed it so only £2m is guaranteed now. Bet his private health mates get the rest. #Labour

Why isn’t there a “coalition of the willing” to stop the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza?

Also shout out to the wonderful woman in the coffee shop who timed her very kind comments whilst I was with a journalist! 💚🥰

I'm not a Green voter (don't live in England - although I joined the Green Party in 1988!), but I do think this is correct. We need less, much less, kowtowing to corporations.

Sea shanty concert last night. Sloop Groggy Dogs at the Bedford Corn Exchange in aid of the RNLI and others. Great singers and really enjoying themselves. The packed audience joined in with great enthusiasm. This was their display at the front of the stage. Love the seagull.

NDAs can silence victims of abuse & harassment. Let's change this! Sign the petition to ensure the Employment Rights Bill bans NDAs in cases of misconduct. #StopAbusiveNDAs #EmploymentRightsBill you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

🎥 Watch our crew in action (1/2) Our volunteers were paged recently to help two first-time paddleboarders who were blown a mile out to sea by strong offshore winds in #Brighton. No lifejackets. No experience. Both were rescued and taken to hospital as a precaution.

Coming up at the Corn Exchange Bedford. Enjoy this night out and help the RNLI

Stephen Flynn from the SNP: "55% of kids in poverty in Scotland, someone in their households got a disability, and how do you possibly get those kids out of poverty if you're taking even more money from the disabled people who support them?"

So Nigel Farage has replaced Boris Johnson as the MP trousering the most money from other jobs. Farage has pocketed over £570,000 in outside income in just six months. I brought a Bill to ban all MPs' Second Jobs. I'll keep pushing to end this racket once and for all.

The Vietnamese allied with US to fight Japan. USA gave their country to France. Iran had a democratically elected prime minister. He wanted to nationalise oil. USA replaced him with the Shah & his secret police. The people in desperation turned to Islamic extremists. It has always been America 1st.

well done my MP Lee Barron www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/...

My full statement on today's Spring Statement: #WelfareNotWarfare

🌍 "Labour’s ‘red lines’ on its relationship reset with the European Union, including no return to the Single Market or the EU Customs Union, must now be revisited and revised. The reasons why will not have escaped the Chancellor’s notice, even if she does not want to look in their direction."

Spring Statement: Labour needs to be honest with the public about the need for tax rises. Its caution is suffocating us inews.co.uk/opinion/labo...

My government has a choice: stand with private equity firms raking in billions from our water - or stand with ordinary people and bring it back into public hands. The privatised water experiment has failed, everyone sees it. 82% of Brits want water back in public hands. #water #sewagecrisis

We understand the news about welfare cuts might feel overwhelming and scary right now. Please know you’re not alone. We’re fighting hard behind the scenes to challenge the government’s decisions. If you’re struggling, need support, or just need someone to talk to, we’re right here with you 💙📞

RNLI collection today at Tesco Extra Cardington Road Bedford. We always enjoy collecting at this store and we’re hoping there will be lots of customers coming into the store today.

My ex had some fairly unpleasant views about 'illegals' and 'boat people', one of the many reasons he's an ex, so when we split up I commemorated our relationship by donating to RNLI. His name is now written on a lifeboat based on the south coast.

🚨NHS dental charges to rise by 2.3% from 1 April 2025. These are stealth cuts, that won't put an extra penny into a service on the brink. Send a message to Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting. 👉 https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/scrap-the-nhs-dentistry-price-hike

I hope the right wing nutters who trashed the RNLI reflect on their stupidity as they watch coverage of the collision in the North Sea. The RNLI and their volunteers represent the country at its best.

Some in Labour HQ may want to reflect on this - here’s a policy which has drastically improved air quality, benefitting the poorest citizens. But Starmer’s LOTO started criticising it because a couple of Clarkson bigmouths complained in focus groups & they (wrongly imho) blamed it for Uxbridge loss

Different way to spend an evening? Book for this sea shanty concert by the Sloop Groggy Dogs. Bedford Corn Exchange 7.30pm on the 25th of April. It should be an amusing night out and at the same time you'll be supporting the Lifeboats as RNLI will receive a third of the income from this event.

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism" Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?" Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

This is fundamental. We can't ignore the simple fact that someone going through this process is dying - we can't fill someone's final six months with bureaucracy and hurdles.

It's grim, but we're a rich continent with big strengths, and defending Ukraine and the rest of us against ageing, corrupt, sclerotic Russia is essential and eminently doable.

Together we're pushing back against GB News - and it's working: crowdfunder.co.uk/stop-gb-news Thanks so much again to everyone who's supported and shared so far!

If we could power the National Grid from Reform hypocrisy then we’d be set for life. It’s not just their hypocrisy which is staggering, but the sheer stupidity of their policies which would undermine Britain’s energy security and make us far more dependent on Putin’s Russia.

Great news! @labourlewis.bsky.social Water Bill will have its first debate on 28th March. This is our unmissable chance to put public ownership of water back on the table. Ask your MP to be there and back the Bill: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-... ​

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

Posting footage of deportations impresses no one. Reform voters don’t think it’s enough hatred and the rest of us turn away from yet more performative cruelty. The Labour vote disintegrates. If Labour can’t decide who it should be talking and listening to, then it ends up without an audience.
