What a wonderful endorsement that definitely couldn't have also been said about the tories.
I don't think me following Ian on this website will fix Labour being terrible
😳
On social media… not so much
I expect politicians who have supported things in opposition to follow it up with actions when they get power
Is that unreasonable?

On the other we’ve been importing species (which also migrate) for 100’s probably 1000’s of years so how indigenous are the indigenous species anyway?

I bet everyone who wants to protect them already have a house!

I wonder whether Keir Starmer will survive the local elections in May?
Perhaps he will do a Liz Truss and sack his Chancellor first and then he will be chucked out by his party a few days later?

There's nothing on expanding the economy so as to create funding for public services. Apart from the prime minister's rather lame letters going out asking people if they have any ideas. (Point 14).
And they got ZERO replies.
No. 14 The Prime Minister, asking for “pro-growth” proposals just gives the impression that he has no ideas himself.
1. CCS which has never been rolled out at scale because it’s really energy intensive! UN Sec-Gen has described it as green washing
2. Sacrifice wildlife. UK already the most nature depleted country https://stateofnature.org.uk
1. She is not fit for office
2. She is a vile person
3. #RedTory #uklabour are as evil and nasty as the last lot who were in power
I’m sure she’s not but that seems to be the honest public perception. A clown in waaaaaaayyyy over her head, but, somehow, still managing to hold a very senior position. Incompetence suckling on the WM gravy train.
To be fair, all kinds of political commentators keep saying that the left need to use this kind of language to match the right. Let's see…
