Tory austerity. Now Labour austerity. Still austerity. Let's stop making nonsense rules and actually fund public services.

If you have to be the far-right to beat the far-right, they have won. I would have thought this was blatantly obvious.

🤦‍♂️ So Labour are making ads boasting about deportations, with Reform-style branding. Why are Labour trying to be like Farage and his mates? If only the Government put as much effort into creating a fast, fair and dignified asylum system.

Why is building a third Heathrow runway with all the implications extra air traffic has for net zero targets seen as more of a growth driver than, I don't know, connecting our big cities with proper rail networks?

Recommending privatisation for the NHS crisis is like recommending alcohol for a hangover. Sure, it will offer a slight temporary reprieve - but it has serious long term implications.

Great blog by @shaunspiers1.bsky.social @green-alliance.org.uk on why new roads and runways will not have the economic growth impact some might expect... greenallianceblog.org.uk/2025/01/23/f...

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

UK's carbon footprint has fallen by only 0.6% a year since 1996. Our supposed progress is a convenient illusion. Without the Climate & Nature Bill to drive serious action now, then despite good intentions from many MPs, it'll be more of the same. #CANBill MPs please vote for our future tomorrow🙏

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

UK Govt ousts UK competition watchdog chair. Failed to convince Govt that he was sufficiently focused on growth. All regulators conflicted. Should they protect customers, hold abusers to account or turn a blind eye and promote growth of corporate power? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Carers save the state huge sums of money. Until they receive at least minimum wage for all the hours they work, fining them is immoral.

Expanding airports is an issue of inequality. The wealthiest 1% are responsible for 50% of global aviation emissions. But it's our working class communities who are paying with noise, pollution & climate impacts.

It says a lot about British politics that it is seen as completely unacceptable to discuss amending the triple lock on pensions rising - but the idea of cutting unemployment and disability benefits is roundly welcomed and even celebrated

Might be one of the most important, urgent things I've ever written: 50% of social care spending is on disabled people, but that part of the mounting care crisis is completely ignored www.theguardian.com/uk/commentis...
