It's staggering how fast democracy in the USA has imploded. My only hope is that it will act as a warning to all the rest of us and we'll be alert to the damage done by the political con artists in society. It really is time to join @greenparty.org.uk and combat the lies.

Exploited migrant farm workers in UK paid for picks, not hours. Workers not paid for in-work travel, time spent moving between workstations, team meetings, receiving instructions on equipment use. Employers violating employment rights. Need effective enforcement, not deregulation.

I've walked under these beautiful trees in #Falmouth almost every day for nearly 25 years. Have we learned nothing from the wanton felling of street trees in Sheffield & Plymouth? Do consider signing the petition if you're local. chng.it/DjhXqwLbwP

Labour let the last Tory Govt pass repressive anti protest laws. Some of us Peers tried to stop the worst measures with a Fatal Motion I tabled, but Labour refused to support it. Now in power, they are happy to use these laws against us.

It seems that, to save our food and agriculture sector, Labour have accepted we must follow some EU rules This is just sensible pragmatic politics But we shouldn't be following laws we haven't been involved in making Which is why we need full EU membership www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

At this point can we just agree they are trying to legitimise the fucked up things they do/want to do? "Pro-life" has never been about life. It's always about power, exerting it over others, and that is exactly the mentality which leads those people to justify attacks on women in the first place.

Fresh from flattering Trump & the MAGA fascists in Washington last week, Nigel Farage is coming to #Cornwall in search of money & votes. Farage has done nothing but harm to Cornwall & now means to do more. Cornwall Green Party is calling out the con. cornwall.greenparty.org.uk/farage-is-in...

Today will be sunny, the temp rising to 12°, so breakfast soon, then to allotment to trim the rest of the raspberry bushes and tidy as much as possible after winter winds have blown things around. Partner has suggested he makes (our) leeks in cheese sauce. Then listening to footie. Happy days 2/2

Yesterday my partner and I celebrated 27 years together, both of us saying 'who'd have thought?'. We had lunch in a pub, with local beer, then home for me to make jam from last year's frozen damsons. #MakingTheMostOfAWeekOfRecess 1/2

UK banks paid “advance commissions” to car dealers, encouraged them to push costlier loans to consumers. Now banks face a possible compensation bill of £44bn, which govt is trying to obstruct. Anything that banks have not mis-sold, as execs chase bonuses but bear no responsibility.

💚🇺🇦 Now is the time to stand with Ukraine and against the authoritarianism represented by the likes of Trump, Farage and Putin.

What an oaf!! Trump is descending into astounding pettiness. He's saying 'you are with me or against me', and has gone way beyond playground bully. This is mafioso style behaviour.

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. You’ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country 👏

Dear men of the world, I wrote this because I know too many men who still think it’s weird to have conversations with each other about how we feel. It isn’t weird or weak, it is stronger and better to be open and talk. We are all going through something. www.wildway.info/p/how-garden...

I wrote this in July for @bylinetimes.bsky.social Supplement. The Axis of fascist kleptocracy has taken shape even more quickly than I feared then. Trump is now working actively with Putin to destroy democracy and the rule of law in Europe. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/fascism-re...

Labour has repeatedly stumbled in its first 6 months—from backtracking on winter fuel support to refusing to scrap the two-child benefit cap. We’ve seen a mess of policies with no real action where it’s needed. We sat down with the Mirror to discuss it all. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I don't think people here have forgotten the murder of Andrei Litvinenko nor the chemical weapons attack in Salisbury that killed one British citizen, left others gravely ill & recklessly risked the lives & health of hundreds.
