We need bold leadership. Now. That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party. Join our campaign: backzack.com #BackZack

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

A MESSAGE FOR MPs. As a consultant clinical psychologist, I must be clear: this Green Paper will cost lives, deepen despair, and worsen inequality. Vote no to #DisabilityBenefits cuts.

Have I Told You Lately That I’m A Fascist? In lieu of freely available milkshakes, if anyone at #Glastonbury2025 could go and boo this prick, that would be much appreciated. Or just boycott.

No wonder he wanted to wake up Maggie.

On ITV talking about my Bill to change the law to license and regulate holiday lets. Launched last week, it would allow Local Authorities to stop homes being flipped into holiday lets. #York

The new plans for College Green look great. It'll take political and public pressure to get it done - the Greens will be backing it all the way. We can build a better Dublin: we just need to keep pushing for it!

I’m voting against disability benefit cuts because I oppose them, but the process by which this Bill is being rushed through without necessary information or adequate scrutiny, is reason enough for MPs to vote against it on Tuesday. This is not how we should make laws.

I won’t be watching the Rod Stewart set, fuck him.

Urgh .. Rod Stewart has seriously slumped in my esteem 😱🤬😤 www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/cul...

Political pressure means a reprieve for some who were set to be cruelly harmed, but this will leave Disabled people, young people and those who will become sick and injured in the future, high and dry - said @sianberry.bsky.social #PIP #DisabilityBenefits greenparty.org.uk/2025/06/27/l...

Greta Thunberg shrugged off Trump’s attempted disparagement with a jab right back at the bully President: “Considering the state of the world, I think we need many more angry young women.”

How many times can one be in front of a magistrate or convicted before you're deemed unfit to be a councillor ?! Exhibit A www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

"Does the minister agree that cutting these PIP payments simply pushes more disabled people further from living independently and also from employment?" ‪@helenmaguiremp.bsky.social

The conservation of the Gideon Tapestries at Hardwick Hall took 24 years to complete. Yes, that's right - 24 years!* They're huge. 72 meters long and 6m high. Plus, they're are one of the most ambitious tapestry sets of their time - the largest surviving set in the UK.

Edward Heath blocked US use of UK bases to defend Israel in 1973. Harold Wilson resisted US pressure to send troops to Vietnam. From the ’50s to early 2000s, the UK imposed full arms embargoes on Israel for breaking international law. We can choose not to be America’s poodle.

@goodplacejames.bsky.social Hi, James! I wanted to find you a cute animal video for Caturday. Have a nice weekend. 🙂

A million people marched against the illegal war in Iraq and they were right. Now the same script is playing out again. Same lies, same institutions, same push for war. We can’t let history repeat itself.

"Liberal Democrats will keep fighting to combat racism, inequality and discrimination in all its forms, because this is the best way to honour the Windrush generation's contribution to our country." Floella Benjamin and Josh Babarinde MP mark #WindrushDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxxW...

Zarah Sultana, "What we're seeing a re-rerun of the 2003 Iraq playbook" "The same institutions that told us it was right to go into Iraq are doing the same thing again" "This is wrong" "The UK should not be America's poodle in it's imperialist foreign policy"

BELFAST TELEGRAPH: Farage's unlikely role as a political peacemaker sparks intrigue in Ireland's future as he navigates a divide between unionism and nationalism. - by Lindy McDowell

Halton and Runcorn leaders are not happy with their new Reform MP. Crime commissioner Dan Price and Halton councillors Andrea Wall & Mike Wharton have taken aim at Runcorn MP Sarah Pochin, saying her string ‘incorrect and critical’ outbursts about the town are stoking fear.

Assisted dying set to become law in England and Wales after MPs pass bill

With some prominent Democrats and liberal pundits arguing for the party to try to win Elon Musk back to its side, you have to ask: Is American politics simply a matter of who can best kiss the ass of narcissistic reactionary billionaires?

40 years ago, the Love Boat featured a transgender character, and it turns out the character ends up treated better by the media then than a lot of what you see today. No calls for cancelling the program, no conservative media outcry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgkW...

With Kim Leadbeater’s leadership we have made history on dignity and choice for dying people. I am proud to be in a Parliament where we take these decisions with such care. An honour too to be one of the original sponsors of this Bill. More from Green MPs: greenparty.org.uk/2025/06/20/g...

Today, along with my fellow Green MPs, I voted yes to the Assisted Dying Bill at its third reading in the House of Commons. This was an issue of conscience, and I took this decision incredibly seriously. I've written here about the reasons for my vote: carladenyer.co.uk/my-vote-on-t...

Labour MPs backed assisted dying by 224 to 160 - see the full list here 🔽

Today I voted in favour of the assisted dying bill. Here’s why.

I listened carefully to assisted dying debate. Thanks to the many constituents, party members & groups who've shared moving experiences & evidence. I scrutinised the safeguards & decided to vote in favour. I believe people at the end of life have a right to choose how they die

I’ll be voting against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill today. This deeply sensitive issue demands rigorous safeguards and investment in palliative care to protect vulnerable people. My full statement here:
