I read that as two cranes flew in - so Travelodge was a perfectly lo(d)gical response I thought. Actually would have been the same for crane flies - I’m scared of them and spiders….

Greens Organise co-chair, the brilliant Steve Jackson with a passionate pitch to socialists.

I joined about 2 months ago - looking for clear thinking, a voice for the firing left as well as a commitment to radical green thinking and policies…

I’m always amazed at how discombobulating #TheArchers can be. I’ve listened all my life and am still (mostly) gripped. Nobody’s ever just light relief….

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here “illegally” on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most to use takes cynicism to new heights. If Govt thinks such performative cruelty will see off Reform, they’re wrong - it’s more likely to strengthen it

It’s time to return to an article from @anandmenon.bsky.social and @jdportes.bsky.social from the time of the riots last summer on how to address the immigration issue

Fingers and toes crossed for you!

Well said Starmer- very good to hear some straight talking and even a touch of passion….

This woman knows what she's talking about, get her elected.

It was the darts that did it!

So good, so right, so true

Such a good article - reminds us that we must surely all strive to remain human and humane first and fundamentally…
