On this International Women's Day, I want to honor some of the bravest women in the world:
The victims of child sex abuse who spoke out against very powerful men like Jeffrey #Epstein, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew & a huge pedophile ring.
Your strength is amazing!

Almost all the cultural spaces and restaurants I've been in recently have switched to gender neutral toilets. It's indicative of how Labour's rabid hatred of trans people feels bizarre to so much of civil society which is asking itself, 'what drugs is Labour on, and how do we ban those?'

Great Britain has only two days of gas stored, while Iran war threatens to disrupt supplies National Gas insists storage broadly in line with levels for time of year despite disruption for tankers carrying LNG

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.

Maximum capacity is 12 days.

Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.

UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Don’t let the anodyne name fool you – this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in our…

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMissionπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I can't see Labour pulling itself out of this nosedive
Too much self-inflicted damage done
Gone too far right to recover now
The local elections in May will be where cold hard reality finally comes up to meet them
... and the Green Party will replace Labour

Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.

UK recruiter emerges from insolvency for third time, avoiding millions owed in tax Hampshire business seems to have benefited from β€˜phoenixism’, which costs the taxpayer about Β£800m a year

UK recruiter emerges from insolvency for third time, avoiding millions owed in tax.

Companies run up debts, declare bankruptcy, debts shed, new company formed with same management/owners ... rinsed and repeated.

HMRC loses Β£836m a year. Creditors, including SMEs, lose millions.

"It's performative cruelty."

@rachelmillward.bsky.social speaks to Sky about Labour's lurch to the right on asylum policy - and why the Green Party is focused on real solutions to the cost of living instead.

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people β€” and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.
