We shouldn't have to cut our working hours or cut back on essentials to make ends meet. By expanding childcare we can save families £10,000 per child. We're pledging: 🟢570 hours of funded childcare for every child from 6 months to 2 years 🟢1140 hours for all 2 year olds

Scottish Greens will deliver free flexible childcare for all children aged 6 months to 2 years. Let's demand better. On May 7th vote Scottish Greens.

2,400 artists in NYC got $1,000 per month in basic income for 18 months beginning in 2022. Same as in Ireland, the results were overwhelmingly positive. Artists spent more time on their art and became more satisfied with the quality and impact of their work. DO UBI source.washu.edu/2026/04/guar...

However, we also found that the program improved participants’ artistic output, including the time they could dedicate to their art and their satisfaction with the quality and the impact of their work.”

‘What art could we produce as a society if our artists could invest more time and money in their craft?’

Stephen Roll
The GI program was found to reduce financial stress and debt; increase artists’ ability to invest time in their art; increase motivation and productivity; and improve mental health, while showing no reduction in other sources of income.

Thankfully Trump has climbed down for now. We've seen once again exactly who Keir Starmer & this Labour Government are. Silent - other than the Wireless Festival - even in the face of the US president threatening to wipe out a civilisation. And our UK bases still being used.

Donald Trump has threatened that Iran’s 'whole civilisation will die tonight'. This is incredibly alarming. These threats normalise mass civilian harm, and makes an already volatile situation even worse Starmer must condemn Trump’s rhetoric and urgently review and remove US access to UK airbases.

International cooperation can provide incentives and disincentives and punish noncompliance but ultimately the state has to be able to regulate itself. Only the people who make up their institutions of state can force leaders to comply.

If I went online to say I was going to bring about the death of a civilisation, I’d quite rightly expect the police at my door. He gets away with it because holding him to account would mean the use of force. That works against me – the state can enforce the law – but how do you enforce against him?

All countries between the US and Iran should shut down their airspace- deny landing rights, overflights, refueling or any other support for these explicit genocidal operations. Ideally, US military would refuse illegal orders and Congress would intervene- but that’s not happening. So, world must act

Journey time reliability - another reason why “the motorist”, aka people who drive (and travel in other ways too), may actually get behind 55mph limits on motorways, especially if it also means fewer crashes and less lethal outcomes.

Reform UK; complicit, billionaire-owned media outlets; offshore money. They all want one thing - deregulation. It’s not even political. They don’t care about politics. They care about profit. They want low regulation to maximise profit, and they don’t care how that happens.

“Where’s the money coming from?” National budgets can’t be usefully discussed in terms of simple, back of an envelope calculations. This is false, and it’s insulting to imply that such over-simplification is needed for voters to understand. Here’s what I understand: that’s not how any of this works.
