This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Thames Water has long passed its notice period. Labour can use its massive majority to nationalise it right now.

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Read the Green Party’s “Workers Charter”, launched at our May Day Rally by @zackpolanski.bsky.social Labour now take more money from corporations than unions, they watered down the employment rights act, and speak against striking workers. @greenparty.org.uk are the strongest party for workers.

Insane to have to post this but: Alcohol significantly inhibits the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the brain region responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and planning. This suppression reduces top-down control, leading to impaired judgment, reduced social inhibition, and cognitive deficits.

If the Greens win the by-election, all of the attention will be placed on how bad this is for Labour. You'll hear very little about Zack Polanski. If Reform UK win the by-election, all of the attention will be placed on giving Farage a hot stone massage. And it'll last for DAAAAYS. #GortonDenton

With the clocks going back an hour in the UK the evenings have really drawn in. As we get to the darkest days remember this is a time when those suffering with depression /MH conditions may take a dip. Check on them, make time in your day and share a cuppa. Be kind, listen with all your senses.

As Reeves travels to Riyadh to discuss trade, Saudi Arabia is in the middle of an execution spree. The UK must not cosy up to regimes with appalling human rights records. Trade deals can’t come at the cost of our values; our govt must not prioritise profit over human rights.

One of the most refreshing things about the Caerphilly by-election result was the stark contrast between voters’ actual views and mainstream media reporting or Reform’s social-media boosterism. Media, how about more genuine reporting instead of lazy output based on X’s biased algorithm?

Taxing wealth fairly is incredibly popular: 75% of the public support a wealth tax of 1% on assets above £10 million. Inequality is a huge threat facing our country - why won't the govt tackle it? Tax wealth, invest in communities, and build a fairer future for everyone.

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?
