Different parties, same tired politics. They act like rivals but serve the same agenda. Only the Greens are offering real solutions for a fairer, greener future.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

The quality of Politicians everywhere in the Western World has plummeted in the last 50 years, because they no longer care about the voters. It's all about keeping the Billionaire Media and the Billionaire Donors happy.

I'm rewatching Andor, which I believe to be the best Star Wars artwork ever made, and I strongly suggest you consider (re)watching it as well. It is relevant to our moment in too many ways to count—not just all the obvious ones, and not just with respect to the protagonists but the antagonists also.

Reeves is right - the world has changed. So why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Obsession with arbitrary fiscal rules & ruling out wealth taxes is political choice that’s causing huge pain as well as laying out the welcome mat for populist Reform UK #SpringStatement

Disabled people across the country were already terrified of the impact Reeves's cuts will have on them - and now she's set to announce more? This is unconscionable. This government must change course immediately, and tax wealth to repair our broken economy.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.
