Many congratulations to Our MP @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social who has been appointed PPS to the Cabinet Office. In taking this new role he wants to support the government to deliver the progressive change that the country needs, and to do so much more quickly.

Well everyone knows he's far/ish left but the point of the article is the issues between the Greens proper and the new/younger recruits who have joined for different reasons. IMO charisma often plays a bigger part than policy especially with a charismatic leader like Polanski

If the Greens alienate their actual green members they could be exposed as just another populist/far left party no different from, say, "Your Party"😄 www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Excellent hard-hitting article by our Labour MP @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social on the abuses by Thames Water and what can be done ‘Labour must prove it understands public anger over water company failure – and act on it’ labourlist.org/2026/03/labo... – via LabourList

'Labour must prove it understands public anger over water company failure - and act on it' - LabourList
The public wants a system that treats water as a public necessity, not a private cash machine. It must be unambiguously public serving.

It's always amazed me that there's so much opposition to fox hunting, which at least has some rationale, and so little against shooting which causes such widescale suffering and senseless massacre and is mostly a pastime for the heartless rich.
