With the warmest June on record and temperatures continuing to soar over this whole Summer, we need to think about how UK infrastructure can handle the heat, and how to halt the progress of climate change. The time to build a strategy is now.

Look, we’re not suggesting that Nigel Farage should donate his unconditional gift to Clacton. We are suggesting though, that it is time that the type of people who consider £5million to be pocket money that they could spend on multiple Ferraris, might need to start paying their fair share…

Nigel Farage and Reform plan to repeal the Employment Rights Act which would take away the right to protection from fire and rehire and zero-hours contracts. It’s strange that he’s taking his convictions this far, but it’s unlikely he’ll take a pay cut when he restarts the job…

Solidarity with our deputy leader @mothinali.bsky.social, who’s calling out the appalling Islamophobic abuse he’s faced from the right. Many politicians are complicit in whipping up this climate of hatred.
Screenshot of an article that reads:

Anti-Muslim hostility is being used as a political tool
By Mothin Ali

Can a brown Muslim in British politics ever expect the same basic respect as a white colleague? More and more, I fear the answer is no. We are living through a climate of hate that has been whipped up by Right‑wing influencers chasing clicks and politicians hunting for scapegoats.

In this environment, Muslims in public life become easy targets. We are constantly asked to prove ourselves. To prove our loyalty. To prove we belong. We are othered and scrutinised more than any other community. Yet we are woven into every part of British society. We are teachers, doctors, engineers, cleaners, taxi drivers – and, yes, politicians. We are part of what makes this country work – and what makes it great. So why are our loyalties constantly questioned? Why are we viewed through a lens of suspicion and treated as permanent outsiders?

For many people, this hostility is just something they see online, the work of anonymous trolls. But it is increasingly bleeding into real life. Recently, in London, a man told me to “f--- off back to where I came from” and threatened to smash my head in. I am not alone. Abuse directed at Muslims is being normalised.Article continues: 

‘We’re sliding backwards’
It wasn’t always this bad. I was born and raised in Sheffield. My father was a steelworker who worked his way up to become a crane driver. For a Bangladeshi immigrant back then, that was a big deal. Yes, there was racism. But working-class people came together in solidarity. We knew we had far more in common with one another than with the factory-owning bosses. And through the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, we became a less racist country. When living standards rose, people were harder to manipulate – and far less willing to be sold a scapegoat.

We are now sliding backwards. The establishment fears working-class solidarity. It threatens the power and wealth of those who benefit from keeping us divided. That is why figures in Reform and the Conservative Party spend so much time stoking culture wars. And why Labour politicians have jumped on the bandwagon – to distract voters from the fact they have failed to deliver the change they promised. Islamophobia has become a political tool.

Mothin Ali is the Green Party deputy leader

It wasn’t the racism. It wasn’t the rule breaking. It wasn’t the corruption. No Jenrick gets removed for plotting. Politics for too many leaders is just a game, and not a moral one. It’s why people are crying out for hope.

Polls suggest Greens could win 11 Senedd seats on 7 May-but winning real power takes all of us. Green MSs would hold power to account and fight for rent controls, publicly owned water, and properly funded services.

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike. Privatised water is a scam. I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

🎄 Just getting my last Xmas cards out there. ✍🏼 Dear cabinet....
Dear sir Keir, wishing you a very hopey Christmas. I wanted to wish you good luck with your relaunch in January. I heard you want to focus on three things. So here's my advice. Tax billionaires, cut bills, stop scapegoating migrants. Zack.Dear Wes, wishing you a very hopey Christmas. When you're not measuring the curtains in downing street, our hopes for you are that you can finally reduce NHS waiting lists in 2026 and stop taking donations from private healthcare. Peace and love, Zack.Dear Yvette, Christmas should surely be a time to think about peace - and the governments role in prosecuting those calling for it. Peace and love, Zack.

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population. The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined. Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.
Graphic with title: SHARE OF TOTAL WEALTH IN UK

There is a line at the bottom of the graphic that represents the UK population. Half of the line is coloured white and labelled '50% of the population combined'. An arrow points from this half of the line to a small pound sign labelled '4.6%' to represent that half of the UK population hold 4.6% of total wealth.

At the other end of the line, a small section in green is labelled 'Top 1%'. An arrow points from this section to a much larger pound sign labelled 21.3% to represent that the wealthiest 1% in the UK hold 21.3% of total wealth.
