‘He’s joined Reform, you’re still a Conservative…’ ‘Wow, you’ve called me on to ask me about my husband!’ Suella Braverman declines to comment on any ‘uncomfortable conversations around the dinner table’ after Rael Braverman joins Nigel Farage’s party. Tom Swarbrick

Thanks Industry and Parliament Trust for interesting morning talking housing, biodiversity & remediation of brownfield sites (& fascinating tree nursery you can see behind us) The Green Quarter

NEW: Sadiq Khan can’t guarantee the Met won’t need to cut officers despite £65m extra from govt next year. Commissioner warned last week as many as 2,300 need to go. The Mayor tells me now “a lot of frontline officers will be protected” but can’t be solved with 1 budget. LBC

Just think, if we stopped burning oil like we do, not only would we reduce these horrible pollution incidents, but we would instantly tefice the anointing of shipping by 40%. Yes, 40% of shipping is there just to carry oil from one port to another.

Our government has stopped these 2 children from being reunited with their parents for over 5 months because they are worried OTHER people might throw their children into boats on their own. Parents aren't that disgusting, governments yes. #racism theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/d…

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

NEWS "Badenoch says Farage is FAKING Reform UK numbers" Badenoch (computer hacker) has team watching Reform ticker numbers & accused Farage of saying “anything for cheap media hits” & “manipulating” his own supporters. Two charlatans eh? Please do RT 😂 liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/farag…

Lee Anderson MP Are prisons overcrowded with Farage supporters?

Just been doing some wandering through Sheffield history, which leads me to highlight the poet Joseph Mather, a working class poet who composed a Jacobin national anthem – ‘God Save Great Thomas Paine’ proletics.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/the…

Farage should have been asked about this - he should be forced to own it ⁦Laura Kuenssberg⁩ European Movement UK (on BlueSky)

Farage’s refusal to condemn Musk’s outrageous statements shows total unfitness for public office. But he’s never held to account & whole Laura Kuenssberg interview allowed to be on his terms. No focus on Reform’s divisive policies & no effective challenge to his dangerous insinuations

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect the climate, by putting an end to new oil and gas projects. Will you join me in signing the petition? stopcambo.org.uk/p/no-new-oil?s…

I've been shocked by the outrageous smears being pushed by Elon Musk - not least against one of The Green Party's hardworking councillors Mothin Ali. We must stand up to this right-wing billionaire's attempt to subvert our democracy - here's how: politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

Foreign billionaire telling us to evict Starmer and elect a fascist Trump not ruling out military action to take over sovereign countries Meanwhile, California burns and Greenland ice melts into the rising sea. Standing up to rich bullies is the key to humanity's survival 

Labour is entirely under the thumb of the house building industry. In my neighbouring borough, in order to keep up with targets, would need to concrete over 1km sq every 5 years. Remind me the definition of sustainable? Where will this land come from? Farmers land sole to pay IHT

So why doesn't the LibDem council fine Thames Water for fly tipping the sewage waste. They have the authority but choose not to. They prefer to have photo ops and blame TW. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’m still hoping this isn’t true. In what world would a Labour Government want to scupper the one Bill that brings climate & nature restoration together, increases ambition & generates good jobs & security in every constituency? ⁦Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social⁩ theguardian.com/environment/20…
