My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

What would the Green Party do at the Budget?
💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering
🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands
🏠 Give councils the power to control rents
🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all
Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Bringing back PFI to our NHS would be harmful to patients.
“Like a family using a payday loan to buy their home, yes, we’d end up with a building, but we’ll have to sacrifice meals to keep up with the payments.”
MPs are against those plans. Time to drop them, Wes Streeting.

We should not rest until the last foodbank closes due to lack of demand
The fact we have any food banks is the best indicator that wages have been flatlined as corporate profits surge. our system is broken and needs a re-set. .GOV should not need to top up folks wages and folk should not need charity to eat in the 21st century. We've gone wrong somewhere.

Workers pay National Insurance on their wages, which reduces their take-home pay. But people who live off investment income, from stocks, property, or other assets, pay no equivalent tax.

It's not all about "donations" aka bungs, its the hidden connections that surprise. Staff secondments, partners of MPs or hosting Parliamentary functions for interest groups all reveal how corrupt the system really is.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
