Watching our politicians increasedly go to the politics of divisiveness like what happened across the pond is very, very worrying.

Hey Labour

Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?

We're still over here 👋

The problem with having no politics is that you sooner or later lead your party into a moral void.

The government won’t achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite and please remember this - the ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation
Labour’s plan risks weakening protections for all of us. Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to. It’s a slippery slope to oblivion youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...

I look at the bizarre, unhinged rants by Donald Trump and wonder how he ever managed to accumulate such power with such a weak grasp of reality.

Just seen Christian Amanpoure interviewing @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Getting his face around, isn’t he? Also finding myself agreeing with every single word that he is saying.

Zack Polanski on President Trump, "It's difficult to call him anything other than a fool"

"This is sociopathic behaviour"

"He is toxic, misogynistic, racist"

"I'm not a fan of Trump"

Christiane Amanpour, "It's pretty clear"

There is so much music out there. There is never not something to listen to. Marrying music and #mindfulness was one of the best things I ever did.

Great to welcome Andy Burnham @mayorofgm.bsky.social on our bus today.
We’re touring the country with our campaign to tax the super-rich to raise billions to invest in public services and reduce inequality.

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

I’ve always kind of found the right wing to be in inherently selfish. it’s the politics of me versus the politics of we. I want to be proven wrong. It’s not nice to think that roughly half of human beings feel this way.

Three points I keep repeating
1. Left and liberal voters actually really exist
2. The right and "centre" are trying to rule without liberals - they are way out over their skis
3. Reports of right wing total information control are greatly exaggerated
🧵/ How far does the public support net zero?

Support: 60%
Oppose: 25%

Net support by party
Green: +81
Lib Dem: +67
Lab: +64
Con: +11
Reform: -44

Donald Trump is coming for the BBC and for your wallets.

I urged the Prime Minister to stand up for the 23.8 million licence fee paying households, and tell Trump he won't get a penny.

The Prime Minister talks the talk on supporting an independent BBC, but he refuses to walk the walk.

Robbie Gibbs must go.

I hope with every fibre of my being that reform eventually implode. Or that the press finally hold him with the contempt that he deserves.

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Yes we've all felt immensely pissed off with the BBC from time to time

But it's clear that the attacks on it come from fascists and proto-fascists who want to shut down our powerful public-service broadcaster

For the sake of democracy we all need to defend the BBC as an institution

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10.

We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.
