I support Palestine Action in its judicial review of the government's ban.

spectacular

Super excited about the @neonuk.bsky.social Summer Gathering on Sat.

I'm chairing a sesh on the future of Net Zero with @tessakhan.bsky.social, Hannah Martin and Mat Lawrence which should be great.

Full programme is below and last few tickets available here: www.eventbrite.com/e/neon-summe...

I'm not sure "if you think about it, cuts to disabled people's benefits are basically the same kind of thing as minimum wage rises & free school meals" is a line that's really going to fly

(from today's London Playbook)

The UK govt softened tax reforms on the superrich because of a widely reported “exodus” of millionaires fleeing the UK.

Our new study w/ @patmillsuk.bsky.social & @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social shows that the "exodus" was a complete fiction.

As I was saying last night @lbc.co.uk, AUKUS is a project built on sand, "unachievable", as well as a really bad idea

I spoke to Julia Hartley-Brewer who found our arguments for public ownership of water "rather persuasive" !👇

3 out of 4 want public ownership of water in England, incl voters from ALL parties

Water is a natural monopoly and we should be taking it back

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.

Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor.

📢 Announcing Forum 2029 🔋

Details 👇

🧵To clearly understand how damaging winter fuel has been for the Government - this chart looks at key policies or political events so far by cut through and positivity. Winter Fuel has by far the highest cut through of any policy, and the highest negativity.

🚨BREAKING🚨

WE’VE WON OUR CASE TO #DefendDemocracy

The Court of Appeal has ruled that anti-protest laws which completely ignored the will of Parliament are unlawful

And here's the other side of fragmentation - Labour losing to Greens in a London council by-election

1/12
Tony Blair Institute have released a report which is getting a lot of coverage in UK today

It says the drive for net zero emissions is flawed and some media outlets have gone to town

However it’s a bit odd

By odd, I mean there’s a lot of bollocks in it and shouldn't be taken seriously 🧵🧵

This is extremely interesting

..but they're also just one part of the switcher picture.

The ceiling on losses to Greens/Lib Dems is also higher. Lab seat loss if all Reform curious voters defect: 123. If all Green curious go: 250.

*Of course not all will defect*, but it shows you govt has potential vulnerabilities both sides.

[email protected] does some of the most interesting psephological research around, and this is an absolutely fascinating read. For instance, "if Labour lost every Reform curious Labour vote, it would lose 123 seats; if it lost every Green curious Labour voter it would lose 250 seats."

Politicians’ wilful misunderstanding of these guidelines will condemn women, parents, pregnant and young people to continued extreme and unjust punishments.

These guidelines would have finally addressed the huge harm of being pregnant in prison but the Government has just blocked them outright.

Today’s Spring Statement failed to address the declining living standards behind Labour's drop in popularity.

Welfare cuts bring marginal gains for government growth figures — but they imbue devastating personal financial loss for the most vulnerable in society. #SpringStatement

This government's attempt to justify cutting benefits has completely fallen apart. They're slashing support for ill and disabled people to meet their arbitrary fiscal rules.

@pollardtom.bsky.social reacts to the cuts announced in the spring statement

Breaking: Uplift welcomes a very sensible decision from the Court of Session invalidating the decision to approve the Rosebank oil field. Rosebank is a disaster for the climate & will do next to nothing to create the prosperity & stability that the UK needs.
