Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

John Tells 💚 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 @johntells.bsky.social · 17d

I have joined the Greens @greenparty.org.uk, with @hullergreens.bsky.social as my local party.

Why did I decide on the Greens? I had my eye on another party which descended into madness. The Lib Dems, they're great but ultimately, we don't need more of the same.

We need change.

Two points worth noting on the Farage stuff today.

1. The Tories have completely ceded the August opportunity to get publicity when govt slows down to Reform. Nothing to suggest they're not headed fast towards oblivion.

2. Labour look even more lost than before. Paralysed with indecision and fear.

If we have similar levels of rainfall in future summers can anyone quantify the further impact AI data centres will have on water supplies?

There was promise of 700 jobs here. Can’t imagine, with this news, it’s going to be even half that

France is planning to recognise the state of Palestine.

Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has described the starvation in Gaza as “unspeakable and indefensible” but still won't DO anything.

Recognising the state of Palestine is the least our government can do.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.
