On Saturday, I stood on a soapbox in Milton Keynes shopping centre and talked to the public about my research! It was great to engage with people about mending and sewing, especially the kids! @ougradsch.bsky.social @soapboxscience.bsky.social #soapboxsciMK25

🚨Labour broken promise alert 🚨

Labour promised to upgrade Britain's homes but now they're going to leave millions in cold homes, paying huge bills while energy companies profit

Households will pay £300 more in energy bills than they were promised (up to £500 for some!)

In May 2023, the residents of Mid Suffolk voted for change when they elected the first majority Green council in the UK.

So what have they been doing since then? Is it a new model? Definitely worth a read. 👇

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

I don't know how likely this unfolding is, but everyone should read it and decide for themselves. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Lib Dem MP for Stratford-on-Avon Manuela Perteghella

Children with autism, especially girls, are too often overlooked and misunderstood. It's time for a system that recognises and supports their needs

@mp4stratford.bsky.social

This afternoon, I joined my fellow Green MPs outside the Treasury with a clear message: our economy is broken, and it’s failing ordinary people.

We need bold action to tackle inequality and the climate crisis—business as usual isn't working. It’s time to rebalance the economy.

Young people should protest for the planet more, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has said.

Britain is THREE TIMES more likely to arrest climate activists than other countries

And if you think that’s bad watch this

As @trusselluk.bsky.social point out with at least a year before these cruel cuts come into force there’s still time for the government to rethink. You can help the call for the government to change course by emailing your MP now using this tool👇
