Date set for Rachel Reeves's budget on 26th November - now time for her to think seriously about how to tax wealth so we can fund our public services. Here are a few ideas:
Pathetic that the PM refused to answer my simple question about climate action today. Instead of playing party political games, why doesn't Starmer show some actual leadership and finally put an end to climate-wrecking projects like Rosebank oil field? #StopRosebank
The Daily Hell. Staffed by 'journalists' who spend their days dreaming up headlines to have the nasties spluttering over their porridge.
In Bristol, even Labour know we need rent controls to stop greedy landlords ripping off renters, but their colleagues in Govt haven’t caught up yet. So @bellribeiroaddy.bsky.social and I asked the Deputy PM - why not use the devolution bill to give regions the power to bring in rent controls?
How so?

It's a pity the tabloid press started employing cub reporters from nursery classes. Or is this the Torygraph?
Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.
Unfortunately the UK doesn't take lessons from France. Which is why we're still going ahead with the Hinkley and Sizewell EPR nuclear reactors while France has ditched any plans to build more of them!

I asked Bristolians how much they're forking out on rent. The answer? Too much! It's time for the govt to give regions the power to control rents and stop landlords ripping off their tenants So I'm calling for #RentControls to be included in the Devolution Bill this week.
Lazy people are already taking advantage of the system‼️ They’re called billionaires‼️
Brilliant!
Ah, the international distress sign. Love to help you but we have our own fascists to sort out here in the UK! Good luck.
Donald Tramp has golfed 55 days out of 226 days since returning to office (24.3% of the presidency spent golfing). The cost to us, $77 million! He has the nerve to post this yesterday!
⚠️ Farage, a UK MP, is about to sit in front of the US Congress’ MAGA Christo-fascists to piss on his own country. He’s posing as a “witness” to UK threats on American free speech. Yet, journos chose to cooperate with foreign billionaires owning media, covering it with Tice at every opportunity.
After a summer of record-breaking temps and four heatwaves, the Met Office confirms human activity made this 70x more likely. Climate breakdown is happening before our eyes, and the UK govt is not acting fast enough. We need to cut emissions and invest in sustainable practices now.
Genuinely crackers statement from Kemi Badenoch this AM setting out her approach to North Sea oil & gas. As Badenoch says, "cheap abundant energy is the foundation of prosperity"... which is exactly why we need to plan to transition away from North Sea oil & gas and focus on renewables instead 🧵
Maybe they do.
When world-leading economists argue that the UK needs a wealth tax our Govt should listen. History tells us ambition is possible and preferable; that the UK can be world leading. Prime Minister be ambitious for our country - tax us, the super rich www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Polling shows that removal of the winter fuel allowance is by far the biggest gripe against the Labour government. Yet for the media ..................
I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.
Nigel Farage's record doesn't paint the best picture on supporting women. “Maybe it’s because I’ve got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view [of maternity leave].” #WomenForReform
And also ahead of Facebook now too - - which has held steady as X has declined as a quality engagement/ referral source.
Well done to Greta and her colleagues.

With Labour, Tories, Lib Dems & Farage's Reform UK eyeing up Holyrood in 2026 we must vote for pro-independence minded parties or individuals to protect our fairer, social Scotland that’s been built under devolution. Independence is the way forward but let's not loose what we've already created.
Beating fascism is the task ahead www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/08... Once fascists get into power, they do not give us the option of voting them out again.
Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard telling us that the Defence Industry will lead the way to grow is simply sick-making! How can anyone be proud that their country's growth is gained through products that KILL people!
Disgusting man!
Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.
Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.
Good to see Ed Davey calling for the govt to publish the legal advice it has received on breaches of international law in the Israel-Gaza war this morning. I led a debate on this topic in June, and I repeat the calls I made then.🧵
I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.
Politics today is less driven by ideological conviction and more by parties chasing votes based on a distorted picture of public opinion, one filtered through algorithms that amplify emotionally engaging content. This incentivises performance over substance and erodes democratic deliberation.
Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

So I went on holiday to the Vendee, about a third of the way down France’s west coast, and it made me think a lot about @duncanrobinson.bsky.social’s “Britain, accept you’re a hot country” argument…
Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we've rarely seen. Maybe he should've thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don't get to burn the house down and act shocked it's on fire.

Populists thrive on fear, repetition, and headlines. To counter the small boats story, writes Peter Thurlow, we must take control of the narrative.

Hi Donnachadh, You may be interested in a petition for deep reform of the UN 🇺🇳, whose efforts when faced with climate change and other challenges/crises of this century have, unfortunately, been ineffective. If indeed you are, here it is: www.change.org/ReformTheUni...
Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. “Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.
Trump brags that no other US President has held a meeting with so many heads of state. No other US President has needed a mass intervention like this. No other US President has been so played by Putin. No other US President has had so little understanding of what peace actually means.
Should we be surprised that the nobs are flouting regulations set up by themselves?
As we build Green representation in Parliament, our ask is simple: in a hung Parliament, use our influence to win PR so every vote counts. I explain why it’s vital on Matt Chorley’s BBC R5Live 🎧 www.ellie-adrian-2025.org
New data has suggested more than one in four parents will go without food or heating to afford school uniform. Meanwhile, the rich get richer and richer and richer and richer. Child poverty is a political choice. This government could make different ones.

Very powerful from @simplyshada.bsky.social : “Europe’s political & moral paralysis over Gaza is intimately linked to the structural racism & violence which so many black, brown & Muslim Europeans face every day”. There’s no other explanation why so many levers & sanctions remain shockingly unused👇

🤑 The average FTSE 100 CEO is now paid 122 times the salary of the average full-time UK worker. ⚖️ The Green Party would introduce a 10:1 pay ratio, meaning the highest-paid employee cannot earn more than ten times the lowest-paid.
@barackobama.bsky.social would’ve never walked out of a Putin meeting looking like he’d seen a murder. Putin couldn’t get that kind of leverage on him. Not in a million years. For that.. they needed a man whose ego needs constant stroking, none other than the most vulnerable man in America: TRUMP.
I am calling for Parliament to be recalled immediately in light of the Israeli security cabinet's decision. We must hold the UK govt to account and secure urgent action to alleviate suffering in Gaza.
I have written to every backbench Labour MP urging them to press the govt to implement key measures regarding Gaza. I repeat my call here: I know you did not stand for election to preside over inaction in the face of such crimes. Call on the govt to act, today.
Going green shouldn’t break the bank. The govt must step up with grants and incentives to help people make the switch to green technology in the home. Investment in this technology will cut bills, improve health, and create jobs across the country. That’s a win-win-win!
Release the Epstein Files.
Good take down of the bizarre "delete emails to save water advice" from the UK Govt recently "To save as much water in data centers as fixing your toilet would save, you would need to delete 1.5 billion photos, or 200 billion emails."
Conveniently forgets that it was Blair who ditched the move to proportional representation when he won a resounding majority using FPTP. Opportunists - the lot of them!

The figures in the table show the distribution of income in the UK. Unfortunately they are average figures as that is all is available. 50% of the UK barely survives with 10% of it being in material and abject poverty. The disparity of wealth is strangling a once great nation.
