Imagine if Welsh Gov agreed to give redundant steelworkers a #BasicIncome. We’d have seen more stories like this - pun intended.

This is not a reasoned political response. Labour has spent two years making all the voting groups who backed the Greens feel unwelcome and unheard, and now attacks them for daring to back someone else. They believe Labour isn’t listening and Starmer seems determined to prove them right

Said this to @ceritheviking.bsky.social earlier today. Worth repeating.

Burnham must be thanking the election gods on Labour’s NEC.

No way he would have won that seat after this.

Bullet dodged.

Putting the numbers into @jaclarner.bsky.social’s Senedd election simulator, suggests the following potential Senedd composition:

Interestingly, these numbers put Plaid very close to majority govt or, more likely, a vaguely comfortable life as a minority administration? #senedd #devolution

Not a single mention of the fact they lost their best mate in the summer.

Yeah, a mystery.

Israel’s ban on 37 humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, from entering Gaza is another war crime.

The Green Party condemns this decision and calls for immediate international action to protect humanitarian actors.

Homeless people were given free money, no strings attached. Here's what happened A new trial gave homeless people £2,000 to spend however they choose. What they spent the money on may surprise you.

#GoodNews - not quite #UniversalBasicIncome, but headed in that direction.

With the understanding that people in poverty's problem is lack of money

If only there were some way, mathematically, to defeat 33% of the population. Alas, it is impossible, and Labour have no choice but to acquiesce to their every demand and nevertheless accept their humiliating defeat as a fait accompli.
