The crisis re Straights of Hormuz is making us realise we rely on oil too much. The crisis is causing massive fertiliser shortage too. Fertilisers cause tremendous environmental damage. Farming systems/land use must change to use much less. This crisis should make us think about fertiliser use. 🧵

As John Gater said, the man who spent his life making us laugh is now making us cry. I can't imagine a Time Team without Kerry; he was our foundations and our roof, as well as our joker. 💔

Am enjoying ‘The House of Wolf’ by Sir Tony Robinson. Saxon spear for effect! A Viking appears called Martin Hennig. The only Martin Henig I know is Oxford Rev Prof Martin Henig. A lovely gentle soul who’d be the worst raider: I saw him fall off a punt! REALLY hope he was Sir Tony’s inspiration

Nan’s not bankrupting Britain (but politicians might be) Pensions, productivity and the myth of the migrant “drain” – why Britain’s real crisis is ageing, not immigration

Britain’s pensions & care crisis isn’t caused by migrants. It’s caused by ageing – and all the politicians who ignored it. The Bear explains.

Currently we appeal to those who otherwise might vote for any party. Let's keep on threatening all our opponents, not just Corbyn!

A fascinating Newsnight interview. Both the political journalists on the panel said that it's a competition between: broad church & appealing to voters of every party on the one hand, versus fishing in the same waters as Jeremy Corbyn on the other. A very clear choice, I'd say.

'How the Green Party Should Respond to Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's New Left Party' The creation of a new explicitly left party means that any attempt by the Greens to compete on the same ground is now a dead end, argues Rupert Read

Our policies have always been more radical than Corbyn's

We should not retreat into a Left ideological ghetto but should invite everybody to vote for a sustainable and peaceful future with the Green Party

A very clear analysis of why the Green Party is different to all others. It has broadly left-wing policies because these are essential for the planet, but it is first and foremost a Green party and not a leftist party.

“If a new political party is setting up, now, without having climate- and ecological- breakdown front and centre, then it’s hopelessly out of date”: Adrian Ramsay brilliant, on LBC #GreenLeadership debate, on why the Green Party is deeply different in fundamental starting-point from Corbyn-Sultana.

Huge congrats to Diane @ddpearly & well done to the Wealden Green Party for holding Horam and Punnetts Town.

The Greens are keeping seats like this because constituents see us delivering, not just shouting from the sidelines & delivering nothing like some parties seem to do.

The new voting system for mayors and PCCs: how it affects democracy This month’s elections for mayors and police and crime commissioners were contested under a revised voting system. In a post published yesterday, Alan Renwick found that this change had a substanti…

Great to see that the English Devolution Bill, published today, restores the Supplementary Vote system for electing mayors and PCCs.

In a blogpost last year, I set out why the switch to FPTP in 2022 was bad for democracy, and why reversing that move is good.
