I'd rather be at home on my couch playing a videogame with my kids, but instead I spent hours volunteering because I want to make the world a better place for people who really would rather I didn't bother, and that's very sad.

Because I wish I was privileged enough to feel like all parties are the same to me. I wish I felt safe enough to opt out of politics. I wish I didn't feel like the future of my family is determined by the whims of people who don't really care either way.
Worst thing I heard whilst door knocking yesterday, simply from someone hearing we were calling about an upcoming election:
"Go away, you're all the same and all awful."
List of 48 books, starting with "Very Clever Baby's First Reader" which was an eight page humorous card-sized book which came out in 1988, going on to "Massif", which is a 100K words long SF novel out in September 2026.
Every now and then when I think I'm not making enough progress on a book, I look back at my list of published books and consider that I've had this same thought with every single one of them. (Even the short or very short ones. Getting them right takes time.)

Apologies to all of Hannah's customers!
Something exciting is happening. Be a part of it ⤵️
Greens win Gorton & Denton, so of course the fascist BBC have a 20 min interview with some twat from Reform spouting lies and nonsense.
Yesterday we changed the course of history. Together. Thank you.

Two weeks ago @zackpolanski.bsky.social went to Palantir's London HQ to tell the US spyware company to get the hell out of the NHS.
Zack has now written to Wes Streeting urging him to end Palantir's NHS contract, citing links between Mandelson, his lobbying firm, and Palantir.
It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰
If Starmer had handed all of our data to a Chinese company with ties to the state, would that be something we would be ok with?
If he had handed it to a Russian state backed firm, would we think that was good judgment?
US isn't our ally and always threatens us if we don't do exactly what they want
When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.
https://greenparty.org.uk/2026/01/15/zack-polanski-writes-to-keir-starmer-calling-for-south-east-water-to-be-taken-into-public-ownership/
Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.
Privatised water is a scam.
I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.
We had four days without water. We appear to be due no compensation as SE Water have blamed it on "storm damage" for a storm that barely registered in this part of the country. This is a get-out clause to cover for an appallingly-run company. Bring it back into public ownership.
REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. THE 1% ARE BURNING OUR FUTURE Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
The world’s richest 1% have burned up their fair share of carbon for the year in just 10 days.
The climate and inequality crises are one and the same. We need:
💰 Wealth taxes on the super-rich
🚫 Ban on private jets
Snow!
Here's to putting people and planet first in 2026.
Happy New Year from all of us at the Green Party.
Let's choose kindness in 2026.

Real change is coming.
2026 is the year we really turn things around.

“At its heart, it maintains and reinforces a system built on clinical control of and power over trans communities,” Dr Horton tells QueerAF.
“There is no effort to improve accountability. No recognition of institutional transphobia. No recognition of clinical violence”

Interesting to note that the trans hostile EHRCs and Labours line is pivoting hard from 'follow the law' (legal) to 'follow the rules' (social contract).
Almost like they know segregation isnt allowed under the law.

Snufkin is the only dog I’ve ever known to really use pillows. He drags them into place, moves them around, makes himself comfortable …
Graphic with title: SHARE OF TOTAL WEALTH IN UK There is a line at the bottom of the graphic that represents the UK population. Half of the line is coloured white and labelled '50% of the population combined'. An arrow points from this half of the line to a small pound sign labelled '4.6%' to represent that half of the UK population hold 4.6% of total wealth. At the other end of the line, a small section in green is labelled 'Top 1%'. An arrow points from this section to a much larger pound sign labelled 21.3% to represent that the wealthiest 1% in the UK hold 21.3% of total wealth.

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population.
The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined.
Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.
