If you want some *hope* emerging from a bleak political landscape, watch this video but also read the many quote-posts of it.

Beautiful job. This is what just we need Zack.
So impressed I've just joined the Green Party!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, like Donald Trump and the strength to change the things I can, like the channel when he's on TV.

Hey guys! Happy Mushroom Monday!
This fella was huge, but I almost didn't see it because it blended in with the brown leaves.

Zohran Mamdani & Zack Polanski both show that a new politics can emerge with public support.

Immigrants, trans kids, the poor, disabled etc aren't the reason for the mess we are in. It's billionaires, backed up by right wing and liberal politicians. Take them on, we can win.

Today - 14/06/2025 - BBC Sounds Including Sports Desk, Weather and Thought for the Day.

I was on the Today programme at 7.21 this morning talking about changes to benefits.

You don’t get people back into work by cutting benefits. Work is good for our mental health and we must improve the support available to help people re-enter the workforce.

EARTH DAY REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

89% of the world's people want to see governments around the world take more action on the climate crisis.

We're the majority. The climate denial of the Tories and Reform is the minority.

So, starting this Earth Day, let's speak up and show governments we want climate action NOW.
