Tony Blair’s influence has been continuing to shape government thinking, from enthusiasm for so-called artificial intelligence to key appointments.

The government must be transparent about who is shaping decisions and whose interests are being served.

I'm halfway through I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. Recommended by #theverysmallbookshop. Very surreal read.

Kindness in The Visitor, a lovely intergenerational story of loneliness.

Eric - acts of kindness shown when he leaves.

Every Little Kindness is a visual treat - a wordless book that shows how acts of kindness can be passed.

One House for All is a great lesson in compromise!

I’m hoping #Bluesky will be in more robust health for this today. 🤞

It’s been a bit of a week, made brighter with pockets of immense kindness.

So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, I thought we could celebrate books that highlight the importance of kindness.

Oh I am sorry Ed, that is properly rubbish. For you and for them. I hope you find something better.

This week I’ve been challenging the Govt’s sinister attempts to abolish the right to choose a jury trial.

Here is the Minister confirming that the right to elect a jury trial IS being completely abolished with this Bill!

A fundamental cornerstone of our justice system established in 1670: gone.

I am so pissed off that the press have completely ignored this crowdfunder. When we were trying to buy the land they were slathering all over posting about it, but when the government fucked us over and pulled their ~£0.5mn contribution, we’re just blanked now. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warleigh-n...

For Keir Starmer to talk of national resilience and ignore nature is absurd | Letters Letters: Responding to an article by the PM, Caroline Lucas says he must be clearer about climate risks, Molly Scott Cato says we must reverse Brexit and Dr Victor Ajuwon applauds Labour’s directness....

Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇

My new phone was posted to my old address where I haven't lived for sixteen years. This isn't a mistake that's happened before so my only hope is my childhood home's new inhabitants are big Sooz Kempner heads and get in touch. ORRRRRR they know someone who is.

Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds The BBC exposes a shadow industry charging migrants thousands of pounds to help them cheat the asylum system.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

We were at Downing Street yesterday to call on the government to scrap the anti-protest laws that put our freedoms at risk. Together with Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK over 40,000 of you signed the petition, so we sent them your message.

Image shows Sian with Andy McDonald MP, Kim Johnson MP and campaigners from Friends of the Earth and Palestine Solidarity Campaign. They are stood outside No 10 Downing Street and are handing over a white box containing petitions. It reads: Defend our right to protest.

Together with @friends-earth.bsky.social and @pscupdates.bsky.social, I have handed in petitions signed by over 40,000 people against the Government's sinister proposals that would give police new powers to restrict repeat protest.

Greens will always defend the democratic right to protest.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

'The only way of getting through challenges of conflicts and rising costs is by acting together' The managing director of Bridges for Communities urges people to come together to tackle the root causes of division

Thanks @bristol247.bsky.social for publishing this piece ahead of Million Acts of Hope in May.

Division & conflict can feel like they dominate our news feeds and this campaign is an important reminder to celebrate the daily acts of kindness & connection that take place across Bristol, and beyond.

Cambridgeshire MP to introduce bill to protect UK chalk streams The 10-minute bill is set to go before Parliament on 25 February.

I co-sponsored this bill which aims to give chalk streams UNESCO world heritage status. These important habitats, 85% of which are in the UK, are at risk of drying out. Let’s protect the homes of plants, fish and aquatic mammals🌱🐠🦦
