Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Will Labour next week in the budget tell us sad stories about "difficult decisions" and how there's "no money left?" Or will this Labour Government challenge the broken economic thinking that has lead us to this place? And tax the assets of multimillionaires & billionaires? 👀

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Congratulations to Sagal. I wish her the very best in representing this amazing place. I'm proud of the campaign we fought. To go from 10% to 33% of the vote share during the PM's 'bounce' is good - but our ambitions are far higher.

"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?" Navi Pillay upon winning the 2026 Nobel peace prize

They think we’re all idiots As Jon Stewart says — if the goal is guaranteed income and jobs, why wait? Why is it only “socialism” if we don’t hand them trillions of dollars first?

A woman invented the "Rape Kit", her name was Marty Goddard. Still used today. Hundreds of thousands of sexual assault kit (rape kits) packaged by doctors to collect physical and DNA evidence after an attack, sat untested in police storage rooms and crime labs across the United States.

Despite having having far more people, Russia also has about an equivalent GDP to California minus Los Angeles and Santa Clara County. Seems pretty low T and beta!

The House and Senate needs to submit STAND ALONE BILLS. None of this bullshit that sneaks in other bills that they KNOW would never pass if it was a STAND ALONE BILL.

I spent days crafting a speech for the naming day of one of my nieces that I'm also godfather too. Come the time to give it I didn't use it. Just spoke from the heart. My sister who'd seen my draft said my off the cuff one was better. Just use your brain, it's much better than any AI for speaking.

I have said before and will again: any electoral reform commission must NOT rule out a change of system BEFORE the next election if needed. We cannot risk a minority vote handing a huge majority to any party that would take a shredder to democracy itself.
