For an awful lot of politicians and pundits, the story about fixing our railways starts and stops with one word: NATIONALISATION. But this slogan alone is doomed to fail us all. Watch me explain why for @GreensOrganise: #NotJustNationalisation
Spoke to the Foreign Secretary this morning about the situation in Gaza - here's a brief clip...

🚨 NEW: Britain's manufacturers want the government to restore the original HS2 line to Leeds and Manchester. High-speed passenger rail will increase capacity – generating space to shift freight from road to rail. #RailFreightFuture
I stood in a recent election & it was apparent people were unsure of what the Greens stood for. @ZackPolanski eloquently conveys we're for environmental, social & racial justice + fairly taxing the super rich. In these fractious times we need Zack's bold leadership! I #BackZack💚
The campaign for people, not profit. Catch @ZackPolanski out and about talking to people about the issues that matter most. #BackZack
We’re one of the world’s richest nations, by quite a significant margin, and about as wealthy as we have ever been at any point in history.

6. “Pollution levels in Scotland are worse”. 66% of Scotland's water environment meets "good" ecological status, compared to only 16% in England. 7. NHS pensions are statutory schemes, they are not funds that invest.
4. People’s pensions are not typically in the water industry’s corporate debt, it is foreign banks that lend to the sector. Pensions are in any case diversified and mostly invested abroad so you “wipe out” nothing. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
What's better than a councillor resigning from Labour and joining the Greens? When it happens twice in a day! A huge welcome to Councillor Collins who's proud to be joining the party that puts people & planet first. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk
If you want more of this sort of thing, and a Green Party that takes the fight to the media, government and Reform, then you've got A WEEK to join @TheGreenParty and VOTE for @ZackPolanski!

Someone needs to follow up on this ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Who is Lammy suggesting is using the intelligence gathered by RAF flights over Gaza, if not Israel? The RAF has flown a massive number of reconnaissance flights over Gaza, the intel must be being passed to someone
Even if the claim is that the flights are strictly about finding hostages (dubious, also an attempt to avoid ending the genocide as a precondition for their release) who is using the intel if not Israel? Are there UK forces in Gaza using it? Literally what is he claiming here?
Lammy responds by dismissing the question as “unbecoming”, because parliamentary etiquette still matters to a man who is arming a genocide
This government is just constantly pressing “Accept All Cookies” on the nation’s collective data.
To be clear Kirstie’s opposition to working from home has nothing to do with the fact that she’s married to property tycoon Ben Anderson, and that working from home negatively impacts commercial property values. So, no conflict of interest in articles she writes on the subject.
This working from home SHIT has to stop, it’s destroying mental health for millions of young people, and forcing many others to spend far more on housing just for the extra office space. It may suit middle class, middle aged, middle management, it does not suit most young people.
The Mayor of London has a huge platform to call for nationalisation of Thames Water. He repeatedly refuses to when there's new powers in the Water Act. Instead he wants to talk about the Green Party! You're welcome to endorse me, @SadiqKhan at backzack.com
This is exactly it. Labour want to connect with the public & be outraged at the problems. But then offer 'solutions' which are just making the situation so much worse! Time to nationalise our water companies.
Strange to hear Steve Reed simultaneously bemoan "soaring water bills straining family finances" and celebrate "£104 billion pounds of private sector investment" when the latter is FROM those rising bills
