Writer, editor, lecturer, occasional poet, Green Party person, #Xdissenter. Views here not all party positions. On Bluesky @ Tom--Scott.
I'm now posting more on Bluesky than on Elon Musk's bully pulpit. Hope to see you over on the brighter side.

2021 'Nigel Farage has joined forces with a Dutch fund manager found to have misled the public to promote “carbon offsetting” through forestry.' Mappins too. Dutch boss another Trump fan. Farage and Mappins are climate-deniers. Now at Reform. @Tom___Scott westcountryvoices.co.uk/nigel-farage-a…
“Jeremy Corbyn is going to set up his own Party; we in the Greens shouldn’t be the support act!” - well said , @AdrianRamsay ! Zack Polanski is deluded, when he claims that Corbyn could join the Greens.
Adrian Ramsay very good on @LBC @IainDale, making crystal clear that unless one appeals to wide sections of the public (not just Lefties) one WILL NOT WIN in 1st-past-the-post elections: winning which,not coincidentally,he & Ellie are past masters at doing (while Zack never has).
In #LBC debate, @AdrianRamsay setting out very clearly why the Green Party needs to keep to the clear strategy that's led to a doubling of councillor numbers & quadrupling of MPs in the past 4 years, & the risks of 'magical thinking' damaging the party's credibility.
Now in Tel Aviv: Thousands of Jews and Palestinians are marching together against the starvation in Gaza and for an immediate ceasefire deal to end the annihilation and return the hostages
Israel (facing multiple proceedings for atrocities in Gaza) "wasn't given a suggestion by the ICJ. It was given a legal order." States now calling for ceasefire HAVE MULTIPLE OBLIGATIONS to ensure Israel ends it unlawful occupation and genocide NOW. SANCTIONS+ARMS EMBARGO NOW.
[1/8] People in #Gaza who have survived bombs & bullets are starving. Yesterday, Israeli forces again fired on crowds waiting for aid trucks. Hospitals report >80 people killed. The starving arrived as the wounded. There seems to be no limits to this cruelty. A🧵from Gaza…
Diss is a town rooted in compassion and decency. What happened in Diss last night was wrong. Groups from outside our community came here to create fear and division. That is not who we are.
Welcome to @TheGreenParty @Lizcollins777. I’m sure you’ll feel more at home here 💚
Dear @SteveReedMP, If you set up a water commission only to tie its hands by not allowing it to consider public ownership, and excluding agricultural run off even though it causes half of water pollution, how can that commission possibly deliver real change? 1/2
More and more people are leaving @UKLabour to join @TheGreenParty Today we welcome Councillors @Lizcollins777 & @Trey_CS from Hammersmith & Fulham who join us because they want a party that's honest, listens, and puts people and planet first. You can too join.greenparty.org.uk
Respect to Sharon Graham. Unions exist to protect their members, not to line the pockets of corrupt officials & their corporate cronies.
When I was elected @unitetheunion GS, I promised to uncover the truth about allegations of historical corruption, particularly in relation to the Birmingham Hotel and Conference Centre. I can now provide information from the independent inquiries I commissioned, through this…
There are no words to convey the horror of 21 children in Gaza starving to death in the last 72 hours. There are no words to convey the horror of nearly a million more children being at risk of the same fate. The UK cannot stay complicit in this atrocity. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvg9…
🫠 Jon Cunliffe's review into the water sector deliberately left out the option of public ownership. 💸 The only way to stop millions of pounds being siphoned off for huge CEO salaries and shareholder dividends is to end the scam of privatised water. 🤝 Public ownership now.
It is an outrage that our rivers are full of sewage. Today’s Environment Agency report makes it clear that we must invest in the crumbling water infrastructure, which has been starved of funding for far too long since privatisation. I joined @SkyNews to talk about it earlier.
Members of the public applauded the 8 brave people arrested on the steps of Truro Cathedral yesterday for the "crime" of holding signs saying: I OPPOSE GENOCIDE. I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION. These protesters are not terrorists. They are the best of us.



Jonathan Sumption is a former Supreme Court justice. His view is that Israel's war crimes in Gaza include genocide as defined in the Geneva Convention. How can the UK government justify *any* continuing support for those responsible, let alone military support?

I spoke in parliament against proscribing Palestine Action, expecting problems for the police in enforcing it. The Govt needs to rethink. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Karam al-Ghussain, 9, and Lulu, 10, were fetching water for their family from a distribution station when an Israeli strike tore their small bodies apart. It's the IDF that's a terrorist organisation, not Palestine Action. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
What is Israel going to do, bomb Dublin?
Always threatening Always killing It’s a culture and the call it call it MORAL
Reform is the political mouthpiece for big oil and corporate profit. Neither Andrea Jenkyns nor her party grasp basic climate science. It's not a surprise when they've taken £2.3 million from fossil fuel interests, climate deniers, & major polluters since 2019
