Off to see #Sylvia in london and feeling proud of my brave female friends who are fighting mysoginy still in the political arena, 100 years later. it’s when the bullies rise up that you know change is happening. 💪
We will deny you your human rights because we don’t like you? Prisoners break the law but their human rights remain paramount. Why not refugees? Why is their aspiration for living w/o fear, destitution or the degradation of poverty so despicable? We rot in our privilege.

So our new Home Secretary is the old Home Secretary who doesn’t understand modern slavery, at best, or prefers to politicise it so making it harder to tackle. I agree w/ . Hugely disappointed in this appointment.

With the economy tanking and the UK government "blowing up" ESG red tape, then the risk of modern slavery INCREASES. I cannot express my despair and fury at this relegation of such an important issue from safeguarding to immigration oversight.

Almost 70% of animal populations wiped out since 1970. That is not far off my birth year. In my lifetime we have had this collapse. And it’s not slowing in most places, BUT it is reversing in N America. #hope The time to act is now. We need better leaders theguardian.com/environment/20

A government that stokes the flames of inequality & injustice in the name of ‘growth’ is blinkered & vile. (I’m trying to be polite and not say ‘stupid’) It will only undermine growth and prosperity in the longer run. Can we please get some social scientists into this cabinet??

The BBC must take away the rightwing thinktanks’ megaphone. Couldn’t agree more. People must know who finances the voices they hear. Co-option of the state. Time for us all to read some McChesney.

WHAAT?? Truss has imposed a windfall tax on renewable energy and no significant windfall tax on fossil fuel? And she refuses to advise people on how to save energy because of her ideology?

Interesting take by Monbiot on the present UK government as the acceleration or door opener towards fascism. It’s a tragedy the nation voted to keep First Past the Post as our voting system because it keeps us pinned to the wall.

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.

Rishi Sunak talks about university education as if its only purpose is to secure a financial return.
Another Tory who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.
