Funny how things that go around come around. In 2008 the Labour Party in Charnwood leaking support, as a Councillor I suggested closer ties with the Green Party. This was dismissed out of hand by the then Leader.
Now Labour forms a minority administration with the @TheGreenParty
@HumanBollard@rach_hopkins Let me hold my hand up to this! Sometimes I did this to clear the letterbox as less principled 'other parties' used to hang the leaflets out making it difficult for proper parties. Once the box was freed what did you do with them?
@ZackPolanski@TheGreenParty Zack, nuclear weapons is an anathema at the best of times. Where does the GP stand on the matter of the the Ukrainian agression? How will you call for peace? The German Green Party seem to be continental cheerleaders
@RobinHa31517993@OneQuantumLeap Not heard of the concept of 'force majeur ' have you? So far Ukraine must have close to 500k casualties and the RF has got nearly half the country already. When will people realise that negotiations are the way forward?
Where to with #Ukraine️ ? The counteroffensive has stalled, and there is a lot of political capital based on the successful outcome. Will we see an escalation? Are there going to be US soldiers on the battlefront?
@LizWebsterSBF@justsukili@BorisJohnson@SaveGBBacon By any sustainability criteria meat is wholly unsustainable. By any health criteria meat scores poorly. By any poverty criteria meat underpins poverty. There is no use using criteria for animal justice as it fails at the beginning. There is no good case for meat consumption
@Rob_Merrick@jeanid123 I wonder if @Keir_Starmer has the characteristic of agreeing with the last person he spoke to?
I recall a Councillor who had this trait. It was amusing to watch their conversation prior to full Council, and as we sat down all his colleagues waving, nodding, thumbs up etc…
“It’s actually ended up costing more than would have been the case if it had just been settled…”
Direct from the horse’s mouth, proof that the government are paying to extend #RailStrikes

Whilst I listened to Pres. Modhis' words I had a mental image of another Indian dressed in a simple white dhoti and sandals preaching commonsense and non-violence.
Let us not ignore this message
Pres. Modi had it right at the G7 meeting. Why is the UN Security Council dominated by the WW2 victors?
Why is there no delegate from the south?
Places like India, Indonesia and South Africa are excluded whilst the UK, a much smaller and less influential is included?
With the example of the water industry, the rail network and the energy infrastructure, what possess MPs, both Labour and Conservative to think privatisation will be good for the NHS?
@GeorgeKoller4 @PaulNiland If you're going to comment, can you at least contribute to the discussion? There are plenty of uninformed and unintelligent botts on Titter.
Freeing up pastureland would allow large-scale reforestation & native ecosystem restoration drawing down multiple years’ worth of CO2 into trees, shrubs, & soils, and buying critical time needed to reduce other emissions.
