Vocals a bit iffy. But I was happy with the song on a lyrical basis.

Autism was in those lyrics without my realising it.

One of my most " me songs" I wrote. 🙏💚

The Government has tabled 67 last-minute amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.‼️

Rushed through with little scrutiny, it’s a shambolic way to reform the planning system.

It creates confusion, sidelines science and leaves nature dangerously exposed.

(1/3)

A Wren stands upright on a mossy branch, beak open in full song, small but defiant. Against a soft golden blur, it seems to speak out for nature itself: a clear voice cutting through the noise, refusing to be ignored.

Yet another wake up call about the scale & cost of #climate risk. That’s why we urgently need a National Climate Resilience Plan with emphasis on local funding, nature based solutions & community resilience - pls sign & share petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk

Please keep it going. I am very concerned for my vulnerable family. Tories, Reform and now Labour are attacking the vulnerable in our society. This is a sign of weakness and cowardice.

Thank you Zack and the Green Party for having the courage to speak up. 🙏💚

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

The Chancellor says she 'fixed' a problem caused by “some snails or something”.

Comments like this pit nature against growth – it’s the wrong target.

The era of oil & gas is over - reserves are running dry and companies are pulling out leaving workers and communities high and dry

Government urgently needs to make a plan to harness those skills for the green energy transition

My piece for Prospect Magazine on my Energy Jobs Bill:

Screenshot of a headline from Prospect Magazine, reading: 'There will be no transition without high-carbon skills.'

Subheading reads: My new Energy Jobs Bill would harness the expertise of those working in oil and gas to support the shift to clean power, by Carla Denyer

We’re being told fairy tales by right wing politicians and media - it’s two things, an attempt to divide and then rule us - and a distraction from the real issues. Our Giga Poll gives the lie to these fantasies - it shows what Britain Really Thinks - buff.ly/0d4tnUH
