Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I hope if any damages are awarded to Prince Harry & Elton John etc following their case against the Daily Mail… that it will be put toward supporting organisations working toward making the media better.
Also… let’s hope pressure will finally lead to Leveson Part 2 AND further scrutiny beyond this.

Will you help us create spaces of safety, joy and community for trans young people in the year ahead?
For many of our young people, their worlds have become small because that’s what feels safe. We want to change that.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social now says Greens are closing in on Labour’s membership numbers. Set to overtake.
This means a growth rate of 20% per week has been maintained.
I said it before. But this is remarkable growth.

This is remarkable.
Let’s do some maths… this represents a growth rate of 20.97% in a week.
If we assume that growth rate continues (exponential growth) we could see @greenparty.org.uk overtake Labour in terms of members (circa 333,000) in just under 5 weeks.

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost!
Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members.
That's +26,000 members in the last week.
Hope is feeling normal again....

I’ve lived here for 10 years. In that time I’ve seen two people have their phones stolen out of their hands, a couple of cars have been broken into on our street, one house burgled and I’ve had my laptop stolen while in a pub with my bag unattended.
This is the crime I’ve been witness to.

Just to put something into the ether to counteract the narrative that London is unsafe. Putting any data to one side - regardless of how it bolsters. I think it’s helpful for people to hear from people who live in London.

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical.
How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

Movement ecology is something we need to develop more respect for. The messy reality seen throughout history is that legal, political, cultural and grassroots actors work together to create real change.
