A refresh of my values (for anyone who cares) @bladeofthes.bsky.social got me thinking with a recent post about financial interests so a new page has been added to cover the role/stds expected in public life. As a school governor for 20 yrs and a cllr for 7 I’d like to think I meet such standards

Since Zack became high profile in the Green Party and then won the leadership vote it’s been lovely to have that feeling of hope again. We knew we needed the Tories out & I don’t think any of us really thought Labour would screw us over so spectacularly. But here we are & for me the future is Green.

Where the hell was Chris Mason’s judgement during the Brexit Referendum? Where was it during the 2019 GE Campaign? Where was it during the height of Covid when ministers were partying? Not once before have he or his colleagues decide to exercise their judgement and tell the nation the truth.

We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

I’m still bemused by why progressives are surprised by this - everything, and I mean everything the right has done in the last 30 yrs was predicted and documented. Everything they still plan on doing likewise. First The Sovereign Individual (blueprint) and then Mandate for Leadership (2025 Project)
