Ooh fuck you, supporting self-ID was one of the publicly stated commitments in the 2024 #GreenParty manifesto and has been a party policy for years. Don't like it, don't join the party. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/17/green-party-purge-gender-critical-voices-expelled-former-spokesperson-pallavi-devulapalli

So, yet again my small high street cookshop in a rural English town has paid more tax than Starbucks entire UK operation.
Cynically, Starbucks is more than profitable enough to pay £40m of royalties to its US parent company, thereby incuring a loss of £35m.
Global revenue for 2024 was $36billion.
As a Green Party district councillor it makes my blood boil.

The UK is in talks with other countries to set up overseas “return hubs” for asylum seekers who have exhausted the legal process, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said on his first official visit to Albania. Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer MP told the Huffington Post:
Mere months after rightly denouncing the last government’s failed Rwanda scheme as a gimmick and a waste of taxpayer money, Starmer is now looking for his own knock off version. Instead of wasting more taxpayer money trying to look tough, it’s time Starmer got a grip of the real driving force behind smuggling gangs: the fact that for most people who might need and be eligible to seek asylum in the UK, there is simply no safe and managed way to do so.

I'm both angry and excited to read about the French & #Paris #cycling movement.
Angry that the UK is so far behind, with our leaders having so little vision.
Excited that we have #Elections2024 that give us a chance to push our leaders to act on the #ClimateEmergency
Even tho the #GreenParty can't win a majority, talking to all our MP candidates about how important to us the #ClimateAction is, to make them commit when they're on our doorstep / in hustings.
...and ditch #TorySewageParty

I don’t want an extra £450 a year, or however much it is, I want properly funded schools, hospitals and other public services

Little reminder about my two main accounts:
💚 This account @samsterby is for #politics including: #transport, #cycling, #activeTravel, #trains, #HS2, #ecosocialism, #GreenParty / #gpew, and that kind of thing.
👋 My other account @sam is for general life, #parenting, #music, #tech, #iosDev, #grumblingAboutWork, stuff.
Doesn’t always work out cleanly but that’s the general idea 👍
