wrote Something More Personal Than Usual (lol) for @i_D about this weird year of macro and micro chaos – during which the news went fully demented and everyone seemed to make huge life choices – and why giving into the universe is sometimes the only way i-d.vice.com/en/article/4axm…

We don't need a single penny of cuts. On the BBC I explained in just 20 seconds how we can raise taxes on the richest instead. Austerity is a political choice.

Fallen leaves are such a valuable resource, it would be a shame to waste them. If they're in the way, stuff them into old compost bags, pierce the sides and within a year, you'll have the most amazing soil improver for your borders! 🍂🍂🍂 #GardenersWorld #SaturdayMotivation

What’s happening in the Labour Party is new. The Labour right, having had the shock of their lives in 2015, are now intent on eradicating the left entirely. This isn’t how their predecessors thought. It’s a new departure in Labour history that’ll have long term consequences.
I am devastated to announce that the Labour Party has blocked me from restanding as our community's Member of Parliament. 20 years of local campaigning matters less than factional intrigue in our Party today. I will never stop fighting for the people of Kensington. Statement 🔽

Really sad that today is my last day as lead councillor for Natural Environment and Climate Change at Hastings Borough Council thanks to interference from national Labour Party insisting that local Labour couldn't work with Greens in Cabinet.

Absolutely terrific from @CarolineLucas, telling it just how it is 👏 This is a national crisis and, despite all the talk, the government have done nothing but help the water companies pollute. It has to stop or they need to go. #EndSewagePollution

In 2019, if you woke up on a Casper, worked out with Peloton, Ubered to a WeWork, ordered DoorDash for lunch, took a Lyft home, made a Blue Apron meal and ordered ice cream via Postmates, you interacted with 8 companies that collectively lost about $15 billion in one year.

If we put a 10% tax on the wealth of those with over £100m, we would raise £69 billion. A Wealth Tax is how we should fund much-needed investment in social care - not a hike in National Insurance contributions that will hit the lowest paid.
