Successive governments have chipped away at protest rights. With the Crime and Policing Bill in committee stage at the House of Lords this week, I’ll be pushing back.

A new offence of “misleading the public” sounds like progress — and yes, it would apply to ministers and even the Prime Minister. But ordinary MPs and peers in the House of Lords are excluded. Why should honesty not apply to all of us in Parliament? I’ll be pressing the government on this.

A wide range of expert organisations are warning about the risks in youth diversion orders as currently drafted. We should be listening carefully. If these orders are introduced, they must be based on what actually works for children — realistic, fair, and tailored to the individual.

More today on Lords Reform today and getting rid of hereditory peers @GreenJennyJones Greens have put a bill to have an elected chamber, with PR, every year since 2013. Current Labour Bill is too tame

I am delighted to welcome councillor Linda Lusingu to the Green Party. Linda is making history as our first ever councillor in Barnet – and I’m proud to stand with her as she sends the Green message of hope not hate, to her constituents

The Starmer–Mandelson–Palantir story raises serious questions about how power is being used. A private meeting, a £240m contract without competition - the public deserves answers and full transparency. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social asserts that Palantir's government contracts should be cancelled.

Greens argue for right house in right place, but this government is giving us the wrong type of house in any old place that the developers want at whatever profit the developers feel they can charge in order to boost their private profits @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

Questioning Minister on 200+ peaceful protestors against what Israel is doing in Gaza, who were arrested under terrorism laws for alledgedly supporting Palestine Action. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social "Not appropriate for the Minister to stand here and say that it is none of his business."

It was great to meet and chat with Tom Walker — better known as Jonathan Pie on social media. I asked him what drives his famous rants about the government, and he asked me a couple of questions about the House of Lords and the Green Party.

The housing market is broken and it's the corporate investors who have broken it. 1 in 50 people in London are homeless. 📢 @greenjennyjones.bsky.social asks: "In the wealthiest city, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, how have we got to these figures?"

Jeff Rath: "This is the second judge now that's decided that they want to engage in politics and to be a political actor rather than a judicial actor and to basically engage in politics while wearing a black robe with a red sash."

Kamala Harris: When you look at this war in Iran, which the American people do not want, which was not authorized by congress. Even if it was, it should not have been initiated. He talked about obliterated. Trump's all just bullshit.

The numbers don’t lie. Americans feel the pain of Trump’s horrible economy. Instead of helping families keep up with rising costs, he’s dragging the country into billion-dollar wars of choice overseas.

TORNADO EMERGENCY FOR Brookhaven, Bogue Chitto A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 815 PM CDT FOR EASTERN LINCOLN COUNTY MISSISSIPPI At 755 PM CDT, a confirmed large and destructive tornado was located over Enterprise, or 7 miles southeast of Brookhaven, moving east at 50 mph.

On Taiwan’s defense: this would be a SALE — Taiwan would pay for its own weapons, unlike the U.S.-taxpayer-funded military AID sent to Israel and Ukraine. Surely Taiwan deserves the chance to defend itself against invasion.

Just one week after tobacco giant Reynolds donated $5 million to MAGA Inc. and dined with Trump at his golf club, President Trump directed FDA to authorize the sale of flavored vapes. This corruption is poisoning our kids and unleashing a new wave of addiction on America.

Mamdani: "Govt efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are R priorities, when in fact they're priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people"

Until we address the imbalance of power at the heart of our system, we will continue to treat the symptoms of a crisis we are structurally unable to solve. A sustainable future is still possible. But only if we build the sustained movement required to achieve it.

No one should have to choose between the cost of lifesaving insulin and putting food on the table. We need to provide some help amid soaring health care costs, and by capping monthly insulin costs at $35, my INSULIN Act would do just that.

$2 billion per day — that’s how much Trump is wasting on war while gas prices are soaring and many Americans struggle with the basic costs of living.

Some brands try to win Q4… Others get real and plan for January. If your site’s weak, your creative sucks, or you’re late to the party- lean into “New Year, New You” instead. Peak season’s about prep. Missed it? Don’t panic. Pivot.
