Do you have research interests in sub-seasonal prediction, high resolution modelling or data assimilation of the Earth system? Open junior and senior fellowship opportunities in partnership with University of Reading, ECMWF, NCAS and UK Met Office: research.reading.ac.uk/earth-system...

Bring back the winter fuel payment! ALL PENSIONERS deserve the security of a warm home.

TBH I expected us to pick new co-leaders as soon as @carladenyer.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social were elected so they could focus on being good MPs, like @carolinelucas.bsky.social did. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is an obvious choice IMO. Zac, who are you considering as a running mate?

No elections in Reading so we headed over to South Oxfordshire to help out @greenjorobb.bsky.social and our fellow Greens. Hard-working champions, all of them.

Solidarity with striking workers in Birmingham. Commissioners brought in by the Tory party to “fix” Birmingham council, are simply making people’s lives more difficult. Sack the commissioners. Fund the council properly. Allow the workers to work again.

If Labor/Labour/Democrats want to change the world they must convince the working class to vote for socialism. A victory requiring Green voters holding their noses to keep the Tories/Libs/Republicans out only means that the centre/center moves to the right. www.betootaadvocate.com/humans-of-be...

Why won't they do it? Because property wealth is only perceived wealth. A house of cards. Pop that bubble for the good of us all.

Welfare cuts are a political choice. 685,500 Britons (1%) have wealth of £2.8trn. 48m (70%) have £2.4trn. Richest four have more wealth than 20m people combined. Govt could have taxed the rich, chose to cut benefits of the disabled/poor. Not acceptable. Tell your MP to oppose the cuts.

A fossil fuel project in Teesside has landed a £10bn subsidy for a fairytale carbon capture technology -recent studies show the plant’s total emissions would far exceed any carbon stored under the sea Read more about this second, new challenge to Net Zero Teesside goodlawproject.org/labour-is-ch...

Wonder if this pot of Goblin Green will ever run out. They had the tech to stop the paints drying out 25 years ago, just saying...

I wonder what percentage of that £7bn has already gone straight into the pockets of private providers to cut waiting lists.

Further evidence, if this be needed, that England's Labour Party cares little about climate change and sustainability. Ed Miliband must be grinding his teeth at night. #Labour #OilProduction #FossilFuels #tiebacks #climate
