We need to accelerate the shift to renewables — but that’s not enough. We need a nationwide insulation programme, more domestic manufacturing, and real investment in green jobs.

UK political funding laws are not just a disgrace. They're actively anti-democratic. They openly encourage foreign wealth, which is not answerable to the laws of this country, to buy influence over people who should be responsible only to our own democracy. Labour's failure to act is indefensible.

The new Lord of Zionist Genocide. The stench of corruption and moral bankruptcy is unbearable.

Let's be like Iceland

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

Real world is not AI, flash cars, fancy houses The real world is Bees birds, insects, wildlife, marine life, a healthy ocean land and soil all of which are being destroyed ever faster by human economic growth living in a fake bubble divorced from reality of what really matters

It takes a massive brass neck to have your administration attack another president for being disrespectfully dressed in a meeting and then turn up to the pope's funeral in a blue suit.

The American taxpayer pays for Israel's universal healthcare and genocide. Get the treasonous Zionists out of Congress, business and education system.

Simply "lost concentration". On a hands free call. Drive through a stop sign. Killed a person who was cycling. Guilty of death by dangerous driving. Suspended sentence. Not even a life driving ban. This country is sick. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We need to act on plastic NOW, before it's too late. There's the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations coming up. Big oil undermined the negotiations last year; they see plastic as part of their future. @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social

Jewish Chronicle, Harpin, Akehurst, Guardian etc are trying to play an old tune on a broken fiddle. The world now knows criticising Zionism is not Antisemitic. Zionism is a RW political movement. Political figures in the UK can no longer be brought down with this trick skwawkbox.org/2025/04/25/a...

Virginia Giuffre, who was the first of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims to go public — accusing Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of recruiting her to join their sex trafficking ring — and who sued Prince Andrew for sexual assault, died on Friday. She was 41.

Baroness Jones tells LBC that Labour are pandering to the far right, just like the Conservatives and that it won't help Britain

💚 One week to go until you can vote for real hope and real change.

Labour MP @labourlewis.bsky.social : "It's our biggest trading partner, the EU. It's right on our doorstep. Culturally, we're far more aligned with it... That is where we should be placing most of our efforts." 100%. The UK government must prioritise our trading relationship with the EU.

Private shareholders made £3.6bn from owning our trains in the last decade. Yet the government is leaving our trains fully privately owned. Sign @weownit.org.uk's petition to demand they take our trains into public ownership - which is also Green Party policy, btw. weownit.org.uk/act-now/take...

Labour have cut benefits for people who are severely disabled. And are trying to out Reform in who can be crueler to migrants. Reject the politics of hate & fear. Vote for @greenparty.org.uk

#ClimateEmergency and #NatureCrisis are intimately interlinked www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Canadian politicians have long treated Palestine as something they can ignore, but that has been changing. “[People] have been engaging actively with their candidates to make it very clear that it’s not possible to ignore this genocide and that they absolutely need to take action.”

Zionism is a cancer on the West. It should be a proscribed terrorist ideology and eradicated.

MPs and peers oppose Donald Trump address to parliament during UK visit. Trump's invitation should be withdrawn. I will vote against his entry into UK parliament; will not attend any function where he is present. A felon, dictator, liar, threat to global peace must not be honoured by the UK govt.

Labour ministers are apparently ruling out scrapping the two-child benefit cap - in other words, choosing to keep 600,000 children in poverty. Meanwhile govt refuses to consider a wealth tax which could £24bn. Hard to find the words for this level of unnecessary cruelty.

Britain has the dirtiest rivers in Europe, the most expensive energy in Europe, the least reliable trains in Europe, the most overcrowded prisons in Europe and the widest gap between rich and poor in Europe. Could these things possibly be related?

And STILL the BBC (British Bullshit Corp) insist they are unbiased!

Keir Starmer was elected Prime Minister on the promise of delivering positive change. How's that going...?

Wes Streeting has ordered cost-cutting that could see the NHS axe more than 100,000 jobs. Labour wants to see thousands of jobs sacrificed at the altar of 'efficiency' rather than funding the NHS properly. The Green Party would fund our NHS and protect it from private interests.

It is clear British Steel must be brought into public hands. It's also clear that private ownership of public services has failed, with consumers paying billions of pounds over the odds for poor and unreliable services. Time to take back control of our public services.

The fence sitting won't work Starmer will have to choose between the EU and the US I agree with the vast majority of British people who think he should choose the EU

US Faces $6 Billion Loss as Canadian Tourism Nosedives Forward bookings from #Canada 🇨🇦 to the U.S. have fallen by more than 70% for every month through to the end of September compared to the same period last year. #ArtOfTheBANKRUPTCY #MOG8 #ElbowsUP www.newsweek.com/us-canada-to...

Jeff Bezos has more money than any human could spend - and he’s wasting it on planet-wrecking joy rides to space while people on earth starve. Why don’t we just tax the super-rich and use that money to fix wealth inequality AND the climate crisis?

Former Tory MP among 15 charged for alleged cheating connected to bets on timing of 2024 UK election. Inside information always helps. MPs are comparatively well paid. Why the insatiable urge for more and more? Seems to be a social sickness.

Listen up #liebour you are complicit

This is welcome news which I somehow missed from three week ago. One of the first fresh GCSEs in a decade will teach students about the climate crisis, sustainability and the natural environment. #Education #Sustainability #Climate www.positive.news/society/gree...

The Conservatives’ likely next leader Robert Jenrick has gone full on MAGA in a way that should disturb all UK citizens. He’s naming and highlighting independent UK judges he considers “Far Left”. His dog whistle reaches some of the most violent Far Right people in the country.

Labour MPs seem far more upset by Israel refusing them entry than by the past 18 months of genocide and ethnic-cleansing. That's quite revealing...
