Ship collisions and noise are pushing whales to the brink–but there’s a simple solution. Slowing down ships could save thousands of whales and other marine life. Urge your leaders to commit to real ocean protection at the upcoming global summit! action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-6-...

NEWS! Trump uses Wotsit to unlock iPhone buff.ly/G1o1EF0

"Calling a genocide a genocide is not antisemitic"

"Foreign scientists are leaving, citing cost pressures and less funding for research." That'll be the Brexit! inews.co.uk/news/world/b...

Donald Trump is blackmailing the EU to buy even more fossil gas. Our leaders are now forced to choose: a future of gas dependency or renewable freedom. Tell them to break free from fossil fuels! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-04...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

The mainstream media is letting the country down. Badly. If you support Bylines Network as a citizen journalism (ie democratic and pluralistic) alternative... ...then please chip in! We're changing the system. 👇

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Trump the Driller Killer…

Gaza is a ‘killing field’ where people are being starved. How long will the world tolerate this? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What do you even say to this? www.instagram.com/p/DIZGlHjCYWd/

We can disagree on many things in politics and still be friends, but if you can see Israel bombing the last functioning parts of the last functioning hospital in Gaza city and excuse this behaviour, I don't want to know you

Together we can show what a real alternative to the far right looks like. Vote Green on May 1st 💚

'Cymraeg isn’t just for classrooms.' A new poem by Llinos Dafydd in response to the Welsh Language Commissioner’s five-year plan — for everyone who wants to siarad Cymraeg everywhere.

The pronatalist stuff is about power, not kids. If it were about more kids, they'd be full of kid-friendly policies like universal basic income that includes kids, universal healthcare, childcare, and pre-K. But what they want is women subservient to men, jobs for men, and growth without immigrants.

Thank you to @carladenyer.bsky.social for joining @nclgreenparty.bsky.social and North East Greens across Northumberland, County Durham and Byker this weekend. Great to meet some brilliant people who will make excellent @greenparty.org.uk councillors. Change is coming.

If crashes causing death and injury with this frequency were happening on any other mode of transport there would be a massive investigation and all journeys by that mode stopped until cause determined and future mitigation in place. 🤷‍♀️

Welcome to our everyday hell, fund managers.

Many people in Lambeth have had enough of a Labour Party that does not listen and ploughs on doing what a small cabinet decides. We need @paulvalentineactor.bsky.social to win the #HerneHill #LoughboroughJunction by election on 1st May. He’s the ONLY candidate that can beat Labour. #VoteGreen 💚👇🏼

Quick question, would it be easier to figure out which peers definitely haven’t broken House of Lords ethics rules at this point?

First efforts at grafting. Bramley apple tree being trained as an espalier. Bramley on the left with three grafted Cox scions on the right.

Go Bob and team! Thanks so much. If you run out, we can provide more 😀

Well said!

😎 Still beaming from the amazing election win! 💚 Great talking to @turnleftmedia.co.uk on why this historic Green breakthrough is happening? 👇🏼

The reputation of the House of Lords is already in the gutter - more political allies and party donors being added only damages its reputation further. Add your name to our letter. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/169621/...

The world has already discovered more coal, oil and gas than it is safe to burn. This is our chance to tell our government to stop new drilling in the North Sea, end licensing for new exploration, and fund a just transition to clean energy. act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4262?ut...

Great to see Ruairidh in the Evening Standard: We spoke to more than 2,000 residents and we heard the same story time and again. People...feel abandoned by politicians who don’t care about them. We're going to build something different! 💚 www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Support Ukraine, not Trump. Join the World Vs Trump letter: action.eko.org/a/world-lead...

Rupert Lowe is celebrating that convicted woman beater James McMurdock will be on his Rape Gang inquiry panel! 🤢 Reform UK and anyone who supports them are human sewage!

Trump spokesperson says tariff on China goods is 145%, not 125%. How can any business plan? Trump is a cult leader. No evidence, analysis or rational debate needed for any policy. His followers love it. His word is the law, challengers silenced & exiled. Massive failure of education & democracy.

A twice-a-day pill for the most common type of advanced breast cancer has been approved for the NHS in England and Wales in what scientists say is a 'landmark moment'

Great to see Yorkshire Bylines in the UK create more awareness of forever chemicals! @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk @realerinbrockovich.bsky.social @markruffalo.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @sharonudasin.bsky.social @rachelfrazin.bsky.social

We're overcomplicating it if we think it is ANYTHING other than this. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE. The Great Grift continues. 🤬

"Plastics recycling" is essentially a con. Instead we are choking the planet (and our own bodies) with #PlasticWaste and #PlasticPollution www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hats off to Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. Unlike too many others, she refuses to bow to Trump. “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness,”. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

‘Toxic cocktail’: almost 200 pesticides found in European homes

Great to visit Credenhill Park Wood and see the brilliant work being done to protect nature, boost biodiversity, and ensure green spaces are accessible for everyone. A reminder of how vital it is to invest in our environment—for wildlife, for people, and for future generations

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
