“Protest is part of how democracy works. In a past life, Starmer himself represented climate activists like those in court this week.” @carolinelucas.bsky.social Instead of handing down lengthy prison sentences for peaceful protest, how about we prioritise urgent climate action? act.gp/4aBennk

We’ve lost a Greenpeace legend today. Pete Wilkinson, founder of Greenpeace UK in the 1970s, was still campaigning right up to the end. His passion and directness, always speaking truth to power, never wavered. Rest in peace, Pete.
