Help us beat Reform and elect the next Green MP! There's talk of a by-election in the Central Suffolk and North Ipswich constituency. This is next door to my seat and has lots of Green councillors. Join us at the first action day this Sunday. actionnetwork.org/events/centr...

#Gaza “...the audience are reminded disruptions will not be permitted while the committee conducts its business” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La) said but starving, bombing & killing babies is ok? #GazaGenocide www.huffpost.com/entry/ben-je...

🔴Bearly Newsworthy: What Price Belonging? The Government's new Immigration White Paper is less a grand strategy than 'a longer waiting room, a higher bill, and a hierarchy of worth dressed up as reform' reports The Bear www.bylinesupplement.com/p/bearly-new...

"In nature nothing exists alone." - Rachel Carson

Immigration is a beautiful thing and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️

For #PublicHealth, control of our broken #FoodSystem has to be taken back from #BigFood, which includes limits on advertising. There is #NoRightToAdvertise www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Rather than send these men to prison, why not get them to plant trees? 🌳🌳🌳Between 2001 & 2023 the UK lost some 563,000 hectares of tree cover - 15% loss. Councils, companies, housebuilders, HS2, farmers, landowners...all culpable & unconvicted. 2 stupid fools, one tree & this. #sycamoregap #trees

Malvern Spa Association Well Dressing Week. What's not to like? ❤️💦💧 #WaterIsLife #MalvernHills

Some juxtapositions are simply the best. Laugh? I nearly bought one.

Pondering for the day - “The planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form.” David Orr

#Chalkstreams are rare & irreplaceable habitat. The wealthy interests behind #ReformUK helped to deliver the omnishambles of #Brexit. Now this FFS….. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#VoteGreen today! We might not have any elections here in Birmingham today, but to everyone who CAN vote - PLEASE do so. Vote as if your kids are asking you in 20 years time "you knew about the #ClimateCrisis and you STILL didn't vote for @greenparty.org.uk?!"

Reassure people they can tactically vote to keep out Reform tomorrow (May 1st) by voting for.. 🟢 GREEN in these places: stopreformuk.vote/for/greens 🔶 LIBDEM in these places: stopreformuk.vote/for/libdems 🙋 INDEPENDENT in these places: stopreformuk.vote/for/independ...

So #NHS staff are unproductive and overpaid? Please take two minutes to watch this. #frontlineworkers youtu.be/eVxagBnriTE?...

"Both species consoled each other in a similar way to humans, with behaviours including embracing, hand-holding, and touching." Care - it is built deep in us. Let's reject philosophies that try to drive it out www.bbc.com/news/article...

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Local government is serious business. It deserves representatives who care about the areas they represent. Greens show up, do the work, and put communities first. Reform offer slogans, not service—and no real experience at the local level to boot.

When asked by BBC News NI for a response, #Kneecap replied: "Statements aren't aggressive, murdering 20,000 children is though." #Gaza #Palestine www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

Yet another eff up. The Environment Agency is meant to be controlling and monitoring this.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that federal authorities may once again seek reporters’ phone records and compel their testimony in leak investigations, reversing a policy that was designed to protect journalists from intrusive government efforts to identify and prosecute sources.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

A hallmark of fascism is to attack the judiciary.

"Farage sparks furious backlash after claiming children with special educational needs are ‘over diagnosed’" www.msn.com/en-gb/health...

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Virginia deserved so much better 💔

Fake metal trees have been set into the concrete ground of the Amazonian host city of this year’s #COP30 climate summit in Brazil, providing scandalised contrasts with the once-living rich vegetation cleared in preparation for the summit. Total cop out. FFS. 🌴🌳🔥🌏 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘We obsess over the angry young men going Reform. But what of the anxious young women going Green?’ Good piece by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social on a political trend that’s been ignored in favour of the media’s bias towards a) Farage b) men in general www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“By going cap in hand to fossil fuel firms and millionaires in offshore tax havens, Nigel Farage is making it very clear who he’s working for—his elite mates—not us.” ✍️ @writesbright.bsky.social 👉 desmog.com/2025/04/25/nigel-farage-reform-uk-top-fundraiser-nick-candy-targets-oil-gas-donations/

Farage’s ReformUK was targeting donors in the oil and gas sector who were “very disillusioned”, party treasurer Nick Candy said A party of climate deniers bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry www.ft.com/content/b133...

EMERGENCY ACTION Join us we’re actively working to get coalition members on the ground! Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning after refusing to allow ICE agents into her courtroom. She was taken to the federal courthouse.

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️ Leading economists and ecologists say Part III of the Planning Bill must be changed because it creates a “licence to kill nature”. We agree: MPs must ignore the false rhetoric about nature being a block to growth—and #PausePartIII.

Water firms have been routinely breaking the law for years now. Mark our words: not a single water company boss will go to prison under these new laws.

➡️Businesses should pay taxes, right? 🚨Currently, Airbnb and short-term let owners enjoy a 100% discount on a property tax paid by most businesses! 💚We're putting an end to this. Scottish Greens are pushing to end these disastrous tax breaks.

Another day, another report highlighting the failure of privatised water. This time a report from the National Audit Office says water companies have overspent on infrastructure building due to lack of regulation. The experiment has failed. Time to take back control of our water.

Environmental campaigners were rightly wary of the UK Labour party in the 2024 election, though no-one believed it would be far worse than the Tories. "But here we are. Its legacy, if this terrible bill is approved, will be a grimmer, greyer, unhappier nation." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If a million kids are a threat to you. Perhaps you are the bad guys?

Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me three times, I have no shame.

" #Revolution doesn't have to do with smashing something; it has to do with bringing something forth. If you spend all your time thinking about that which you are attacking, then you are negatively bound to it. You have to find the zeal in yourself and bring that out." - #JosephCampbell.

“In 2019 I called out the gods of Silicon Valley. Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk. I was wrong. You are not gods. You are men and you are careless … You are collaborators. You are complicit in a regime of fear and cruelty.” The brilliant Carole Cadwalladyr www.ted.com/talks/carole...

Today, all of you helped shift the narrative. You can see it clearly in the wave of MAGA comments trying to drown us out, they’re rattled. Small towns across the Heartland drawing record-breaking crowds? That’s not something we’ve seen before.

It can exceptionally hard work being a rescue lurcher. 😉 #Lurchers #RescueLurchers

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

The VP is "too smart not to know that the nonsense he spouts is nonsense” www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-imm...

There is no Cost of Living Crisis. Supermarkets have permanently quadrupled their profits. Energy Companies have permanently x10ed their profits. It is a Cost of Greed Crisis and it needs to be reversed.
