"We must choose either champagne for a few, or clean drinking water for all." - Thomas Sankara

Polling is consistent, and twitter isn't the real world. Reform are capitalising on the failure of labour and the centre. Wake up, or lose to the far-right. Join the Greens and get organised. greenparty.org.uk

Has anyone heard if those statues that got a bit of chalk on them at the trans rights protest yesterday survived the night?

We need to talk about yet another example of market failure

Research shows that Scottish adults given the right to vote at 16 have continued to vote in higher numbers than those who had to wait until age 18. In a democracy, surely more people voting is a good thing. Votes at 16 should help with that.

The promise of Communion and Confirmation money (and the discomfort of telling your kid that they won't get it but their pals all will) is the finger in the dam of Irish Catholicism. jrnl.ie/6678969

Jim Jarmusch interviewing David Cronenberg in Interview magazine is fantastic: www.interviewmagazine.com/film/david-c...

You guys Elon Musk appointed the head of the IRS and President Trump didn’t even know about it.

On Wednesday, just days before her wedding, 25-year-old Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza. Ten members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Reform are only offering the same old slop - tax cuts for the wealthy, even more privatisation and less democracy, just like Farage’s buddy, Trump

Paul is a committed trade unionist and working hard already for residents in Lambeth. There's a real opportunity here to replace yet another Labour councillor with a hardworking Green champion. There's 3 weeks to make a difference. Get involved! 👇🏼

Why does everyone want to build their own alternative? Why not just join alternative that is already there? The Greens want a wealth tax, workers rights, climate justice, & public ownership. They’ve got a democratic structure. Stop waiting for perfection, glorious leaders, & cadre opportunities

Mine’s a pint of Unesco… brewers chase heritage status for British cask ale

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...

And another Labour council gone. Get ready for May 1st🍿

Good luck to @haringeygreens.bsky.social ‘s Ruairidh Paton

If you want to tax the obscene wealth of the super-rich, vote Green.

The Lib Dems are busy delivering a leaflet today saying only they can beat Labour In a ward where the result was this last time. Shameless!

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause. Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess. Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

how's that rational system of economic redistribution working out lxds? haven't checked in for a while but assume rational economic actors have lifted us all to worldwide hyper abundance?

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Water should be run for all of us, not for private companies to line their pockets. Councillor Laura Manston says we need to take water away from the private companies and back into our hands. What do you think? #greenparty #water #renationalisewater #labour #sewage #surfersagainstsewage #weownit

New Green Party advert just dropped explaining why you should vote for them. And its a cracker!

Why isn't this headline news? Walid Ahmad is the first Palestinian CHILD to die in one of Israel's prisons. He was beaten and starved to death.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Here's your first look at tomorrow's front page 📰 Truth of medics' deaths exposed – plus, an exclusive interview with Patrick Harvie on his decision to step down 👀

Attacking ambulances, executing medics, then tossing their bodies in a mass grave. If Hamas had committed this crime, it would trigger deafening global outrage. But Israel did it, and so most people are left unaware it even happened 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/why-isnt-t...

With welfare cuts from Labour, rent hikes from the SNP, and bills going up, let nobody tell you there's no alternative. It's called a wealth tax. Only the super-rich would pay, but we could cancel the cuts, restore public services, and invest in our future. www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2505146...

The last three Republican presidents wrecked the economy. The last three Democratic presidents had to fix things. newrepublic.com/article/1933...

Today is Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) 🏳️‍⚧️ TDOV was created in 2009 to celebrate Trans existence while also raising awareness of the challenges Trans people face everyday. #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #EDI #LGBTQI #TransRightsNow #TransRightsAreHumanRight

How could anyone deny this is a clear war crime? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

“Some of them were shot in the head and chest, and they were buried in deep holes to prevent them from being found” mondoweiss.net/2025/03/the-...

We compare and contrast how, in 1936, Columbia University expelled a student for staging anti-Nazi protests and how Columbia has now punished 22 students for protesting against Israel's war on Gaza.

Legal routes have been closed. If you want people to have the right papers then make it easier to get them.

Only the Greens would tax the wealth of the super rich to fund our public services, not the other way round

So the official position of the white supremacist government is, unsurprisingly, that “race is a biological reality.” Apparently, not believing this is “insane.” Important to note that for fascists, ALL the identity categories (race, sex, etc.) have to be “real” and frozen so they can manage them

How is it possible that the wealth of the super-rich has exploded, but we're facing billions in austerity cuts? How have banks, energy companies, and oil and gas made record profits while foodbank use has reached 3.1 million? We need to tax the rich.

So happy to live in a democracy, where I choose to vote for: 1. the Tories, 2. the red Tories, 3. the yellow Tories, 4. fascists.

This is one of those posts which sounds hyperbolic but it simply isn’t. This is the truth. There are ways to be careful but if you are not a citizen- and tbh even if you are- the USA is not a safe place to be now.
