I have signed a letter alongside colleagues on @gprc.bsky.social about the recent targeting of women in the party online. Please read👇

🚨 Trump and Putin are discussing Ukraine. Without Ukraine. Without Europe. 🇺🇦🇪🇺 We demand that the EU and its member states step up commitments to Ukraine's and Europe's security. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. Nothing about Europe without Europe.

GPEW supports HS2 in full. Labour, in government, are killing off rail investment and focussing on Heathrow.

While this government has ridden roughshod over climate rules and concentrated investment in London and the South East, Greens offer a different reality. With support for High Speed 2 in full and Northern Powerhouse Rail, we demand the north gets the investment it deserves. shorturl.at/vFPBn

Shame on this Labour government.

🇷🇸 We stand with the Serbian citizens protesting! These massive protests are an outcry for justice in a country ravaged by corruption, media restrictions & opponents’ repression. "People in Serbia deserve truth, accountability, and an apology. Europe hears you and supports you!" MEP Vladimir Prebilič

It shouldn’t take a freedom of information request to get this information. Once a coal tip has be reclassified as more dangerous that information should be made public. Our communities have suffered for generations. UK and Welsh governments are still failing them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's a difficult pill to swallow, the government trailing £3bn cuts to welfare, notably from Personal Independence Payments, thereby prioritising calming the markets over calming the legitimised fears of millions of disabled people now facing the loss of our independence. 1/3

As we go through the first year of local council budget setting under a Labour Government - listen to all the locally elected Labour councillors who were calling out the awful austerity of the Tory Government and justifying cuts because of the "financial situation" Feels the same to me.

Good thread.

It's great that officers at South Yorkshire police carry Naloxone, but it needs to be more widespread, in every public building, in every businesses first aid kit, on every bus and train. Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is vital in treating overdoses of Opioids. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Donald Trump’s threat against Greenland, an autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, is irresponsible and dangerous,” the new co-chairs of the European Green Party, Vula Tsetsi and @ciarancuffe.bsky.social , said. Full press release here: europeangreens.eu/news/trump-t...

Dear Wes Streeting, instead of wringing your hands in despair why don't you do something? For instance, mandate masks in all health care settings for a start. Instruct individuals and organisations to facilitate working from home if at all possible for anyone with a sore throat or other symptoms.

#Sheffield UK Women’s march is explicitly trans inclusive, and is expecting a counter demo from our local anti-trans agitator. If you’re in the area on January 18th, it’d be good to support.

📉 Food sales to the EU have fallen by a fifth since Brexit. 🚨 Leaving the EU has caused huge damage to our economy and communities, but we don't have to just take it on the chin. 🇪🇺 Now is the time to rejoin the Customs Union and begin repairing our relationship with the EU.

Well done Manchester! Let's undo all the damage of privatisation and deregulation.

I know I'm gonna piss people off saying this, but No, London shouldn't get any central government funds to expand their tube network for the time being. The money would be better spent upgrading public transport outside the capital, and building new mass transit insidecroydon.com/2024/12/29/t...

That moment when you realise you've shared your Amsterdam to do list with your MIL 😶😂

Our best wishes are with every fox out there today trying to escape the hunts. And a big fuck you to the cowards that are hunting these animals for kicks

I am here from Poland to tell you that you don’t successfully take on populists by handing them the keys to your democracy and hoping they’ll bring jt back without scratches.

For anyone who may need these over Xmas…just in case

If you want to know what a truly brave woman looks like when speaking on transgender issues, look no further than Sandi.

Greens, I've been saying this *for years* now. Thank god people in the media are now just saying it straight, like @lewisgoodall.com. Stop blaming the media for the lack of coverage, start blaming people like @greenpartymolly.bsky.social and the rest of GPEx.

Appointing Peter Mandelson to be the ambassador to the US is *exactly* the kind of appointment Labour implied it would stop when it was in opposition. 1. Politicises what is usually an official role 2. Cronyism, again 3. Mandelson has been a paid lobbyist/public affairs guy for almost 15 years

Today is a poignant day for survivors everyday. Gisele has been an inspiration to all of us. Solidarity with Gisele and a reminder that #ShameMustChangeSides

Sheffield has the UKs first Voorrangsplein junction Drivers seem to understand it, although some are using it as a roundabout

Simply put, the Green Party spent 2015-2020 obsessed with electoral pacts and alliances, and we didn't actually get anywhere. In 2024, when we weren't obsessed with standing down, we quadrupled our MPs! I don't think going back to standing down again is a positive step. End of.

If you see this drop a pic from the last place your passport was stamped. (Croatia) I got 2 hands full of cactus needles about 5 minutes after this photo was taken

Welcome onboard the very first direct high-speed train linking Paris 🇫🇷 and Berlin 🇩🇪 operated in cooperation by SNCF and DB! See you in 8hours Berlin 🙌

Good reasons to join the @greenparty.org.uk; Propagate socialism, Have a good time, Stave off depression, Stop climate change. Bad reasons to join the Green Party and tbh we'd rather you didn't; Pursue Labour party factional beef and constantly talk about Jeremy sodding Corbyn.

In the USA, your cancer is a source of profit for pharmaceuticals, and a cost to your insurance company. Its CEO milks your premiums. For neither of them is your recovery or pain-relief an ambition. Let's restore the #NHS as fully public-owned and profit-free. Illness should not be for profit.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Fellow students and other caffeine deprived people, I have 1 question. WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE BATTENBURG CAKE????
