Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

We had tens of thousands of years of history that was unrecorded. That doesn't mean nothing happened!

It's good that the bigots have found somewhere warmer and less obstructive to hang out instead of outside Green Party conference.

Sure, Darren. You switched to this party because of your environmentalism and it had nothing to do with your transphobia. Whatever you say www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Greens' Mothin Ali demands apology from Starmer for dangerous smear Starmarites are at it again, conflating Mothin Ali’s support for Iranian people with “support of the ayatollah” – cheap shot

Starmarites are at it again, conflating @mothinali.bsky.social’s support for Iranian people with “support of the ayatollah” – another cheap shot fired at the Greens.

The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.

Well below 200k I think.

Why is the Home Sec so intent on copying Reform immigration policy? 🤔

If the Govt is looking for a popular policy that will actually help fix the UK's problems...

A #WealthTax is backed by
61% Reform voters
81% LD voters
63% Tory voters
85% Green voters
88% Labour voters

It seems unlikely that Labour's membership has been stable over the last two years.

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

They won a by-election yesterday too with 67% of the vote. It's time @greenparty.org.uk was taken seriously.

Is it not the job of opposition leaders to hold the Prome minister to account?
It's not like he's been lying about Labour's drugs or sex work policy and being racist about their deputy leader.

For some reason, these days when I see a Toynbee article I'm reminded of my late grandmother telling us about the time when she was younger when she very publicly shat in here tights half way to work.

Last year Jessica's son got ill after playing in the River Thames. Her message to Environment Minister? Don't let our children get ill. Stop the illegal sewage.
