THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.

We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.

The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

The irresistible rise of the Green party, the inevitable fall of ReformUK; the continuing decline of Labour and Conservatives ⬇️ Them's the breaks.
Consider also the tendency of Farage fans to NOT vote, the enthusiasm of Green supporters to go out and vote for good candidates. Big turnout in Gorton!

Labour losing in Gorton and Denton is the result of their whole election strategy being, pointing to Reform and saying we're not them, while pursuing Reform's policy platform.

If you want to say you're the alternative to something, you can't be exactly the same as that thing.

We’ve tracked the cases Sex Matters has intervened in since the Supreme Court ruling - including the recent High Court challenge brought by @goodlawproject.bsky.social

This is what the anti-Trans+ machine looks like in practice.

I think this by-election has made the Labour Party lose its mind

An openly progressive @greenparty.org.uk has sent Labour hurtling into the most regressive and reactionary hole in the political world. And they will struggle to climb out of it

It's a two-horse race between the Green Party and Reform and every vote counts.

People of Gorton & Denton, you have until 10pm to vote Green and make hope normal again.

Bridget Phillipson: "We shouldn't lose sight of the young women who suffered.."

Every cabinet minister, including Phillipson, knew Mandelson had stayed at Epsteins house after he was convicted & none of them spoke out publicly when he was appointed. Where was this concern then?

If you it know someone eligible to vote in this by election this should worry them regardless of who they plan to vote for! Share, retweet, aire it!

The state of it has revealed that cabinet ministers privately believe the greens are hammering us by deliberately raising the salience of Gaza in the constituency.

The Labour government object to us talking about Gaza.

Genocide is serious and they should hang their heads in shame for arming it, not complaining to journalists.

Not surprised they're distracting from their other failures - like addressing the cost of energy bills and rent.

This is a great Zack Polanski & Caroline Lucas interview.

It struck me when CL talked about going to other countries to 'learn the lessons' on drug policy and harm reduction.

Time for an honest grown up approach to drug use and the priority of harm reduction.

The New Statesman podcast on the Gorton & Denton by-election was really informative but a key point was missed. A Green vote isn’t tactical to keep Reform out. A Green vote in G&D is a vote of conscience for a political belief that matches your own. Labour have shown they are no longer a left party.

Big Oil is lobbying Congress for total immunity from any laws or lawsuits that could hold the industry accountable for fueling the climate crisis and lying about it.

We can’t let that happen.

Labour lost three council seats last night. 1 each to the Greens, Lib dems and Plaid. Reform were 2nd or 3rd in each.
The Greens also won and beat Reform in another local election.
So when they say vote Labour to stop Reform, they couldn't be more wrong. Vote almost anyone but Labour to beat Reform.

Labour minister falsely linked journalists to β€˜pro-Kremlin’ network in emails to GCHQ Exclusive: Josh Simons pressed intelligence officials to investigate reporters, in emails described as β€˜McCarthyite smear’

Utterly chilling insight into how Keir Starmer's team has been operating from the beginning. As others have been pointing out for years, the Labour Party and the country have been taken for a ride. There was a coup within the party, using a host of dirty tricks.
