Music, reading, animals, environmental protection, renewable energy, politics, electoral reform & PR, EU Rejoiner. Real success can only come if there is a change in our societies, our economics and in our politics. David Attenborough. Wise words.
Please Sir Keir, don't listen to Blair or Trump. They're both war criminals.
Also, if you do the Greens will rise in the polls and your last remaining supporters will despair.
Remember, keep reminding yourself, the emperor has no clothes. The rest of us can see that. (Except Farage).
We need to invest in Renewable Energy not tax breaks for oil & gas companies who want to carry on with business as usual - at our, and the planets, expense.
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Hey #BBC #TimDavie #FionaBruce #bbcqt
The game's up.
#ReformUK #NigelFarage
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.
Keir Starmer when you were running for Labour leader you promised to introduce this legislation to stop the UK being dragged into illegal wars - it's time to show you were serious about that.
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
As we used to say on Twitter (before it become the X cesspool) #GetPRDone 💚
Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.
This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.
And we're making hope normal again - together.

So true and well done to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for calling these Sky reporters out on this. Why do the media keep repeating Farage's & Reform's misinformation instead of investigating their claims & doing some journalism?
Totally agree 💚

We can now bring you the full voting tallies: Green Party - 14,980 Reform UK - 10,578 Labour Party - 9,364 Conservative Party - 706 Liberal Democrats - 653 Monster Raving Loony Party - 159 Advance UK - 154 Rejoin EU Party - 98 Libertarian Party - 47 Social Democratic Party - 46 Communist League - 29
For Europeans looking in:
- The Greens are the only party in England advocating a new EU referendum.
- Pro brexit Labour lost.
- Pro brexit, anti ECHR and right wing Reform party lost.
This might be a big moment in Britain - turning away from the far right.
Good Morning - This amazing news. 💚💚💚. Congratulations to Hannah and a huge Thank You to all the hard working suporters, canvassers, door knockers and leafleteers.

@mariannevelvart.bsky.social A quick pic taken at dawn this morning in Norway. It's not the best shot in the World but I thought the light was amazing.
Yes.
Preservation of life is government's highest priority.
Drug policy should be based on evidence, peer-reviewed science, careful expert consideration.
