A copy of a statement from elected Green councillors and London Assembly Members, condemning the Government's move to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation
Our London elected Greens stand with Palestine Action.
On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.
Well said.
👉NEW -- Palestine Action ban threatens all our civil liberties

Pouring paint on a plane is hardly 9/11. Non-violent protesters are not terrorists.

What does being "proscribed" mean & how will it impact activity related to/supporting Palestine Action?
Netpol has produced a guide - headline is any support will be an offence BUT it can't be applied retrospectively. Ban expected from 4 July.

TfL have finally bought genuinely clean energy for the tube, trains and trams in London for the first time.
Today's deal will get TfL up to just 5% of their energy from renewables.
Mayor must accelerate this. We need 100% clean energy on TfL now!

Political pressure means a reprieve for some who were set to be cruelly harmed, but this is way too small a concession to accept.
Greens demand the full withdrawal of cuts to PIP and any changes only through working with Disabled people to get it right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Stop strip-searching children.
My statement following the outcome of the misconduct hearing for the officers who strip-searched Child Q - 2 dismissed/1 final warning. We’re being told that race played no part in the violence that Child Q was subjected to.

Richard Tice: Glastonbury is not safe for me. Reform deputy was invited to debate green "eco-populist" Zack Polanski.
Snowflake.
It will be a disaster if @teamlabouruk.bsky.social and @10dowingstreet.bsky.social doesn't listen to these widespread concerns.
Hundreds of thousands of Pride marchers cross the Elizabeth Bridge in Budapest. The crowd carries on as far as you can see.
Congratulations to Budapest on a record-breaking Pride! 🏳️🌈
200,000 people turned out in defiance of the far-right government's attempt to ban the event, with threats of fines for attendees and imprisonment for organisers.
Freedom prevails when we fight for it.

The Mayor has finally admitted he is not on track to meet his traffic reduction targets to get to Net Zero by 2030.
This isn’t just about data and targets, we need urgent London-wide action to give everyone safe, convenient and accessible alternatives to using a car.

My climate emergency motion in 2018 came out of brilliant campaigning by so many Londoners.
It’s great the Mayor responded quickly and positively as that has led to clear net zero targets to which Green AMs continue to hold him accountable. Just five years left!
