A line up of enthusiastic activists in Abbey Hey & Denton Green all out for polling day. Individuals hold up placards with slogan "Vote Green."
A very tight by-election showing real progress for @greenparty.org.uk . We reconnected with great people, seeking to win a seat for the amazing Hannah as the local MP. #GortonAndDenton
Oh no. Vicki was such an inspiring and caring person. Thanks for sharing as it's truly terrible news 💔😢
Maybe they should consider changing the name of the party..

We must break the chokehold of the super-rich over climate policy by taxing their extreme wealth, banning their lobbying and instead put those most affected by the climate crisis in the front seat of climate decision-making,” said Amitabh Behar.
PRESS RELEASE: A person from the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year🔥
Our new report exposes how the super-rich are using their influence to keep the world hooked on fossil fuels.

As Reeves travels to Riyadh to discuss trade, Saudi Arabia is in the middle of an execution spree. The UK must not cosy up to regimes with appalling human rights records.
Trade deals can’t come at the cost of our values; our govt must not prioritise profit over human rights.

Red ink line drawing says, "Israel has no red line." Drawings include buildings, a tent, a military drop, pastries, body armor, and maps of Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine. A sailboat and a globe are also depicted. @khadija.draws
Thousands of civilians killed.
Food, water, and aid weaponised.
Gaza reduced to rubble.
These are red lines, which the Israeli gvmt continues to cross.
The UK gvmt must take action now to avoid complicity in these atrocities. SHARE to amplify. #RedLineForGaza

Crew member Greta Thunberg aboard the boat Alma sends a message as the Global Sumud Flotilla fleet is only miles away from 20 unidentified vessels.
Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis.
Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet.
Just big business & their own interests.

Stop scapegoating migrants.
Once responsible for housing in this country, he could have built more social homes, ended right to buy, brought in rent controls...
The housing system needs a total rethink to become centred on providing truly affordable homes & not landlord profits.
Well done Katie,!
Huge congratulations to Katie and the whole team.
So happy to see a brand new Green councillor in Liverpool! 🎉
Screenshot of a headline which says "'Profound concern' as scientists say extreme heat 'now the norm' in UK", with a subtitle that reads "Increasing frequency of heatwaves and flooding raises fears over health, infrastructure and how society functions."
Scary to see extreme heat become the norm in the UK - this will cost more and more lives.
What is govt doing to protect us from these effects of climate change that are already with us?
And how can they justify giving go-ahead to airport expansion which will worsen the crisis?
It's #CleanAirDay so we're taking a look at the ways in which advertising drives air pollution.
From cars, to flights to fossil fuels: if it pollutes there's probably an advert for it!

Big digital billboards can emit 11 homes' worth of energy and cause harmful light pollution - but local authorities aren't allowed to take this into account when deciding whether to allow them to be built. This week I called for this to be changed #BetterWithoutBillboards @adfreecities.bsky.social
Here. Then, the White City junction is outrageous. Plus outside the Victoria Warehouse where we used to have a stunning Walter Kershaw art mural depicting Trafford Park.
Today marks nine years since Jo Cox MP was murdered by a far-right extremist while serving her constituents in Batley and Spen.
Jo dedicated her life to building a fairer, more compassionate society, and her belief that “we have more in common than that which divides us” continues to resonate.
Excellent thread showing very clearly why vehicles with high fronts are so lethal.
I stood in front of a parked Range Rover last night and the bonnet height was at my shoulder level - well above my centre of gravity.
Cars with high bonnets should have no place on city streets.

It's 3 years today since Shell was given the go-ahead to drill for new gas at Jackdaw field. It was later ruled unlawful, but self-styled "green" chancellor Rachel Reeves made clear she doesn't care 👇
