Social media is certainly bad for children and young people, but we must remember that Brianna was murdered, in the context of anti-trans rhetoric and hate coming from many, incl. printing presses. This move to brand social media as the issue allows politicians & papers to cleanse their incitement.

Green party as main opposition???

Kemi Badenoch vows to repeal Climate Change Act Tory leader says she would replace it with ‘cheap energy’ strategy, ending decades-long consensus on climate

We've had the driest spring and summer on record, which means farmers can't water their crops, lower yields, higher food prices, and worsening of the cost of living crisis!
Climate change effects ordinary people in their daily lives!

FUN FACT: Bottled water companies do not produce water, they produce plastic bottles.

Would love to see someone from the north jump into the @greenparty.org.uk deputy leader race

With Huddersfield, Sheffield and Liverpool all key spots for #GreenParty growth - let's give them a voice

I was hoping @elliechowns.bsky.social would throw her name into the deputy race as I love how she represents rural voters and speaks loudly against global issues 💚

But teaming up with @adrianramsay.bsky.social for leadership is a mistake IMO. The greens need bolder leadership and he isnt it sadly 💔

Ur my hero

We obsess over the angry young men going Reform. But what of the anxious young women going Green? | Gaby Hinsliff Desire for a politics that cares about global and local injustice is sharpening the political gender divide, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Very much the case the @greenparty.org.uk is the home of those angry at the lack of action on stopping the genocide in Gaza, climate crisis and protecting human rights

I wouldnt call them anxious though, I'd call them caring, passionate and ofc anti-fascist!

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When in @greenparty.org.uk we talk about Gaza or taxing the super rich, there's often one person who asks "why is this a Green issue?"

The same forces who are protecting wealth and power (& the military complex) are the same people that are destroying our climate & nature.

Text Block: "Adrian Ramsay's time as co-leader may be coming to an end. With his silence on the supreme court ruling, I support his ousting. Carla is the future of the Greens and I believe strongly in her message.But I do not want to lose a voice for the countryside greens, being from Dorset I support a co-leader or deputy who champions nature based farming and local wildlife recovery."

4 @greenparty.org.uk constituencies: 2 urban climate action hubs and 2 rural nature positive districts. 💚

We have the space for 3 figureheads in our #GreenParty leadership, one should be a voice for us country greens. 🌳

‼️The government now needs to act on the side of science, lived experiences and human rights.

🏳️‍⚧️ Legislate for gender to be used over sex. Banning women from women only spaces is ridiculous. #Trans women ARE women.

⚖️ The #SupremeCourt claims there's ambiguity in the law. Let's clear that up.

Department for Education confirms launch of natural history GCSE Campaigners have been calling for the qualification for years but plan stalled despite a curriculum being drawn up

Brilliant news on a Friday afternoon: gov will launch new natural history GCSE. It's taken Mary Colwell, @carolinelucas.bsky.social & others years of campaigning. (I'm praying it'll be introduced quickly enough for my children!)

The Green Party Needs New Leaders – And Fast | Novara Media The Greens could be the party to take on Reform. But their leaders are just too nice, argues Joe Todd.

The #GreenParty leadership needs to evolve

We played nice to be seen as a serious party that can win, and we did. But it's time to be bold and address the real issues of class in the UK. Doesnt automatically mean we need a change in leaders but a change in narrative

Only 5 more votes and this could have been a new Green Councillor! 💔

Never think voting Green Party is a wasted vote! If you want it, vote for it! 💚

"As far as Im concerned, going for growth is without a doubt priority number one"

Not a quote from our alleged left wing Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves but Christopher Luxon, the Conservative national PM of NZ. Surprised? I'm not

Labour is unrecognisable, happily pushing Tory policies but in red

The public have made their view clear; the two-party system of old is gone, yet our voting system is keeping it on life support against their will. It's time for a National Commission on electoral reform, to identify and implement a voting system that ensures all votes are equal and every voice is heard. - Ellie Chowns, Green MP, Vice-Chair of the APPG for Fair Elections

We agree with @elliechowns.bsky.social 💯

Today MPs debate Proportional Representation. A proper national conversation about alternatives to our broken system is long overdue.

We're calling for a National Commission for Electoral Reform to design a voting system that's fit for the 21st century.

A 3rd runway "will mean that instead of circling London, flights can land" Says Rachel Reeves.

So what are they gonna do when the new third #heathrow runway reaches capacity and have planes circling London again? Build another runway? Draw the line. You can't have infinite growth on a finite planet

Devolution deal: BCP Council opts to join Heart of Wessex BCP Council has decided to join a new combined authority with Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset.

A 'Heart of Wessex' Mayor? Might as well start calling them the Arse of Wessex.

No one person can represent the likes of Bournemouth, Bridport, Exmoor, Salisbury and possibly Swindon because there's nothing remotely close about them at all.

Councils confirm Heart of Wessex devolution bid despite concerns Councils in Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset could form a new Heart of Wessex combined authority.

#Dorset is big enough, I'm from south Dorset and always need to be reminded there's a north Dorset, how can a mayor spreading 4 councils really take time to care & accurately allocate funds across such a massive space - we aren't one city. Give the powers to councils.

This is dangerous and puts trans youth in an incredibly precarious position.

Streeting is ignoring trans voices, ignoring the risk the ban poses and ignoring the desperate need for gender affirming care.

The ban must be challenged and immediately reversed.
