How much warmer was summer 2026 than 1976 for the UK? Interesting differences between daytime (Tmax) and nighttime (Tmin). 2026 was much warmer than 1976, including in rural areas. (The only exception is daytime temperatures in Scotland.)
We want to be optimistic, because cracking down on Big money donations would be huge for our chances of rewiring the UK economy to work for ordinary people and not just those mega-rich donors. But... 1/4 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

At Reading Pride the Green Party ran a poll to see what people think about the idea of a new data centre. When we ran out of balls people started voting with sweeties. As you can see the methods used surpassed the quality standards of “JL partners”. Have your say: www.tvpdc.co.uk/have-your-say
It's numbers like these that had us win in three new wards for the first time at the last locals. Help us keep up the momentum! join.greenparty.org.uk
Who else is coming to join the party? (Pun intended)
I fought a few wildfires as a much younger man back in Australia. They are no joke and now they are here too. www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/2645136... Here's an older article where Reading Labour called it student politics drivel to point this out. www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/2314712...

Yes, I pay myself rent in order to avoid tax, but it is coincidentally £1 less than the level at which I would have to declare it under Parliament's transparency rules.
Nigel Farage is correct about one thing. It’s the people vs the establishment. Reform are literally the establishment. And it’s the Green Party on the side of the people. Wealth tax. Rent controls. Now. Join.greenparty.org.uk
Today it’s exactly two months since I became a Councillor. People have contacted me from day 1, some asking me to pick up cases that were abandoned years ago and some with new cases. So far, I have raised 32 cases to the council, successfully solved 4, helped a community space reopen and gave hope!
MFW I'm thinking about where I can go to escape the heat.

I remember when the government suppressed that report on the impact of climate change a few months back. We still haven't seen it. We only saw the highlights and that was that it was essentially an existential crisis. It said it was the biggest threat we face. Fucking silence though.
Today is now the hottest day in May on record with Heathrow and Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 35°C Until yesterday the highest temperature in May was 32.8 °C, but we've now exceeded that record on consecutive days by a full two degrees Celsius 🌡️
Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.
Straight back out patting babies, kissing dogs and picking up casework. Green means you get hard work, year round.

Zoë is the most amazing, committed, intelligent, community focused, insightful Green colleague and will be a fantastic Mayor of Hackney. Her campaign showed we can reject the politics of division and bring real hope. So happy!! 💚👏💚👏
BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!
Just did a local TV interview about Greens doing well in the Reading Borough Council elections with this as my location. No explanation offered or given.
We also beat Labour to win the popular vote and all 11 of our councillors are in wards in one constituency: Reading Central!
🎉 6 Green councillors elected in Reading! 💚 Huge congratulations to Reading Green Party.
Loving the Green gains in our neighbouring county! 💚 #LocalElections2026 #GreenParty #Berkshire

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.
Dear Labour supporters. If you want to put me off voting Green rather than Labour, the key is *not* to attack the Greens, but to ask yourself why I, a life-long Labour supporter, who has voted Labour at every GE since 1983 (my first), can't support Labour. Look at yourselves. Look at your party.
Reform, Labour and the Tories all take money from oil & gas giants and private healthcare interests. That tells you who they’re really working for. The Green Party doesn’t take that money. We answer to you - and to the future of our planet. Vote Green on Thursday. 💚
Amazing to have Green MP @carladenyer.bsky.social in Reading at the weekend helping get our message of a fairer, greener and cleaner town out. Join the Green Party and help elect Greens join.greenparty.org.uk
