Ed Miliband’s statement on Israel is only a first step. We need to go further: a full ban on goods, services & investment. Labour is still shamefully refusing to recognise the Gaza genocide. We must have a full arms embargo, full sanctions & an end to military collaboration.

I don't think that Stats for Lefties was suspended for being trans. I say this as someone that was suspended by the same Green Party body as Eleanora, in my case it was for being trans back in 2021 when the party was in a very different place than it is today. www.opendemocracy.net/en/trans-uk-...

Under the UK’s non-proportional voting system, the far-right AfD in Saxony-Anhalt would today have a huge, dominating majority of representatives - on a minority of the vote - with the power to be as awful as they wanted.

Sian Berry MP@sianberry.bsky.social · 5d ago

Molly is right - democracy itself is set to be crushed if Reform sneaks a majority. The case for a switch to a proportional system, where they simply cannot do this with a twenty-something vote share, BEFORE the next election grows by the day, and the PM cannot keep ruling this out.

I believe Zack is the best person to contest this seat for the Green Party, but we should all welcome the fact that our party is democratic enough to have this contest without the national party imposing any candidate on the local party.

🚨 NEW: Green Councillor Hamza Chowdhury says he will run against Zack Polanski to be the Green candidate in Holborn and St Pancras "We don’t need another MP who arrives during the election campaign, puts out a few leaflets and disappears once the votes are counted"

They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps. I say that's a polite euphemism and and that Farage and his mates are a bunch of fascists who hold views most Brits find deplorable. We just need to keep shining a light on them and exposing them for what they are.

Fossil fuels have to stay in the ground if we are to have a liveable future. It’s time for this Labour government to rule out Rosebank and Jackdaw.

The Government is letting data centre developers bypass local scrutiny... BUT they don't even know what the data centres are being used for 🤯 It's time to put the brakes on. It's time for a national data centre strategy.

The SNP have long promised a ban on cruel conversion practices, but time and again they have delayed. We can't wait for, or trust Westminster to deliver a watertight ban on these abusive practices; we need a Scotland-specific ban now.

In the Green Party any member can propose a policy - it's part of our constitution & the rest of the membership decide to debate it or not. When the media present that as the Green Party "proposing" a policy they're misleading you - worth asking why the billionaire press constantly attack us.

The Left That Talks to Itself

A Green Party victory statement shows how easily solidarity becomes political subculture when class, ownership and material power disappear from view.

Reform wants to decide who deserves a home based on where they were born. The answer to the housing crisis is more council homes and affordable rents, not division.

So moving to see real results for children so quickly from the London ULEZ 👏💚 Let us never forget what a political knife edge this policy faced before it came in. We need a new national Clean Air Act - Ella’s Law - to reduce health risks from air pollution everywhere. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Children's stunted lungs show recovery in ultra low emission zone

Children's lung capacity caught up with their peers in less polluted areas once a clean air zone came in, a study shows.

ULEZ was never a crack down on people driving, always a push for better respiratory health. 🚗 💨 “Examinations of London schoolchildren before and after the introduction of the city’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) found a restoration of lung capacity […] stunted by exposure to pollution”.
