It’s staggering that Labour is even considering granting new licences for fossil fuel drilling. They clearly cannot be trusted on climate. They either don’t understand the climate crisis or they don’t care. #VoteGreen

Expanding Heathrow because it's no longer Europe's busiest airport has to be one of the stupidest reasons yet. After five heat waves this year, more capacity for the most climate damaging form of travel would be vandalism and weak leadership. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...

With temperatures like what we’ve seen the past few months becoming more and more common, a maximum temperature in the workplace just makes sense. Why force people to work in conditions that could negatively affect their health?

The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · 3d ago

If it’s too hot to work safely, you shouldn’t have to. That is why our MP Hannah Spencer is introducing a Bill for maximum workplace temperatures.

The last few months have proven that the climate crisis is a serious threat to our country, yet the Prime Minister is still considering allowing more North Sea oil drilling. Worcester Green Party stands united with the rest of The Green Party in calling for Rosebank and Jackdaw to be rejected!

We are on the front line of climate breakdown. This is an emergency and politicians must act like it. Perhaps Andy Burnham could explain the "pragmatism" of drilling in the North Sea to the residents of Worcestershire with burnt out homes. www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/...

Possible cut from 80% down to as little as 50% could add millions of tonnes of CO2 to emissions and comes amid UK heatwaves

How do we send an alert back to the Government to tell them that there is a climate emergency and they had better start doing something about it!

Thanks for the noise alert thing, Andy Burnham. The people experiencing wildfires have probably already noticed. Maybe you could commit to not extracting fossil fuels now?

Andy Burnham has expressed sympathy for people here in the West Midlands where wildfires have been burning, but his sympathy is hollow because he still refuses to talk about the underlying cause - the climate crisis.

The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · last wk.

Yesterday, on the hottest day of the year so far, we saw homes set ablaze and people hospitalised. Wildfires are raging across the UK, almost 3/4's of England is now in drought, and nurses are collapsing on duty as a result the extreme heat. Burnham must start tackling the climate crisis now.

Britain is burning through its fifth heatwave of the summer. And the government is considering drilling for MORE oil and gas. Rosebank and Jackdaw must be stopped.

It’s shocking that when the UK and many of the countries upon whose food production we rely are all suffering severe drought, the new Labour administration sticks its fingers in its ears and pretends everything’s fine. This is Johnson-level irresponsibility.

The "Burnham bounce" has largely been driven by Green voters coming back to the fold. Labour MPs warn that spells trouble if more oil and gas is approved following a summer of extreme weather.

"I want you to panic." But not from @thunberggreta.bsky.social —this time from a firefighter whose face betrays his despair—he understands all too well how deeply political denial still hinders action.

Please do sign this petition. We’re in nature and climate crises that are worsening rapidly; the government needs to *act* like we are in an emergency situation and inform the public on where we’re at and what needs to be done.

The lack of clear communication from our governments about the threats from climate & nature breakdown leaves a vacuum - into which vested interests are pouring disinformation. Governments can’t sit this out and “leave it to the market”. www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

‘The Children of the Red King’ book series by Jenni Nimmo is much better if you have a young person in your life who enjoys reading about magical worlds. The writing is of much higher quality than JKR’s and to the best of my knowledge, the author doesn’t use the profits to harm marginalised groups.

Absolutely. I went to uni in Manchester in the 1990s when it was still affordable. Now my son’s girlfriend, who also went to uni there, has a really good job with a Manchester law firm but can’t afford to live where she works. This is a ludicrous situation and it has to change.
