Spot on from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social North Sea drilling makes no economic or energy security sense - but “the policy could scarcely be better designed to give the final push to voters who are minded – after so many disappointments since 2024 – to abandon Labour for a progressive alternative”

Andy Burnham promised to cap political donations. Now he’s in Downing Street, he’s backtracked. Politics should work for ordinary people, not billionaires and corporate lobbyists. Read Rachel Millward’s full article below 👇

It hasn’t taken the Chancellor long to sound the retreat on the hope the country needs. We are gripped by a cost of living crisis and need action now. Lower bills, wealth taxes and an end to the great water rip off. Thames Water into public ownership now. No more excuses

Migrants and refugees should be welcomed and treated with dignity and respect, not met with balaclavas.

Zack Polanski’s HUGE Gamble: Taking On Labour In Starmer’s Seat

Water should belong to us all. Only the Green Party has committed to taking it back. The criminal pollution must stop.

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · last mo.

Talking about public control is just tinkering and on Thames Water he’s even tinkering with the tinkering by backtracking. If he wants hope: tax the wealthy, take water back under public ownership, bring in rent controls & no to new North Sea drilling. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ongoing scandal of effectively unregulated water companies. Only the Green Party is committed to fixing this.

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last mo.

Officially, the water industry in England is regulated. Practically, it's unregulated. There's no difference between what it does under the eye of the Environment Agency and what it would do if the EA did not exist. The EA is completely useless, by design. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Funny, isn't it. I can't see this policy announcement at the top of the BBC news homepage. Whereas the big Reform Ltd announcement on Monday was all over their news...

The Climate Emergency Declaration was overturned in Staffordshire last year.

The Green Party of England & Wales@greenparty.org.uk · 2mo ago

Reform’s leaders peddle rhetoric around climate change denial. Their councils act on it. Last month, Reform-run Suffolk County Council scrapped its climate emergency declaration. Now, as a wildfire tears through the county, we are seeing exactly why climate action should not be abandoned.

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn. They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future. Always follow the money.

Losing access to our drinking water is a huge risk. Over half of the country is in drought, yet we're losing 3bn litres of water daily through leaky pipes - which water companies won't fix because it's not profitable. Public ownership NOW to protect the public vist.ly/5duz4

Zack Polanski ‘absolutely right’ about privatisation threatening water security, water campaigner says

'Leaky pipes and a lack of reservoirs are inevitable outcomes of privatisation.'

The science is crystal clear - there can be no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. Andy Burnham must stop Rosebank, stop Jackdaw and make polluters pay for the destruction they are causing.

Everywhere I look today I keep seeing: 1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities 2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar 3) record oil & gas profits When will we see that these three things are connected? www.wsj.com/business/ene...

Big Oil Is Reaping Rewards From the Chaos in Energy Markets

So much for devolution Prime Minister Andy Burnham. This centralised power grab is the exact opposite. 362 square miles of planning authority ripped away from local councils and local people. It's easy to talk a good talk but if you're more than just hot air, you'll reverse this.

Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire Green Party@cambsgreenparty.bsky.social · 3mo ago

We are grateful to @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social for opposing the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation. Unfortunately, the vote favored the DevCo, which has now been approved, and will strip residents and councillors of their democratic rights and hand control to an unelected corporation.

Ditto Staffordshire where Reform actually claim they're lowering council tax in parallel with doing the opposite

Bradford District Green Party@bradfordgreens.bsky.social · 3mo ago

⬇️ Reform before getting elected: "We'll cut your taxes!" ⬆️ Reform now they run the Council: "We'll put your taxes up!" ➡️ Reform cannot be trusted.
