Brighton & Hove Green Party statement on Reform UK Brighton and Hove's antisemitic Facebook post:

According to legend, the Devil once leapt from barrow to barrow to amuse himself… until Thor (you know, the guy who looks a bit like a Hemsworth brother), watching from the hilltop, grew enraged and hurled a mighty stone to drive him away.

Energy security is national security. Investment in renewable and low-carbon power should be counted as national security spending, say retired military leaders: https://bit.ly/4o7oVRb

All 18 UK species of bat hibernate during the colder months, starting in around October - November. To help them out, you can leave dead wood and thick vegetation, such as Ivy, in your garden to provide vital hidey-holes. 🦇😴 📸Brown Long-eared Bat © Hugh Clark FRPS

Something is happening in Brighton & Hove! 3000 members last week. 3500 members today. And more than 100 people at our monthly meeting last night! There's never been a better time to get involved. join.greenparty.org.uk

Marina needs to be Queens Park’s new councillor. Vote Green!

Just 1.5 minutes, with minimal hesitation and repetition, and no deviation, of the exact opposite of what Reform has to say on people claiming asylum in this country. Good for BBC Westminster Hour to be making the space for these values - which are truly, really British.

The Green Party will always be clear. Refugees are welcome here.

STUDY: “Traffic simulations on large urban networks prove that emission reductions of over 10% can be achieved in the case of a well-chosen speed limit policy.” In other words, smartly lowering speed limits in cities not only saves lives & improves quality of life…it can also reduce emissions.

“…over half a million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions characterized by starvation, destitution and death.”

Like @ledaschiltz.bsky.social, my former colleague on the Green Party staff team, I voted @rachelmillward.bsky.social for deputy leader. Some excellent deputy leadership candidates to choose from, but it was clear that Rachel deserved the number 1 spot on my ballot. If you're a member, vote now!

Our workplace laws don't give sufficient protection to people whose workplace is the outdoors. Here John Harris writes on heat. For many years we've tried to highlight this for #aipollution too, especially for those exposed to traffic, including the many people employed as drivers.

The Finish Air Pollution Projection Society are celebrating 50 years. It's a great honour to be one of their keynote speakers.

🚨BREAKING: Rail fares could go up by 5.5%🚨 But they don't have to. There is a different way. Delivering public ownership of our whole railway - not only train operators - would allow the government to cut fares for you. 🆕READ our new report now: weownit.org.uk/passengersno...

Blooming disappointment spurs councillor to call for more wild verges

Government plans for a PR operation in favour of a growing nuclear arsenal are both morally repugnant & militarily reckless. We need to get more serious about promoting a far-reaching public education campaign setting out the true existential threat they pose. My letter to @theguardian.com

Research is one of the UK"s greatest strengths. Great to see us returning from the isolation of the post-Brexit backwaters but really this should never have happened. We have years of lost science and years of lost recruitment of the best minds to make up. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Some great press coverage of our work on a national biodiversity survey conducted with airborne #eDNA, led by @otournayre.bsky.social @profbatgirl.bsky.social. Thanks for the writeup!

We have plants that are carnivores in Sussex! They supplement poor soil nutrition by digesting insects attracted to the plant by sticky drops which cover the leaves which prevent their escape. Wendy Ball shared this Sundew in flower pic on our Nature Table. buff.ly/rb6WBoy

TalkTV is airing attacks on trans people without broadcasting the views of those who support trans rights. Call on Ofcom to take action:https://goodlaw.social/66f6a3

Never happening….

Labour are right to lower the voting age. But if they're truly serious about creating a fair democracy: Time to abolish the unelected House of Lords. And time for Proportional Representation for all elections.
