The plan that springs eternal.

Learning doesn’t just happen behind a desk. Countries like Finland have shown that outdoor and play-based learning is better for young children. Scottish Greens will: 🟢Raise the school starting age to 7 🟢Introduce a play-based kindergarten stage for 3 to 6 year olds

Fix this first. The problem isn't lack of homes - it's inequality of home ownership.

Tree ferns, some of the oldest plants, embody endurance and primeval times. Their unfurling fronds, known as the koru in Māori culture, symbolise new life and renewal. Long linked with magic and protection, they stand as living bridges between the ancient past and the present.

This matters enormously. As well as ocean-dwelling creatures, all life on land is utterly dependent on a healthy ocean.

So much of this could have been prevented if the men in the Epstein files had been prosecuted instead of protected.

Trump is warning of widespread war crimes against Iran - and even appears to be threatening the use of what could be nuclear weapons. An incredibly dangerous moment for the whole world. Our government must immediately withdraw all access to UK bases for any US attacks on Iran.

Please mow less this Spring to help the bees! 🐝 Lawn weeds (esp dandelions) are one of the few food sources bees can rely on in early spring to stay alive. A struggle to find enough nectar now, could have devastating effects on flowers, fruit & veg that rely heavily on pollination.

Be more devoted than you ever have to your creativity, and definitely don't outsource it.

If things are unlikely to go back to where they were and the current direction is disastrous then it is more important than ever to know where we want to go. Radical imagination time. And definitely time to hone your art, your craft, your imagination, and your humanity.

Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

This solution is seldom talked about in politics, even by the Green Party - unless I've missed it @elliechowns.bsky.social

Pure young stars 👇

Drilling for more oil & gas in the North Sea won't lower bills, it won't make us more energy independent and it won't insulate us from price shocks. A Labour backslide on this would be a huge betrayal. Double down on renewables. Insulate every home. Lower bills, permanently.

And louder for those at the back: NO.

‘Swifts spark joy!’ Why these beautiful birds need our help – and 10 ways to give it

Forgive me while I make ONE political post here I have officially joined The Green Party of England & Wales as a member We're living in a very scary world right now & if my £5 a month can help make a difference, that's not a lot to ask I think Happy to talk more in DM's, but back to gaming stuff!

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

If a drink was (a) too expensive (b) running out and (c) poisoning you, buying a more straws to drink it through would hardly be a good idea... It's time to get off oil and gas, boost renewables and help people insulate their homes and use public transport to cut energy waste

We don't have a housing shortage crisis - we have a housing inequality shortage.

This is very sensible and the UK should be recommending this now to ease the shock. But the government won't.

Early food for early bees

Ofsted: source of so much stress for teachers, pupils, and parents. We need ways of assessing learning that encourage students, and support learning approaches that reflect the times we live in.

is a boon & also insects & being less tidy helps, allowing some Bramble 2 ramble, this being such a favoured place in which to nest. Letting seed heads remain through winter & lawns grow with no chemicals. Let your garden become a haven while reducing risk of disease. Thank you from the birds🙏

Great weekend campaigning with Shetland Greens for the Hollywood elections on the 7th of May. We are gaining one new member every single day at the moment. Many voters are switching to the Greens and it’s clear that we’re building a strong movement for the future in Shetland.

The bias means we have to do it ourselves and the evidence is people vote for the party their neighbours vote for. So even if like me you can't get formally involved in the party's work, make a point of telling people you support the Green Party. Make voting Green normal as well as hope. 💚
