Together with cross-party Parliamentarians I have written to the Home Secretary calling on her to accept today's ruling on Palestine Action. Instead of criminalising those protesting genocide, the govt must examine its own complicity and work to support justice for Palestinians.

Most of the roses for sale in the US are raised in hideous labor and environmental conditions in Colombia and Ecuador before they're loaded onto 747s to fly here. I know because I visited one of the rose plantations/sweatshops for my book Orwell's Roses. Give your love a book or something.

Kitchen sponges like these release microplastics that end up in the sea – harming marine environments and the animals that live there. And they can't be recycled, so remain in landfill for hundreds of years. For eco-friendly sponges see: littlegreenspace.org.uk/reviews/seep...

We're deeply disappointed that Unilever has abanonded it's commitment to source only cage-free eggs worldwide. The decision risks leaving hens confined in cages and unable to express natural behaviours. We're calling on Unilever to reinstate its commitment to #EndTheCageAge.

Just because we have utter contempt for Nigel Farage and Matt Goodwin, does not mean we should have contempt for people who might consider voting for them says @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏

When did 'X needs to do Y' start meaning 'I want X to do Y'?

High Court: proscription of #PalestineAction was unlawful. Greens voted against proscription, so we welcome this. Govt must now immediately end its authoritarian attacks on peaceful protest, and fully address its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

#GoodNews Sanity prevailing in the High Court today. May this be followed by a start to a thorough process of Israel being held properly accountable for its appalling war crimes.

Absolutely brilliant take-down by @fionaharvey.bsky.social of ludicrous myths & misinformation spouting from Tony Blair’s think tank. Why on earth does he think it’s sensible to make our energy more costly & less secure?

Sad to see the comments are full of cynicism and despair. This is why we need the @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ellie Chowns - always worth listening to.

Often read online that: "the Broligarchy is a big club & we ain't in it!" but although this "club" has spread its tentacles wide, it's big only in power, & we, the rest of society win hand over fist in numbers! This "club" needs to be confronted by all, like the school bully & brought to its knees!

The Green Party takes a holistic view of health care that aims to make people healthier not just with a properly funded, public NHS, but also with better housing, better food, better air and water quality, tackling poverty and everything else we already know affects health..

I have once again published my quarterly log of lobbying and policy meetings. Every MP should do the same because, as current events show, trust in politics matters. Who is your MP meeting with? In whose interest are they *actually* working? You should know. www.sianberry.org.uk/official-mee...

Yes, the way out is #PostGrowth. There are enough resources on this planet for everyone to have a decent life, to look after climate and nature, if we share them out fairly #GreenThinking #ChangeEverything www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'A hung parliament with a large Green contingent could force a change in the voting system and offer a real chance of ending our failed economic model. In the wreckage that McSweeney has left us, it is our best hope.' #VoteGreen @greenparty.org.uk www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's not really about Starmer or McSweeney, it's about Labour having so lost its way that appointing an acolyte of the oligarchy like Mandelson ever seemed a good idea. The billionaire class is the enemy of humanity and the planet, and its hangers-on have no place in any progressive movement.

I'd rather call it #PostGrowth, but whatever you call it, the public has no problem understanding that the economy should work for people and planet, rather than us all working ourselves and trashing the environment for "the economy" www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

New poll finds Labour’s anti-nature rhetoric is costing voter trust. After Keir Starmer called environmental protections misguided, 19% of 2024 Labour voters are less likely to vote Labour again. Attacking wildlife protections is not a winning strategy. www.wildlifetrusts.org/news/anti-na...

I still do not have a clue who will win the Gorton and Denton by-election but the Greens say that in six hours today they leafleted all 40,000-plus households, done by 400 volunteers, which does show Lib Dem-style levels of dedication to campaigning (and to the printing trade).
