An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

This morning Green MPs attended a critical briefing on the climate and nature crisis. Climate breakdown threatens our food supply, health and national security but an alternative future is still possible.

“Dear Diary, People are still being mean about me being a racist at school. I tried saying I was only racist in a nice way, but that didn’t work so I pretended that the 23 witnesses were all making it up. Hopefully that will do the trick…”

Black people, Muslims, LGBTQ+, disabled, elderly, immigrants, refugees and single parents are not the problem.

1) Fuck israel! While some pretend that Israel's conduct can singularly be pinned on Netanyahu, an Israeli lawmaker just called for merciless bombing of Gaza. "We have no hostages [left]... We no longer have to be precise. We can attack without mercy. Merciless! MERCILESS!"

Obviously this piece is lacking in quite a lot of information, however, statistically if people are being stuck in lorries to leave the UK they aren't being "smuggled" they are being trafficked, a whole other thing. That seems like a pretty crucial thing to clarify. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With one in three children in this country growing up in poverty (read that again!), it's worth bearing in mind what we #CouldHaveHad this Christmas. Click the hashtag for more...

The richest 150 people in the UK get £120,000,000 richer every single day, and that's not share value. That's profit stolen from you through the Banks, Energy Companies, and Supermarkets they own. But the problem is someone getting £10 on Universal Credit?

The country wants a wealth tax on assets. They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked. They've got no actual argument. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult." Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

Your Food is too expensive. Your Energy is too expensive. Housing is too expensive. Mortgages are too expensive. Healthcare is too expensive. The people to blame? The billionaires who own it all.

Once an ignorant, money-driven, capitalist - always an ignorant, money-driven capitalist This buffoon has no idea of the climate storm that is coming And if he thinks Canada will dodge it he is very much mistaken www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Racist Nigel Farage thinks accusations of Racism are due to dislike of his Racist policies. This is partly true, Racist. It's also because you are Racist and always have been. Racist.

"I’ve struggled, I still do, but getting help was the best thing I ever did. Please know there is hope and a brighter future." On the anniversary of Gary Speed's death David Owens on 'how sadness and grief can bring people together in the strangest of circumstances'

That a Reform politician (Farage’s mate Gill) was in the pay of Russia is no surprise. What is a surprise is that he betrayed our country so cheaply, for £40k.

He'll face far more aggressive and hectoring interviews than this, but @zackpolanski.bsky.social gave a confident performance under quite forensic questioning from Evan Davis. Good job. #bbcpm @greenparty.org.uk #Polanski

Ed Davey on #BBCBreakfast talking plain sense once again, mainly about the damage Brexit has done and continues to do, and what Labour 'should' have done in the budget. Easily the best party leader in Westminster right now.

Rachel Reeves on #C4News saying Labour are now lifting 450,000 children out of poverty by removing the two child benefit cap So an admission that Labour kept 450,000 children in poverty for the past year because they didn't care enough about child poverty to lift them out of it last year

Starmer doesn't care about homelessness; he's not homeless. Starmer doesn't care about food banks; he doesn't use them. Starmer doesn't care about the NHS; he'll go private. Starmer doesn't care about you; you're not his bank balance.

Imagine being such a committed asshole that you still can't apologise to the classmates you bullied with racist taunts 50 years ago. #ReformYourself

Remember, next time you sing the anthem, or attend a jubilee party, or visit a food bank for that matter: all this is funded by austerity...

Dr Assal Rad— "Today, the world’s leading human rights org said the genocide is not over. "Naturally, Western media has completely ignored it, because why would this be newsworthy?"

Interesting interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Radio4 PM with #EvanDavis providing a refreshing humanitarian and environmental angle to #Politics atm @greenparty.org.uk

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

I think most people living in the UK would be astonished to know that this country is now more wealthy than Germany, and ranked 4th in the world The millions struggling to eat and heat will be rightly wondering, where the f*ck it is? www.forbes.com/sites/lewisn...

Israel's genocide in Gaza continues as Palestinians face 'slow death', Amnesty International says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israels-genocide-gaza-continues-palestinians-face-slow-death-amnesty-international-says

As Xmas approaches, 4.3 children in the UK - almost 1 in 3 - live in poverty In the world's 4th richest nation, this is an obscenity, and politicians who are allowing this to continue should hang their heads in shame Always remember, maintaining poverty is a political choice

Israel still won’t let international journalists into Gaza.

YouGov: Just 12% of Brits would consider voting for Your Party, down from 18% in July. Compares to 25-29% of Brits being willing to consider each of the 5 main national parties. Only 4% of those who would consider voting for Your Party do so exclusively, with 85% also being open to voting Green.

Pleased to report that, after we intimated we would sue it, Ofcom has changed course and will look again at whether TalkTV is complying with the Broadcasting Code. We are also now starting to look with our lawyers at the BBC's whitewashing of trans existence. goodlaw.social/vfq2

If you voted for this vile person, shame on you. #FreePalestine #ArrestNetanyahu I won't hold my breath for the UK #MSM to offer reasons why Netanyahu is a wanted man and international pariah

The United Nations says Israel’s war on Gaza has created a “human-made abyss” that will cost more than $70 billion in reconstruction over several decades.
