we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

On Sunday 21st September, Oxford Street belonged to people, not traffic. For one extraordinary day, the street came alive with dancing, dining and community. This Is Oxford Street proved why pedestrianisation should be the future of the nation’s most iconic high street ⬇️

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday. Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

A question for Times columnist Sebastian Payne: What is this cheaper source of "energy" that you speak of? The world's energy experts would like to know…

It’s just possible that the Labour voices who urged Khan to ditch Ulez expansion after the Uxbridge by-election were not, after all, strategic geniuses.

I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide. I decided this was unacceptable. Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

While Trump and Farage drag our politics down - Labour too often ends up following. We can choose a different path. One of lower bills, warmer homes, and a liveable future. @greenparty.org.uk are urgently needed. 👉 join.greenparty.org.uk

speaking personally, i'd immediately hire the most corrupt mayor's rat czar.

This Labour Government once again choosing to do the work of their vested interests - and not working for people or the planet. My article today in @the-independent.com on Gatwick Expansion. 👇🏼 www.independent.co.uk/voices/gatwi...

"Zack Polanski described a second Gatwick runway as a “disaster”. “Ignores basic climate science and risks undermining efforts to tackle the climate crisis. “Labour keeps wheeling out the same nonsense about growth, but at what cost?” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

To keep global warming to 1.5C and avoid oversupply of oil and gas, the International Energy Agency says some high-cost production will need to be closed down

already a member but if there's an antidote to our toxic political environment, it's the greens.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

LETS GO!!!! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Nadine Dorries joining Reform isn’t a shock. It’s logical for a politics of cruelty, corruption, and the collapse of neoliberalism. The rise of Reform is the fault of a failing Labour Government & their vapid politics. We're growing the alternative. Join.greenparty.org.uk

“Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn. Campaigners call for Paris-style parking charges amid fears big vehicles are taking up excessive public space.” Cities need smart, specific strategies to manage vehicle size. It’s about space & safety.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

A new study found that the United States was responsible for 55 percent of the pollution emitted by private jets globally.

It is remarkable that the west is committing to spending 5% of GDP on defence, and almost no one has made the case that the most pressing threat to our security this century is climate change and we should be spending more on tackling that.

another week, another news story about an economic development that "puts pressure" on rachel reeves. at this point she'll just be a diamond at the end of her tenure.

Today’s London Standard has a big report on how the capital “isn’t working”. It blames immigrants, especially Muslims, and the lack of “White British”. It asks “if there’s a minimum number of natives” at which London must give it up its status as the UK capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lond...

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

We can allow history to repeat itself, and powerful interests to shape our streets in one way. Or we can remember that cities are places where walking, cycling and public transport should be prioritised. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today, the Government launches plans to fast-track driverless vehicle trials in the UK. One of the companies involved says London presents a big challenge: “It has seven times more jaywalkers than San Francisco.” Except… it doesn't. 🧵

fuck me, i don't think we'll be able to pry reform's boot out of the bbc's mouth.

👏👏👏 kudos to tony juniper. you only see nature as a blocker if you think humans are the be-all and end-all. the truth is we share this country and planet with living things that have just as much value as us. we have a responsibility to protect them. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

god forbid local politicians just put in adequate safe cycle infrastructure rather than being snowflakes to criticism.

Breaking News: NPR said it was suing President Trump over his executive order that aimed to end its federal funding, saying it violated the First Amendment.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.
