Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Arguably the most important 100 minute briefing our MPs will have ever attended👇 Hundreds of Parliamentarians expected. Is your MP coming? Check with your postcode: www.nebriefing.org We can rise to the challenge, but need the courage to face it. #NEB2025 #TimeToStepUp @nebriefing.bsky.social

The truth is, the COP process has been broken for years They can still barely bring themselves to utter the words fossil fuels, despite the fact that this year, they will be responsible for 38 billion out of 41 Billion tonnes of CO2 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Planning Bill is back in Parliament today.‼️ From the start, it’s been controversial: risking damage to precious wildlife and habitats. Peers reduced some of those risks. Now MPs get to vote: keep those protections, or strip them out.

This is a must watch for anyone looking to understand how we got to be so privileged here in England… & why we MUST now do all we can to repair. The cruel impact of plunder, colonisation, slavery and domination by elites continues to this day. When we understand the history… how can we not be moved?

All those people who think they can dodge the effects of the climate crisis because they live in a nice developed country are about to get punched in the face. It’s coming in hard everywhere.

I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all . @nebriefing.bsky.social 🇬🇧

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

An important critique 👇🏼#DeliveryGap

The Media is constantly complaining about Millionaires and Billionaires leaving the UK. Many countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Spain and the USA have an exit tax, this taxes individuals when they leave a country. Tada problem solved.

"One billion people living in coastal areas will be impacted by the end of the century" #ClimateEmergency wmo.int/media/magazi...

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

Burning fossil fuels warms our planet: producing toxic #AirPollution, stoking wildfires & causing drought & heatwaves. @lancetcountdown.bsky.social's new report calls for an end to government financed fossil fuels & adoption of climate solutions to protect lives. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When the Government ape the language and the rhetoric of the right - such as Starmers island of strangers speech - there are real life consequences. Huge solidarity with @mothinali.bsky.social and everyone facing racism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Crikey - and there it is! Well done Zack! 🙌

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Well now, this is extraordinary.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇 1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK 2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves 3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

#HurricaneMelissa has hit. 185MPH winds. Flash floods. Landslides. Key infrastructure ruined. More than 77% of Jamaican without power. The worst storm in Jamaican history intensifed to a category 5 in less than 24 hours. This isn’t a “natural disaster”, this is climate breakdown. #ExtremeWeather

Today's Carbon Budget Delivery Plan talks of insulating 5 million homes this Parliament. Would be a welcome pickup in pace. But £13.2 billion is £2,640 per house. Seems far from enough. Solid wall insulation can easily cost £15-20k. Meanwhile vast amounts going to gas power with carbon capture.

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social‬'s call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/3782/pe...

What if one of the problems with democracy is that we pretend the world is made of only humans?

This month I announced that London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide for the first time ever. When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than predicted.

Seeing the rightwing press publish several articles a day that all have the headline "Zack Polanski is VERY scary though!" is giving me 2017-2019 vibes. And that's GOOD. Coz things are a liiiittle bit different now out there. It'll take more than Newsnight photoshopping Russian hats to fuck this.

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space… …with widely-held public opinions… …tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.
