Yes, Palestine was on the ballot. But so was more affordable housing, safer, cleaner streets and developing an economy that builds wealth and health in our communities. Our plan for Lewisham is underpinned by justice. Read it👇 lewisham.greenparty.org.uk/manifesto

Today my heart is with our trans community, treated so abysmally in this country. Draft guidance means trans people are barred from services they could previously access & inclusive service providers will be at legal risk. Green Party statement: greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

In many ways, this whole saga speaks to the creeping Americanisation of British politics. This country does not have US-style separation of powers. It is not the role of the Supreme Court - let alone quangos like the EHRC - to make sweeping policy changes on the basis of definitional quibbling.

Pleased to share that Annabelle Roberts and myself have been elected as councillors for Forest Hill - among 40 Green councillors elected in Lewisham. The people of this borough have put their trust in us to deliver change; we won’t let you down!

Nominations have closed and I am officially on the ballot as one of the Green Party's candidates for Forest Hill. Very excited to turn Lewisham green next month - and deliver affordable homes, cleaner air, and a borough we can be proud to pass on to the next generation!

From 18 seats to a projected 548 seats in London's local elections. Never let anyone tell you that change will never come. A greener, fairer city is a choice we can make together. 💚 @londongreenparty.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/202...

Amazing to be out supporting @zackpolanski.bsky.social in South London on Saturday! So much support on the streets, we're bringing hope back, let's turn London Green 💚

Very cool to see my local on TimeOut’s list of the world’s 100 best cinemas!

Some news: I’m standing as one of the Green Party’s candidates for Forest Hill in the local elections this May! I’ve lived in this area for over a decade; and I’m so proud to be standing alongside a fantastic suite of candidates who are ready to fight for our community!

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

When there are no laws meaningfully regulating military AI use, the Pentagon’s promise to use AI “lawfully” mean almost nothing. The authoritarian AI crisis has arrived www.platformer.news/anthropic-pe...

also noise pollution in the U.S. is almost entirely from cars and it’s literally giving people heart attacks I wrote an article about it because it’s so absurd

If only there was a BAFTA-nominated film that explained his condition

It should be illegal for a tv show, movie, or commercial to use an alarm tone that is common for regular people in the real world to use. I don’t want to be watching something then be reminded that I have to get up for work tomorrow.

Life must be so easy if you just have absolutely no ethics, can you imagine

Fans mourning Bud Cort might be interested to know there is a new book, "Held Over: Harold and Maude at The Westgate Theater,” about the film’s 115-week run at the Minneapolis-area cinema in 1972-74. Gift Link: www.startribune.com/john-gaspard...

One reason I take so many sea cucumber photos is they don't run away from me, but there's something enticing about a creature that resembles an unfortunate sausage and feeds with tentacles that look like the diagram of a complex nervous system. 🦑 #oceans #Scuba #diving #pacificnorthwest #echinoderm

Thank you Emerald Fennell for giving us a week where every film critic is doing their own version of the book club scene from Peep Show

If you discount obviously fake elections (so no Putin) and parliamentary systems (no Modi), it turns out there's a bunch of people around the 250M mark: Biden: 251M Prabowo Subianto: 260M Trump: 264M Lula: 397M, but only because of 2-round elections; 255M if you just count the run-offs

Fun fact: this guy is responsible for possibly the most avoidable electoral fumble of all time. In 1997, his party won twice as many seats as anyone else and could easily have formed a governing coalition - but Jagland had promised to resign if they got any less than 36.9% of the vote.

Holy shit -- Joe Dante is digitizing a rough cut of GREMLINS from VHS Alleged to be two and a half hours long (theatrical cut is 106 minutes)

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

Excited for Bovino and his new office.

One problem with advocating for censoring unwanted political content on TikTok is that you might get your way

Scrap the online safety act and ban this instead.

Oscars hot take: people would be considerably less annoyed about F1 getting a Best Picture nomination if they’d bothered to give it a real title

We need a name for this thing UK politicians do where they use cadence and delivery to imply rhetorical ingenuity that isn’t actually there. “High” and “soft” are not antonyms!

do you think you could score 30 points in an nba or wnba game if you were allowed to see a map of the basketball court beforehand

Wiki authors love to tell you who the tritagonist of things is.

Very funny to think about how Sentimental Value plays out from Netflix’s perspective. You take a huge risk on a legendary director’s final passion project and then find out he’s replaced an Emma Stone-level star with a moderately successful Norwegian stage actress.
