Happy Easter from Penrith and Eden Green Party...

Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

"It's a question of where’s that money's going? And you've handed over our private patient data to Palantir, a company with far-right connections. If that money was instead going into the front line, we might all have a better chance of having a better NHS" Caroline Lucas on the NHS on #BBCQT

"Community centres like this, right across the country, who are supporting people in need, need a government who will step up for them." Zack Polanski speaking on the cost of living crisis at the Elizabeth House Community Centre.

Please consider letting a little patch of garden grow wild, as this allows wildflowers to grow. Some wild plants - like dead nettle, nettles and cuckoo flower - are vital food plants for moth and butterfly caterpillars. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/wil... #wildlifegarden

Light's on at Green Partry meeting

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war. Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.

The Gaza Tribunal paints a bleak picture of UK governments' failure to prevent genocide and complicity in atrocities against Palestinians. We support demands for transparency, boycotts and sanctions, and an end to all arms sales and intelligence sharing. End the genocide.

Light's on at last night's Green Party meeting..

Basic fails from Jeremy Hunt and Richard Tice

We should really really copy Paris.

Horrendous that the government did not even respond to request for comment from The Times on GCSE Natural History course www.thetimes.com/uk/education...

Just needed to double check - and yes, Kemi Badenoch really did just say that we don’t need evidence - that anecdotes and personal feelings will do just fine instead. Scary times #bbclaurak

Please contact your MP to urge them to support the #CANBill tomorrow. Even at this late hour - there’s still time to make a difference 🐝🦋🐟

About that claim that #Bristol is selling 1200 council homes...

Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris #climate agreement is an act of environmental vandalism & shows what the fossil fuel industry can buy with their $75m donation to his campaign. But it’s important to remember leaders across US are already taking stronger climate action & the economic case is clear

Leader of Bristol City Council - Tony Dyer - on the chronic underfunding of local councils by central government, here in Bristol and all over the UK. It effects us all.

Yes, we get the politics the few pay for. #democracy - it would be a good idea democracyforsale.substack.com/p/its-not-ju...

Suspect both Labour & Conservative Party might be thinking they could pay for not backing @greenparty.org.uk amendment that I tabled in the #HouseofLords to the Elections Bill (now Act), setting a £500 maximum donation. #democracy - it would be a good idea www.nataliebennett.org/latest/elect...

The government's Plan A is "rely on growth to tackle our many problems". What is Plan B? Reminder, you can't have infinite growth on a finite planet, and now when there is growth, the profits go to the few, not the many www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

I’m really concerned about the impact of the rise in employers’ NICs on GP surgeries – I’ve heard from several who say it will be devastating for patient care. Along with other @greenparty.org.uk MPs I’ve written to the Chancellor urging her to rethink the rise.

If you discover a hibernating bumblebee while digging in your garden or allotment this winter, try to avoid disturbing her, and loosely re-cover her so she can hit the snooze button until spring. More advice from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social at www.bumblebeeconservation.org #gardening #SaveTheBees 🐝

#HouseofLords - I push the government on the need for skills to retrofit our homes to be ready for the 21st-century - so crucial for the #CostofLivingCrisis, health and the #ClimateEmergency

🛍️ This Small Business Saturday we call on the new Labour government to back small businesses with a package to help firms thrive in their green transition.

A list of novels about soil - what a good idea theconversation.com/five-specula...

Yes to #FairTrade! It's worth looking out for the logo in various supermarkets, eg The Coop, M&S and Sainsbury's. Encourage them!

Sunday was #WorldAIDSDay. The UK aims to end new HIV cases by 2030. The @greenparty.org.uk MPs 100% support this, and will advocate for a joined-up approach, including: 👉Expand HIV testing 👉Increase PrEP access including online 👉Combat stigma Together the UK can achieve this goal #ZeroHIV

This morning I'm off to visit a lovely project in Brighton, very close to the council estate I grew up on. Looking forward to meeting organisers and users. moulsecoombforestgarden.org

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Today, and every day, we recognise the important role people with disabilities play in creating a more inclusive and sustainable world for all.

I’ve worked alongside the amazing Mary Colwell for years on the Natural History GCSE & it was *not* a Tory initiative. It was agreed due to huge pressure campaigners brought to it. It’s a pity we’ve got to do it all over again with Labour - but we will! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On this choked planet, the resistance of #FossilFools to #PlasticTreaty has to be stood up to. They are rogue nations threatening global #PublicHealth and environments #PlasticWaste #PlasticPollution #OneHealth www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Balloon and lantern releases create litter and #plasticpollution in landscapes and seas that can harm the environment, wildlife and livestock. Celebrate special occasions and loved ones by planting trees, wildflowers, or bee and butterfly gardens instead! Pic via Keep Britain Tidy

Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can eat over 100 invertebrates every night. #wildlife #gardening #nature
