Young people have most to gain from decarbonising. No wonder they vote Green.

Fossil fuel adverts should be regulated like tobacco and alcohol.

Young people have most to lose from the damage done by fossil fuels, which is mostly in the future. That's one reason why the future of this country is backing Zack Polanski's Greens 💚📈

Trump is destroying the evidence of fossil fuel harm. Vote Green and tax fossil fuels.

We have been warned - often - that if the AMOC weakens, it could get very cold here in the UK. Vote Green to tax all fossil fuels.

Some frequent flyer high emitters pathetically justify their lifestyle by recycling and "Changing policies is more important than changing values" says commentary on this. We need to change both. Vote Green for taxes on fossil fuels rather than greenwashing and hand wringing.

While Westminster obsesses over by-elections and leadership contests, an official report warns that within years our food and water systems could fail. I’ve forced Govt to acknowledge a suppressed report on ecosystem collapse. But Ministers still aren’t facing the scale of the crisis.

This is in line with Green Party policy. The key is to tackle sustainability and inequality together. Once again, saving the planet is a political struggle.

Well done @elliechowns.bsky.social . We must not look away.

This ought to be a headline story. Further increases are "baked in" by greenhouse gases....and still governments won't tax fossil fuels....

Well said Emily Thornberry.

The point of these attacks is twofold: 1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true. 2. Grind people down until they lose hope. We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change. There is absolutely no way they win this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

There's so many better ways to keep down food prices. When our rivers are polluted with nutrients, and greenhouse gases are our greatest challenge, this is a bad idea. If food prices do rise, farmers will NOT be leaving ground fallow.

“Everything I do has climate & climate justice at its centre…one of our core principles that runs through our manifesto, from trying to buy back council homes & make housing safer & more resilient, to rewilding in parks, from public health to transport.” Fab from the amazing @zoegarbett.bsky.social

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Peak oligarchy: Nick Robinson interviews Tony Blair about how we solve the problems caused by the oligarchs Tony Blair tells us we should be nice to Trump, abandon net zero, and embrace AI Larry Ellison really got his money's worth

It's really surprising how bad at policy-making Labour can be Why would you make crisps and biscuits cheaper for everybody including well-off people? When you could just improve the welfare support for those on low incomes?

- Subsidising consumption in the face of a supply shock - reducing incentives to drive less/switch to EVs - using up limited fiscal space to help better-off drivers rather than the most vulnerable. Hard to think of a worse policy right now.

For clarity, today was the day the UK was going to ban imports of jet fuel and diesel made from Russian oil regardless of where it is refined. Last night, Starmer's government decided not to ban these imports, and instead to continue funding Putin's war machine. The EU banned them in January.

Not just backing down on sanctions but colluding with those who always busted the sanctions Looks like we're seeing the people of Ukraine sacrificed to save Keir Starmer's skin www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Thank goodness Starmer is finally supporting all those Range Rover drivers by keeping their costs low www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If we cared about poorer people we'd give them money to meet their needs, not subsidise one very specific, very harmful, activity

So much about this has me screaming into my motonormativity cushion. Why further subsidise all the wealthy people who drive? Why NOT subsidise the poorer people who don't drive?

I'm a key worker. I want better wages, not subsided fuel (which I can't even afford to drive anyway).

I am absolutely furious about this. How f'ing dare Labour pour fuel on the climate crisis and hand out more money to wealthier people? Keeping petrol prices artificially low is climate injustice writ large. Additional scorn for @libdems.org.uk who campaigned for this.

This will do nothing to help the 20% of the population that don't have access to a car. There's so many better ways of stimulating the economy and helping less well off - such as lifting tax thresholds on low paid workers. This government raises people taxes and lowers carbon taxes. Wrong.

‘Prince William will sell a fifth of Duchy of Cornwall’ to build homes & help nature Good to see Dartmoor is one of the key areas for retention & prioritising for nature - the Duchy have a really crucial opportunity to restore peat bogs & temperate rainforest www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-fam...

Perhaps we, the Greens,would hold back from a full blown national campaign to get our candidate elected IF Burnham reaffirms his commitment to genuine PR before the next GE.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

It’s the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, and I don’t know a single Green who hasn’t been influenced by his commitment to the natural world. A powerful advocate for urgent climate action, and a true legend. 💚

On the new SubwayTakes, Kareem Rahma and leader of the UK Green Party, Zack Polanski, discuss making dark money in politics more visible by giving a nod to one of George Carlin's best takes. If only we could make this a reality! #SheShed

Our addiction to flying - which increases year on year - is not compatible with a liveable planet. Banning advertising for highly polluting industries like flying would go a long way to help us shift our culture and find a new normal.

Several (all left wing, from center to further left) German political parties have just announced they're leaving X - some government agencies had left already. A really different attitude vs what we've seen in the UK so far - www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

It's now incomprehensible that tobacco advertisement was allowed. Yet greenhouse gas emissions could kill more people than tobacco.

Reform took a £5m donation and they're trying to distract you. Farage is just another establishment stooge. Like in Gorton & Denton - the only way to stop Reform on Thursday - Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk

NEW: The Green Party of England and Wales are polling at 21% 📈 just FOUR points behind Reform UK, who have faced an overall decline in the polls in recent months. 📉 Happy Friday 💚🥳

Rising fuel costs are changing travel habits⛽️ New YouGov research for Cycling UK shows 28% of drivers are walking/cycling more, with 15% considering it. cyclinguk.org/news/more-people-turn-walking-and-cycling-fuel-costs-rise

Congratulations to Sarah Finch. The Finch Case legal victory deserves the highest honour. We must not allow any future changes to the rules for Environmental Impact Assessments to take away the principle that the impact of extracting fossil fuels includes the climate change consequences of burning.

Greens pledge to topple Labour and stop Reform in Exeter #VoteGreen 💚 exeter.greenparty.org.uk/news/2026/04...

I agree with Hannah Spencer MP. The gambling industry preys on vulnerable people and animal welfare and the environment also suffer. The racing industry generates huge levels of greenhouse gas emissions but somehow is thought sacrosanct.

Candidates for the council with vested interests - but in a good way
