Today is #ShowYourStripesDay (Saturday 20th June 2026). Created in 2018 by Professor Ed Hawkins, Blue years were cooler than the 1961-2010 avg. Red years were hotter. 2025: a dark red stripe, Earth's 3rd warmest year. Tewkesbury knows that more warming means more flooding. Gloucester's stripes 👇

I saw the People's Emergency Briefing at The Roses, hosted by Green councillor Cate Cody. A shocking film, but the final minutes show there is a way out. The petition for a national briefing passed 10k; the govt didn't commit. Its now on 25k. Can you help it reach 100k for a debate! Please share!

Post 1 of 4 ⚠️ A warning. The Severn Ham just got SSSI status. One of the last ancient hay meadows in the UK - 70.8 hectares between the Severn and the Avon. Rare plants. Floods every winter. The uncomfortable truth: habitats like this need to cover 44% of Earth to keep civilisation alive.

🎬 Haven't seen People's Emergency Briefing yet? FREE screenings are popping up all over the UK - new venues are being added all the time. Its hard hitting, but there is some real hope at the end and a way out of the climate crisis if we act now. Check the interactive map to find one near you 👇

📉 Peak Reform: August 2025. 35% in the polls. Now? 25% and falling. 🔻 This Wikipedia polling chart says it all 📊 — the trend line is unmistakable. Scandals 💥, council chaos 🏛️, Trump-fawning 🍊, and a surging Green Party 🌿 have all taken their toll. Peak Reform is behind us. 🫧 #ReformUK #UKPolitics

Things that should disqualify me from the Green Party: meat eater, petrol car, never composted, heating on full blast, Ryanair regular, leather boots 🥩✈️🔥 And yet... card-carrying member. They want to change the system, not audit your life choices. They know about me. They're dealing with it. 😂

@severntrentwater.bsky.social On 22 January you met with @tewkesburybc.gov.uk to discuss sewage in the borough’s rivers. Weeks later, there’s no transcript or action list from the meeting. Why not? Transparency matters. The public deserves to know what was agreed. #SevernTrent #Sewage #Transparency

Reform is using a third-party to turn crypto into cash and hide donors - their processor is in Poland - the Electoral Commission has no idea where the money's coming from. TGP accepts donations the boring, honest, democratic way: actual pounds from actual people. 💚 greenparty.org.uk
