🌍🐧🦭 Emperor penguins and Antarctic fur seals have been declared Endangered on the IUCN Red List. 🧊 Penguin numbers projected to halve by 2080s as sea ice breaks up early. 🦐 Fur seal population has already more than halved since 1999 as warming seas push krill out of reach. Decarbonise. Now. 🌡️

🇬🇧 Today in Parliament, MPs joined the Wildlife Trusts, RSPB 🐦, Woodland Trust 🌳 and Friends of the Earth to demand urgent action on nature recovery. Wildlife Trusts CEO Craig Bennett: Ministers must "act to save nature before it is too late." 💚 #NatureRecovery #Wildlife #GreenNews

Britain hit a record 11 TWh of wind & solar power in March 2026 — saving the UK nearly £1bn in gas imports in a single month. The green transition as economic shield 💨☀️ #GreenRoundup #CleanEnergy

📉 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

🌧️💧 On Monday, Tewks Town councillors & staff volunteered with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust to build a Rain Garden at Gloucester Road car park - capturing rainwater 🌱, reducing flood risk 🚨, and giving local wildlife a helping hand 🐝🦋. #Tewkesbury #RainGarden #ClimateAction #WaterManagement

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

🌿 TGP were in Newtown yesterday for a litter pick! 🗑️ 2 x general waste bags ♻️ 1 x recycling bag 💚 Lots of warm words from residents Volunteer Rachael said: "A most satisfying and enjoyable afternoon!" 😊 Small actions, big impact. Join us next time? Watch this space! 👀 #Tewkesbury #GreenParty

🅿️ Tewkesbury Borough Council is reviewing car parking charges and wants your views. Survey open until 6 April, with an interactive map to pin specific locations. Charges are rising for the first time since 2015. Have your say now!

Our Sunday Roundup - positive green news items from local, national and global sources.

Daniel Kebede told a press briefing that the Greens and its leader Zack Polanski “align very closely with the education policies” of the teachers’ union. schoolsweek.co.uk/neu-teachers...

The Government’s analysis says we CAN make room for food, homes, nature restoration & clean energy. So when politicians pretend protecting nature or backing renewables is the problem, they're ignoring their own evidence. The issue is not land – it is political will. 💚 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Today’s heating oil support is welcome. But let’s be clear: this is the cost of staying hooked on fossil fuels. Global energy prices spike & we pay the price. We need a Green plan for warm homes, cheap renewables and real energy security — no more crisis management. 💚 www.gov.uk/government/n...

This budget shifts costs onto residents—parking, enforcement, reduced services—while offering minimal investment in the things that reduce inequality. Social justice means protecting those with least power in the system. This budget doesn’t get close. #GCCBudget2026

Introducing parking charges at rail stations risks pushing people back into cars. If Gloucestershire is serious about climate and congestion, rail users should be supported, not penalised. A fair, sustainable transport system starts with encouraging the right choices. #GCCBudget2026

Replacing big empty buses with The Robin can make sense. But GCC is doing it as a cost-saving, not an upgrade. We’ll push to ensure service levels rise — not fall — for rural communities #GCCbudget2026

Unfortunately @libdemcam.bsky.social didn’t attend the www.nebriefing.org last week despite Tewkesbury being arguably one of the more climate sensitive regions in the UK

I strongly urge all to sign the following www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-.... The following gives the background youtu.be/8sa7uh192r0?...

This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

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...

Excuse me

Over 170,000 children living in temporary accommodation is a national disgrace. Children need safe, warm, stable homes to thrive - when will Labour grasp the nettle on this? We need to unfreeze the local housing allowance and seriously invest in social housing, now.

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨 BREAKING | Greens TIED with Labour ➡️ REF – 32% (-) 🔵 CON – 17% (-) 🟢 GRN – 15% (-) 🔴 LAB – 15% (-2) 🟠 LD – 12% (-) Via @FindoutnowUK, 15 Oct (+/- vs 8 Oct)

The frequency of disasters has quadrupled in the past two decades, yet the healthy ecosystems that naturally help reduce these risks are vanishing. Investing in nature offers a smart, cost-effective way to protect lives and strengthen economies. Learn more: tinyurl.com/4zcbfbxk

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time. Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

Reality: Brexit's a disaster. Labour Apologist: The EU don't want us back. Reality: Here's the EU saying they want us back. Labour Apologist: Brits don't want to rejoin. Reality: Here are polls showing people want to rejoin. Labour Apologist: We must be patient. Reality: We've been waiting 9 years!

We now have 115,000 members (translation: a sh*t load). And we're not stopping there. Thousands of people are joining every week to be part of a different, hopeful politics. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

The Greens have pulled ahead of Labour for the first time. It's on! 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/greens-pul...

Earlier this week, Zack Polanski predicted that the Green Party would 'replace Labour'. He might be on to something...

Robert Jenrick calls Handsworth "a slum". The Prime Minister calls us "an island of strangers". Real leaders know that there's culture in every corner of the UK when you scratch below the surface. Real leaders don't punch down, they lift up.

With 2 weeks to go, we are 1/3rd of the way to reaching our goal of £3000. We need this money to get Tewkesbury Greens elected on 1 May. This County election is no ordinary one - it will decide the new way services are delivered. Let's ensure these are Green www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/tewkesbury...

Tewkesbury Green Party and friends on tour last night (quiz night at Elmstone Hardwicke). We came joint first.
