"They've been incredibly slow to act." @carladenyer.bsky.social speaks to @turnleftmedia.co.uk about the Government's woeful response to the genocide in Gaza.

"It is once again using starvation as a weapon of war." @elliechowns.bsky.social questions the Government on their response to Israel's decision to block humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.

🏡 The average rent has gone up by 8.7% while we spend £30 billion on housing benefits that goes straight to subsidising landlords! 💰We need rent controls and mass investment in genuinely affordable council housing!

✅ £15 minimum wage for all ✅ Maximum pay ratio of 10:1 for all businesses ✅ Four-Day working week ✅ Ban zero-hour contracts ✅ Repeal all anti-union legislation with a Charter of Workers’ Rights. 🧑‍🔧 The Greens will make sure the economy is working for the many not the few!

Heathrow is typical of the Government. Makes inequality worse, evidence is biased by vested interests and it's terrible for the planet. Rather than a frequent flyer levy, Labour are only interested in representing corporate interests.

Broken promises look the same in Blue, Red or Yellow. We deserve better than this. Join the Greens now and Get Organised.

Just been drafting a #PostGrowth question to seek a debate on in the #HouseofLords. Reflecting on useful @thelancetplanet.bsky.social article, with @kateraworth.bsky.social @jksteinberger.bsky.social @proftimjackson.bsky.social @jasonhickel.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

🥀 If Labour had supported tackling global tax avoidance it would of “increased UK tax receipts by an amount equivalent to 20% of the NHS budget” Disappointing to see Labour standing with wealthy tax dodgers. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/04/k...

✅ Cutting benefits for the disabled ✅ Cutting winter fuel payment for pensioners ✅ Watering down taxes on wealthy Non-Doms ❌ Taxing the wealthy and standing up to vested interests 🥀 It’s clear which side Labour is on and it’s isn’t working people. www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

In the Environmental Audit Committee, I questioned Energy Secretary Ed Miliband on aligning infrastructure decisions with climate targets. We cannot afford to say one thing and do another. The forthcoming advice from the Committee on Climate Change must guide these critical decisions.

No. And anyone who says it can is lying to you. Climate Emergency. There's a clue in the last word. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Keir Starmer's Cabinet members seem quite happy to sacrifice their previous (logical) objections to airport expansion at the altar of 'economic growth'. Has anyone asked who this economic growth is going to benefit while our climate commitments are trashed? 🤔

I spoke to @tristancorkpost.bsky.social at the Bristol Post about finding my feet as an MP, not getting drawn into Westminster's weirdness, fighting for renters' rights - and plenty more! Have a read ⬇️ www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

✅ Watering down taxing wealthy non-doms while cutting billions of benefits for the disabled. 🥀 It’s clear whose side Labour is. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is extraordinary! The Government says it will expel MPs if they vote for the Climate & Nature Bill for the vital action to protect our environment—backed by thousands of scientists, NGOs, councils and businesses. It should be a vote of conscience. What are they thinking??!

He means he's backing developers and Labour donors whilst destroying the planet. Because Labour really couldn't care less about workers rights or the environment. The only thing he backs is himself.

📈 The EU made more electricity from solar than coal last year. 💡 Renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation, and with the UN warning of the dangers of increased fossil fuel use, now is the time to invest properly in renewable energy.

This Government is a danger to us all. "Economic growth is more important to the UK government than net zero, Rachel Reeves has said, dropping a heavy hint that she intends to shrug off climate concerns & reaffirm her backing of a third Heathrow runway." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Rachel Reeves is expected to approve a third runway at Heathrow airport despite the fact it would wreck the country's climate ambitions and is highly unlikely to result in any GDP 'growth'. Brilliant...

We are living through an authoritarian government complicit in a genocide. They know they are on the wrong side of history and this is backlash. We must all continue to speak up. W/ @owenjones.bsky.social youtu.be/2NkivioTuIg?...

Great to see this extensive coverage in The Mirror on my #BiocidesBill - addressing #AMR, #Microbiotoxicity and environmental damage

People struggling to pay energy bills whilst companies make record profits. Sewage in our waters whilst water company CEOs & shareholders make billions. People skipping meals whilst Labour Government refuse wealth taxes or to invest in our country. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

#BlueSky thinking because the war on drugs has failed @greenparty.org.uk has a sensible policy on drugs that would see less people die and drug gangs put out of business

Fund the NHS. Tackle inequality. Wealth tax now.

Private Equity Is Devouring Everything And Is Coming for Your Pets. It is taking over animal clinics. Profiteering, wage cuts, asset stripping, tax dodges are standard practice. UK govt has handed care homes and parts of the NHS to it. Disasterous. jacobin.com/2024/12/vete...

Levelling up? Major barrier in place when all the highest paid jobs are increasingly concentrated in one small area This needs to change before London becomes even more dominant

New study shows majority of people who voted to leave EU would now accept return to free movement in exchange for access to the single market & similar support for a reciprocal youth mobility scheme. So when will the government catch up? @europeanmovement.co.uk www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🗳️ MPs have voted in favour of introducing a fair, proportional voting system for general elections. 🤝 The vote showed there is strong support for fair votes within the Parliamentary Labour Party. 🤔 So why doesn't Keir Starmer want seats to match votes?

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
