I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

A former Labour MP has joined the @greenparty.org.uk under @zackpolanski.bsky.social - You love to see it. I know I do. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/im-...

The new leader of @greenparty.org.uk is putting almost every other party leader in the UK to shame, and a lot more politicians besides. When did you hear anything like this from any other party leader?

Reform UK are yelling “drill, baby, drill” 🙄 But fracking is reckless & won’t even cut bills. Time to end this nonsense. Tell Ed Miliband: BAN FRACKING permanently. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ke...

Well done Lush!!

Great Private Eye article. "In the case of Sizewell C, the new French nuclear power station recently given the go-ahead, ministers simply ignored the strictures of the planning authorities and regulators." #SayNo2SizewellC

Making the Kühnen salute, with thumb, index and middle finger extended to form a “W”—as five protestors accompanying the Reform councillors are doing in the photo—is a criminal offence in Germany. The salute was popularised by the German Neo-Nazi Michael Kühnen.

Treasury says GDF plan 'unachievable' with cost up to £54bn yet risk £bns on risky Sizewell C! "It is likely to take until 2150 to deposit the legacy waste into a GDF, if one is built. Only then would a GDF be able to take waste from new nuclear reactors" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Well done @norwichgreenparty.bsky.social supporting Cllr Amanda Fox arrested for peaceful protest #thepriceoflibertyiseternalvigilance #FreePalestine

Colossal commitment from UK govt on one of the most expensive & poor performing #nuclear reactors ever built Given govt's parlous financial situation, this is money that will be unavailable for real needs like long term storage, electrifying heat & transport infra etc www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A huge betrayal of future generations- we are in a climate crisis that needs immediate action & this govt has chosen to squander £bns of public funds on Sizewell C at £38bn, nearly 2x 2020 cost, & not online till late 2030s! ££s could be much better spent www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Suffolk County Council wasting £1.9M on blatant political advertising when people are not getting care, bus services are cut and potholes are not being fixed.

All four Green MPs voted against proscribing Palestine Action. It's not all MPs who are out of touch. Vote differently.

Headlines like this have become almost daily news. The fact that this relentless targeting and killing of Palestinians on the verge of starvation seeking food is allowed to continue day after day by international leaders almost defies comprehension.

The basic rate of UC should at least cover the cost of basics like food, household bills and travel - but millions are turning to food banks because UC is falling short. I met @jrf-uk.bsky.social‬, @trusselluk.bsky.social‬ and people facing food insecurity to call for an #EssentialsGuarantee

This morning, the Foreign Secretary was repeatedly asked if he considered the U.S. bombing of Iran to be legal. His refusal to answer this & whether Britain would get involved in any capacity is deeply worrying. youtube.com/shorts/_SRbF...

I know you don't want to agree with Piers Morgan but the truth is more important|: Israel is commiting genocide

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

A Trump-era trade deal could wipe out 7,000+ green jobs in the UK Ministers are on the fence! Let’s give them the public push they need to save UK bioethanol before it’s too late: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

You can fine water companies as much as you like, but customers are still on the hook for their reckless debts. Time for Steve Reed to put Thames Water in special measures. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE. That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids. In what world is starving children "efficient"?

Israel Finance Minister Smotrich, "We're destroying everything that remains in Gaza, the world isn't stopping us." Never was ethnic cleansing so blatantly and openly advertised. Why does the world do nothing?

People in Gaza are posting final messages.

Big tech companies want to be able to 'train' their AI models on creative content without the permission of creators. This threatens the livelihoods of the UK's creatives. Labour must not sell out the UK's creative workforce so a few big companies can profit.

To all those accusing me (again 🙄) of being a NIMBY: Given that the government's own analysis shows environmental protection doesn't impede housebuilding, kindly explain how trashing wildlife and habitats will take us any closer to getting the homes we need? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Seen on a postbox in Leeds #PostboxSaturday #PennyBlackDay @letterappsoc.bsky.social

If you covered 0.4% of the UK's farmland in Solar Panels you would have 100% Renewable Energy. The UK already imports more than 40% of its food. Solar Panels are not going to have ANY effect on food prices.

It is long past time that the civilised world condemned Israel for its genocidal behaviour. Way past time the world should listen to Greta Thunberg

LIBERTY DEFEATS GOVERNMENT APPEAL AS COURT RULES ANTI-PROTEST LAWS ARE UNLAWFUL This should be on every UK News channel. If they won’t report it I’ll do it myself

Current council leaders have described Reform plans to cut local spending as detached from reality Terry Stacy of the Local Government Association said Reform is "living with their heads in the clouds" Lib Dem councilor Joe Harris told PolHome "practical realities would hit them rather quickly"

"Promising to build more nuclear power is a political path to climate action delay and a distraction from a sustainable and decarbonized energy system transition." #SayNo2SizewellC www.theenergymix.com/nuclear-ener...

The Gary Lineker saga in one small clip. He has upset Israel.

As part of our upcoming festival, our co-founder (and all-round renaissance woman), Jackie, is giving an author talk about her latest novel 'Notebook Number Nine' on 14th August! John Peel Café, Stowmarket Free entry but donations to Foreword Festival welcome. #books #literature #festival #author

"Deep geological disposal is seen as the only option partly because of the long-lasting nature of radioactivity Plutonium takes 24,000yrs for its radioactivity to decline by just half, while Uranium-238 takes 4.5bnyrs" Yet #Labour say #nuclear is 'clean'! www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

After last year's glowing reviews, we've set high expectations! Will you be joining us for Bury Lit Fest 2025? What would earn us a five-star rating from you? #BuryLitFest

Last year's festival featured a popular session with best-selling author and writing mentor Jill Dawson. She discussed her career and novels with Bury Lit Fest Honorary Patron Margaret Meyer and provided insights into her mentoring approach. Something that there'll be more of in 2025...
