The white poppy has been worn for over 90 years, as a symbol of remembrance & peace. By wearing a white poppy, we remember all victims of war, both civilian & military. We remember those who are so often overlooked, buried under the rubble, suffering from starvation or displaced from their homes.

WHITE POPPY ON MAIN

We need you, your community needs you, the country needs you and the planet needs you! The system we live in is geared to profit & exploitation, we need to make changes and soon join.greenparty.org.uk 💚

Very excited to be supporting this new audio drama on Kickstarter. It's from @laurenshippen.com the creator and writer of brilliant character-driven stories such as The Bright Sessions, and Two Thousand and Late. Why not join me in making a pledge!

The man who took food and medicine from the world’s poorest people, condemning thousands to a miserable death, is the world’s first trillionaire.

A year ago today, we had a really terrible election night, and because I know how people fall into despair I sat down at 11pm and wondered what I could tell you. I told you:

On Remembrance Day, wear a #WhitePoppy for peace - to remember all victims of war, of all nationalities, both civilian and military, to challenge militarism and help build a culture of peace. White poppies have been worn on Remembrance Day since 1933. www.ppu.org.uk/remembrance-...

Feeling weary today, but nevertheless, we persist. "...you must go on, that’s all I know... you must say words, as long as there are any - until they find me, until they say me... You must go on. I can’t go on. I’ll go on."

We can create our own power!

If you need an injection of positivity, I strongly recommend watching Power Station, if it's on near you (screening list & trailer here: power.film/pages/screen...). It's a beautiful story of a community taking action to make their on electricity supply cleaner, greener and cheaper. Brilliant stuff.

Last chance today & tomorrow to see some captivating immersive theatre from Vinicius Salles. Watched it in a tiny, beautifully-designed space in London, with brilliant Lily Ockwell performing and about a dozen audience. The Bacchae from a woman's perspective: www.colabtheatre.co.uk/weekly/2025/...

I've written for the Metro on how Starmer's latest attempt to look 'tough' on asylum seeker hotels has exposed him as a coward. A government spending more just in order to inflict greater misery on refugees is beyond contempt - & that contempt is showing up in the polls. metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

Today's mood

Fabulous free art / science exhibition at the Science Gallery near London Bridge - Quantum Entangled london.sciencegallery.com/quantum

East London is anti fascist ❤️🖤

Trump is destroying a core piece of US #WomensHistory. Of course 19thnews.org/2025/10/east...

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Starmer’s decision to pitch his government as ultra-centrist is looking like a massive strategic error. People are hungry for change and all Labour now offers is business as usual. There is a huge space opening up for the left here particularly if we unite and then mobilise anti-Reform sentiment.

Greens are shifting the debate. Next we shift power. Join greensorganise.uk

All out to stop UKIP Islamophobes in Tower Hamlets towerhamlets.greenparty.org.uk/2025/10/20/a...

Legal challenge to Palestine Action ban can go ahead, court rules The ban…categorised it alongside the likes of Islamic State and National Action. Since then, over 2,000 people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act for supporting Palestine Action www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Anti-migrant rhetoric is hurting the health and wellbeing of the population and is therefore a major public health issue. The prejudice & division propaganda has consequences in terms of mental health, workforce morale & capacity, stigma & barriers to access support, feelings of safety & security.

As @davidheniguk.bsky.social argues v well here in his thread, this is another v basic mistake Starmer has made.

Reject the politics of hate 💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

Good man. Dont back down. Don't let these thugs intimidate you.

Glad to have been part of this action in solidarity. End the genocide. End the occupation. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Can we all just shout about how despicable it is to scapegoat migrants for everything? Can we just stop being too polite or shy about it? Can we condemn it at work, with friends, family, on SM, everywhere? Can we just not keep calm & carry on until it’s too late? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Worth noting the EHRC guidance goes further than the Supreme Court ruling. If implemented in its fullest it will ensure trans and non-binary individuals are excluded from socialising, work, school, basically being allowed to be in public for any periods of time. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Clive is absolutely right here: the problem is completely normalised corruption so bad that criticism forces the corrupted people together, in defence of their unmerited, unearned privileges. How can we fend off these crazy people who say we shouldn’t have free designer gear and Taylor tickets?

Disgraceful and pathetic

Maybe I would be more tempted to use LLMs if I didn't really like writing and thinking, but, well,

Much respect to @enversol.bsky.social and other colleagues. We always been worried about the safety of our community members but now increasingly worried for staff and others who step forward to help those in need. The fabric of public service is being eroded. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s not just British Greens standing with the people of Palestine. Chlöe Swarbrick, Co-Leader of @nzgreenparty.bsky.social shows the world how it’s done. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

This is actually diabolical. Plus wouldn't it be amazing if third sector charities, who work with real people every day, front line services, were given the opportunity to learn from inside govt. and civil servants were sent on secondment to us. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This! A wonderful show, full of joy, I'm so glad I saw it

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn» En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på. Veldig fin video Oslo Pride🌈

Update on this: The consultation will now “aim to launch 19 May and close on 30 June 2025” So it’s now six weeks instead of two. This Pride Month let’s make our campaigning centred around contributing to this consultation.

Telling contrast in approaches here

And it’s absolutely vile & hugely offensive

Sunday morning, 4 May at Wainui Beach Aotearoa / New Zealand Blustery weather across the motu these days. About 10 minutes after taking this photo I got drenched by one of the rain showers moving through the area. Kia pai to rā / Gave a great day everyone

This one is for every Green candidate, agent, campaign organiser, canvasser, leafleter, voter and supporter: Thank you! 💚 1/

This is HUGE news 👏 I fully support the calls on Government to scrap legislation and review every arrest made under the draconian law. Thank you to all involved at @libertyhq.bsky.social for continually fighting for our right to protest ✊

A huge turnout in London today to support trans rights ✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Sending love, strength and solidarity to trans people today and every day. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

The law determines what is legal. It does not determine what is true; what is just; what is morally and ethically sound and defensible. The history of law is the history of the legal system being wrong on these grounds. Trans women are women.
