Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Just spent two days knocking doors in Gorton and Denton. Knocking is just as the polling shows. Lots of Greens, plenty of Reform and many Labour. The self organising of crowds of people from all over the country to help @greenpartyhan.bsky.social to win this was a joy to see. 🧵on the doors…

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Stoneygate (Leicester) Council By-Election Result: 🌍 GRN: 30.4% (+22.9) 🌹 LAB: 27.7% (-12.8) 🏘️ OL: 16.2% (New) 🙋 Ind: 11.5% (New) 🌳 CON: 8.3% (-15.3) ➡️ RFM: 2.7% (New) 🔶 LDM: 1.6% (-5.9) 🙋 Ind: 1.6% (New) No Ind (-21.0) as previous. Green GAIN from Labour. Changes w/ 2023.

✂️ The multi-millionaires in Reform want to 'look at' cutting the minimum wage for young people. 📈 The Green Party would increase the minimum wage for everybody. 🤑 It's clear where Reform's interests lie. ✅️ Vote Green to put everyday people before the super-rich.

2nd story on BBC radio 4 bulletins now Still huge questions to answer about Labour Together smearing journalists and sources As I revealed yesterday, senior Labour insiders knew - and person who commissioned it, Josh Simons, now a Starmer minister…. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/starmer-al...

barnetpost.co.uk/2026/02/07/i... Barnet has it's first Green Councillor!

The UN Secretary General has said it's time to move beyond GDP and measure "the things that really matter to people and their communities." He's right.

Please, don’t just stand with Ella’s legacy at events Stand with her in action Clean air is not negotiable It's every child and adult Londoners right 4.

@london.gov.uk please reconsider your refusal to ban fossil fuel product advertising on TfL I know that you know Ella Roberta Kissi-Debrah was only 9 years old when she died, and that air pollution in London is officially recognised as a contributing factor in her needless and preventable death 1.

There are many similarities between now and 400 years ago. Raising the floor for each and every one was another.

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy! Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence. Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

A little egret has made its home in Friary Park's new wetland area.

Planting more trees with @theorchardproject.bsky.social and @earthwatcheurope.bsky.social yesterday in Stoneyfields Park, Edgware. It was Imbolc, Celtic spring, Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for Trees, and St Brigid's Day, the patron saint of poetry - so a poem by the wonderful Janet Sutherland

*This* is a large number of supporters and activists! All out today delivering over 40,000 leaflets across Gorton and Denton for Hannah Spencer

We're out campaigning in Gorton and Denton for the by-election on 26th of February. it's time for change in this community, it's time for hope, it's time to VOTE GREEN

#GetGreensElected - #VoteGreen

Labour have taken votes for granted for decades. Stop Reform - and send this Government a message. Support Hannah Spencer & the Green Party in Gorton & Denton! youtu.be/pXZ7r05JtGg?...

Through writing a story about climate change, you can help shape new research at the @uofgsocsci.bsky.social into what people in Scotland think and feel about the changing climate and whether this has an impact on their mental health or emotional wellbeing. 1/2

barnetpost.co.uk/2026/01/28/c... A great campaign to try and hold Barnet Council to account on wages. One of the last 4 councils in London not yet signed up to paying fair wages.

i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts

I made it to 4 wassails this month in North London: Friary Park, Castlehaven, Hollickwood Park and Broomfield Park. Great community bonding, bonkers, joyous celebrations, and a giant pigeon called Big Pidge! Loved seeing the New Esperance Morris dancers

#Goodgym #Barnet have been helping asylum seekers across the borough volunteer with local community projects. There's so much need and they are so eager to help, it's great to be able to break down barriers! @goodgym.bsky.social

The plan to build 260 houses on Brislington Meadows fails to consider new evidence on wildlife variety & climate breakdown that has emerged since 2023. Building hundreds of houses on @brismeadows.bsky.social amounts to over-development. conserverliving.blogspot.com/2026/01/new-...

No more of that Johari Window rubbish about 'things we don't know we know': they know alright. Ecological experts keep talking about 'old landscapes' - habitats that take centuries to form and sustain some of the rarest, most enriching parts of nature, and they can't be offset by weak metrics.

Labour: ‘we need to shoot down slogans and easy fixes that don’t work’. Also Labour: ‘anyway, here’s our Trump-inspired slogan which offers an easy fix that doesn’t work.’

Despite everything, we are planning for and building a better world. There's a new toolkit out to help people move forward shutting down the (explosive) gas system in their neighborhoods from @sonalj.bsky.social, a fellow @cplusc.bsky.social Fellow. climateandcommunity.org/research/nei...

Driving is a privilege, earned through assessment and retained via acceptable standards. Why should such people ever be allowed to lawfully drive again and share the road with victims? We would never return a firearms licence to someone who unlawfully used a gun to kill. Why is driving different?

As the entire vision of being a 'green export superpower' fades, tech is stepping in to suck up what's left Apparently Google is one of the major customers, if not *the* customer behind the plans to indefinitely postpone any green export from Sun Cable - and replace it with a data centre:

Australia's department of environment quietly removed *ALL* hydrogen projects from its annual big listing of major projects. I find that remarkable. It's admission that the raft of cancellations is just very bad optics www.theguardian.com/environment/...

MERRY CHIPMAS: I have a new @crikey.com.au piece about how a HUGE solar farm planned in north Aus planned to send power via cable to Singapore - but is now PIvoting To Data Centre As hydrogen projects collapse all over the place, the green export dream is dying... www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/23/d...

We walk the cold ways of winter. Our magics become based on mud, phyllomantic tellings of tomorrow. In this shivering territory, hats and cloaks are practical working tools worn because the witch fears no weather, but knows when to wrap up. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981 #WitchSky

🔴 REVEALED 🔴 The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 📝 Exclusive findings from @desmog.com 👇

UPDATE: 3 things I learned today 1) Political leaders haven’t thought much about the health threats of CO2 capture and storage. Eg CO2 pipelines have kill zones. Leaks can acidify aquifers and mobilize heavy metals. 2) 45Q tax credits for CCS are now by far the biggest subsidy to oil and gas AND…

The social media ban is the Platonic ideal of contemporary politics: An ill-conceived, superficial "we must do something" response to a serious systemic issue The real harm it will cause terrifies me Can it inspire us to create a better politics? in-between-days.ghost.io/the-social-m...

SALES DIRECTOR: Why no kitchen table? DESIGN LEAD: Because kitchen tables are for fucking Candyland. We’re selling a political mode of thinking: deduction as power. Think less “family night,” and more “I will find the hidden structure of your choices, and then I will destroy you.”

As a long-time campaigner for publicly owned railways and the proud owner of a very well-worn @bringbackbritishrail.org t-shirt, I am excited to vote for #GreatBritishRailways in public hands today 🛤️🙌 But as @sianberry just said in the Commons debate - shall we do the actual trains next?! 🚆
