Palantir contracts create new leverage for Trump via Peter Thiel, the ultra far right sponsor of Vance and the MAGA movement more generally, as well as being a moral abomination. Stupid and outrageous.

We saw it with big tobacco, we saw it with the fossil fuels industry. When their own internal research showed the harm from their product, the defunded the research and attacked independent researchers coming to the very same conclusions. #ScienceUnderSiege

A driver doing 50mph in a 20mph limit killed 27 year old Harry Webb two years ago in Kenworthy Rd in Hackney. Communities rightly remember people killed on roads, treated as race tracks, by people speeding through. We all need to be clear that speeding is harmful and a risk never worth taking.

#HanwellBroadway ward, we had a really receptive door knocking session yesterday, with #nataliaKubica #AndrewWalkley, big issue was the council's poor communication record from bin collection dates to street restriction changes.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation. It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them. Disastrous strategy by Labour.

Donald Trump treats the international stage like a schoolyard playground, attempting to bully and brute force other countries into compliance with his imperialist agenda. The UK cannot continue to appease an erratic, unreliable leader under the guise of a "special relationship."

We have choices to make. Do we invest in our communities and people who live across the country? Or do we provide tax breaks & subsides to billionaires? The Green Party will always push the right choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Basically Trump is threatening to sanction NATO unless NATO commits suicide. And people still think he might sanction Russia. He is doing Putin’s work.

Government has done well in securing record offshore wind capacity. Renewables are the future! But when the power reaches our homes, too much of it goes straight out the windows of our cold leaky houses. So now it's time for govt to insulate every home that needs it.

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike. Privatised water is a scam. I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

To misquote Elaine (Seinfeld): “Just when I think you're the shallowest party I've ever met, you somehow manage to drain a little more out of the pool.”

No better example of this than Lord Offord being named as Reform's leader in Scotland weeks after he defected, despite there being several other candidates, one of whom is a sitting MSP in one of Reform's top target region in Scotland.

"Greens were on course to win when these elections were first cancelled and our support has grown rapidly since. Democracy isn't optional, and this should alarm everyone" Green co-deputy leader @rachelmillward.bsky.social on the postponement of up to 30 council elections until 2027.

Basically this is how most people responded when they learned I was a Green (I joined in 2013).

The Government have u-turned on ID Cards. Good. Authoritarian plans to scrap jury trials need to go next.

This is obviously the right decision. It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New analysis out today from Rhodium Group showing data centres were one of the major drivers of the first rise in total economy-wide emissions in the US in years Uncontrolled growth of demand has helped boost coal growth, in conjunction with the LNG export boom -> rhg.com/research/us-...

The Home Office has become even more Trumpian, in its copying of far right tone and style. Only days after Trump published footage of people being deported in manacles Labour was copying them. It's only getting worse as they further dehumanise migrants www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on: * Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc AND * Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero I kid you not, it is that stupid

I absolutely welcome the govt's new law making it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images - and I also recognise that legislation is only as good as its enforcement. We must ensure Ofcom's investigation is conducted swiftly; justice for victims cannot wait.

“Deepfake child pornography is fine as long as only adults get to see it” is a curious place for the modern Conservative Party to find itself, but here we are

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

Mark Ruffalo, "Renee Good was murdered and we have literally storm troopers running around terrorising people" "I love these people, I love being here at the Golden Globes" "But it's so hard to pretend any more" "This is crazy what's happening"

Hard agree we need a root and branch cultural reset on attitudes to road crime. And if future driving permission was at risk, would that make people more aware of the immense responsibility that comes with driving a car? (Sorry it’s the Daily Mail but they’ve got this right).

Wait… so the justification for removing the right to a jury trial from hundreds, maybe thousands, of people is that they might clear a 5 year backlog after 10 years?

In a sane world, this would be front page news everywhere. But it will hardly be covered anywhere. The North Pacific Ocean surface warmed over twice as much over the past 15 years than it did over the preceding 156 years. That's an increase in warming rate of >2000%!

No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is. We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform. No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The world's richest 0.1% took just three days to exhaust their annual carbon budget The UK’s richest 1% produced more carbon pollution in eight days than the poorest 50% used in a year. We can't afford the rich - they produce corruption, poverty, environmental degradation; destroy democracy.

Trump has withdrawn the US from global climate treaties. Surprise, surprise his lapdogs in Reform want the UK to follow suit. But the facts won't change: the world is getting hotter, and clean energy was 90% of new power in 2025. Reform follow Trump; we'll follow the science.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Ah here. The 10 o’clock news on BBV Radio 4 is leading with ‘JD Vance has described a woman shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota as a deranged leftist carrying out a terrorist attack’ This is not public service broadcasting

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

This used to be my local gym. Anti-trans bigots are planning one of their horrible events outside. If you're local to Southwark, please think about going along to show support for inclusion.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
