Something the Government want you to forget...

BREAKING: The government has abandoned its plan to delay elections to 30 councils across the country, after being warned by lawyers that the move would be illegal It is understood that the legal advice was related to the Reform UK challenge www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Drug laws have never stopped people from using drugs. They've stopped people from using drugs safely. It's time to legalise *and* regulate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We're trialling something new this year at the BSBI - an activity designed to support absolute beginner botanists with identifying *and* recording their first ever 100 plants in 2026 🌿 If you know anyone that might like to take part then please spread the word: bsbi.org/take-part/ac...

Oh hey, it's my book! Due out next week!!

I’m fine, just got something in my eye…

The @cambsgreenparty.bsky.social are bringing bold change to the county 💚 In our amendment to this year’s budget, we are proposing introducing a workplace parking levy, getting our city’s wealthiest companies to pay back into our public transport system so that everybody can get around 🚌

Are we ready to acknowledge yet that the problem is not with a handful of bad people, but a massive systemic crisis rooted in colonialism and the resultant trauma it instilled in everyone involved in it?

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote": 1. Things have changed. 2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit) 3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Posts with thousands of interactions wrongly named the Green Party candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election before it was announced. The Greens have now confirmed a different person is their actual candidate.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"The global attack on nature is threatening the UK’s national security, government intelligence chiefs have warned, as the increasingly likely collapse of vitally important natural systems would bring mass migration, food shortages and price rises, and global disorder."

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

This week, Govt quietly published a 'Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment' after an FOI forced their hand. It is a deeply concerning read for anyone who cares about our future.

Research shows even a modest UBI paying the same as the current benefits system would bring huge benefits because the payment would be certain, so people on low incomes can invest - in education, their health, or starting a new business. This is the bold action the UK needs!

Can Anglian Water, the company that had 482 pollution incidents in 2024 (a rate of more than one per day), be trusted to manage wildlife conservation at Grafham Water “in house”? Probably not no.

Such a shame. One of my first volunteer days with the Wildlife Trusts was at Grafham.

Concerning decision by Anglian Water to take management of Grafham Water nature reserve in-house www.huntspost.co.uk/news/2574623.... Here’s hoping they look after the wildlife as well as @wildlifebcn.org has done for the last 40-odd years.

We can’t go on like this. In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary. The right calls this “wealth creation”. It’s wealth extraction. Time to tax the rich. @highpaycentre.bsky.social highpaycentre.org/fat-cat-day-...

I wrote a thing (my article is the one with the Star Wars reference 🤓)

Genuine question: Why's the reaction of many politicians to AI 'it's transformational, we must go faster, we can dismiss concerns over energy, copyright, job losses', yet the reaction to a clean tech transition that's more advanced and has less overt downsides is 'steady now, we need to slow down'.

If, like me, you’re finding the winter darkness oppressive, and you’re a night owl, and you can’t wait until the shortest day of the year to start feeling a sense of optimism again: Today is the day of the earliest sunset. The evenings get longer from today. You’re welcome.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

Would love to see the government pander to Green voters for a bit, just for fun

That @zackpolanski.bsky.social bounce just keeps on bouncing! cambridge.greenparty.org.uk/2025/10/surg...

This World Mental Health Day we want to remind all our fellow @greenparty.org.uk activists that rest is a form of resistance ✊ Bringing real hope and real change is hard work — it’s ok to take a breaks when you need to 💚

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia. I disagree. RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

A record 1,611 people - including 11 children - died while homeless in 2024. Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain's housing crisis. A home is not a privilege. A home is a human right. We are sick of Labour's half measures. We need affordable housing NOW!

The Green surge continues ... We’ve just passed 90,000 members! 💚 People everywhere are joining the movement for real change. Want hope to be normal again? Join the Green Party today ↩️

This government wants to "build, baby, build". But who will benefit from this drive - property developers, or the rest of us? And if they reach their goal of building 1.5m new homes, what does this mean for the climate? neweconomics.org/2025/10/a-be...

They also say the Act is threatening economic growth. Again. Nonsensical. How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures help the economy? Clearly they don’t, they disrupt it.

While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act. This makes no sense. How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature? That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.
