French meteorologist on TV: "A heat wave in May: we're tipping into uncharted territory..." Dr Zaka: "YES! That's what needs to be said on the weather forecast. Enough with the trivialization of climate change with ice cream vendors and surfers. Thank you, Sébastien Thomas!"

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

These local elections will be the closest ever seen. Every vote will count, no matter who you are voting for, make sure you use your democratic right on Thursday! But also Vote Green!

Ed Miliband is right. 'Spain's pivot to renewables has been a big win for household energy bills. In 2019, prior to its wind and solar revolution, it had some of the highest electricity prices in Europe. Now it has some of the cheapest.' www.euronews.com/2026/03/11/s...

Utterly digusting antisemitism as the country's only Jewish party leader is heckled by Nazi scum.

The excellent @kentcurrent.news has been doing some more digging into the strange case of the Kent county councillor who’d like a second seat… on Greenwich Council www.kentcurrent.news/alan-cecil-a...

Greenwich Labour’s election pledge to give every child a £150 voucher to buy a new bike is an “incredible policy” that will transform children’s lives, a councillor has said. The flagship policy came under criticism from rival candidates on Thursday.

(1/11) Following on from my post about digital billboards/ad-screens (bsky.app/profile/ruth...) I want to talk about monopoles & telecoms equipment, which pose some similar problems…. @livingstreets.bsky.social @sheffgreenparty.bsky.social @douglasjohnson.bsky.social @martinphipps13.bsky.social

Another disgrace from the Starmer, Labour Together crew. Getting rid of councillors who don’t have the right face, for mates and relatives of the gang . Cronyism. Send Labour packing on 7th May. Vote Green

Read the Green Party’s “Workers Charter”, launched at our May Day Rally by @zackpolanski.bsky.social Labour now take more money from corporations than unions, they watered down the employment rights act, and speak against striking workers. @greenparty.org.uk are the strongest party for workers.

The Green Party has complained to the Times' editor about this cartoon which they say pushes antisemitic tropes against Zack Polanski by portraying him with a hooked nose. "Zack faces daily anti-semitism, and in the past six weeks two people have been arrested for anti-semitic actions towards him."

Green Party Hither Green candidates out listening to our community Choose Hope. Vote Green Thursday 7th May 💚🗳️

This is slipping fast into Rapid and Unjust Transition territory. We’re already seeing huge impacts in less wealthy countries. I find it hard to imagine any response to the crisis here that doesn’t involve changing how we all think about and use energy here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thanks Adrian for a lovely write-up about my new book Green Thinking @bylinetimes.bsky.social! So much to #Unlearn in science, economics and politics! www.bylinesupplement.com/p/the-green-...

With much focus today on the warming rate in Europe, it might be important to also pay attention to the "cold blob" - that area in blue to the northwest of Ireland/British Isles, with a persistent cooling anomaly. It's linked to a slowing down of the AMOC = potential big climate upheaval.

Watch the May Day Rally online! The Green Party Trade Union Group is holding a rally with Zack Polanski, Hannah Spencer and Carla Denyer in Manchester. ⏰ Friday 1st of May - 1830hrs Watch from your sofa and hear from workers and trade unionists. 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Yz...

A building recently home to a charity was sold by Greenwich Council and now sees plans for a 12-bed HMO What's the odds it's now used for temporary housing, though via a private landlord charging extremely high rents to the authority www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/04/29/g...

Devastating news from Golders Green this morning. My prayers are with everyone affected. We are in debt to the emergency services, including Hatzola, for their immediate response. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Absolutely horrified by the terrorist incident in Golders Green today - my thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the wider community in the wake of this appalling act of violence.

Vote Green on 7th May for buses back in public control and free fares for under 22 year olds. Zack Polanski visited Newcastle on Monday to call for a 'boost for buses' to ease the affordability crisis.

Has your MP signed the Parliamentary Call for a government-led televised emergency briefing on the climate & nature crisis? It’s time to level with the public about the threats we now face, but also the huge opportunities if we take genuine emergency action. #PEBuk #TimeToStepUp

Labour are refusing to bring in rent controls which are common across Europe. End the affordability crisis. Introduce rent controls. Vote Green on 7th May 💚
