This is a good moment for Europe & UK to remember that they can stick up wind and solar, insulates houses, far quicker than they can find new gas in e.g. North Sea If you're chasing more gas, it's now a case of which unreliable regime you prefer to depend on news.sky.com/story/market...

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills. The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

New YouGov polling shows Greens in 2nd place for first time, closing in fast on Reform. The Gorton & Denton by-election will go down as the most momentous in recent history. Hannah Spencer's win there has completely changed the game

The corporate media don't want you to know this, but offer people genuine social and ecological justice combined with ambition, and most of us will rally behind it. We're seeing examples of this all over the world, and it's what hope looks like.

🚨 BREAKING: Political opposition to the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field is broad, and it is growing. Over 60 cross-party MPs and MSPs have now signed our pledge to oppose the Rosebank oil field and support a just transition. Is your MP/MSP one of them?

Hannah, we are so happy to welcome you to Parliament and to the team of @greenparty.org.uk MPs! 💐💚☀️

I just want to say, very clearly, I am pleased the Greens printed election leaflets in Urdu. Unlike the Mail, I think democracy benefits when voters are well informed.

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

Corruption in England's water industry and its regulation 2,778 serious pollution incidents reported in 2024. Officials downgraded 2,735 (98%) to minor incidents. Only 496 attended before downgrading; the rest were deemed minor. Regulators collude with industry, inflicting harms to people.

Again it has to be said - net zero is not the reason for our stubbornly and stupidly high energy prices - the global price of gas is. www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...

The victory of the Greens in the Gorton and Denton byelection is a landmark for the party. But Cardiff University research reveals the party has received limited airtime over the last year despite almost doubling support in the polls wp.me/p8Mk4U-1g85

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Wow. Josh Simons has resigned as govt minister Follows weeks of reporting by Democracy for Sale and others about how he paid PR firm to smear journalists investigating Labour Together Huge thanks to all our supporters. Couldn’t have done it without you democracyforsale.substack.com/p/starmer-al...

100% agree with this statement. Good to see we still have decent politicians that will call this out

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Yorkshire’s ‘Dirty Business’: The scandal flowing through our rivers Yorkshire’s water pollution is the third worst in the UK. Who is responsible – and what can be done about it? By Kirsty Tucker

This is such an exciting day for me, with the premiere of the film made about my 17 years rewilding an Irish Atlantic rainforest (also the film's title). What a surreal moment in my life it'll be to see the ecosystem I know and love so well on a big cinema screen!!

🔴 Naz Shah MP on Gorton & Denton Claims: 'How Do Supposedly Sectarian Muslims End Up Voting for a Radically Progressive Party with a Gay Jewish Leader?' The MP for Bradford West told Byline Times: "I know what clan-based politics looks like, I have a history of fighting it, this isn't what this is"

"Diversity within species contributes to ecosystem functioning and represents an often-overlooked layer of biodiversity." #Biodiversity - we have so little understanding of what we are trashing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Starmer should sack Mahmood for insisting P.A. protestors (against genocide!) are branded as 'terrorists'. She seems crazy to oppose the high court judgement. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called ‘allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.
