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

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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.

After a decade as a de facto poop correspondent, it was great to see the sewage scandal brought together in Channel 4’s brilliant drama Dirty Business. Even if you think you know the story, watch it. I’ve tried to sum up the whole malodorous affair here: watershedinvestigations.com/a-decade-ins...

Can't argue with them numbers!

The Greens took it! Hannah Spencer, a working class woman, overcame the bullshit of both the billionaire owned press and billionaire funded racism of Reform. Against all odds, she won on a message of authenticity, common sense and unity. This is historic and well deserved. Hats off.

A fantastic result in Gorton & Denton with so many volunteers travelling to help get @greenpartyhan.bsky.social elected. So many reporting how much the residents were up for voting a Green Party candidate. Smashes the idea that the Greens can't win elections. Congrats to Hannah the MP.

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election. Congratulations!

Hopkins is not a mainstream figure. Twitter banned her for a reason. The Sun suspended her for a reason. LBC stopped using her for a reason. Just because a few years have gone by since those sackings she doesn't suddenly get a free pass. Her record is absolutely appalling

Polls open until 10pm in Gorton and Denton. It's Greens vs. Reform - every single vote counts. 🗳️ 💚

Thank you to Baroness Bennett @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social for highlighting how influencers like Andrew Tate are driving increased cigar usage among young people. The Government were right to stand up to industry pressure and keep cigars covered by the Tobacco & Vapes Bill.

The end of Digging for Britain. For me, at least. But I’ll still be making television about archaeology, on other channels. So watch this space…

Still not too late to come & be part of history! We are out til 10pm...

Fair play to the Greens. Is this the dirtiest campaign by Labour, ever? So Starmer's Labour would rather let Reform UK take Gorton and Denton than be beaten by their arch rivals. Just how much must these politicians in Westminster despise their former constituents?

BREAKING: Jersey has passed its Assisted Dying Law, after States Members voted in favour by 32 votes to 16. This is a historic moment for Jersey and a momentous vote of confidence for compassion, dignity, and choice at the end of life. #AssistedDying #AssistedDyingJersey

Reform UK's Gorton and Denton candidate Matt Goodwin holds a visiting professorship at a university centre allied with at least five ‘race science’-linked organisations including the front publication of a rebranded Nazi eugenics foundation - a network whose central figures he has defended and promo

BREAKING: The Senedd has given its consent to Westminster's assisted dying bill. If the Senedd had blocked it, there would have been a constitutional headache for those backing the bill. Several MSs raised concerns, but were defeated.

Reform want ICE-style deportations in the UK — the kind that have wreaked havoc in the US. Instead of standing up to this Trump tribute act, Labour is echoing it. And it won’t fix what’s broken. Inequality is the problem — and only the Greens have a plan to confront it. @CarlaDenyer.bsky.social
