Whatever decisions the Labour Council @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social may make to support the U-turns of the Government which promised to protect the environment, we will stand our ground

Our candidates in the Brentford East & Syon & Brentford Lock Wards by-elections, Rashid Wahab & Freya Summersgill @freyasummersgill.bsky.social continue to fight against the third runway

We have been campaigning consistently for a halt to airport expansion, along with a powerful lobby of organisations devoted to combatting Climate Change and pollution, since the idea first came into the minds of Heathrow Ltd.

🚫 NO NO HEATHROW NO 🚫 Once again the outrageous idea of a third runway has seeped into politicians' heads and this time it's Labour who have been seized by this terrible idea. Tomorrow, (Wednesday 29th) probably the PM will announce yet another Climate U-Turn #NoToHeathrow 🚫✈️🚫

If true, this is unbelievably reprehensible - an early test of Labour Government’s green commitment and they’ve comprehensively failed. @zero-hour.bsky.social

So Labour can find the money to 'relax' their changes to the non-dom tax regime but they can't find the money to restore the winter fuel allowance or lift children out of poverty by scrapping the two-child benefit cap 🤔 Whose side are they on?

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

Trump’s inauguration marks a dangerous step toward right-wing populism. To counter it, we must offer hope: green investment, secure jobs, public services, and climate action. The far right thrives on despair; we must show democracy delivers real change.

Trump's inauguration should mark a turning point. Time for the UK to stop trying to ride the US's coattails and start working with those who share our values and want the things we want.

Billionaire wealth has risen 3 times faster in 2024 than 2023 according to @oxfamgb.bsky.social with 60% coming from either inheritance, cronyism and corruption or monopoly power. This gross level of wealth hoarding is unjust and unsustainable. Now is the time to tax the super-rich properly.

I’m just about to close my Xitter account. Musk’s barrage of fascist and anti U.K. government propaganda over the last few days, has done it for me. I have nearly 10,000 #FBPE followers there. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to leave and start afresh in BlueSky? Thanks 🙏🏼

📉 Food sales to the EU have fallen by a fifth since Brexit. 🚨 Leaving the EU has caused huge damage to our economy and communities, but we don't have to just take it on the chin. 🇪🇺 Now is the time to rejoin the Customs Union and begin repairing our relationship with the EU.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

2024 was provisionally the fourth warmest year on record for the UK. With extreme weather events on our doorstep the Government must urgently show the political courage to tackle the climate and inequality crises.

A record number of lives were lost in the Channel in 2024. These and future deaths are entirely preventable. All it requires is political will. We need safe, legal routes now.

The crisis in social care is clear for everyone to see. Patients, carers and staff are hurting now. We don't need to wait years for a report to confirm what we already know. The Government must act now. Here's what the Green Party would do to fix the social care crisis:

One day, universal basic income will be as normal as universal health care is today. So that's America fucked twice over.

Here's some big news, everyone. ITSA Foundation has officially reached our fundraising goal of $1.5 million for our first two key UBI projects. Both the Bootstraps docuseries and Comingle are expected to be completed and released next year. PRESS RELEASE: itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/p/income-to-...

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Instead of paying millions directly to private businesses, how about paying a basic income to the families and letting them make their own spending decisions? #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

I recommend following @scottsantens.com to learn way more about UBI. But here's the skinny. Trickle down doesn't work. Money trickles up until it reaches a breaking point and then it POURs up So the extremely rich become destructively richer. UBI ensures everyone benefits instead of just a few.

"If we fail to deliver real solutions – not just in rhetoric but through policies that improve people’s lives – more demagogues will rise." My article today on a Universal Basic Income in the @bigissue.com : 👇🏼 www.bigissue.com/opinion/univ...

A universal basic income policy is simple yet transformative, writes Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales If we fail to deliver real solutions – not just rhetoric but through policies that improve people’s lives – more demagogues will rise. https://buff.ly/3ZNWkp8

With #UBI and community centers everywhere, even homeless people could afford to do their laundry and take showers.

If the wealthy won't pay those who generate their wealth a living wage, voluntarily, we need a tax system that rebalances the books. A Universal/Unconditional Basic Income, paid for by fair taxation on the mega wealthy could do this.

For those who don't know the story, when Nixon proposed his guaranteed basic income for families, it passed the House twice but never the Senate. There are multiple reasons why, but one of them was fear by men of women leaving marriages. Pilot results supported that but were later found to be error.

Have you noticed that most people opposing a Universal Basic Income because "UBI discourages work" are in well-paid, comfortable jobs and not holding down two or three minimum wage jobs? I support #UBI because it will help those on low incomes out of wage poverty. It's not (yet) a work replacement!

Forget the crazy far-right for a sec. Let's see what a real, optimistic, caring vision looks like. Green party deputy leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social sets out the case for universal basic income. A compassionate and compelling solution to a broken Britain. www.bigissue.com/opinion/univ...

I'm playing about with making feeds. I Just made one for "Universal Basic Income" which I hope some people might find useful. When I manage to get properly to grips with Regex I'll make it track #UBI posts too! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Nigel Farage has endless publicity because he tells you the lies the billionaires want you to hear. But he only has the same number of MP's as the Green's who have no publicity at all. Imagine if it was reversed.

📢 Act now for basic income! Find and share a UBI post to move the movement forward.

Universal Basic Income won’t create itself. Let’s take action—together. #UBI #BasicIncome #CollectiveResponsibility

Here's a #cartoon for all who work in the #arts from the Phoenix magazine #christmas annual - out now. #ai #artificialintelligence #programmer #copyright #theft

As I’ve said before, we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet. We need to do it with speed & we need to do it with urgency & then we need to use it with truth & justice to send Elon Musk packing www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Universal Basic Income saves lives. It is a life-saving policy.

Merry Christmas to all

Quick Public Service Announcement: A big apology to all those wonderful people who decided to follow my account, but I didn't follow back. A lot going on IRL (parent severe illness, university) so it's taken me until today to catch up. Have a great holiday all. 💙

Replace the House Of Lords with a second chamber. Replace the unelected with the elected.

I worked on BBC Horrible Histories, and wrote some of the Stupid Deaths sketches Without doubt, my faves were Ancient Greek intellectuals: e.g, Empedocles who jumped in an active volcano trying to become a god… Or Philitas of Kos who starved due to obsessively needing to correct grammar errors👇

Universal healthcare and UBI are not "positives" or "good", they are a moral imperative and the sign of a healthy society.

Sometimes my kids will watch a movie from the 90s and be like “this entire story would be fixed in three minutes with a cellphone” and I sincerely hope their kids say the same thing about UBI.
