“People are angry, because living standards are falling” We need more leaders like @mothinali.bsky.social to call out the problem: greed, falling living standards and rising wealth inequality. Not divide and distract. The enemy is greed, not each other. #TaxWealth youtube.com/shorts/kCH-F...

#FastFashion and #microplastics. They go together like indoor #AirPollution and lung disease. A few profit and the rest of us pay, particularly the most vulnerable www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Let's Make Hope Normal Again - Green Party Political Broadcast @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social #TaxWealth www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxt4...

Just wow! @zackpolanski.bsky.social absolutely kills it in the @greenparty.org.uk party political broadcast. "Let's make hope normal again" www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxt4...

If you want to reduce plastic use, avoid yellow kitchen sponges like these. They're made of plastic, can't be recycled, don't break down in landfill – and release microplastics into the sea. Eco-friendly, compostable alternatives are available – see: littlegreenspace.org.uk/reviews/seep...

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

My word, the news is unrelentedly shit at the moment... so I'm switching to my Nature list only on BSky for a bit! This female Ivy #bee was going her thing last weekend. The ivy was alive with bees, flies, and wasps, which was delightful. 😊 #solitarybees #wildlifefrommywindow #insects #inverts

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again... 'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

In other news, Kemi Badenoch's party has taken at least £7 million in donations from funders and directors of climate change denial lobby groups bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

A rice-grain-sized male jumping spider, I think Habronattus klauseri (Arizona). I have another shot that's more face-on, but I like this image because you can see the soft hair on the face under the eyes. I also like the low contrast background and his side-eye, about-to-jump pose. 🐙🌿 #Arachtober

Reducing overconsumption of animal products can significantly lower the biodiversity impacts of our diets, according to a study by Laura de Baan in Nature Food. Learn more about the link between food systems and biodiversity loss:

The entire @greenparty.org.uk #HouseofLords team now at Green Party conference. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social and I the two people representing one of the major parties in the House. More Green peers? Entirely within SIr Keir's control. #democracy - it would be a good idea

Another hike on the Welsh coastline. Never been distracted by critters and landscapes so much 🌿

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.

Kemi Badenoch says the Tories would scrap the Climate Change Act. That’s not leadership — it’s like betting big on whale oil lamps as electricity arrives. Britain deserves better than climate denial. #ClimateCrisis #ToryChaos

A huge achievement but still a long way to go: As @mumsforlungs.bsky.social highlight, although London has now lowered nitrogen dioxide pollution levels to UK legal limits, these limits are still 4 times higher than WHO recommendations to protect people's health. 1/6

Today along with @sianberry.bsky.social I've published a report on our constituents' appalling experiences of the leasehold system. From extortionate fees to poor treatment at the hands of management companies, residents are being held to ransom in their own homes. Govt must act fast.

One from a week or so ago. The Evening Primrose is lasting well, and is providing some late season nourishment.

Honestly, the majority of hard working people and their families would benefit if these policies could be implemented. Utilities should never have been privatised! The cash cows did only benefit the shareholders.

An @Age-Uk.bsky.social report shows healthy life expectancy has fallen by 2 years. Good food, warm homes and active and purposeful lives are out of reach for far too many in the UK — and it is a matter of emergency. #PublicHealth | #HealthJustice

Labour promised an end to new drilling. But new powers give Energy Secretary Ed Miliband a backdoor to expand fossil fuels in the North Sea. Loopholes don’t cut carbon. No new oil and gas.

Had a rest, during Fenris' morning constitutional, by a sun-drenched patch of ivy and just watched the Ivy #bees do their thing. Sound up for humming of insects, Jackdaw, and Blue Tits. #Insects #invertebrates #ukwildlife

Small gardens can boost biodiversity just as much as big ones. And when joined together, tiny nature-friendly spaces create wildlife corridors that can benefit hedgehogs and all sorts of other wildlife! Ideas for small gardens: littlegreenspace.org.uk/features/sma...

🗣 "This isn’t about enabling families to fly once a year on holiday. This is about a tiny few, the elite, being able to fly more and more, regardless of the cost to people or planet." @zackpolanski.bsky.social writes for the Independent on Labour's decision to expand Gatwick Airport.

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

Golf courses take up more land than solar farms.

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

Phew, lucky we sorted that out!
