Sometimes you think a script is gonna go a certain way, but then once you’re done you realize you were wrong and need to choose between going forward with something meh or rewriting 80% of the thing you thought was done. Rewriting is always the right choice.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Our swift population is in sharp decline. They've fallen by two thirds since 1995 and were added to the UK's conservation red list in 2020. But we have a simple, low-cost solution. Tell the government that now is the time to act to save our swifts. greens.scot/saveourswifts

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

What would the Green Party do at the Budget? 💡 Cut energy bills by ending profiteering 🚰 Cut water bills by bringing water into public hands 🏠 Give councils the power to control rents 🚸 Lift the two-child benefit cap and extend free school meals to all Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Today in the news: Could the far right be far right?! We found countless examples and testimonies and it is clear that, based on most serious definitions, they are indeed far right and a threat to democracy However, we asked them and they said they are not. Therefore, who is to know?

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Climate change affects EVERYTHING. It’s mad that the issue has become left-coded when it should be just reality-coded

At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab. Things went sideways real fast.

The UK govt: "Hmm, we might have to ban VPNs & a whole range of otehr basic privacy safeguards, to Protect The Children, y'know." Also the UK govt: "It's perfectly fine to let Nazi billionaire & friend of Epstein Peter Thiel trawl through the entire corpus of NHS personal data on your children."

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And that has just rejected #SwiftBricks - a modest amendment to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill that would have ensured a future for beautiful birds for whom a place to nest is a matter of life and death

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Feels like, I dunno, maybe it might be a good plan if we associated this obviously bad and increasingly unpopular idea with the politician whose entire career has been telling us it would be a good idea

“The UK has a system in which a TV channel can pay a political leader almost half a million pounds a year and give him an hour an evening to react to his rivals without breaking a single rule.”

Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK? Our new Byline Times edition investigates what the media won't 👇

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly. I wonder how they got to this editorial decision? Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

Maybe there's something in this Nigel Farage and Nathan Gill Russian bribes story....

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app. It’s hidden under Welsh news. Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times. Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️ 13/14

5. In other countries, we need to press our governments: A. to stand firm against the far right on all fronts (eg don't try to compete with them on cruelty to immigrants), B. to create resilient systems independent of the US, C. radically to reform campaign finance to stop it happening here.

I can't help but think that this is, politically, the perfect time to start talking loudly and frequently about Russia's influence on the Brexit vote.
