Wow! This is how a leader should act! Imagine the difference that could have been made if voices like this had been speaking out for decades.

Only one month to go now - Dennistoun doesn't want a self-proclaimed "rocket" running Scotland. They want to get rent controls done, buses run for people not profit, & see Whitehill Pool back ✊ Glasgow's Green MSPs will fight for that - vote Scottish Greens with your regional ballot on 7th May 💚

🔎 The Greens are in first place, for the first time in history. Incredible. 🟢 GRN: 21.4% (+2.1%) ➡️ REF: 20.9% (-1.5%) 🔵 CON: 20.5% (+0.2%) (Source: LordAPolls)

"Britain should immediately suspend the Israel ambassador, impose sanctions on all Israeli ministers who supported the bill, halt all arms sales to Israel, and stop the use of our military bases for the illegal war in Iran." Hannah Spencer, New Green Party UK MP #illegalwar #genocide

“His people aren’t us… his people are the wealthy elite.” @mothinali.bsky.social cuts through Farage’s ‘man of the people’ act.

We need a windfall tax: all profit from oil & gas companies made because of this war should be invested in solar & wind energy. ⬇️ To lower our energy bills. ⚡️ To create a future where our energy doesn’t depend on pollutants or is controlled by autocrats. 💚 To benefit the people and the climate.

It is in such acts of everyday resistance that power is exposed as empty

Vote Green for military and security sovereignty. We need to align with the EU on defence matters, we can’t trust the US now

A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials. As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation

Ok. If Ed sinks this low, there is no longer any shred of credibility in this Government.

Re-upping this, because it’s sooooooo pertinent now as the Iran crisis starts to grip us vice-like… It’s insane that we remain so fossil-dependent. Whereas the more we ramp up renewables, retrofit and energy-dependence reduction and energy-WASTE reduction, the better off we are:

Quelle belle victoire! Indeed. And so great to see that Parisians have been clear they love a city safe for walking and cycling, filled with people, life and trees rather than motorways filled with traffic. What a legacy 🌳 🎶 🤸🏽@annehidalgo.bsky.social

@choosearandomname.bsky.social I’m not convinced it’s a ‘shift’ as the Times claims - more a shift of gear and acceleration in the same direction. Your bio says ‘hoping for a better world’ . Aren’t we all - but who defines ‘better’, and what means will they use to get there?

Destroying our planet minute by minute. Time for real change. For hope for our future. Join @greenparty.org.uk www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think the latter is already set in concrete. Our job is to ensure a positive outcome for the caring majority and for the living world. That’s why we need to join, support and vote @greenparty.org.uk

We live in Rip Off Britain. We have to lower people's bills and tax wealth fairly. This morning I'll be starting to lay out our vision of how to do this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Can a brown Muslim in British politics ever expect the same basic respect as a white colleague? More and more, I fear the answer is no We're living through a climate of hate, whipped up by Right‑wing influencers chasing clicks & politicians hunting for scapegoats www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

This is good for lots of reasons but not having to file multiple expense reports for £3 each is right up the top of the list for me.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

📌 ICYMI — Reform UK Skip Mandatory By-Election Debate After Nigel Farage Called Defectors Who Avoid the Ballot Box ‘Disgraceful’ Nigel Farage previously said that defectors who refuse to hold by-elections are "disgraceful" and guilty of a "complete insult" to the electorate

It's only mid-March and my far from optimally aligned solar PV panels have powered the washing machine, the dishwasher, everything else in the house all day, filled up my battery for tonight/tomorrow and are now sending excess energy into the grid What's not to love about renewables?

97% of Britons work jobs which force them to pay all the tax they should. 3% of Britons who get 50% of the money can choose to dodge almost all the tax if they want. That 3% of tax dodging wankers is who Reform work for.

My goodness. Watch this astonishing speech.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

The only way Reform UK could win a general election is through our first-past-the-post system. If we had proportional representation, the threat would evaporate. We don't have PR because Starmer has blocked it. This allows him to say: vote Labour or you get Farage. Because it's all he has left.

The Greens plan to put social media giants like X and Facebook on the same legal footing as all other publishers in order to regulate them using defamation laws. This is an important step forward. Everyone should back the move - even opponents of the Greens My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

This isn’t a thread but do follow the sequence of posts following on from Ellie’s.

What is the point in asking questions when there is no need for the minister to answer the question. This is what erodes trust in politicians. This was a sensible and important question from @elliechowns.bsky.social, and it deserved a genuine answer.

Genuinely hard to understand why the right are opposing this. Why would anyone vote to burn down the planet their kids & grandkids will inherit? Why would any sensible Conservative not want independent energy security in an increasingly volatile world? It makes no sense!

🚨 The Green Party is polling at 17%, a HUGE five-point swing from January of this year. 📈 Reform UK continue to fall. 📉 Since Zack Polanski became leader, the Green Party has become a serious force for change. 💚

A guaranteed livable basic income would solve a number of upstream issues that lead to the crises I see every day in classrooms. When families have access the basics (stable housing, food security, adequate clothing, etc) their stress levels decrease and they can focus on other things that matter.

Stumbled across this: The root of "female" has nothing to do with "male". It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man.

Criticising the Green Party for not focusing solely on environmental issues is not the slam-dunk put down some critics think it is. We must save the planet and we can only do so by campaigning for a fairer and more just world. If you think that sounds like socialism, you're absolutely right!
