Uruguay proves renewable energy isn’t a dream — it’s a choice. And it’s entirely doable — if politicians have the guts. A humble professor called Ramón Méndez Galain showed the so-called leaders of Europe and the US how it can be done. 🧵

You know how 2 days ago I was really excited about us having 70,000 members of the Green Party? Well yesterday it was 71,000. And today - yes. It's now 72,000! 🎉💚🎉 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today... Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display. Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains? These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

A racist Reform councillor resigns from North Northamptonshire Council. @josiah.writes.news @harryshukman.bsky.social

Last week Green Party MP Siân Berry released a full log of her first year of official meetings with campaigners and lobbyists, and is challenging all other MPs to do the same. The three other Green MPs are set to follow suit shortly. Berry is particularly urging fossil-fuel Farage to release his...

Crime is roughly half what it was in the 90s. Britain is still one of the safest countries in the developed world. So why does Reform want you to think London’s a hellscape? The Bear provides the answer ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Sharing endorsement videos is always lovely - but even more excitingly, it’s a chance to introduce some of our next generation of Green MPs. Every time I hear Emily Fedorowycz speak, I feel hopeful about the future of the Green Party & our country.

🤔 It's a real mystery why Richard Tice and Reform are going so big on the whole climate science denial thing... 💰 Oh wait, no it's not! They're in the pockets of big oil and gas companies! 🙉 Their denial of reality is straight out of the Donald Trump playbook.

A very good thread. Note, it remains possible that the Courts will refuse to allow Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action. The High Court on Friday held that there was, in effect, a serious question to be asked about the lawfulness of her decision.

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people. You could call it wink murder. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Now, we need your support for the CAN Bill. Please, back it, don’t block it.”

Excellent to see Labour getting rid of the arbitrary deadline to register all historic rights of way. Landowning lobbyists had got the Tories to put in a deadline of 2031 to register 49,000 miles of lost paths. Next step: a right of responsible access, please! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My first comment piece in @theguardian.com is on a topic very close to my heart; the threat that the #ClimateCrisis poses to my local community in South Wales. Here's a thread with a few extra thoughts from me 🧵

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill

It is worth regularly revisiting this exchange between @aoc.bsky.social and scientists working for Exxon, who in 1982 accurately predicted global warming between 1977 and 2003, contradicting the fossil fuel company's decades-long climate denial.

Remember that footage of gamekeepers killing a Hen Harrier on a grouse moor? Seen pictures of moors being set alight in recent weeks? It’s time to ban driven grouse shooting. Please sign @wildjustice.bsky.social’s petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

We need to reduce waste. It does not have to mean have less, it means have better, have good things, that you can repair and don't have to buy again and again. #RightToRepair #CircularEconomy Terry Pratchett knew the score.

Brilliant to be at the annual conference of @thegreenparty.bsky.social councillors and to have such a HUGE turnout - it grows exponentially every year. There are now over 800 Green councillors! Making a difference near you 💚

@laurieneedham.bsky.social I spy your Geoff 💚👏
