We’ve sent an open letter to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to tell him that the the government must act urgently to prevent increasing numbers of women being driven into sex work by poverty and financial need. (1/6)

We were pleased to speak to Lauren recently for this important article on how the criminalisation of sex workers traps them in sex work, giving them a criminal record which makes it much more difficult to get another job. The government must take urgent action to ban prostitutes’ cautions.

We screened this film in London last year, and one of the attendees (works in the New Economy movement) told me it was the one thing that gave him hope all year. Go see it!

As usual lots more anti fascists in Islington to oppose a far right demonstration.

The right always claim to be for free speech, when really they want their speech to be free of consequences, then ban speech they don't like. Yes, Labour is a right-wing party in this. While we Greens, the only major left-wing party, are actually standing up for free speech and Palestinians.

Good work @newstatesman.com, you appear to have completely forgotten publishing this 2022 article 🙃 www.newstatesman.com/politics/eco... @iipp-ucl.bsky.social

It’s absolutely outrageous that @ameliagentleman.bsky.social has written this article and hasn’t included a single word from sex worker-led organisations or outreach charities that work with sex workers who oppose these proposals. Where is the balance? Where are the voices of actual sex workers?

i somehow only just now learned that Zohran Mamdani made a rap song and recorded a music video... AND ITS A BOP??!? youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE?...

Every western country has absurd news bias that favors the ruling classes and yet Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro, and Sanchez were able to build leftist majorities. We don't need media hegemony to win and it may even be harmful to have our every delusion verified that way.

We're busy campaigning across Islington, so join us: 🚪😀 Door knocking - Highbury, Clerkenwell, Tufnell Park, & Tollington ✍️ Leafletting in Tollington, June 7 ☎️ Phone banking volunteers, June 11 (evening) Get involved! You can sign up for all events on islington.greenparty.org.uk/events-calen...

free mass public transit should be a climate policy supported by anyone who claims to care about the problem reduce miles driven by those most in need and you reduce emissions while also reducing income inequality

Yesterday I spoke with Alison McGovern MP & Josh Fenton-Glynn MP about child poverty as part of the Single-Parent Families APPG @gingerbreadcharity.bsky.social Key points : > Child maintenance is not fit for purpose and perpetuates harm > Child poverty increase is a result of policy decisions

The “both sides”: Side 1 - Nordic Model supporters Side 2 - sex workers, every sex worker-led org around the world, health and HIV charities, trade unions, sex worker outreach orgs, several anti-trafficking orgs, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the WHO, UNAIDS, and on and on

If you ever ever go anywhere near Camden high street please take 4m out of your day to tell the council how much you like the pedestrianisation trial 🙏

Today's march in London was huge! #FreePalestine

To be clear. The Green Party of England & Wales: 🗳 Normally holds leadership elections every 2 years ➡️ Don't have to have co-leaders 👥 ...if there is 1 leader, there will be 2 deputies 💚 1 of 3 leadership posts has to be someone who identifies as women/non-binary 👍Leader doesn't have to be an MP.

It's an honour to hold elected office for the last 4 years & to continue this with our 4 new MPs for the last 10 months. I'm ambitious about taking on a failing Labour Party and sending many more Green MPs to Parliament. Join our campaign at backzack.com

Deep sea mining is honestly a terrifying prospect - we know so little of the impact that dredging the sea floor at this depth will have to entire ecosystems on which the whole food web depends. Sign this petition to tell the UK government to stop it before it starts act.gp/3FvLdI9

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right. Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist. Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

If you now work under a reform run council and are not in a union, join one now! It could be a rocky few years for workers. Stronger together ✊ www.tuc.org.uk/join-a-union

This one is for every Green candidate, agent, campaign organiser, canvasser, leafleter, voter and supporter: Thank you! 💚 1/

The trick is to raise everyone’s living standards. That’s the trick. There will always be a sub-section of people who want immigration cut, and asylum to be 0. It’s never going to happen on an island nation. What works is raising standards so that subsection doesn’t grow like the cancer it is.

Just look at this graph ….

Today, millions of people will take part in local elections knowing that the results won't reflect what their community wants. We'll end up with mayors supported by a third of their constituents and councils where many voices aren't heard. FPTP is such an absurd system. It's time to replace it.

The London by-election wins just keep on coming! Join us and help us sweep the board in May 2026 💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

A principled stance by Easton Cowgirls A reminder that the FA cannot stop people and teams playing with and against who they want, and that if a critical mass of teams follow their example, then the FA's power to discriminate and abuse is significantly undermined #BoycottTheFA

Solidarity with all trans people in sport, especially trans women who are the target of this latest outrage. The FA's decision is human rights-violating, anti-scientific bullshit.

This is a shameful decision - my club and the amateur league we're part of are now going to abandon the FA so our trans friends can continue to play.

Wrote about this many years ago on Twitter, but your actual goal should be 5 trains/buses an hour - so a 12 minute interval. This breaks a couple of important psychological barriers for people, based on research by TfL (London's transport operator). Will explain. 🧵 /1

This is spot on. The way to reduce waiting lists is to fund NHS services properly, pay NHS workers properly, and provide paid training opportunities to get more workers where needed. Come learn about how in London in June at modernmoneylab.org.uk/events/

I think it's unacceptable to breach human rights obligations. Read & support the @goodlawproject.bsky.social challenge 👇 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

I LOVE this endorsement from the one and only Green cllr @drdianneregisford.bsky.social and Jason. Thank you both! 💚

@bristolgreenparty.bsky.social's continued electoral successes in recent years mean there is really good chance that we could get a first @greenparty.org.uk Combined Authority Mayor elected this May!

See you in London on June 22nd. www.tiktok.com/@stevenhail6...

Love this article where @theguardian.com followed me doorknocking! "People are going to vote for change & it remains to be seen whether they vote for the positive message @greenparty.org.uk is giving or if they will vote for Reform & its negative message." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We’re about to start sharing examples of MPs who have financial links to the private healthcare sector… please follow @everydoctor.org.uk 💥💙🚨

“How Does Paris Stay Paris? By Pouring Billions Into Public Housing.” “1/4 of residents in the French capital live in government-owned housing, part of an aggressive plan to keep lower-income Parisians— & their businesses— in the city.” Paris innovation isn’t just about people-places & bike-lanes.

I like to see things like this. What Mosler/Kelton/Wray/Mitchell and others did for me, I am delighted to have been able to do for a few others. Bring a friend along in London in June and maybe we can spread the word a bit further. The UK needs it. modernmoneylab.org.uk/events/

EHRC issuing fantasy “guidance” at 10pm on a Friday night. 🤔 Unworkable. And all the more important that people running institutions, organisations and businesses keep their heads, reassure trans and non binary people they are welcome and keep on being inclusive. 🏳️‍⚧️ rights are human rights.

The US rep to the IEA said that "pursuing offshore wind power would make countries reliant on China." It's instructive to explore this sort of claim, in particular for what it reveals about those claiming it. Two points:🧵

"We don't have to accept this interpretation of what gender is or isn't, and we absolutely can and should resist it." 💪🏼 🏳️‍⚧️ 🔥

In this toxic culture war, so many people are looking for hope. We want the Green Party to solidly be leading that fight. #transwomenarewomen #transrightsarehumanrights #greenparty

this Toni Morrison quote is so good, and i think it applies not just to racism racism is just a way to dehumanize people, and so i think this quote applies to all the ways people are dehumanized are autistic people human? yes, fuck you for asking. are trans people human? yes, fuck you for asking.

If you're in London early May, this will be 🔥
