A brilliant thread 👇

It baffles me that this doesn't get more coverage. Bin workers have been on strike in Birmingham for *A YEAR.* I don't understand why this hasn't been dealt with. They are one of the most essential services, and will be experiencing extreme poverty by now.

“Reform offers the politics of hate & division…People deserve better than the worst….People deserve good - people deserve excellent representation - that’s how we make hope normal again” Yes @zackpolanski.bsky.social! 🔥🔥🔥

We promised to throw the kitchen sink at this election. Well we've definitely voted for the right candidate with the skills for the job! Hannah & the Greens are taking the fight to Reform. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

Delighted to announce Hannah Spencer as our candidate today. This race is between the Green Party and Reform. Hear from Hannah here 👇🏼 www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/people...

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero 1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system 2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free 3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us" 4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous 5) That's it! 1/10

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Under the weather" is a funny way to spell "chicken"

It's time to stop subservience to Donald Trump. And that starts with questions about how to stop US bases on UK soil and maintain our national security. www.lbc.co.uk/article/subs...

Absolutely disgraceful 👇 - Labour's manifesto promised NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded" Openly now ripping off patients for generations to come Even the Conservative government said "goodbye to PFI" Outrageous, unjustifiable, wrong

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Well, this is pretty terrifying. The Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph. One massive consolidated right-wing media empire controlled by off-shore interests at a critical moment in global politics. What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Why is the BBC apologising for one of its contributors making this entirely accurate description of Robert Jenrick and his actions? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My goodness this is so revolting.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street. This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history. No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

"A stain on humanity, which will endure for generations."

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

A mum was pushed into a canal by a man walking his dog as she cycled to work. This didn’t happen in a vacuum; it’s the result of years of anti-cyclist messaging that treats people on bikes as fair game. We say we want more people to cycle, but ignore what it’s like for the people already doing it.

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable. For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

This is ironic — we’ve been talking for a long time about how “short trips” make up a LOT of traffic in cities & have BIG implications for pollution and GHG emissions. So it’s a big opportunity to convert such trips to walking or biking trips. But guess what — they’re ALSO REALLY BAD FOR YOUR CAR.

"Progressives – including Greens – shouldn’t fear hatred of our politics any more than we should worry about anger at our economic system, rage at rising bills, or horror at genocide in Gaza. We should express that collective fury, and channel it" www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

Trump govt cancels $500m in mRNA vaccine development in the US. Vaccine sceptic Health Secretary claims"mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses". Over 1.2m Americans died from COVID-19. How many next time!

BBC bias laid bare…..

The Home Secretary says “This isn’t about Palestine.” But everyone can see the truth. They’re arming a genocide and criminalising those who speak out. This is how fascism begins. We must stand up. For Palestine. For all our rights. For democracy.

Corporate Welfare Chancellor’s attempt to intervene in car finance scandal branded disgraceful Ahead of the Supreme Court judgement, Reeves wanted court to consider economic consequences - rejected. She considered retrospective law to reverse judgement. Gives corporations licence to abuse people

Only 29% would back Brexit now

It’s been obvious for some time that Musk’s platform is deliberately & dangerously hideous. There is nothing to stop politicians, up to & including the government, removing themselves from it entirely. Their every utterance would still be reported, regardless of how it entered the public space.

“Inconvenience is the price of community” Living together means compromise: waiting, yielding, helping. Motonormativity flips this, teaching us that speed and personal convenience outrank care for others.

Miles & miles of maize but 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 insect—in 2 days of 🚴‍♀️🚴in Brittany. Maize is mainly 🐄 feed. Linked to high pesticide use—and damaging soil erosion. Governments must be honest about the hidden costs of meat. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social warned about maize a decade ago 👇

The Hamas attack on October 7 was a horrendous crime against humanity. But the only relationship between it and the even greater crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza today is that it is being used as an excuse for what certain Israeli ministers and generals have long wanted to do.

Leveraging London's streets as one of its most valuable assets, Strand Aldwych transforms one of Westminster's busiest and most polluted corridors into a vibrant and verdant destination. By filtering out through traffic, 7000 m² of roadway is reclaimed into an accessible and welcoming public space.🧵

By supporting the expansion of Heathrow Airport and spreading outright lies about decarbonising flying, Labour has again capitulated to lobbyists. This is its defining characteristic: doing whatever powerful lobbyists ask, regardless of the social, environmental and even political costs.

This slope on this chart is INSANE

So so good.

The National Insurance Fund Account has a surplus of £86.4bn. Plenty of resources to increase pensions, benefits, compensate the 1950s women. Govts raided it to fund NIC cuts for the rich, NIC holidays in freeports, and general tax cuts for the rich.

78% of Britons considering voting Green support the party forming pacts with similarly-minded parties, but which do they feel fit the bill? New Corbyn-led party: 45% of those supporting pacts Lib Dems: 44% Labour: 23% Plaid: 12% SNP: 11% Reform UK: 2% Conservatives: 1% yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Stunning: 170.000 nurses participated in a consultation of @rcn.org.uk on the government pay offer for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and 9️⃣ out of 10 nurses ❌ Not enough Members UNITE, GMB, RCM (midwives) said no Nurses and all health staff deserve decent pay #solidarity @epsu.bsky.social
