Greens are still green 🌱 Labour MP is baffled by party who stick together and share common goals and values. 2026 and it's the same nonsense about us being divided that I faced in 2012! @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The Sporting Events Bill covers major sporting events like the Olympics. It's a chance to shape where benefit goes (public not private) improve public health, as well as improve the way the world sees us Yesterday was second reading, next up amendments

#FatCatPay #Inequality @highpaycentre.bsky.social makes sure the facts are evident

This is a historic moment: the first time the rights of Nature have entered the UK parliamentary process. The Bill recognises Nature as a legal subject, reorders the hierarchy of rights, creates a duty of care towards Nature and embeds Nature’s rights into UK decision-making across all sectors.

The Westminster bubble is excitedly speculating and gossiping about the new Mandelson messages and what this means for their own careers. We have broken politics. We need a modern, democratic, functional constitution and a different political culture. #Mandleson #Westminster #ChangeEverything

Alan Milburn's report on NEETs has been published today. Why are multinational corporations not providing apprenticeships and entry level jobs that our young people desperately need? #YoungPeople #NEETs

There were over 55,000 suspensions for racist abuse between the 20/21 and 24/25 school years. Our schools are reflecting broader problems in our society. We need to call out racist, homophobic, transphobic and disableist behaviour wherever we see it. #Schools #Bullying #Racism #Homophobia #Ableism

The Ebola outbreak is out of control in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The situation has been exacerbated by slashed foreign aid budgets. We need a world in which we have decent medical services everywhere, until then none of us can be certain of our health security. #Ebola #WHO #HealthSecurity

The fossil fuel lobbyist Tony Blair has commanded the attention of Westminster this morning, with a 5000-word essay about how the government should be working to benefit the fossil fuel industry and IT sector. #TonyBlair #FossilFuels #ClimateChange

Heatwaves are hitting us like never before; the weather this weekend beat the previous UK record for highest temperature in May, and we still aren't preparing to adapt to protect our most vulnerable citizens. #Climatechange #Heatwave

New regulations loosen rules for recording the ownership of trusts and keeping track of transactions from dubious jurisdictions. This is the opposite direction to what the government claims it wants to head in tackling #DirtyMoney and #Enablers

Nuclear weapons - the enormous threat that must not be forgotten. Or left to fester without a treaty between US and Russia

The terrible state of the UK's environment is a significant contributor to the awful rate of public health, and both are related to making people work for "the economy", rather than the economy work for people. And the government doesn't get it

Britain and Europe, #BrexitReality - a short reflection on the #KingsSpeech

The government made big promises on #AnimalWelfare improvements. They were entirely missing from the #KingsSpeech

#KingsSpeech Rather than chasing the unattainable "holy grail" of GDP growth, we need policies that give all a decent life

Politics is changing fast as Greens take over in councils around the country. But #HouseofLords has a long way to go to catch up....

The legacy parties are showing they can't deliver the change the people want

With politics increasingly lining up as Green v Reform, we don't have to wait for PR to get positive change

Young people are backing the Greens because we’re talking about what matters to them - affordable housing, accessible transport, and real action on the climate crisis. The future isn’t pre-written. It’s ours to shape. Vote Green on May 7.

Cabinet or Committee system in local government? I don’t mind what the government prefers. I mind it being imposed on communities up and down the country. This is about real democracy - let communities decide. #Democracy #Devolution

Can you help get Greens elected on May 7? Every leaflet delivered, every door knocked on, every contact with voters really matters. Find an event near you 👉https://greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/national-action-days/

This is about democracy. We’ve seen where top-down decision-making leads - councils set against their own communities. We must reject Clause 59 and defend local people’s right to shape their own areas. #LocalDemocracy #Devolution

The government talks about the women's health strategy of “holding providers’ feet to the financial fire” by taking money away from struggling services. If a service is struggling, it needs support - not cuts. That’s how you make healthcare safer and more accessible. #NHS #HealthCare

People are cutting back, borrowing, even selling possessions to survive. Yet some companies are maintaining profits by passing costs straight onto customers. It doesn’t have to be this way - we need bold action for an economy that works for everyone. #CostOfLiving #FairEconomy

We’ve seen a small step forward - allowing some asylum-seeking doctors to work after 12 months. But in a country facing staff shortages, why are we making people wait at all? Engineers, researchers, carers - everyone has something to offer.

Ten years on from the Paris Agreement, we’ve lost precious time. But the need for action has only become clearer. Let’s rebuild that global momentum — and act now for a safer, fairer future. #ClimateAction #ParisAgreement

We now know a government report warning that biodiversity loss threatens the foundations of our lives was suppressed for months. Preparedness begins with honesty. The public has a right to know the risks — and government must start telling the truth. #TruthMatters #ClimateCrisis

You cannot build resilience on a system that leaves people unable to afford even three days of food, while relying on fragile, centralised supply chains. The Green Party believes resilience means a healthy society. It’s time to build one that works for everyone. #Resilience #GreenPolitics

Voting is just the start - but it’s a powerful one. Today, April 20, is the deadline to register to vote for the upcoming local and Senedd elections. Don’t miss your chance - get registered now and make your voice heard.

Tony Blair’s influence has been continuing to shape government thinking, from enthusiasm for so-called artificial intelligence to key appointments. The government must be transparent about who is shaping decisions and whose interests are being served. #Transparency #Politics

Antimicrobial resistance has been growing into a serious threat, yet political action has fallen short through both lack of understanding and lack of will. The government must face up to this crisis and take the bold action needed to protect our future. #AMR #PublicHealth

#GreenThinking means you have to #Unlearn a lot. And always understand that we have made the anthropocene, created huge vulnerabilities with financialisation, and our #OneHealth vulnerabilities www.routledge.com/Green-Thinki...

The risks of antimicrobial resistance have been increasing, while harmful biocides have continued to be used where they are not needed. The government must act now to reduce these risks and safeguard our future. #AMR #MicroBio26
