"Sono i poveri, anziani e giovani, che vivono in appartamenti in soffitta, che vivono in spazi che raggiungono i 40 e persino temperature più elevate, e devono far fronte a tutto questo". Lo ha detto Ciarán Cuffe co-presidente del Partito Verde Europeo in un'intervista. www.la7.it/camera-con-v...

“The people’s voice has been heard. Now, Europe must stand with the people of Serbia.” europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

🚨BREAKING: Good news from Serbia: seems the students have won, and the autocrats, including Aleksandar Vučić have just been voted out!

Braved the rain to catch this exhibition on Ireland's housing emergency. A tour-de-force from Professor Rob Kitchin and the European Research Council-funded Data Stories project at Maynooth University. fictions-frictions-evictions.ie

Staggering numbers of people died from extreme heat in Europe this summer. Now is the time to look ahead and protect our future. europeangreens.eu/news/50000-l...

Yup, I’m with this.

Speaking of Whole Life Carbon, I spotted this Citroën 2CV still hanging in there on Rue Maes in Ixelles, that’s some staying power!

Got the opportunity to talk about buildings that are better for the planet today, at the World Green Building Council’s #IndicateLife gathering in Brussels. And, got to hear how countries, including Iceland (!) are considering Whole Life Carbon in their plans.

Nice. A Dublin-born campaigner for housing, mental health, public safety and retro-fitting has just been elected as Vancouver Mayor. petefry.ca

My summer holidays? I went for a bike-ride, a long bike ride across America. Here’s a piece I penned for the Irish Independent: bit.ly/CufTA26

Thank you Stoneybatter, and amazing volunteers Brian, Courtney, Jelena and Mabel from #OpenHouseDublin for all your help today. We had a blast on our walking tour in the ☀️☀️☀️

Fake flying cars and simultaneously hobbling Ukraine’s ability to defend itself? Not a good look Elon.

We need more people living on and around O'Connell Street: A clear take-away from Robert Watt of the Dublin City Regeneration Authority at last night's lively discussion in the wonderful Oman Antiques building on Capel Street openhousedublin.com/locations/du...

My USA absentee ballot for New York arrived. Some interesting propositions on the ballot for speeding up street safety and public space projects.

In Paris the other day, walking between Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est. Blown away by the number of cyclists, and the decent infrastructure.

Cheaper Russian diesel for the USA? It will be paid for with the lives of Ukrainian children, a disgusting lifeline for Putin from the US President. aje.news/vapcb4

Student protests in Strasbourg, France this week. Here’s hoping they lead to less inequality in education, school buildings fit for purpose, and teaching reforms.

Snuff movies for the masses: US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth’s latest move is inhumane, like something you’d read about in Iran. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In Dublin this evening? Mark Graham and Ellie O'Byrne; the Spokeyokes duo are chatting about their 31,000 km. round-the-world bike trip tonight at 6. Might see you there. spokeyokes.substack.com

Big congratulations to @nicustefanuta.bsky.social MEP and @terryreintke.bsky.social MEP on their election, and re-election as @greens-efa.eu co-presidents in the European Parliament last night in Strasbourg. @europeangreens.eu Greens will work closely with you in the months ahead.

Budget Day in Ireland. Seems like greyhound racing did well: sadly can't say the same for climate action.

Attractive older terraced housing in Brighton, close to where we debated the housing crisis. We need to: -increase supply -control rents -limit financialisation -tackle under-occupation

"Real Hope. Real Change." Good to be in Brighton at the @GreenParty.org.uk of England and Wales Conference, connecting with friends both old and new like @EllieChowns.bsky.social MP and Cllr. Chante Johnson.

Good morning Brussels! Headed to the @GreenParty.org.uk conference in Brighton via London. Looking forward to it.

Brexit has done more harm than good to the UK. With some positive words from Andy Burnham on Europe, everything is possible, and we’d love to have you back. europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

Plans for the streets around Dublin's Fruit and Vegetable Markets look good, though I suspect a few bollards may be required. Have your say: engage.dublincity.ie/en-IE/projec...

With fuel prices soaring, now is not the time to give in to the car lobby by postponing the phase-out of diesel and petrol car production. www.politico.eu/article/comm...

A shout-out to @dublincitylibs.bsky.social who provide super services in their physical libraries, but also through apps that allow you to read publications as varied as TheAge and Ireland’s Own online: Linktr.ee/DublinCityLibraries

Passing through London on a #Sailrail trip to a European Greens Committee meeting in Brussels. Picked up a leaflet for @ZackPolanski.bsky.social campaign for @GreenParty.org.uk in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election. Better housing, climate action, Gaza justice, what’s not to like?

Stoneybatter: a place called home. As part of #OpenHouseDublin2026 I’ll be leading a walk through the neighbourhood on Sunday 18th October. Do join me, you can book here: openhousedublin.com/locations/st...

Enjoyed speaking at Ireland’s Construction #ZEBsummit2026 in the RDS earlier. Some impressive projects underway, but a few alarm bells: -No sign of our National Building Renovation Plan -Ministerial attacks on Planning Regulator -One-off housing locking in car dependency #EPBD

Dear progressiefned.bsky.social members, You are choosing your EU family this week, so we wanted to introduce ourselves: -We are radical realists. -We put people & nature first. -We believe the future is Green. Join us. europeangreens.eu/de-toekomst-...

Sound and sight of swans taking off from Dublin's Royal Canal is quite something. Sound ON 🔊

Nice news from the Netherlands: Youth wing of Progressief Nederland (PRO) @protestpolitiek.bsky.social, the new party formed through the merger of PvdA (PES) and GroenLinks @europeangreens.eu will join the young European Greens @fyeg.org as full members 💚 europeangreens.eu/news/dutch-s...

Fairer fares? Absolutely! That’s why Greens, SocDems, Labour and People Before Profit were at Dáil Éireann today, calling on Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien to reverse the proposed 15% increase in public transport fares in #Budget2027. Madness!

Nice, The votes have been counted. Sweden has voted for change: to reduce inequalities and take the climate crisis seriously. europeangreens.eu/news/sweden-...

The cost-of-living crisis is being exacerbated by Europe’s dependency on imported fossil fuels. The faster we shift towards renewables the sooner citizens will feel the benefits. #SOTEU2026 europeangreens.eu/news/reactio...

Nail-bitingly close election in Sweden, it will take days for the final result. The increase in votes for our @EuropeanGreens.eu member party Miljöpartiet de Gröna could make the difference between inclusive policies or the politics of fear.

Not cool: that's why 40,000 of us marched in Amsterdam today; for climate justice, less delays and an end to back-sliding on action for climate. #klimaatmars

So plug-in hybrids emit six times, on average, what official tests claim. A good argument for choosing 100% electric, if you have to drive. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/plu...

Frank McDonald: a campaigning journalist for more livable cities. A life well lived, he will be missed. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

In Government the Greens cut average fares by 20% and slashed prices by 50% for young adults. Don't hike prices in a cost of living crisis Minister Darragh O'Brien.

A cost of living crisis, and the Irish Government increases bus fares to subsidise petrol and diesel for motorists? You got to be joking! www.greenparty.ie/news/greens-...
