Did you guys know that a widely used transportation technology is encouraging Americans to prioritize speed and convenience over physical activity, with grave consequences for public health? It's called an e-scooter and it's time to finally do something about it.

"National security is threatened by dependency on fossil fuels. Sticking with fossil fuels through to 2050 costs double what transitioning off them would." Green Party Deputy Leader, Rachel Millward, takes on Reform's climate denial at the Oxford Union.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Our message to the new Prime Minister. What we’re asking for isn’t radical - a decent job, somewhere to live, places to meet our friends, a safe climate. We deserve a future we can look forward to. And we're getting organised to win it. Join us.

Remember when Starmer was elected and immediately tripped over his own dick with the winter fuel debacle? Well this is that. Cheers Labour. Never change.

It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.

London leads by example, matching ambition with action on air pollution, public transport investment & supporting young people. We’ve been recognised with the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize 2026. This award belongs to the communities, businesses & organisations building a better London for everyone.

Almost like we have a 2-tier media system…

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister. It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage. Others seem to be met with silence.

It’s good — essential even — to marginalize wrong and bad ideas. The way we get out of this is by pointing out how stupid and evil these inbred troglodytes are, not by feeding their ass-backwards superiority complex.

Vote for Vivian Westward, the largest individual donor to the Green Party 💃💚

On the new SubwayTakes, Kareem Rahma and leader of the UK Green Party, Zack Polanski, discuss making dark money in politics more visible by giving a nod to one of George Carlin's best takes. If only we could make this a reality! #SheShed

The media absolutely are scraping the barrel with Zack Polanski. There's a basic iron role of British politics: The left are not legitimate political actors - and their figureheads must be destroyed.

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this. At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government. Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Trump is a bully and a blackmailer, and he has made absolutely no plan for what an exit strategy looks like. When he asks for our help we should say: Donald, ‘you broke it, you fix it.’” Caroline Lucas speaking on the Iran war on #BBCQT.

"Austerity is a false economy. If you don't invest in young people, if you burden them with student debt rather than public investment, that's why we get the kind of problems we've got." Zack Polanski on why investing in young people matters.
