France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

First major mistake from Burnham

Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness

I want to offer my condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims of Russia’s latest attacks in the Kyiv region and in Sloviansk. During the strikes, Russia has also destroyed Latvia’s Honorary Consulate. Once again proving its complete disregard for diplomacy.

And real hope comes from the millions of people who know it doesn't have to be this way. Who feel how hard life is right now and how divided our country is but know that we are creating a political movement that will make hope normal again. That's the Green Party

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

One of the greatest ironies of modern times will be that the anti-immigration far-right, by also denying climate-change for so long, will bring about the largest mass migration in the history of our species by making large parts of our planet uninhabitable. #NetZero

EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham was the only British mayor to join a U.K.-U.S. trade dialogue in 2022. His intervention four years ago offers one of the most revealing insights yet into the current British PM’s thinking on international economic relations. 🔗 politico.eu/article/andy...

Extreme heat is killing thousands. Wildfires are burning. In order to secure a liveable future we have to leave all fossil fuels in the ground. Why can't Labour party politicians be honest & direct about that?

Just a few hours later we find out that he's been announced as a Lord - and there's briefings that Andy Burnham will take steps that will create further destruction of our planet. We see once again exactly who Labour are. New face. Same party.

I struggle to imagine, at this particular moment in time, how anybody would want to make our climate issues worse than they are. How many preventable deaths will it take for our politicians to carry out their primary purpose, the safety and security of the people. A fundamentally illogical failure.

New drilling isn't just a catastrophic signal of us stepping back from our climate commitments, it also runs against the geological reality of an almost depleted resource. Our focus should be on cheap, clean fuel for the future - not propping up oil and gas. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Starmer's government is still on X, the platform that promotes hate and racism.

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social

Asked about rising racism and hatred in the UK, Keir Starmer says "the very sad thing is I am not able to say that in the 10 years since Jo Cox's death that things have got better because sadly they have got worse. That's on all of us to fix." Well yes, and your government has done what exactly?

I'm so proud of Yassin. He made Bristol and Britain his home. He has contributed so much as a Green Party Cllr to his city and to the community in Lawrence Hill. Solidarity in the face of this Reform fuelled racist hate. Hope always wins!

A British-Indian friend told me how Reform activists threatened to take away her family's passports if they get into power. The rising tide of racism should worry us all. And the politicians who are stoking it must be condemned.

Our country needs a bold change of direction. Starmer lost the confidence of the country because of his abject failure to challenge the power and wealth of an establishment which has taken for themselves while leaving the vast majority in a cost of living crisis. (1/5)

Well, there goes Keir Starmer. It’s never been clear exactly what he stood for, except for a fixation on cracking down on the protest rights he used to defend when he was a lawyer. We’re not sure what’s coming next – but we’ll be there to hold the government to account.

2025, wind and solar became the bedrock of European energy self-reliance. Norway has said no to nuclear and NATO backs renewables as the solution to energy security. Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days. The direction of travel is clear.

If the Government built some Wind Turbines and Solar Panels and a single Battery Power Station, we could all have practically free clean energy forever. The trillion dollar Fossil Fuel industry and their bribes are all that is preventing it.
