Using Israel as an argument against proportional representation is misleading. Its electoral system is unusual, with no local constituencies or vote for individual candidates. PR isn’t one system. We can have fairer elections and strong local representation. @electoralreform.bsky.social 👇

The working class are the wealth creators, by making things and providing services. The people who own businesses make profit. That's not wealth creation. Banks and government create money not businesses. Giving them tax breaks etc just funnels that money out of the economy.

Empty promises on climate change from Labour. When it comes to fossil fuels, he’s Andy Burn ‘em…
Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

If closing surely the least expensive radio channel the BBC has (run by a tiny number of people, broadcasting the work of mainly dead people), bothers you, then why not sign this petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...
Not sure how much money closing Radio 4 extra will save. I am happy to forgo my £22 a year from repeat fees if that helps.
Labour cynically waited until after the Holborn & St Pancras by-election before announcing this. If The Green Party had won there, the Government may well have been forced to reconsider this appalling decision. Don't be fooled by Andy Burnham's words - judge him by his actions. Vote Green!
Jackdaw is climate vandalism. Labour are putting Shell's profits before people and planet.

This is truly pathetic from Ministers. Labour’s claim to more than 27 new Jackdaw jobs doesn’t hold up. The green economy is >£100bn a year and growing fast. There is no future in fossil fuels. The Government knows this, but chooses profit for Shell over protecting our climate.

When will this Labour Government stop tinkering? Thames Water is a busted flush. It's worthless. Cheer up the nation. Nationalise it now. Not a penny compensation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Labour Government are still continuing to arm a genocide. They're still locking up pensioners who hold up cardboard signs. And Palestinians are still being murdered every single day. The Green Party will always unapologetically speak the truth. youtu.be/BKC9mSBFpBA?...

"Do you think Israel has a right to exist?" @zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on. No state has a right to exist. Did Rhodesia? Does the UK? And this was🎯"The status quo right now is a one state apartheid state where Palestinians do not have the same freedom as Israelis, & that's racist"

Excellent from Sheffield Green Party pointing out reservations working with Labour whilst their government arms a genocide. If Labour chooses to destabilise local councils because they want to play party politics - then they can own the consequences for the city. 👏🏼
Sheffield will not be dictated to by London. We stand firm. We stand united. We stand for justice, equality & human rights for ALL. 💚🇵🇸 Read Green Group Leader Cllr @angelaargenzio.bsky.social's open letter 👇 sheffieldgreenparty.org.uk/2026/10/16/s...
The Labour Government still refuses to condemn Israel’s actions as genocide. Perhaps the Green Party should refuse to work with Labour until they change their position…
No one who has seen and heard these accounts can ever unsee them. The absolute, inhumane, psychopathic barbarism of the people making these decisions beggars belief. #Gazagenocide www.theguardian.com/film/video/2...

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing
Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

If @zackpolanski.bsky.social wins in Holborn & St Pancras on Thursday, words won’t be enough for Burnham. He’ll have to take ACTION on workers’ rights, ecology, and stand up to landlords, the Israeli government & the oil & gas lobby. If I can travel from Shetland to join the campaign, so can you!
