The Green Party seem to be the only party taking seriously the collapsing food system in the UK. Fair prices for farmers, stronger protection for consumers, action when essential food prices surge, plus a strategic reserve to improve resilience. greenparty.org.uk/2026/10/03/g...

First Serbia, and now an even more seismic election result for the geopolitics of now. Hard to overstate how important Brazil bucking the far right trend in Latin America is - also a huge blow to Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

Take a chance! Hope for surprises. Absolutely fabulous performance of The Crucible at Mary Wallace in Twickenham. Not too late to experience it yourself. www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la...

Reform UK's Suella Braverman claims massive taxpayer-funded water bill at home equal to 18 baths a day Claim to have used 1,504 litres of water daily at her £1.2million four-bedroom pad in a five-month period. Reform have promised benefit cuts for the disabled, old, sick, poor, unfortunate.

Families on their annual holiday shouldn’t pay the same rate of tax as wealthy and business travellers who fly on a weekly basis. Scottish Greens would tax the super-rich frequent flyers who are wrecking our climate.

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

True!

Because it is absolutely vital that we protect murderous, autocratic, climate-denying, petrostates www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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...

Thames Water line up former Labour minister John Hutton as chairman, as it tries to win over the govt. Hutton left the govt after the expenses and lobbying scandals. Now pursued by TW to fix things politically, TW is financially, environmentally bankrupt.

This will be a game changer if it's confirmed. Upfront costs are the biggest barrier to people getting solar (the article says the loans will cover PV) Our household has saved nearly £500 from May to October since having solar installed. It's the most effective bill reduction measure out there.

Insulating Britain’s homes and investing in heat pumps would do more to cut the cost of living, create jobs and boost the UK’s economy than drilling for new oil @e3g.bsky.social

Heat pumps & insulation would cut living costs more than new oil fields Isn't it strange how Andy Burnham's "pragmatic" approach to the North Sea involves doing exactly what fossil fuel lobbyists want? No party is serious about dealing with the cost of living unless they also tackle climate change

The upcoming budget must put ordinary people’s interests before those of fossil fuel shareholders. Make polluters pay.

So many farmers have signalled their willingness to transition to more sustainable farming methods if the government supports them to do so - yet once again the rug has been pulled out from under them. Govt must step up on supporting the SFI and nature-friendly farming.

Last month, Andy Burnham made an announcement that could end up transforming British politics. Whichever party we vote for (and we're a politically diverse bunch!), we all agree: he deserves a nice cold pint for this. Cheers, Andy! Now let's make it happen.🍻

63% of voters back wealth tax for mega-rich. Wealth tax can be: Tax on accumulated wealth Higher rates on dividends & capital gains Mansion tax Investment income surcharge Cap tax relief on pension contributions by the mega rich What will Chancellor get-off his bended-knees?

the caption that tells you everything you need to know

Deloitte in Cyprus helped in falsifying documents to hide Roman Abramovich's wealth and evade tax, Leaked documents show transactions backdated and tailored. Assets spirited away to BVI. Big four accounting firms advise UK govts, get public contracts, routinely implicated in scandals.

These are what Native Americans look like. If you don't look like that YOU are an Immigrant.

Does this beggar belief? No. It is no surprise whatsoever The fossil fuel sector has been suppressing the truth for 3/4 of a century www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To have a shot at meeting our climate targets, "we can't have any new oil and gas." Funding new fossil fuels is "irresponsible and short-sighted." These aren't my words - they're past statements from our current Energy Secretary. So I asked her - what's changed?

NEW: Prime Minister Andy Burnham finally breaks a decade of UK govt silence…& reveals there was ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote. 1/

Trump sacrifices Ukraine as it is too ‘tough’ for Americans to pay equivalent to £1.25 per litre of diesel. When will European leaders start to see any of his actions in the lens as Trump being a Putin puppet? #Ukraine

By August, some livestock farmers were already feeding their animals the supplies they'd put aside for winter. After five heatwaves and months of drought, the consequences for our food supply are becoming impossible to ignore. Martin Lines explains

I've written to the govt about a concern causing real frustration across North Herefordshire: the practice of "farmwashing," where supermarkets use misleading marketing to suggest produce comes from British family farms - when it has actually come from overseas.

To be clear I’m not calling on Zack to step down. Today he's indicated he shares some of my concerns on the Zionism motion & I welcome that. Now the party needs to come together to urgently make our processes more robust & inclusive & take action to show Jewish members our party is safe for them

Guess it could happened maybe even within a year after California separating from US

This is a message for @andyburnham.bsky.social

Change doesn’t happen because those in power suddenly decide to be bolder - it happens when. Greens push them to be better. And on climate, that couldn’t be more urgent. Vote Green to keep fossil fuels in the ground, where they belong

So pleased to hear this confirmed in the PM’s speech. Big congrats to @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and all who’ve campaigned for it! At last we have a chance to restore trust in our politics with a system where “everyone’s views count and everyone’s vote matters” 👏👏👏

🔴 Andy Burnham’s Pledge for Electoral Reform: What We Know So Far After years of pressure from campaigners, a Labour Prime Minister has now committed to overhauling Westminster’s First Past the Post voting system bylinetimes.com/2026/09/29/a...

Have been listening to some smart people over the past few days on how Labour can beat Reform. Here are a few things they said 👇🏻

"Andy Burnham is expected to announce that he will push ahead with plans for electoral reform in his first conference speech as Labour leader" "One option open to Burnham is a new National Commission for Electoral Reform, an idea he endorsed at last year’s party conference" 🌹 #Labour4PR

Spot on from @johnharris1969.bsky.social - “comfy, cosy, simple two-party politics” is over. Trying to shoehorn the complexity of our society & economy into 2 parties through our ludicrous voting system simply won’t work. Burnham says he still supports PR - so where’s the action?

Read in FT about North Korea hacked US crypto exchange to the value of $350 million. And it is reported like ‘normal’ — Don’t understand crypto. Still find it weird. And who just lost $350 million?!?

BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside Andy Burnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

BREAKING: Massive Attack’s Rob Del Naja arrested under the UK Terrorism Act outside Labour Party conference venue. The legendary musician was arrested after peacefully holding “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on a paper sign on the eve of Labour’s conference.

Via Labour for a New Democracy: Changing Britain’s voting system is among the most popular issues tabled for debate at this year’s Labour conference by local branches "At least three dozen Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs) have submitted motions on the subject" - the most in three years apparently

It’s an absolute national disgrace that the government isn’t properly supporting our farmers. For the sake of food security, and our national security, farmers need our help to adapt to climate breakdown and to change to more sustainable ways of farming. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
