Green cllr Bernadette Chelvanayagam argues for a household choosing between food, heating & other essentials, the language of ‘preparedness’ ignores deep inequalities.

❗The Govt’s “Be Ready” campaign asks households to prepare for 3 days of disruption. 🥫Advice includes keeping a small supply of food & bottled water at home. 1/2

“We should be making sure that people who make a living by going out to work aren't paying effectively a higher rate of tax than people who get their income from sitting on assets.” Ellie Chowns responds to reports that John Healey has ruled out equalising capital gains tax ahead of the Budget.

With roaring support from a packed crowd, Macklemore launches his Free Palestine Tour in Dublin, Ireland, just over a month after he was controversially dropped as Ed Sheeran’s supporting act on his Loop Tour.

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Millions without power in the East as Sudan's warring sides trade drone strikes.

If the BBC treated the Green Party as they do Reform, and Reform as they do the Greens, Reform would be on 10% and the Greens 20%

People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

Believe it or not, this is the same party that built the NHS, the welfare state and a million council homes from the rumble of World War 2. Embarrassing.

And the only media I can see covering it is the National www.thenational.scot/news/2667202...

War Criminal Israel should not even be IN Palestine. Never mind deciding who can and can't enter and abducting anyone they feel like.

Green MSP Kate Nevens and SNP MP Lara Bird have been kidnapped by Israel for trying to enter Palestine. The Prime Minister should be demanding their immediate release.

🚨 Andy Burnham must say no to the Rosebank oilfield. 🟢 Instead, he should invest in energy efficiency measures that protect the environment, bring down bills and create good green jobs.

2 giant wins in 24 hours for progressives everywhere. The far-right just received a thrashing in both Brazil and Serbia. Lula's dramatic victory brings hope, not just for Brazil but for environmentalists worldwide in the battle against climate change. @greenparty.org.uk @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The budget must be one that invests in our services, communities, and lives – and starts undoing the UK's extreme inequality by taxing the super rich. No half measures! Tax wealth, freeze rents, and nationalise the water companies now!

People power. 🇧🇷🇷🇸 Real hope. Real change.

Mike Tapp is particularly stupid, but It would be interesting to know how ignorant most other Labour MPs are about Palestine and the Palestinian people! youtu.be/EBTpaL7ut4Y?...

Europe are making alternative security arrangements that do not involve support from the USA. The message is we do not need Trump.

Labour doubling down on the anti-semitism of conflating anti-semitism and anti-zionism... and looking really bad for doing so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpKv...

📢 Another pre-budget reminder that the UK has become a land of Ferraris and Foodbanks. The money exists to improve life for the vast majority - it's just that it's currently hoarded in the greedy grasping hands of a few. The budget needs to set a course to change this... #TaxTheRich #EndBillionaires

As is normal practice for mainstream media, they fabricate “news” which is not news but just something their oligarch owners would *like* to be true but isn’t. Performative dishonesty.

No lies detected

If you’re part of the queer communities & in any way supported ANY of the “LGB without the T” groups, accompanying rhetoric or associated Labour government policies, you’re a TURKEY who hasn’t just voted for Xmas but campaigned for it, swallowed the stuffing, gravy, roast potatoes & Brussels sprouts

@zackpolanski.bsky.social and Lula both have one thing in common (apart from great policies to protect the planet and promote social justice that is). They have both had their accounts on Meta/Facebook suspended during elections. Politicians being silenced by Zuckerberg are the best politicians.

The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it. After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds. The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism. Here's to hope ✊

This is the "opposition" by the way Zionism is a cancer #ZionismIsRacism

Planting a tree means nothing if it dies a week later. Local authority tree planting is down 45%, and the trees we do plant are heavily imported, bringing biosecurity risks with them. @nationaltrust.org.uk #EcoSky #TreePlanting #GrownInBritain

Fantastic result! Another corrupt fascist defeated!

Azeez Al-Shaair doesn't give up. So far, he has been fined over $23,000 for wearing anti-genocide eye-black. At east 5 of these patches honour murdered little girls in Gaza. #Don'tStopTalkingAboutPalestine! Talk about HIND RAJAB WAFAA AKILA LANA & BANA AHMED AMAL ABU KHATER FATIMA AL-BAYOOK

Lula wins Brazil elections over the fascist Bolsonaro! Second piece of good news to celebrate after Serbia election. Hooray!!! 🥳

Reject the Board of Deputies The Board of Deputies' declaration that The Green Party of England & Wales is a "racist" party would be laughable if it wasn't so disgusting.

Can't believe I'm so relieved over an election in Brazil! Well done, Lula!

The smears don’t work. The membership has spoken. Equal rights for all from the river to the sea! Join the only major party that supports Palestinian Liberation. join.greenparty.org.uk

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

Today the Board of Deputies passed a resolution (118-1!) declaring the Greens a racist party. The resolution claimed that the BoD had a good record of campaigning against ‘racist parties’ . As a historian of this rather niche issue, the truth is rather different.

The protests have spread to Serbia. That is Spain France Italy Albania Greece Turkey India Indonesia all protesting at the same time. It's time to force the billionaires out of power.

This is a tremendous although horrifying report Make sure to watch

Historic European moment: "The Serbian leader lost in a landslide to a protest-backed student movement" www.politico.eu/article/serb...

Lula I have never complained about elections "But this time something abominable is happening." Lula needs to send them all to jail when he wins. One big jail for all the Bolsonaro's and all their corrupt followers, everyone who tried to fix this elections needs to get 30 years

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This is Jeremyc Hunt saying that he should have been even more of a Hunt when he was in power.
