A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Our country is in crisis. Bills are too high. People are being forced to live in mouldy, unaffordable homes. One in three kids is living in poverty.

The budget is this government's chance to turn things around: it's time to cut bills and tax billionaires.
At the Budget, the Green Party's message is clear: Cut Bills. Tax Billionaires.

Do you run an #opensource #geospatial software project? Would your team like a small grant to push forward that next feature? Check out #GoFundGeo from @uk.osgeo.org and apply for funding if you meet the correct criteria: uk.osgeo.org/gofundgeo.html

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk Excellent result for the ward building on the hope radiating around the green party at the moment - and the massive effort by local volunteers.
Congratulations to our newest Green councillor, Cllr Mike Dunn, on winning the Long Ashton ward by-election in North Somerset with a huge Green vote!

Are the Greens...on to something? These people seem quite worried.
And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.

Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.

And every day we are growing.

My first time at the @uk.osgeo.org conference. It inspired me to highlight my research applying #Sentinel1 to #peatland with #qgis was published in the @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social Remote Sensing journal lnkd.in/eaPpipQu
With zero funding resources, it was possible because of #foss4g resources.

Never before have I felt so let down by a Labour government as with this one. I cancelled my membership earlier this year. Zack Polanski gives me hope. In the space of 8 weeks, I've joined the Green Party, and been encouraged to stand as a councillor for my local ward! And I couldn't be happier 😍
