Labour needs several million buckets of ice-cold water poured over their head and the nation's church bells ringing in unison as a very loud wake-up call. Hopefully, this is it.

People voted for hope and change and vision not Reform lite and the same old Tory shite.

💚4 yrs ago I was the Green Party candidate on our local ballot paper. Frustrating how the resulting vote split the opposition & how FPTP allowed more of the same. However, never more important than today to vote for Nature, equality, justice & inclusion to deliver transformative change #votegreen 💚
Vote for real hope and real change.

Vote Green today.

Join Andrea Jenkyns on her march against solar panels today!

Just a note team.

Steer clear of the ones with a plaque reading:

“This solar panel represents the 16,120 solar panels that provide solar electricity directly to Wakefield Manufacturing Site. Opened by Andrea Jenkyns MP 8 September 2017”

Bravo, M. Malhuret
French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

IT IS A COUP
This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

President Trump ended a first-of-its-kind assessment of land, water and wildlife across the U.S. that its leader called "too important to die," weeks before the study was set to be completed.
Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway.
The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

So @uklabour.bsky.social think unsustainable development underpins sustainable economic growth? How about concentrating on taking the brake off self inflicted economic, social and political decline and realign Britain back into the EU. #brexitwrexit

Trump says he's going to pull out of the Paris Agreement.

That's a bad move, but it's not "game over" for climate -- not at all! It's "game on," and we must now focus on new climate leadership and new climate tactics.

That's what we're going to do at @projectdrawdown.bsky.social

The richest 50 billionaires in the UK make £2m profit every single day, each.

On this they pay an average of 11% tax.

The average person pays 37%.

It is time to stop saying we can't tax them, and start taxing them.

Yes it’s a set back . A major one . But we cannot give up . Not now , not ever . In the UK I’m campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship , because for too long these companies have had largely unlimited £££ to greenwash their filthy reputations . No more .
Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship
Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced...
