Please @bbcradio4.bsky.social don’t parrot Tory rhetoric about their plan to set the country on “a new path” to tackle #climate change. That’s not what they’re doing. Badenoch is trashing the science & setting the country on a course to be poorer and more prone to climate disaster

Watching the @toulouseolympique.bsky.social Bradford game back on YouTube. Impressive that Toulouse were without three star imports, Rennie, Peyroux & Rivett and replaced them with three French lads instead, Tropis, Laguerre & Lacans. #rugbyleague 🏉🇫🇷💙🤍

If Government were to approve #Rosebank oilfield, it would be an unforgivable act of environmental vandalism & simply can’t be squared with #climate commitments. Anyone else recall Reeves’s pledge to be first Green Chancellor? How long ago it seems now…@stopcambo.bsky.social

Today MPs debate Proportional Representation. A proper national conversation about alternatives to our broken system is long overdue.
We're calling for a National Commission for Electoral Reform to design a voting system that's fit for the 21st century.

About 25 years ago, the RFL gave a financial incentive to a few star players to keep them in #rugbyleague. Has there been a better investment than the one they made to keep Kris Radlinski in the sport? www.espn.com/rugby/story/...

Thatcher's right-to-buy policy has decimated the UK's housing stock and has allowed private landlords to expand their property portfolios and exploit renters.
The Green Party is clear. The government should scrap right-to-buy and invest properly in genuinely affordable housing.

By noon today FTSE100 bosses will have made more money than the average worker will all year.
Income inequality is grossly out of control. Now is the time to tax the super-rich and bring in a 10:1 pay ratio.
