Brexit gives me the hump. FPTP gives me another one. Brexit was criminally procured. Voting system in UK needs reforming proportionally - it should be democratic. In USA, one person, one vote.

Are we ready to govern? Absolutely. After Labour, the Conservatives and now Reform, people deserve something genuinely different — something positive, hopeful and truly transformative.

Back the Greens and let’s build a country that works for people and planet! 💚

🚨 The government is preparing a new Elections Bill, promising to strengthen Britain's democracy.

But it currently fails to address the elephant in the room: the voting system.

We're asking the Democracy Minister @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social to fix this.

This case stems from the systemic failure & subsequent cover-up revealed by 2020 Russia Report. Boris Johnson refused to investigate but what is UK govt's excuse now??

Read about this 5-year campaign & why it's even more necessary than ever now.

With five parties on double digits, the first-past-the-post voting system makes a complete mockery of any semblance of a fair elections.

It’s way past-time to make seats match votes and GET PR DONE

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

Last year, we were lucky enough to welcome Dr Jane Goodall to the Greenpeace stage at Glastonbury, where she shared this beautiful message of HOPE in tough times.

Rest in peace, Jane. Thank you so much for all the hope you gave to us all. 💚💚

In 2016, the Kremlin-backed broadcaster RT offered Nigel Farage his own show.

It is clear that the Kremlin regarded Farage as a useful tool to serve Russia and weaken the UK and EU. Farage has fulfilled exactly that role and continues to do so.

He is a traitor.

Farage wants the UK to quit the ECHR. It is exactly what Putin wants, for the UK to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and the international rule of law.

Farage is a traitor.

When martial law is declared just before Election Day 2026, ICE will be the repressive domestic military force that keeps us in line as our centuries of elections come to a close. Under the guise of fighting an immigration emergency that doesn't exist, Trump will build one of Earth's largest armies.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

It seems unlikely that the richest men in the world are so worried about footing the bill for decent regulation of the online space that they’ve signed up pliant politicians to invent a non-existent ‘free speech crisis’. Until you remember just how greedy you have to be to become that rich…

I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.
