Yesterday, the Greens were celebrating 87,000 members.
Today, they have skyrocketed 93,000 members, making this most likely the fastest growth the party has ever seen before in terms of membership figures.

@bsky.app your age verification process doesn't work. I've tried multiple times on different days and the face scanner never loads; I've also tried using multiple cards and every time it fails. Why are you using such a useless system? Age verification is impossible

Great piece by @carolinelucas.bsky.social "It’s hard to see what moral authority Starmer can think he has to try to prevent countries like Iran from pursuing their nuclear ambitions while he upgrades our own." 👏
Why are we commemorating Hiroshima’s 80th anniversary with new nuclear weapons? And why is the Govt backing idea of a glossy new PR campaign to persuade us we need nukes whilst simultaneously trying to block inquiry into impacts of nuclear war?

“Votes for 16 & 17 year-olds is a good move to strengthen UK democracy and representation. But the government must go further. We desperately need to shake up how we elect our politicians so that the votes of young people – and everyone else – really count." ~ Councillor Thomas Richardson #Exeter

1/5 of the health budget is being directed away from the NHS, and into private healthcare. That's 20%.
The research shows that more private use creates worse patient outcomes (Lancet).
This is daylight robbery.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it
Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
