This πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ is a hugely important thread 🧡 particularly for greens.

The rest of the world looked on in horror and disgust at what Israel did to Gaza

But Trump looked at it and thought 'I want a piece of that'

How else do we explain the triumphalist infliction of death and destruction on Iran?

I suppose to #RightWing bellend #Starmer, anyone on the #left who is progressive IS an extremist.

Where as a real extremist, #Farage is someone he wants to emulate.

This is no shock. #Labour have become anti-progressive & have abandoned its core voters.

It is no wonder that the #GreenParty is doing amazingly well. They truly HAVE replaced the Labour party.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Yorkshire Dales sheep and cattle swap boosts biodiversity - studies Natural England began switching to cattle grazing at its Ingleborough site in the Dales in 2004.

Researchers found that replacing sheep with cattle at a site in the Yorkshire Dales - as part of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Wild Ingleborough project - saw plant diversity increase by more than 40% and the number of butterflies increased.

More of this sort of thing.

Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face β€˜political earthquake’ in London Exclusive: Senior party figures share data suggesting Green surge could put Labour in fourth place in capital in May

Our journey to replace Labour continues.

For too long they've told progressive voters that they had no choice but to vote for them.
The Manchester by-election showed that for the lie it is.

What I think we’ve learned since Labour came to power is that their ability to be extraordinarily appalling in their behaviour knows no bounds. The thought of this makes me want to gag.

UK must stockpile food in readiness for climate shocks or war, expert warns Prof Tim Lang says country produces far less food than it needs to feed population and is particularly vulnerable

The climate crisis is a food crisis, but β€œThe UK is one of the least food self-sufficient countries in Europe.” Nor do we stockpile food the way other countries do, making us very vulnerable to shocks in a very centralised system.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.

New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:

🟒 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000

Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

As the Representation of the People Bill has been working through parliament, MPs have been calling on the government to make the bill live up to its name and give us a parliament that is representative of how we voted.
