Sarah Wakefield (the Greens candidate in Makerfield): "The fundamental problem we have.. is that we're building on 40yrs of deindustrialisation topped off by 15yrs of austerity.. we're all feeling it.. we should be looking at the massive inequality in this country.."

Renting in Britain is broken.

While the Labour government tears itself apart I have written to Steve Reed, alongside our two new Green Mayors @ZoeGarbett and @LiamShrivastava , to ask him to listen to all those who voted for change last week and to introduce rent controls now.

I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.

"We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers.
We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia.
We made Ukraine vulnerable.

So yes, this is our war.."

THIS IS COLLAPSE: horrific levels of deforestation and pollution persist as abrupt climate change accelerates

So ... All those ppl telling me that millionaires will just up and leave if they must pay higher taxes are wrong.
Most of us understand our taxes pay for a happier healthier society, which benefits them too.

This was a really disappointing King's Speech from the Govt. What the country & Govt needed was a fundamental reset. One that brings about a transformative agenda to tackle the major challenges we face as a nation.

This speech failed to do that.

“This self-destructive civilisation has all the necessary elements to off itself: it is made up of people forced to do jobs they don’t like, told to buy things they don’t need, and genocide people they don’t even know”

Will we choose the billionaire-owned charlatans, distracting us with hate & anger as climate collapse rips our world apart?

Or will we think of our children, face up to the reality of this moment & rapidly adapt?

Great piece by @GreenRupertRead

Hannah Spencer MP in Parliament yesterday, calls for the "transformative, progressive programme this moment demands"

The climate and cost-of-living crises are inextricably linked, with the poorest hit hardest. It’s time to put people and planet first.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Britain is being ripped off - and the government has failed to act.
Green MPs are putting forward an amendment to the King's Speech with a plan to end Rip off Britain and make life affordable again.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Ah the old lie "nationalisation will cost billions".

James Murry @jamesmurray_ldn you just told Justin Web @JustinOnWeb on the Today programme @BBCr4today that nationalising the water industry "costs huge amounts of money".

I challenge you sir, prove it, prove a single word of it and if you can't or won't then stop repeating the lie for that's what it is, a lie.

NOW OVER A MILLION VIEWS. Are you listening @Keir_Starmer?

More than 3,200 lawyers including 300 top barristers and retired judges have called on you to drop your plan to restrict the right to trial by jury.

30 organisations representing victims of violence against women and girls have written to the Justice Secretary urging him against curtailing the right to jury trials.

Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. The government has no mandate to restrict it - a move which will put us on a path toward authoritarian justice.

It’s not too late for you to listen to the thousands of voices of victims, judges, barristers, other legal professionals and academics who oppose this.

Please now do the right thing and abandon this blatant act of constitutional vandalism.

The planet we think we're living on no longer exists.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Harrison Ford, "Humanity is a part of nature, not above it"

"We have an essential mandate to protect 30% of the world's land and sea by 2030, to prevent the mass extinction, to slow the warming of our planet"

"We are still losing nature to profiteering, corruption, conflict, including land that is already protected on paper. These efforts matter but they're not enough"

"We need cultural change"

"We need to extend social justice"

"We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood"

"These communities have long understood that the trees, the mountains, water, soil, are not commodities, they are relatives to be cherished for following generations to embrace and protect"

"We can all play our role in embracing that wisdom in our day to day lives by loving the planet"

"By honouring nature's authority, her generosity, the bounty she affords us. The justice of her example"

"Because the world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real mess”
