Delighted to be re-elected onto Stockport Council again, along with existing Green councillor Gary Lawson and James Frizzell, who was elected for the first time. Now three Greens in Reddish South. Yay !!
SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £30,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year
Important work is being done by @ManchesterMill. The powerful must be held accountable, and only properly funded journalism can do that work. Lord hoped legal threats would silence the Mill. For such a small publication, it took serious balls to stick to its guns.
The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.
Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.
We must stop him.
⚡️🇪🇬BREAKING: Egypt’s Embassy in USA republishes the following as a response to Donald Trump:
Egypt’s stance is clear: it cannot be part of any solution that involves the transfer of Palestinians into Sinai. Such a move would trigger a second Nakba, an unimaginable tragedy for a resilient people who have an unbreakable bond with their ancestral land.
Let us be clear, Egypt is not in the business of entertaining any proposition that would dilute the question of Palestine!
Statement from Premier of Greenland;
10 min. ago;
“Recent events have had an impact on all of us. And many of you who have contacted me tell me about your insecurity. I have great understanding for that. In these difficult times, we must remember that we are not alone and have many partners around the world who support us. From Naalakkersuisut, we will continue our defense of our country and its people. Although the pressure is great, we must not panic. We must stand together as a people - And show that Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders 🇬🇱
Wishing you all a continued good Sunday evening ❤️”

Great to see momentum continuing to grow for introducing the #NaturalHistory GCSE. It’s pretty much ready to go & just needs green light from government. A brilliant way to restore nature, improve mental health & fill green skills gap

So @Keir_Starmer tells Ed Miliband: ‘I hate tree huggers - I'm not interested in hope & change’ . Well Keir there a lot of unhappy ‘tree huggers’ now and a lot more people who voted for ‘hope and change’ who are beginning to wonder what’s going on

This is it: we are on the brink of stopping new oil and gas drilling for good. The government has paused approving new fields while it asks the public, what we think should happen. The gov stands on the side of people over oil and gas bosses. Sign here: https://t.co/EA64Rm0SYa
How dare we enjoy the fresh air while showing gratitude for life? Next, you’ll say we’re trying to take over the clouds too. Touch some grass. Literally. It’s good for the soul.
A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! I felt very privileged to see this beautiful Hercules Moth up so close in FNQ #wildoz#wildlife#nature#biodiversity#insects
When UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, we should be doing everything we can to protect it - not give developers a free pass to concrete over land regardless of what's there
Another U-turn on Labour's promise to protect the environment

Malala Yousafzai: For over 3.5 years, Taliban have stripped Afghan girls of their right to learn. They aim to erase women from society, using culture & religion to justify their crimes. To them, women aren’t human beings. She called on world to support Afghan women’s education.
