cute emergency alert sweetie but have you considered decarbonising the grid

[Nick Brook @nrbrook]

@UniteSharon very disappointing. I usually like what you have to say, but opposing a rapid move to net zero - especially during a record heatwave! - is the wrong thing for workers, and the wrong side of history. Clean energy is being good, well paid jobs

@KirkleesCouncil you changed the bin collection days and only sent a letter after the first collection, and then missed a further two collections… what’s going on?! Will green bins be collected this week? (HD2 2)

@josefchen Great article, but I wonder what your advice would be to engineers in the UK looking to work on/build big things? Where are the opportunities, how can we find them?

Leaving X, but I'm on Bluesky: https://t.co/ZPiXrsUk5h

@agilepredict Thanks. Pretty much the only reason I was using X, now I don’t have to

When are we going to ban sales of fireworks to individuals? Pretty tired of this week long warzone and air thick with smoke every time you step outside.

Great to see @RachelReevesMP on @bbclaurak #BBCLauraK *AFTER* the budget to be asked important questions on what has been announced. Stark contrast to Tory era when the chancellor just denied the rumours about their upcoming budget. Credit due to both Reeves and Kuenssberg

@Guitaraholic @LukeTryl Starmer appealed to less people - Labour got less votes than 2019 - by being a bland non-entity. They got lucky because the Tories were terrible so people were voting against them, and reform split the right wing vote

[Nick Brook @nrbrook]

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes https://t.co/NFsuVzVjr8

@HuddersfieldGr2 congratulations on a great result in Huddersfield!

[Nick Brook @nrbrook]

@carla_denyer @AdrianRamsay congratulations on a fantastic campaign. You have been very professional and great spokespeople for the party. Targeting 4 seats clearly an effective strategy

[Nick Brook @nrbrook]

Im thrilled to see the #ToriesAreOut today, and #GreenParty get 4 seats (proportional voting system would have given 44!). #Labour seem to have won by default - roughly 600k less votes than 2019

[Sue💙🔶 ❤️Conquers All @suehard]

I always respected @YvetteCooperMP but tonight utterly disappointed. Only @LaylaMoran represented my view and the by the applause, so most of the audience agreed! #SafeAndLegalRoutes

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

If you want Green, you have to vote Green.

Today @friends_earth & @greenpeaceuk have released their assessments of the party manifestos & the results show the Green Party has the strongest fully costed policies for the environment.

[Bevan Boy 💚 @mac123_m]

No Green vote is a waste.
1) It might get you a brilliant Green MP
2) The higher the constituency vote the more money returned to the Green Party
3) An increased vote share shows to other parties the popularity of progressive policies. Labour allegedly now looking at Wealth taxes

@Screwfix your checkout isn’t currently working

The Rwanda Bill is a smokescreen.

The Tories won't stop at deporting refugees.

Here's why.

@FinchesFriend when do you expect to be selling the squirrel cage?
