We strongly agree with @carladenyer.bsky.social on this one – the UN Climate Summit #COP30 must be about action, not just words.

That’s why, at COP30 we’ll be calling for a truly just transition to fairer societies built on renewable energy, well-funded public services and equality. 🌍

A graphic from Bradford District Green Party features Zack Polanski speaking through a megaphone toward an image of a large luxury yacht. A mock newspaper headline styled like The Times reads: “While Mr Farage vows to stop the boats, Mr Polanski insists that the pressing problem is the triumph of the have-yachts over the have-nots.” The background is green, and text at the bottom says “Join.greenparty.org.uk” next to the Green Party logo.

They gained more than 6000 members in a single day. There are now more Green members than members of the Conservative Party and their membership is more than double the reported membership of the LibDems.

"Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour is being deserted by a so-called Green wave of left-wing voters who are disillusioned with the party’s shift to the right on welfare, migration and transgender rights."

Labour may soon be ‘haemorrhaging’ left-wing voters to the Green Party, which is surging in polls, amid disillusionment with the party’s shift to the right

My motion against mandatory digital ID has gained a lot of cross-party support.

Combined with the Govt's alarming new restrictions on the right to protest freely, these plans represent an enormous threat to civil liberties.

In normal circumstances, supporters should be allowed to attend and provision taken to ban violent fans like The Ultras
But these aren't normal circumstances: these games are taking place in the context of 1000's of civilians killed in Gaza, the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and apartheid
