About *a third* of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions emitted during the Industrial age have occurred in roughly the last 17 years. The previous third was emitted over a period of roughly 26 years. The first third was emitted over a period of about 131 years.

Extraordinary that the government is going to go into the next election having spent tens of billions of pounds on an ID card system that will be unpopular *and* produce no noticeable improvements to everyday life instead of renationalising the water industry.

I've never been more convinced that the Green Party are the vehicle for the long overdue change Britain needs.

It's time to wave goodbye to failed vulture capitalism and neoliberalism, and time to welcome Green Eco-Socialism.

Exciting times 💚

Every anti-trans campaigner, bigot, and supporter has blood on their hands. If you're against trans healthcare, if you pushed for rights being stripped, you did this.

Green Party Conference recently passed some amazing healthcare policy for the trans community. It commits us to an informed consent model of trans healthcare, a trans-led public inquiry into NHS care, a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy, and so much more.
The Green Party just voted to reform trans healthcare. What does this bold new policy look like? Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ What we're calling for: - The end of segregation in trans healthcare. - Ending the torture of conversion therapy. - Moving the NHS to an informed consent model. - Expanding the range of funded transition care. - Access to affirming healthcare for trans youth. - NHS support for people who seld-medicate or use private care. - Real support for detransitioning people. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ How we get there: - Closing the existing Gender Identity Clinics and supporting GPs with training and funding to care for trans people. - Lifting the politically motivated ban on 'puberty blockers'. - Starting a government funded, trans-led, inquiry into past NHS treatment of trans people. - Including & prioritising trans expertise in independent care reviews. - Passing a trans-inclusive ban on 'conversion therapy'. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ We don't have to accept the status quo. Trans greens logo in the middle with the text "Trans Greens" with "Greens for Trans Liberation" underneath. Why not read the full policy? Link in the next post.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

“You’re always playing the race card”

Anyone who says this has no idea how power dynamics work.

Race is not a card I can play. It is a hand I’m dealt.

Black people have never had the power to keep white people from voting, reading, or writing. If anyone’s had a race card, it’s white people.

Brighton Bimble is a 105 mile circular route that starts and ends in Crawley, and that (as the name suggests) circles through Brighton. Almost a full two thirds of the route is traffic-free, and it passes through stunning Sussex scenery. The start of the route, Three Bridges train station in Crawley, is easily reachable by direct train from London, making this a wonderful weekend, or long weekend escape from London.

Reform-led Staffordshire County Council's dedicated school grant reserve is £53.6 million in deficit, but the Reform group of councillors are prioritising the appointment of "political assistants" for themselves.

Reform councillors are not serious people.

People parking on pavements, sadly without any consequences, to name one. Plus living for a while in a city with excellent public transportation (Munich) and then in one with bad public transportation and awful traffic (Hull) made me realise even more how good it is when you can live without a car.
