Breaking the Link is happening, in Spain. 75% reduction in times when gas sets the price resulting in power prices 30% lower than the EU average. While Britain has prices more like 30% higher than the EU average. The Link is the cause. What are we waiting for, Ed, Keir, Rachel....?

#FOSS4GUK 2025 is a wrap. It was an amazing experience & outstanding success. Our speakers did so well to represent the spirit of OSGeo& #FOSS4G. Our greatest achievement was to welcome so many first time delegates and presenters to carry the torch and define us as a community diverse and united ♥️🫂

Tiny visitor alert! A Long-tailed Tit is checking out your feed.

📷 James Gregory
A fluffy Long-tailed Tit clings to the side of a tree trunk, its round body and long tail feathers giving it a puffball look. With its head tilted slightly and dark eyes fixed forward, it looks curious and almost as though it’s assessing your scroll.

As I'm going round the country - I'm meeting people over and over again who are finding hope in the Green Party.

Brilliant that's also reflected in our rise in members & now in the consistent rise in the polls too.

The Green Party are on the rise. And not a moment too soon!

Find Out Now poll puts Greens +2 since @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s election. Now on 12%.

Greens level pegging with Lib Dems, just 3 points behind Tories, & only 7 points behind Labour.

Zack wasn’t joking when he said we are not here to be disappointed with Labour, we are here to replace them.

Have you explored the August 2025 #C3S Climate Bulletin? It was the third-warmest August globally on record, with southwestern Europe experiencing the third consecutive month of intense summer heatwaves, fueling wildfires in some parts of the region.

🇳🇴 Great news from Norway!

👏 Green party @mdg.no got over the 4% threshold for the first time. This Green success secures a left-wing government.

That means that despite gains by the far right, they will not be in power.
CONgrats to the norwegian greens on their Best ever results!

At #TUC2025 this morning, Congress will vote on Wages not Weapons.

As @zackpolanski.bsky.social said:
“You need to vote for security, not the arms trade to invest in people and planet, not destruction.” ✊🌍

If you are tired of the rich getting richer at your expense. If you tired of the right destroying our schools, the NHS, the civil service, the environment, while poverty rises, etc. If you are tired of immigrants being blamed for all of this as a catch all, while the rights fails.

The Prime Minister can call me names - “plastic progressive”? (Nope, me neither!)

Meanwhile, I’m travelling across England and Wales, meeting people fired up and ready for change.

We’re going to turn this country around – and no one gets left behind.

Zack, you're offering people change to make people's lives better. While Labour is offering austerity 2.0. I know I would vote for the former, not the latter.
