Decades of such cowardly delay. Unforgivable. Every government who has been in the position of responsibility and has failed to act on ending fossil fuels should be sent to the places on the frontline of climate collapse.

"One source told the Guardian they feared [the report] was being suppressed because the government was unwilling to face the issues raised."

If this is true it's the most flagrant dereliction of duty and breach of the social contract imaginable. Their job is to keep us safe, that's the deal

When one person kills, we call it murder – but when corporations decide who lives and who dies – it's capitalism.

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Let’s make it an aim to chat to 2 friends who aren’t yet members and suggest they join by the end of this week. When they understand the future on offer with @greenparty.org.uk it won’t be a case of persuading.

If Trump is awarded NobelPeace Prize, everyone who has ever been awarded a Nobel should return it in protest.

Badenoch's speech completely detached from reality with no mention of protecting our communities from the climate crisis - particularly in light of her party’s plans to scrap the Climate Change Act and throw away Britain's progress on preventing climate breakdown

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.
