Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social for calling out #BBCQT for holding an immigration special - over a cost of living & climate special.

A proud GPEW member this evening after you setting out the positives of migration & the need to tackle route causes of devision - such as austerity.

Onwards.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

So so close to £200,000!

Other parties are funded by the super rich, hedge funders with private healthcare, oil and gas and arms traders.

We're growing our movement with the people.

Things move quickly in politics. The idea of a Sunday broadsheet dedicating it's entire front page to @greenparty.org.uk is huge, and let's be honest, a sign of changing times.

People are sitting up and noticing @zackpolanski.bsky.social

I’ve mapped the entire “East Midlands hydrogen ecosystem” presented in last week’s webinar as an interactive SVG — from Shetland renewables to cracking ammonia at Kingsbury. It’s quite a journey.

Full analysis:

Shetland’s HVDC link already exports clean power. So why convert it to hydrogen, ammonia, ship it, crack it, and burn it? A detailed analysis of the pipeline proposal.
