Labour promised an end to new drilling. But new powers give Energy Secretary Ed Miliband a backdoor to expand fossil fuels in the North Sea.

Loopholes don’t cut carbon.
No new oil and gas.

A square campaign graphic with a solid green background. In the centre, large white capital letters read: “NO NEW OIL AND GAS.” The simple, bold design reflects the Green Party of England and Wales’ call to stop new fossil fuel drilling in the North Sea and to prioritise investment in clean, renewable energy.

In North Lancashire? Please fill in Lancaster City Council's survey. Your view on LGR really matters. Consider the importance of local identity & accountability. Feel strongly about avoiding a merger with particular areas? Make sure your response reflects that.

There are now 5 different options being proposed for creating new ‘unitary authorities’ across Lancashire. Each affected council is required by the Government to state their preferred option by November – only 2 months away! Here's our view. What's yours?

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Nigel Farage, Reform UK, and their funders in the fossil fuel industry lie about fracking.

The facts:
- Extremely expensive, geologically dangerous, environmentally polluting.
- promises of jobs, lower energy prices, energy security? -false hopes & lies!

Reform UK plans for fracking fly in the face of Lancashire communities

PLUS: Migration misinformation continues to circulate from elected officials

We’re not a threat to Starmer.

We’re the replacement.

People aren’t leaving Labour - Labour left them.

And they’re finding a new home with the Green Party.

Passage starts meanwhile another threat was already present in physical form. Full link below.

Good to see Ed Davey calling for the govt to publish the legal advice it has received on breaches of international law in the Israel-Gaza war this morning.

I led a debate on this topic in June, and I repeat the calls I made then.🧵

Today I led a debate on UK compliance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, highlighting the horrific crisis in Gaza: mass killings, starvation, displacement. The evidence of genocide is undeniable and demands urgent action. 🧵
