Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US.

But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

β€˜Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: β€˜Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says AntΓ³nio Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5Β°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

I assure you, as annoying as it is -- you love driving your car, you hate those mean bicyclists, you wish pedestrians would get out of your way, you "deserve" free parking, and you don't believe climate change is coming for your suburban home in a firebox --

Climate change believes in you. 100%.

The hilarity of a Welsh Labour stitch up designed to exclude smaller parties, in a desperate attempt to avoid a healthy multi party democracy, looking like it will wipe Welsh Labour off the map. The ironing is delicious. Wales needs proper PR @walesgreenparty.bsky.social

The artist known as Zack Polanski so am astute communicator. His voice is fluffed in a lisp. Glib radicalism of the rampant egomaniac.

This is next level of "journalistic* " slop.
