Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

UK slashes climate aid programmes for developing countries Exclusive: Schemes worth hundreds of millions of pounds to protect biodiversity and oceans likely to be substantially reduced

Deeply saddened to see the UK slash climate aid for developing countries.

Climate finance isn’t charity; it’s a responsibility. We must stand by our commitments and the countries that did the least to cause this crisis.

Energy security comes from renewables & clean flexibility, not fossil gas.
Fossil fuel supplies can vanish overnight, prices can spike, and consumers pay the price.
A renewables-based, flexible system is immune to these shocks.

This is nothing. Just send Mahmood out again to announce some more anti-refugee policies and you can easily find your way to fifth place.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.

This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.

And we're making hope normal again - together.

Trump Administration Abandons Efforts to Impose Orders on Law Firms

I cannot stop thinking about the $345 billion judgement against Greenpeace.

We have to, essentially, phase out fossil fuels, yet for participating in a years-long fight to block one measly little pipeline, if they can't overturn this on appeal, Greenpeace will be destroyed.

How is this even real?

Prime Minister Carney's promise at Davos to "build our strength at home" would do well to draw on the example of former Canadian cabinet minister C.D. Howe, under whose guidance Canada established 28 new Crown corporations to expedite the mass production of military equipment during the Second World War.
