Not to mention the Gatwick runway too...

I'm not sure we'll get a pact or personally whether I think it would be a good idea anyway. Which will probably be to the detriment of both parties. I'm holding out for the dream of electoral reform. And am surprised Starmer hasn't backflipped on it now that FPTP no longer serves their interests...

Fixed the BBC headline for them. Not sure why we tolerate the gambling industry in its current form.

Could be indeed. I think it's something more about culture, vibe or something in the vein you've said rather than a difference of policy.

I am genuinely curious why @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social and @zarahsultana.bsky.social haven't just joined the @greenparty.org.uk. Can anyone help me understand?

I suspect millions are gambling addicts. Governments have promised legislation. It is everywhere 24/7, in the high Street, in pubs, on phones, on terrestrial tv on the internet, within and for other businesses like charities and sports events.
I really pity the poor addict!

Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2024 The latest cost analysis from IRENA shows that renewables continued to represent the most cost-competitive source of new electricity generation in 2024.

More than nine in 10 renewable power projects globally are now cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives.

"In 2024, renewables helped avoid USD 467 billion in fossil fuel costs."

As if competence is ever taken into account in political appointments; it's all about who has the numbers. Is Taylor suggesting some sort of competency test for public office? Labour should be careful what they wish for...

Agreed! There are much cheaper ways for the government to torture people.

Thank you for noticing the shirts. #greensorganise is just about trying to make an effort.
