Today is Human Rights Day. We reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable rights of all people to freedom, life and safety from Palestine to Congo, Haiti to Sudan, and here in the UK, amidst inadequate living standards, privacy infringements and persecution for political action.

Calls to action as sewage poured into chalk stream for over 75 hours in week Cross-party calls for action on the protection of chalk streams have been made amid a week of daily raw sewage discharges into the River Misbourne.

Thames Water's Gerrards Cross plant has poured raw sewage into the precious River Misbourne chalk stream for over 75 combined hours since December 4th.

This is unacceptable; our rivers and chalk streams are not and never will be dumping grounds for sewage.

Nationalise now!💧

Thank you so much for 180,000 members.

The message this tells us is clear: you want real hope and real change, and that is what this movement will continue to fight for.

Today marks 25 years of offshore wind power: an initiative that reduced the UK’s spending on imported fuels by up to £30bn.

Without wind power the country would’ve imported & burned over 20 million tonnes of gas over the last 25 years.

Wind works 🌬️ For the climate and the economy.

Please, if you can, get involved and help your local Green Party take on Reform and Labour this upcoming May.

We need our tax system to benefit us, not the rich!

Developers and landlords use vacant homes and land itself as financial instruments to avoid taxation.

This isn't tinkering at the edges. This is a complete rebuilding of what the British tax system is and who it benefits.

You just can't imagine Starmer and co calling Reform supporters 'nuts' and that tells you all you need to know about who they are, if you haven't already worked it out

🛍️ Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday.

The Green Party backs small business.

Local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. We want to see them thrive.

Let’s green business, improve employee welfare and make it easier for people to shop local #ShopLocal

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

UK farmers lose £800m after heat and drought cause one of worst harvests on record Many now concerned about ability to make living in fast-changing climate after one of worst grain harvests recorded

Record temperatures and droughts caused by climate change have cost UK arable farmers over £800 MILLION in lost grain production in 2025.

This is the consequence of poor political choices, but we can make different choices, green choices 🌍

Council backs campaign to end violence against women and girls A council is backing a national campaign calling for an end to violence against women and girls

More than one million cases of violence against women and girls are reported annually, but only 24% of cases are reported to the police, a worrying stat.

Please, #SpeakUp if a female family member has experienced violence from a male. And spread the word that VAWG is not ok.

We cannot imagine the trauma the Palestinian people must be going through, and it is unforgivable that we have allowed it to go on for so long.

Anger and fear amid 'horrendous' water leaks across Wycombe There has been fear and anger about multiple water 'horrendous' leaks across High Wycombe, Thames Water and Bucks Council have responded.

www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/2565644...

Bucks Council and Wycombe residents are outraged by burst pipes causing floods. Thames Water has paid £10.4 billion in dividends to its shareholders since privatisation but for too long has neglected our critical infrastructure. This cannot continue; water must be brought under public ownership.

Scientists warn of severe climate-related risks to UK economy and security Experts lay out scale of changes needed in ‘first-of-its-kind national emergency briefing’ in Westminster

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Scientists have warned the Labour government about climate-related risks to the economy, food systems, and national security. Posing a bigger security risk than Russia.

Yet legacy media still treat climate breakdown as a trivial issue. But It's not; we will all feel it.
