This year’s State of the Climate Report warns of imminent climate chaos

Transferred my rhubarb wine to a demijohn on Wednesday, but appropriately enough for Halloween, it’s still bubbling away like a witch’s brew! 🧪

Hey @dailymail.co.uk we fixed your newspapers for you 💋

Lord Rothermere who owns the Daily Mail pays NO TAX in the UK.

The rest of us fund public services, he CHOSES not to. Yet we’re supposed to believe problems in the NHS are migrants’ fault? The utter cheek.

Zack Polanski wants to renationalise Water, have a wealth tax and fully fund our NHS

Nigel Farage wants to deport innocent people, whip up racism and transfer more wealth to the super rich.

Yet Centrists are trying to make us think they are the same.

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

Overshooting 1.5°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?

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I’ve had this picture saved on my photo since a demo I was on in around 2018. As relevant now as it was then! 😄

I grew up in Wales, mostly in Cardiff but in Caerphilly during my early childhood, and I bloody love this.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The surge in support for the Greens is very welcome. Like it's ok - and actually a fairly reasonable position to take - to care about people, community, & the earth.

A colleague at work who usually says firmly that they can’t stand politics (but knows I’m a Green) said to me today “Zack Polanski is great. I’m in!” @zackpolanski.bsky.social

I totally get this. My Dad is 82. He’s getting a little frail and sometimes the things that old age makes him say or do annoy me, but I know it’s because really I’m just afraid of losing him. 😔

Cover of paperback edition of novel ‘The Trees’ by Percival Everett.

Finished reading this today. Feels very pertinent to the current political climate and will stay with me for a good long time. The grim humour chimed well with me too - I loved this book.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

National security threatened by climate crisis, UK intelligence chiefs due to warn Report by joint intelligence committee delayed, with concerns expressed that it may not be published

This is what they're trying to distract you from...

‘Nine-jobs Nigel’ Farage denies not declaring extra earni... Roles outside Parliament make Reform leader the highest-earning MP, but register of interests has not been updated since end of May

Nine jobs Nigel Farage hasn't updated his ­register of interests in months.

Potentially hundreds of thousands of ££££ from his many "outside interests" remain undeclared

Gender Clinic Files: Some people in Scotland will never get a gender clinic appointment on a 224-year waitlist.

This system is failing to support people to transition not because it is broken, but by design. The frustrating thing is that this would not be a difficult problem to solve under a different political paradigm. Trans+ people do not need to be assessed by gender clinics or diagnosed by psychiatrists to tell us what we already know: we are trans. The healthcare we need, especially when it comes to hormones, is already available to cis people through making an appointment with their GP. Gender clinics are unnecessary and exist to segregate healthcare for Trans+ people. Abolishing this system and providing Trans+ healthcare in primary care, at the GP through an informed consent model, would solve many of the issues this data reveals. GPs already prescribe hormones to cis adults. Trans+ adults simply need the same access to this healthcare.

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.

224 YEARS.

This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.

We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Everyone at work has coughs and colds. It’s only the start of the academic year, but a lot of us who keep things like exam boards churning away over the summer are knackered already.

The @greenparty.org.uk has grown by 33% since Zack launched his leadership campaign in May

It's the grassroots movement that is building incredible momentum and shows no sign of stopping!

If fascism growling at the door doesn't motivate you to get involved and show up in your community, what will?

There's some serious momentum building behind @greenparty.org.uk

We just passed 80k members, and still climbing!

We went to watch ‘2:22 - A Ghost Story’ last week and LOVED it! Absolutely brilliant - thank you!

Starmer to unveil digital ID cards in plan set to ignite civil liberties row ‘Brit card’ already facing opposition from privacy campaigners as government looks for ways to tackle illegal immigration

This Labour government seems to determined to create all the tools necessary for a future government of the far-right to control, surveille, and discipline the entire population.

Holy shit Tommy Robinson is so stupid.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Keir Starmer has ‘legal duty to stop Gaza genocide’, says Greta Thunberg Exclusive: Activist spoke while onboard aid flotilla aiming to deliver food, baby formula and medical supplies to territory

Decent people doing the decent thing

Meanwhile, our Government is happy to meet war criminals and arrests hundreds who protests against the genocide

If only we had decent people in Government...

It's been an absolutely inspiring day in Cardiff today for our campaign session for the Senedd. Great to see so many Greens come out with such enthusiasm, ready to #GetGreensElected

His jagged gapped teeth had shades of Hannibal lecter. Better watch out.

The Daily Mail resorts to personal attacks because they’re rattled.

Nazi backing rags protecting their super rich owners.

And Keir Starmer’s randomly ranting about me in Parliament.

Best way to respond to this desperation?

Nooooo! I can see why it was brief.
