Cllr Alastair Binnie-Lubbock

I’m now a councillor in Shetland but my political roots are with @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social.

One conference highlight was meeting Dylan Law who’s standing to be Hackney’s next Deputy Mayor.

I spent so many years campaigning in Hackney; meeting talented folk like Dylan makes it all worthwhile!

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

Study links greater inequality to structural changes in children’s brains Researchers say findings show inequality creates toxic environment and reducing it is ‘a public health imperative’

A recent study shows that the presence of high levels of structural inequity in a society causes changes to children's brains, both children from families w/ lower incomes as well as those from wealthy families.

Take home: structural inequity harms everyone (with the most vulnerable most impacted).

Great to hang out with @carladenyer.bsky.social and @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social folk at the @greenparty.org.uk conference in Bournemouth this weekend

Such a great atmosphere; there’s huge confidence within the Greens at the moment.

Bring it on.

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza?

Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards".

This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

Mandatory ID cards result in multiple intersecting forms of discrimination and oppression, and will marginalise several communities already under assault from the government. These kinds of facile gimmicks do nothing to address issues, but will materially make life worse for many, many people

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

And a SECOND win in the night!!!

Huge congratulations to @ashfordgreenparty.bsky.social for their successful win.

Great to see Greens winning right across England and Wales.

Ratmageddon: Why rats are overrunning our cities Rats are multiplying at speed in urban areas. So, what's really behind the boom - and is it now unstoppable?

As temperatures go up, so do the number of rats in our cities

Runaway climate change has consequences we are only beginning to understand – we need to act now to stop it getting any worse

Labour have branded Nigel Farage’s migration attacks "unfunded, unworkable and falling apart in real time." And the classic: "Unserious".

They seem very reluctant to say "immoral" or "wrong".
