Green Party's Mothin Ali calls on Lammy to help Palestine Action hunger strikers Ali became the first politician to visit the activists who have been on hunger strike more than 30 days

The Green Party leadership has called on the government to "act before it's too late" after the party’s deputy leader became the first political figure to visit activists affiliated with Palestine Action who are on hunger strike

Fingleton's attack on Aarhus cost capping would severely undermine public access to justice - an attack on human rights too.

Now Telegraph reports SNP MP Stephen Flynn says Miliband should get GB Energy to fund #Peterhead #CCS project archive.ph/ONW2w

@gbenergy.bsky.social should read up on the real climate impacts scrapcc.org/PETERHEAD

GB Energy was set up to do clean energy, #CCS at #Peterhead is not

CCS sounds great - but it is simply the gas lobby sugar-coating their plans to build new gas plants with gobledegook. But the carbon capture promises don't add up. Fortunately, the gas companies are getting cold feet.

Main backer of Scottish carbon capture site to sell stake in project The project captures emissions from industrial sites before they reach the atmosphere, storing them under the North Sea.

🚨 Peterhead Scottish CCS project - main backer pulls out. Sounds like lack of confidence in project.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said in a recent speech that he supports a series of “red tape” cutting measures from Fingleton's review of nuclear industry regulations.

Starmer said he wants these “lessons” rolled out across the government’s entire industrial strategy... 1/2🧵

Nooooo! Don't scrap the Finch ruling!

Keir Starmer may see them as part of “unnecessary red-tape, well-intentioned, but fundamentally misguided, environmental regulations” but the Finch ruling, Habitats Regulations, biodiversity net gain, etc, are vital protections for our planet and for nature.

Bleak AF! This mustn't come to pass.

'The Fingleton review states that overturning the Finch ruling “would establish that if a later indirect effect of a development will be assessed under a separate EIA... it does not need to be assessed as an indirect effect of the original development"'

All the others were useless and in some cases just racist. And Zack was the only one who had anything sensible to say. The fact that he was able to cut through with an audience chosen on immigration in Dover is pretty damn impressive!

Question time fans rage defund the BBC after small boat migrants planted in audience.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

When are we going to have a special on:
• The rise of the far-right
• The state of the NHS
• The severe lack of trans+ healthcare
• The constantly hiking rent
• The 1% who own half this country's wealth
• Stagnant wages for the working class
• The state of council homes
• The housing crisis
...

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk.

Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me.

It's not going to work on anyone.

I voted Green last year because I knew how awful Labour's Backstabbing Tendency would be in government, having followed the briefings & backstabbing of anti-Corbyn Labour MPs & party hacks. I'm now a member of the Green Party. #GreenSurge

This is why I finally made the jump from Labour to Green - bold politics of hope!

Aerial shot of a hazy industrial looking cityscape. The text in bold reads: “NO TO GREEN HYDROGEN IMPORTS”, followed by “A statement from 130+ groups.”

📣 130+ groups tell EU to scrap its #greenhydrogen import plans that prioritise Europe's flawed energy agenda over the rights, needs, and futures of communities in the Global South.
