Burning question of the moment in England and Wales! Footage of our meeting on @greenparty.org.uk and electoral alliances.

Is a united Left/Green alternative in English and Welsh politics an unattainable ambition or a realistic and urgently necessary possibility? youtu.be/6npbru7Sdyc

It took several days for police to recognise the desecration of the Muslim area of a lawn cemetary for what it was - an Islamophobic hate crime wembleymatters.blogspot.com/2025/04/poli...

Proud that @greenparty.org.uk is standing up against #Genocide and #Apartheid - no compromise with complicity. Support for BDS is a long-established Green Party policy - more important with the present horrendous Israeli Government policy in Gaza and the West Bank than ever.

Some of us are members of both organisations as well as the Green Party Trade Union Group. Greens Organise are still working on their political positions while GL have long promoted eco-socialism. All very promising.

Get behind the current @PSCUpdates BDS campaign targeting Coca Cola and its other brands as well as the ongoing Barclays campaign.

No problem. It is going to be a vital election, especially for those on the ecosocialist left of the Green Party.

Here we go again, adaptation as the solution - even though IPCC says clearly that there are hard and soft limits to adaptation, so we have to reduce emissions. Not to say that we don't need to adapt, but it is not an alternative. The US is knowingly being misleading to avoid admitting the science.

This graphic shows four line graph time series and each are monthly from January 1984 through 2025. The first graph is a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data. The second graph is monthly carbon dioxide abundance. The CO2 graph is the Keeling Curve. Current levels are 427 ppm. The third graph is monthly global methane abundance. Current levels are 1943 ppb. The fourth graph is monthly global nitrous oxide abundance. Current levels are 338 ppb. The three greenhouse gases show seasonal cycles and long-term increasing trends using data from NOAA ESRL. The global mean surface temperature anomaly record also exhibits decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend. All graphs are rising and shown in four different colors, including white, yellow, orange, and pink.

Congratulations @carladenyer.bsky.social

Background image of tanks on a green overlay with white text reading “£670 billion for the war machine, cuts for you and me” with a white greens organise logo in the bottom left hand corner.

While older people freeze in their homes from cuts to winter fuel and schools continue to struggle with lack of funding, Reeves magically finds obscene amounts of cash for the arms dealers.

Their system is working. Just not for you or me.

Spoke to @uvwunion.bsky.social: union for migrant workers on how expensive it is just to survive.

And followed with the brilliant @patmillsuk.bsky.social on how taxing the super rich can help to tackle the inequality destroying our country.

Coming soon!
