Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week, Trump says President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning to meet in the United States, multiple sources tell CBS News.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.

Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

I will continue to sell to the UK & many locations around the world, but I regret that due to changes in tariffs I am forced to cease all sales to the US from 15 Aug.

"No other party can sell radical, progressive policies to such a wide range of voters as we can" ...

"keep our distinctive Green identity"...

πŸ“» Should Greens work with Jeremy Corbyn & Zarah Sultana where there’s common ground? Of course, but we have a distinct political identity & a unique ability to reach out much more broadly – & it’s crucial that we keep that!

Is the Green Party succeeding too slowly? Not from where I’m sitting! 'The strategy we’ve been using has achieved huge results, and in many areas has done this from what was practically a standing start.'

Southern Water applies for permission to draw water from rare chalk stream Environment secretary urged to stop drought order that could damage the ecology of River Test in Hampshire

Southern Water, & regulators, asleep at the wheel on water availability in a changing climate - not reducing leakage enough, or consumer demand

Southern Water now want to commit long-term damage to a rare habitat, taking water from a chalk stream, to plug the gap

Britain is living with the consequences of a broken Brexit deal forced on us by the Conservatives.

We must build a new relationship with Europe to free British business of red tape and supercharge our economy.

Seriously? They have 398 MPs.

Definitely don't declare yourselves eco-populists and try to out-charisma them.

Fight them with the truth about their links to fossil fuels and corporate donors.

Green party members elect new leader: who are the candidates? Whichever candidate emerges at the helm of the Greens will have a defining influence on the shape of any future left-wing alliance.

Not really. We have policies of substance. Eco-populism is the belief that we've been failing to get those policies across to people, and that only one person can do that. That's blatantly not the case, on both counts.

Greens must avoid becoming Corbyn support act, say leader... Greens MPs Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay warn the party not to lose its identity by aligning too closely with Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters.

Greens must keep our distinctive voice β€” social & environmental justice at the core. Recent YouGov polling shows we’re a stronger choice than any Corbyn party. 🌱
