Get a life. In fact, get some opinions of your own and not just regurgitate whatever dog shit the Sun pumps out verbatim.

Oh, I see. I'd honestly be surprised if Adrian even sought re-election.

Green deputy launches leadership bid with UK โ€˜eco-populismโ€™ vision Exclusive: Surprise challenger Zack Polanski says party can learn from success of Nigel Farage and Reform UK

While I'm not involved in any political party, I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social's analysis is correct. Thanks to Labour's multiple, infuriating failures, the Greens could become huge here, but only if they are bolder, more assertive and, yes, "eco-populist". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We need bold leadership. Now.

That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party.

Yeah, totally. His stock wasn't particularly high even before those comments.

I get the confusion with the co-leader thing. I'd sooner have a single leader and co-deputies tbh.

More than 100 landfills in England may be leaching โ€˜highly hazardousโ€™ waste Inadequate record keeping means councils do not know whether former waste sites contain toxic substances

I'm seeing & hearing of issues with contaminated land all over the country.

Last week in Runcorn & Helsby, met a farmer working on contaminated land.

In London, on old gas works sites have met many people with toxic air where developers cut corners.

Krappโ€™s Last Tape review โ€“ Gary Oldmanโ€™s arresting one-man Beckett is a startling piece of theatre Oldman gives an emotional encounter with his past selves as he single-handedly directs, set-designs and performs Samuel Beckettโ€™s existential monologue

"Krappโ€™s Last Tape review โ€“ Gary Oldmanโ€™s arresting one-man Beckett is a startling piece of theatre"

I would so love to see this play.

There's a process underway within the party that is moving into an unapologetically left populist space. It isn't yet hegemonic but the internal momentum is with us. There's also l'ship elexs this summer and AR's slim chances of reelection probably gave up the ghost with his comments this week.

I've seen & heard many things today in Runcorn & Helsby.

Any one of them should make you angry - before you put them all together.

Voting for @greenparty.org.uk is a vote against the huge inequality that is destroying lives & a hugely positive vote for your community for change.

Keir Starmer says welfare spending is "unsustainable".

The reality is welfare spending has been 10-12% of GDP for the last 15 years.

A lot of people who voted for Labour are like "I didn't vote for this" and you did actually. I didn't, because I didn't vote Labour, because I knew they'd do this. I'm neither psychic nor a political genius.

New @thecccuk.bsky.social carbon budget shows urgent demand management of flying is needed. How can this possibly happen if Gov insists on rampant airport expansion?

The report shows public support for a frequent flier levy and limiting expansion.

#Gatwick decision up next, will Labour listen?

WEDNESDAY MORNING

The expert independent committee on climate change:

You need to reduce demand on flying.

THURSDAY MORNING

The Government:

Let's expand Gatwick.

NOW
