The US and other governments derailed an agreement on a global environment study, its co-chair says.
Not acknowledging the facts doesn't make problems go away, they worsen.

Screenshot of a Tory Fibs post reporting how just one multi millionaire donated Β£9 million to Reform whereas 175,000 people donated Β£4 million to the Greens.
Contrast one super-rich donor to Reform with the multiple small donations to the Greens. Tories and Labour have #superrich donors too. The domination of politics and economics by the wealthy needs to end. Start by capping #donations to any political party at Β£50,000.

Image is a screenshot of a motion by Andy McDonald MP. It reads: To move, that this House insists on its disagreement with the Lords in their Amendments 23 and 106 to 120. It has been signed by all four Green MPs.
Green MPs strongly oppose the Lords amendments to the Employment Rights Bill.
With no half-measures, workerβs rights must be strengthened.
This important Bill must not be watered down.

Labours green attacks are misfiring.
Keir Starmers dismissal of the insurgent party as nuts won't work.
Why are Labours attacks misfiring?
Because Labour support genocide.
Labour protect the power & wealth of the super rich.
And all they do is attack the Green Party.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
