This morning Green MPs attended a critical briefing on the climate and nature crisis.

Climate breakdown threatens our food supply, health and national security but an alternative future is still possible.

If you're looking for something to do in Oldham this saturday, Inclusive Bytes are holding a tech roadshow at Greengate Mosque.

They do great work around digital inclusive and empowering young people. Expect lots of techy activities to entertain and inspire.

💚 Congratulations to John Knight on being elected in Macclesfield Central Ward!

We bow our heads for the millions who served, suffered, and fell during the First World War and in conflicts since.

We remember not just the glory, but the mud, the terror, and the profound, often pointless, suffering. We remember the families shattered and the futures stolen.

Our remembrance is a pledge to see the humanity in one another, to challenge the call to arms, and to strive for a world where such pity is no longer necessary.

Lest we forget.

YouTube video by Oldham Green Party Help us take on the far-right! | A Green Party talk and Q&A with Mothin Ali and special guests.

How can we take on the far-right, unite our communities, find hope, and undo the damage of fifty years of neoliberalism?

The recording of our talk and Q&A - 'Help us take on the far-right' - is on YouTube.

My thoughts are with all affected by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba, and with their loved ones, including countless British families.

With climate breakdown advancing, storms like this will only become more frequent. We must act urgently to prevent further catastrophes.

Hope & Progress vs. Hate & Regression. The choice is ours!

Hear from Green Co-Deputy Leader Mothin Ali on turning solidarity into action.

Politics isn't something you have, it's what you do.

Let's build a better future!

If this ban is lifted, it will be sacrificing public safety for political favour.

Meanwhile, the Islamophobic smears against our local MP are a disgraceful attempt to distract from the real issue. Our focus must remain on condemning violence and hatred in all its forms, without resorting to bigotry.

Barring these individuals is a public safety measure. To claim it's an affront to UK Jews is not only wrong, but as the IHRA definition notes, it's itself a form of antisemitism. It holds all Jews collectively responsible for the actions of a violent few.

The conflation of the Israeli state with Jewish people worldwide is a dangerous tactic. We're now seeing it used to defend a known group of violent football hooligans from Maccabi Tel Aviv, who have a history of causing disruption and spreading racist abuse in European cities.

We should be talking about the statistics, published by Shelter, showing UK child poverty and homelessness are at the highest levels since records began.

Instead, the government and media are performatively complaining about a decision to ban Israeli football hooligans from an Aston Villa match.

We stand with the Jewish community and everyone affected by the horrific attack at the synagogue in Manchester today.

Zack Polanski: “We've seen rising antisemitism for years, as well as rising hate crime more generally. This is about civil society, democracy, and bringing people together.”

Such violence is the inevitable endpoint of rhetoric that promotes racial/cultural purity and the dangerous conflation of British Jews with the actions of the Israeli government.

In the face of such events, we must redouble our efforts to stand united against all forms of hatred and extremism.

While the motive is not yet confirmed, it is crucial to reaffirm that hatred and racial or religious bigotry have no place in our society.

We are saddened and appalled by the violent attack at the Heaton Park Synagogue, and our thoughts are with all those affected, the Jewish community, and the emergency services responding to the incident.

Tonight at sundown marks the beginning of Yom Kippur, the day of atonement and the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

To all observing, may this solemn day of fasting, prayer, and reflection be meaningful.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

The media's overriding right wing agenda has been clear for a long time. On trans rights, on genocide, on any hope of progress.

Polanski has agreed with his arrest in an interview. Others might be wary of rules around contempt.

It's a firm statement. Agree, it remains to be seen what they do with Adnan.

She posted on Facebook and Instagram, she doesn't seem to be very active on Bluesky.

It's in court now and - other than from Labour dangers like Streeting - there has been support of his arrest?

Remember when THERESA MAY(!) blocked him from violating an autistic man's human rights?

Anyone still insisting there's no Labour "right wing"?

They've abandoned the working class, ethnic & LGBTQ+ minorities, Remainers, environmentalists, and they're throwing vulnerable children, OAPs, and the sick to the wolves...

While being performatively racist for people who'll never vote Labour.

Trans rights = human rights.
