Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.
Thinking of the women of Afghanistan. Suffering so much

Students, graduates, friends and family: here's a chance to tell the government what you think about their unfair plans for student loan repayments 👇
Let's see if we can force another U-turn...
All Disabled people should be legally able to speed up to "running" or "cycling"-equivalent speeds to get out of danger, whatever mobility devices we're using, at all times of day and night, and wherever we are travelling.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Ella’s Law has been published 👏
No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.
My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.
We've just hit 215,000 members.
More than 2,000 people a day have joined us since our historic win in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Come and be a part of the movement which is making hope normal again. Join us 👇
I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants
With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive £2.7bn per year in tax breaks

Trafford budget: £12m EFS & 7.5%ct⬆️
"A #Labour government that lived up to its name would be working day and night to tackle this inequality."
Why did @traffordlabour.bsky.social not even attempt to respond to @greenparty.org.uk criticisms? No one from Labour defended their own government!
Interesting negative voting intention data - Reform +9% in *un*popularity.
Today’s Spring Statement comes at the same time as skyrocketing oil and gas prices, following Trump’s strikes on Iran. Meanwhile, unemployment is forecast to climb to 5.3%.
There is something the UK Government could do that would help...
Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.
This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.
And we're making hope normal again - together.

Aha - Keep going past on the bus and couldn't tell what it was from that distance.
tell you what lads, maybe getting ourselves off gas and oil wasn't such a bad idea after all
It's Day 1 of our 7-day #AirPollution challenge.
Thanks to everyone who signed up to take part - we're looking forward to the week ahead!
Today, we're kicking off with a super-easy social media share to help raise awareness of the need for more action on air pollution. #CleanAirCrowd
Dieselgate should be history by now, yet it's an ongoing health scandal.
Between 2009 & 2024 excess diesel emissions caused a staggering:
🚗 16,000 premature deaths, &
🚗 30,000 cases of asthma in children.
We need dirty diesels off our roads. Sign today! bit.ly/m4l-diesel-p...

This is on my long "Why is no one talking about this?" list. As usual, @greenparty.org.uk folks are though. Thanks to @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social for being one of the few speaking up.
Confused about Green Party drug policy? Here's a good overview.
Asusual, Greens are leading on the way, having the difficult conversations and proposing serious policies that will save people's lives and reduce crime.
Green Party drugs policy isn't about being soft on drugs. It's about being smart on drugs.
Take the market out of criminal hands. Make drug use safer when it happens. Get people help when they need it. Focus police on the traffickers causing real harm.
History made 💚
Hannah Spencer is the first Green MP in the North of England, and it happened because people stepped up and got involved.
✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿💚
Congratulations to Hannah Spencer!
We were pleased to hear Hannah speak about #AirPollution in her acceptance speech. As a candidate, she committed to working to clean up the air for GM's children, and we look forward to working with her as an MP on this. 👏
We are not an island of strangers.
So much great work! If you'd like to be part of the next push: join.greenparty.org.uk
