“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News.

Here's some of the leaflets Reform have been putting out ahead of the local elections

700,000 men, women and children forced to leave their homes behind. That's like telling a tenth of London's population to flee. Imagine the fear and distress. Imagine the chaos on the roads.

Netanyahu and Trump are out of control.

At ~$1 billion/day, the US has spent as much on the war in Iran in ten days as the entire FY25 budget for the National Science Foundation ($10 billion).

Trump's FY26 budget request for the agency declined to $3.9 billion, due to a "realignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment."

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

"In the past 24 hours at least 7 Palestinians have been killed.. a journalist has been killed, three children were also killed, this makes the death toll since the beginning of the ceasefire 648..."

Camden Green Party altogether in a park

Barnet big crowd in a circle

Haringey greens holding up vote green signs

So energised by our Saturday tour.

Four boroughs in one day - Southwark, Camden, Barnet and Haringey.

In every space: hundreds and hundreds of volunteers joining our Green Party, ready to make hope normal again.

Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk 💚🙌🏽

And we’re not taking a single vote for granted - we’re committed to working with and for our communities.

Warwickshire County Council's Reform leader faces no confidence vote Warwickshire County Council's George Finch is accused of bringing the authority "into disrepute".

Reform UK Warwickshire leader is facing a vote of no confidence after being accused of bringing the authority into disrepute.

Keir Starmer faces one of his biggest rebellions over jury trial cuts The PM and David Lammy have tried to quell dissent, but dozens of Labour MPs are thought to be ready to vote against plans intended to clear the court backlog

Keir Starmer faces one of his biggest rebellions over jury trial cuts and rightly so.

Labour MPs must see through his outrageously dishonest propaganda pieces and VOTE AGAINST this shameful constitutional vandalism

Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe City officials expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic dis...

"The imminent depletion of water supplies in Corpus Christi threatens to cut off the flow of jet fuel to Texas airports and other oil exports from one of the nation’s largest petroleum ports, triggering potential shockwaves through energy markets in Texas and beyond."

The Hunger Gap A gulf in public understanding prevents us from seeing how and why our food supply is at risk.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Don’t let the anodyne name fool you – this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in our…

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️

Yorkshire Water receives fresh funding despite sewage fines and pay row Private equity group EQT to take 42% stake as supplier faces scrutiny over environmental record and CEO’s pay

Swedish private equity group takes 42% stake in Yorkshire Water.

Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Southern Water, South West Water and Wessex Water gutted by PE.

All have criminal convictions, dump sewage in rivers, profiteer. 90% of England's water is foreign owned.

Expect more looting.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Your occasional reminder that if we’d implemented any of the Green Party’s 2015, 2017 or 2019 General Election manifestos, this would be a lot less of a problem for the UK.

At least this will improve your carbon footprint.

My son was due just before this gig, but he was late (start as you mean to go on in his case) and I managed to grab a last minute ticket.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who came to Southwark this weekend. This lovely lot were out canvassing in St Giles Camberwell bringing a message of hope to the residents @southwarkgp.bsky.social

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.

Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

Polls have closed in the first of this year's five German state elections, in prosperous Baden-Württemberg. It's looking like a remarkable win-from-behind by the Greens under @oezdemir.de. Full results over the course of the evening.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

This is a far bigger fuel, fertilizer, food crisis for Asia and Europe than it is for the US.

US dependence on Persian Gulf oil has almost never been lower
