Reform UK has banned some journalists from its annual conference who have reported critically on the party and Nigel Farage. It includes the Guardian’s City editor, Anna Isaac, who uncovered the £5m gift. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.

Amidst the turmoil of our world, I feel a sense of relief. Relief that people are finally waking up to energy security, climate change, social justice and the corruption that for so long has been "the real world". Change is coming. Vote @greenparty.org.uk #green

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Labour say they want to "reset". They want "Starmer to be Starmer". But we will still be disappointed. The PLP is a political machine linked to too many vested interests and self-imposed red lines that restrict their freedom of movement. It's time for change. It's time for @greenparty.org.uk

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

It's a strange phenomenon seen in many countries. Exposure to diversity reduces your fear of diversity. And I don't think it's just to do with encountering "others" on a personal level. I think being confronted with new cultures pulls you out of a rut and expands your horizons in a very healthy way.

The Greens are only 23k away from becoming the third largest party based on membership in the UK. This would see the Green surpass the Conservatives for the first ever time. If you take into account the Scottish Greens, that would leave only 15k away.

Greens have been very successful in Europe since the 1990s. But that never really happened in UK – until now. The unique thing about Greens is that you don't need to have been involved in the party since the youth stage to make a career. Greens welcome newcomers from outside the world of politics!
