Farmland bird populations in England have now declined by a staggering 66% since 1970, according to the latest official figures. What's going to turn this around? Not piecemeal grants or trusting in the 'custodians of the countryside', but Landscape Recovery & regulation www.gov.uk/government/s...
Graph from DEFRA's report 'Wild bird populations in the UK and England, 1970 to 2025', published 13th October 2026, showing a two-thirds decline in farmland birds in England and the UK from 1970 to 2025.

40% of *everything being shipped everywhere on Earth* is fossil fuels Just an absolute laughing-stock clown-show of an energy source. This is laughably absurd, why do we treat this like it's normal and good Fossil fuels are a satirical fuel www.irena.org/-/media/File...
Global shipping transports fossil fuels and runs on oil: 40% of shipped products are fossil fuels or derivatives, while 99% of international shipping’s energy demand is met by oil-based fuels.

Reform clearly feel they are on the ropes and are flailing. But the lower they go I feel that fewer punches will land. One trick ponies.

Did I read that correctly? America will “livestream” an execution? How barbaric! What’s wrong with them?

Kemi says it will target the specific threats that this country faces. I’m all for a system that targets the absolute weapons that are out there….especially the ones of voting age.

Britannia Shield FFS. What are they going to be aimed at? Heat pumps and building regulations? Performative politics.

I think we need to recognze & understand the difference between division and debate. The left doesn’t struggle due to internal debate, it struggles due to a wealth based media that predominantly wants to maintain the status quo. The fact that we have played into their hands is frustrating though.

All of the most high profile party members and MPs, other than one of our deputy leaders Mohin Ali, who I have a lot of time for, were against the motion. You can find statements from the likes of Carla Denyer, Ellie Chowns & Siân Berry on here. Zak didn’t vote and has not spoken.

Because clearly Mark the Green Party are antisemitic. It’s why they voted for a Jewish leader and stand against any form of racism. Keep up fella.

The meaning and intent of Zionism is not a hill to impale ourselves on. Our views of this current Israeli government and its words and actions is.

But I don’t understand why, since as a party we have made very clear our stance against the actions of the Israeli government, we have to take a step that could and will intimidate and alienate Jewish members, give the media the lowest of hanging fruits and ultimately achieve nothing?

Well said Carla. This party is a refuge for those that dispise division on any grounds. There will be a knee jerk to this motion which will mostly be media driven. How the party responds is key. A time for cool, calm heads.

I’m torn between my disappointment that conference has passed this and my approval that conference is willing to openly take on such topics. It will cost us, the media will have a field day and turn it into something that I believe it is not. How the party responds moving forward is key.

That £100k “cliff edge” must be petrifying. But don’t forget people who earn six figures do so because they work harder than those who do not and so deserve their benefits and support, whilst those earning less and therefore clearly not working as hard deserve less support. Sickening.

Last June, Andy Burnham was on a platform with Del Naja in support of the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, praising his ‘clarity and leadership’. Today, he’s having Rob arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a piece of paper.

It’s making me giggle listening to BBC Radio 5Live. It’s as if this was the day that football finances have finally been seen to be suspect. Yes, the scale is now next level, but football finances have never been a bastion of honesty, integrity and incorruptibility. Dodgy as. Always has been.

Everyone’s after the “lad” vote currently. Fully expecting the Tories to call for specific beak cubicles in the bogs at the footy. #politicslive

When you confront Conservative Politics with intellectual argument and facts it just falls flat on its arse and can be seen for what it is, dog whistles from an idea black hole Well done to the gentleman from The Jospeh Rowntree Foundation #politicslive

These are volunteers. Go ahead and change it to an organisation that choose to save some and choose to watch others drown and see how many brave patriots step up to the mark to volunteer. Because the current heroes won’t be doing it. Completely unworkable…as most of his button pushing policies are.
