Great response on the doorsteps in Holborn & St Pancras this evening - more & more people recognising that @zackpolanski.bsky.social will make a brilliant local MP. One more Labour backbencher changes nothing - the best way to make this Labour government braver, bolder & better is to #VoteGreen

Climate breakdown is a national security threat. Nature loss puts our food, water, health, economy and stability at risk. The Government no longer has the luxury of time. We need urgent action and a dedicated Climate Protection Unit. We need a Number 10 for the future.

The Suffolk County Council Green Group have called for the Climate Emergency Declaration to be reinstated by the Reform-led council following the devastation caused by the wildfire on Dunwich Heath. Full story: midsuffolk.greenparty.org.uk/2026/07/31/g... #Dunwich #ClimateEmergency #Suffolk
Graphic with a dark, smoky painting of a wildfire across heathland. White text reads: “The wildfire at Dunwich Heath makes it abundantly clear that Suffolk, like the rest of world, is indeed experiencing a climate emergency.” The quote is attributed to Annette Dunning, Green County Councillor for Halesworth, Suffolk County Council Green Party Group Spokesperson for Communities, and Green Party Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.

If I had the time, I would write a letter to Nigel Farage saying how humans are the direct cause of the climate crisis, and scrapping net zero will make heats like this and these wildfires across the continent normal. We need to stop reform from touching the House of Commons.

The Govt's response to the NEB / Chris Packham Petition answers the question, 'Is the Govt aware of these risks?' Crucially, it does not answer the question 'How do we ensure the public is aware of them?' #NationalEmergencyBriefing

Well said @adrianramsay.bsky.social - The Govt really needs to ramp up it's response to the effects of Climate Change. The local screenings of The National Emergency Briefing #PEBuk are very important and will hopefully achieve their aim of getting a Govt produced, televised action plan.
