Excited to share short version of Episode 1 of my podcast series - Government refusal to release the full version of the Joint Intelligence Committee Report on ecosystem collapse is unforgivable - how do we prepare for threats when their full extent is hidden from us? www.google.com/search?q=you...
Happy Birthday Sir David We won’t protect what we don’t love & we won’t love what we don’t know Thank you for enabling us to know & love this precious planet even more deeply The greatest tribute we could pay is to act on that love - and to protect & restore the earth while there’s still time 💚
📣Election Day! Polling stations are open! Your chance to vote for amazing Green councillors who have just 2 vested interests - your local community and your environment. Make hope normal again & Vote Green💚 (& remember to take photo ID to the polling station!)
History shows that when we change our perspective, we change our hearts and our policy. It's time to see the big picture again. #SeeTheBigPicture #ArtemisII #NASA #EarthDay
A brilliant day campaigning for the fab @greenpartyhan.bsky.social with vital support from greyhounds Olive, Forrest, Judy & Will 😊 Hundreds of Greens out on the doors - and every conversation matters. The next few days will be critical - please do come & join if you can @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social
A brilliant day on the doorsteps of Gorton & Denton, ending with a very special iftar with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social & the amazing canvassing teams @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk 💚🌻💚
Looking forward to conversation with @adamramsay.bsky.social on why, at a time of rising populism, we urgently need more diverse & inclusive stories of national identity - please join us if you can @makehopepossible.bsky.social
Thanks to amazing team who came canvassing in Denton with me today - we had a lot of fun & fab reception on the doorsteps 🙂. And if anyone is still (weirdly) thinking of voting Labour - one more Labour backbencher will make no difference - the first Green MP from Manchester would be transformative 💪
Please join us and help make history at the Gorton and Denton by-election! 💚. We have a brilliant candidate, Hannah Spencer, we have momentum and we have a vital message - that the politics of hope *can* win over the politics of hate. We can win this! @mcrgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk
Great reception to Green message on the doorsteps of Denton & at Longsight Market - voting Greens is clearly seen as best way to stop the hate-filled politics of Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Bumping into the Guardian’s @johnharris1969.bsky.social was an added bonus 🙂
The world as we knew it has gone. But we can influence what comes next. Rejoining the EU is no longer an academic issue nor a decision borne of nostalgia. It’s a matter of political necessity Me with Dominic Grieve for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social @europeanmovement.co.uk ▶️ buff.ly/YvqAyV8
Looking forward to speaking at @bennett-innovate.bsky.social 2026 symposium on economics & energy - looks like it will be a lively debate! Register: bennettinstitutesussex.org/stories/2026... @sovacool.bsky.social
Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast
Powerful morning of gut-punching presentations on true gravity of #climate & nature emergency from leading scientists speaking at packed #nationalemergencybriefing. Overwhelmingly clear we can only make the necessary green transition if social justice & equity are at its heart
Hugely disappointing, with world now on track to yet more heating & chaos, & poorest hit first & hardest. This process needs radically rethinking - meantime it’s vital that the Brazil-led coalition of the willing urgently delivers on plans to leave fossil fuels in the ground #COP30
Looking forward to chatting about my book #AnotherEngland at the forthcoming Folkestone book festival - exploring issues of national identity, meaning & belonging feels more important than ever👇
That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership
Really enjoyed chatting with @rory-stewart.bsky.social about his brilliant new book #Middleland - a hymn to the beauty of Cumbria, testament to the spirit of its people & powerful call for democratic reform - oh & we covered a new role for the EU & the horror of Trump too @intelligence2.bsky.social
The war on drugs clearly isn’t working. We need an urgent review of the 50 year old Misuse of Drugs Act, & to start treating drug addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one, & get drugs out of the hands of criminal gangs #Newsnight
Making the case for wealth taxes on @SkyNewsPolitics just now. Rumours that Chancellor might seek yet more spending cuts are horrifying - public services are already on their knees & top 50 richest families in UK now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population - over 34 million people.
Thanks to my fab panel @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @elliechowns.bsky.social Naomi Luhde Thompson for making such a powerful case against Government assault on communities & natural world thro its planning “reforms” - the real housing crisis is one of affordability not planning #gpconf
Brilliant speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social - investing in climate, stopping the boats thro safe & legal routes, introducing a wealth tax on the very wealthiest, challenging privatisation, building community & spreading a #PoliticsOfHope @greenparty.org.uk #gpconf
.@TheGreenParty now has more members than ever before. In these dangerous times, people are desperate for a party that speaks truth to power, has courage of its convictions & will take on the far Right. There's never been a better time to join our movement join.greenparty.org.uk
✅ I've voted- have you? 💚 Don't forget to vote in the Green Party leadership elections 🗓 Just a few days to go!
The snake oil salesman got his way once - the result was a disaster. Don’t let him do it again
Honoured to speak at today’s rally in #Nagasaki on 80th anniversary of US dropping nuclear bomb which killed over 70,000 by the end of 1945 & tens of thousand more since then. Shamefully our own Government continues to drive nuclear proliferation, making the world more dangerous @cnduk.bsky.social
One quick thing to do to help keep us all #SAFER from impacts of climate breakdown? Please sign & share @climatemajority.bsky.social petition urging government to invest more in #climate adaptation. 100,000 signatures triggers likely debate in parliament 🤞 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
📣It’s today! Good luck to everyone coming to the #MassLobby of Parliament for a greener, fairer, healthier future. Remember, 89% of people want stronger action on climate #WeAreTheMajority Look forward to seeing you there!#ActNowChangeForever
When ministers talk about “tough decisions”, it’s usually code for doing something really bad to people who’re already struggling. No-one voted Labour expecting them to push more disabled people into poverty, to slash foreign aid or be complicit in Gaza genocide. Me for #bbcaq👇
