Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇
“Greens who were long dismissed as “idealistic” & “unrealistic” now look like hard-headed pragmatists & true patriots. They’re years ahead of their rivals in demanding a transition that makes sense on every level: environmental, economic & political” - great article from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👇
Headline: Richard Tice’s firm broke law by failing to pay £91,000 taxes
Morally completely indefensible.
Farage should sack Richard Tice immediately.
Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating.
Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.
If Keir Starmer lied about Peter Mandelson’s vetting, he has to go.
Labour promised to clean up our politics now they're just as bad as the Conservatives
The PM says the facts about Peter Mandelson’s appointment are “incredible”.
He’s right. But what’s truly shocking is just how badly he's let the country down. He promised change after years of Conservative scandals and scapegoating. Instead, he’s delivered more of the same.
Tonight MPs will vote on the govt's latest attempt to crack down on the right to protest - this time through restricting recurrent protests.
Myself and fellow Green MPs will be voting against these plans; peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and must be defended.
Quote from Ed Davey which reads: “This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world. Donald Trump is making wilder and increasingly concerning threats by the hour. “If Trump follows through with this, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament. The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now. “MPs must be given a chance to hold the Government to account and prevent the UK from being complicit in war crimes and breaches of international law.”
If Trump follows through with his wilder and increasingly concerning threats, Keir Starmer must immediately recall Parliament.
The Prime Minister must also withdraw US access to UK bases now.
This is a grave and era-defining moment for the world.
Israel's continued strikes in Lebanon are undermining any hope of peace.
The UK must act now: sanction Benjamin Netanyahu and his security cabinet, and halt all UK arms exports to Israel.
We must also finally proscribe the IRGC and support multilateral plans to disarm Hezbollah.
Looking forward to it
#Reparations - essential to building a secure world.
Yes also, "a pathway to healing and reparative justice” and “a safeguard against forgetting”.

Glyphosate: “The government urgently needs to commit to phase out – and ultimately ban – glyphosate and support farmers and local councils to adopt safe and sustainable alternatives.”
Yes, yes and yes

The #ClimateEmergency and #NatureCrisis are intimately interlinked

A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials.
As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation
Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.
Is the #climate movement is missing something by treating adaptation as a secondary concern?
Have you read this new discussion paper, a joint project with Social Change Lab's Cathy Rogers? I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I've spent years arguing we need to face climate reality honestly. This paper argues a key step is adaptation. Done strategically and by communities, it could be the movement's most powerful tool.

‘Entrepreneur’ Ben Delo, who was pardoned by Donald Trump after pleading guilty to financial crime & now backs Nigel Farage, explains in the Daily Telegraph that he hates ‘lying politicians’ because he is autistic.
Nothing says “I cannot cope with lying politicians” like backing, er, Nigel Farage and, um… ‘In 2022, Delo pleaded guilty to a United States Bank Secrecy Act violation and received a 30-month probation sentence. In 2025, Delo was pardoned by President Donald Trump.’
I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.
Pick a favourite. I’ll start:
Boris Johnson.
Do read the full document linked here. These ghouls are increasingly Trumpian in their contempt for the truth…
Daily Mail front page attacking Keir Starmer for Donald Trump’s disgusting behaviour…
This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.
Impressive so far. A refusal to be bullied into an illegal war by a mad US President should unite the nation. But Brexit Britain is, of course, not a normal nation.
The government must finally proscribe the IRGC as terrorists.
Antisemitism and those who fuel it have no place in our society.
Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.
A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.
Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡
“Elon Musk’s Tesla given go-ahead to supply electricity in Great Britain.” A subheading underneath says: “Ofgem licence means firm can replicate Texas setup of powering homes, businesses and EVs.”
Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.
We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.
BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking UK agrees to let US use British bases to strike Iranian sites targeting Strait of Hormuz Follow live:
Starmer’s decision risks repeating the mistakes of Iraq, and follows Donald Trump down a slippery slope.
While Badenoch and Farage cheer this on, it is British households who are paying the price.
