Congratulations to Sarah Finch. The Finch Case legal victory deserves the highest honour. We must not allow any future changes to the rules for Environmental Impact Assessments to take away the principle that the impact of extracting fossil fuels includes the climate change consequences of burning.

Green MP: Labour caricatures working-class people over greyhound racing Hannah Spencer says minister ‘continuously offends people by saying working-class people don’t care about dogs’

I agree with Hannah Spencer MP. The gambling industry preys on vulnerable people and animal welfare and the environment also suffer. The racing industry generates huge levels of greenhouse gas emissions but somehow is thought sacrosanct.

Good news for inhabitants of Ho Chi Minh City, and it makes me think that, by comparison, UK is timid on transport.

Labour's housing minister's opposition to rent controls welcomed by the country's largest private landlord.

Who's side are Labour on? Renters or landlords. The answer is here.

A colossal white elephant: Government selects most disruptive and costly option for Heathrow expansion - Aviation Environment Federation On Tuesday 25th of November, the Government announced its selection of Heathrow Airport Limited’s (HAL) proposal as the basis for progressing plans for the third runway project. If approved, this …

Heathrow expansion means more planes, more flight paths and more noise. Over 2 million people could face increased aircraft noise if a 3rd runway is built and many communities are unaware their daily environment could be about to change forever.

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

I agree with Zack Polanski on this - 100%. Hard to understand why it’s not been done already.

We need a permanent, tightened windfall tax to claw back every penny of excess profit being made on this crisis and put it towards supporting households

Average wages in Mid Suffolk are £5,500 lower than the national average.

That is why Cllr Andrew Stringer and Mid Suffolk District Council secured £16 million in funding to build a new skills centre, helping the community to gain skills, access better jobs, and earn higher wages.

It's well past time to do away with Council Tax, a deeply regressive and unfair tax whereby the poorest households end up paying a much larger proportion of their income than the wealthiest do.

I wrote to my MP asking for him to oppose the use of British bases to bomb Iran. I got a reply today in which he supports what he calls defensive strikes. Only the Green Party is saying that bombing Iran from our bases should be banned.

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.

A used bike from a cycle shop can cost less than a tank of fuel, but will last for years and thousands of miles with minimal maintenance.

‘Eye-popping’ levels of carcinogen found in UK gas supply, researchers warn Cancer-causing substance benzene was found in all 72 domestic gas samples collected in the UK, the Netherlands and Italy

They market it as "Natural Gas" but it's a lie.

Gas piped into our homes is a dirty fossil fuel that causes #climatechange and harms our health.

A recent study found #cancer-causing benzene in ALL domestic gas samples collected in the UK, the Netherlands and Italy.

Spain closes airspace to us military over Iran war, widening rift with US

Spain closes airspace to us military over Iran war, widening rift with US

Labour saying Starmer 'keeping Britain out of the war' will be part of their local elections campaign.

But it's untrue. There are 27 US B52s at RAF Fairford, launching bombing raids. Starmer has made Britain part of Trump's war.

He could have just said no, like Spain's PM.
