Throwing a civil servant under the bus will not distract from the fact that the PM asked no questions about Mandelson's vetting, that his office did not even want to conduct vetting, or that he made an outrageous error of judgement in appointing Mandelson in the first place.
The PM must resign.
Let's make sure they know they get #VoteGreen and #GetGreen right across the capital and far beyond!
The govt's move to decouple the price of electricity from the price of gas needs to be done right. If it’s voluntary, people’s bills may not decrease by as much as hoped. Reeves didn’t take up my invitation to send her @cmmonwealth.bsky.social's report – I’m going to send it anyway
Looking forward to joining @southwarkgp.bsky.social on Saturday on the #GetGreensElected - #VoteGreen trail: that will be just 12 days out from the election!

Wonderful tale of animal innovation, and food for thought: "if a disabled animal can innovate its way to success, well-intentioned interventions like prosthetics might not always improve their quality of life."
So much to #Unlearn about non-human animals

Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ From Natalie Bennett, Green Peer, House of Lords, London SW1, UK Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ on x (opens in a new window) Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ on facebook (opens in a new window) Letter: A harsher view of economic ‘resilience’ on linkedin (opens in a new window) Share Save Pro Features Configuration current progress 38% Published20 HOURS AGO 9 Print this page Martin Wolf says “the mix of chaotic politics and a resilient economy can’t last” (Opinion, April 15). No one could question the former label, but what about the latter? Can you really call a global economy resilient in which 363mn people are at risk of acute hunger, according to the World Food Programme, while 826mn people live on less than $3 a day, according to the World Bank, where economic activities have driven us over seven of the nine planetary boundaries as identified by the Stockholm Resilience Centre? Or in the UK, where housing is unaffordable in most of the country, young graduates are loaded with debt with few job prospects and 1.9mn reported in work-related ill health, while our intelligence agencies report lack of food security is an acute threat? We need economic systems that meet people’s needs, that leave no one behind, that don’t trash our planet and ensure we are providing a liveable future for coming generations. That’s what resilience looks like. And it is not just Donald Trump’s fault that we are nowhere near that. Natalie Bennett Green Peer, House of Lords, London SW1, UK
My letter in today's Financial Times. What does a truly resilient economy look like?
Surely it has to be preserving - or enhancing - Earth's systems on which we are entirely dependent, and ensuring a secure life for people?

Any wonder popularity of English lit courses is collapsing?
"In 2024 only 5% of students across England and Wales studied a whole text by a female author at GCSE, while even fewer studied one by an author of colour"

"The company added that comparisons to the Post Office scandal are “wholly inappropriate”."
Hmmm... dominance of a handful of multinational companies having huge damaging effects on economy and society

It was great to meet and chat with Tom Walker — better known as Jonathan Pie on social media.
I asked him what drives his famous rants about the government, and he asked me a couple of questions about the House of Lords and the Green Party.

Tony Blair’s influence has been continuing to shape government thinking, from enthusiasm for so-called artificial intelligence to key appointments.
The government must be transparent about who is shaping decisions and whose interests are being served.

Great to join @newhamgreens.bsky.social and so many of their great candidates on the #VoteGreen trail yesterday.
Green mayors in London! Hope and a plan

Frozen in time and chilling - the denizens of Victoria Dock as I joined @newhamgreens.bsky.social on the #LE2026 election trail this morning. Sun shining on the #VoteGreen message!
“It does not help children as much as the state, and we need to democratically set its limits, and demand accountable oversight and safeguards.”
All concerns expressed as government was pushing this through.

Bio-precipitation cycle with fungi: "As wind kicks up, their ice-making proteins are launched into the clouds. They act as powerful "seeds".

Recorded Politics London on Friday - council tax, potholes libraries and renters’ rights.
I’ll be out door knocking with @londonygs.bsky.social so won’t be watching live.
Vision zero takes account of everyone being capable of making mistakes, and the system takes account of that so a mistake by a child crossing a road or by someone driving along it does not result in death or injury. Hence road rules like speed limits.

Lots of people with Vote Green posters
Great day with @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social getting out the #VoteGreen message - and talking #GreenThinking. Thanks Matt Farrow for the pics!
