Delighted to go on BBC Politics South yesterday and talk about the @righttoroam.bsky.social amongst other things.
Sweden has had this law of “public access to land” for decades, Scotland introduced it in 2003, its time we did the same in England.

Today Reform UK are defending a seat in their chaotic Kent Council.
Here’s why they are defending their seat:
'Nasty' councillor jailed for coercive behaviour

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback.
Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project.
America is fed up with data centers.
In the BlueSky tradition of 'here's a nice thing but here's how it's problematic':
Is Attenborough right to claim that gardens in England cover a greater area than all of our National Nature Reserves?
Technically, yes: but I think it’s a misleading comparison that lets government off the hook...1/
“Every year, we unleash this scourge on the countryside. It’s messing with the ecology.”
Delighted to see David Attenborough’s new series will tackle pheasants, and how landowners release millions of them each year!
(The words are from Attenborough’s producer)

This April, some of England's largest landowners are obliged to publish estate management plans, through being members of the National Estate for Nature.
The privately-owned Clinton Devon Estate has published its plan early, and it looks really good: 1/

In case there was any doubt that Reform loathe nature & rewilding, here’s Richard Tice opposing the new land use framework and saying:
“We should be maximising food production, not subsidising productive land to sit idle.”
Reform would be a disaster for nature. They need to be utterly defeated.
The NUJ has welcomed confirmation of a funding settlement for the BBC World Service while calling on the government to secure its long-term future.

Dr Amir Khan on Bold Politics with Zack Polanski 👇
The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England.
I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/

By no means the end of the astonishing inequity in English land ownership, but a big old step change in transparency (and let’s hope, accountability) and the toppling of a significant obstacle to nature protection and restoration. Simply incredible work by @guyshrubsole.bsky.social
🤑The Electoral Commission confirmed Reform received another £3M crypto donation from ex-pat Andrew Harborne, based in Thailand.
The Green Party won't be found at the bank of dark money. We're grassroots-funded. We can't be bought.

Have the legitimate concerns of local residents in #CrowboroughSussex about a Home Office plan to house asylum seekers in a local military camp been hijacked by far-right elements? We publish an account by one woman of the abuse that she suffered when supporting a Stall of Kindness in the town
There’s a legally binding target to achieve 16.5% woodland cover in England by 2050 🌳
#Ancient tells us why protecting the trees we’ve treated so carelessly is no idealistic luxury. As our ancestors knew far better than us, we can’t survive without them.

Now watch the billionaire media throw all the dirt it can at the Greens, who could thwart its dream of a Farage government.
Sounds good. ❤️💚
A Jeremy Corbyn-led #YourParty will work with the #GreenParty and others to push for a “coordinated left-flank offensive” against Reform and Labour, the Guardian understands.

The Green surge is here. 🔼🌿
Incredible to see so many of our volunteers out leafletting today, people coming together wanting something different.
Thank you to each and every one of you, this is what local powered politics looks like.💪💚
Trevor Philips, "This is not a country where people get thrown in jail for the things that they say"
Zack Polanski, "We're spiralling down that road. 2,700 arrested for opposing a genocide"
Privatisation:
Steal from us something we own.
Sell us back an inferior service at a higher price.
What’s not to like?
In addition to the Post Office, there is the railways, water, electricity, gas, the NHS, public services…
⚖️ A judicial review of protest group Palestine Action’s proscription has found it both unlawful and disproportionate.
💣 It turns out the only ones acting illegally were those failing to prevent genocide.
🟢 Worthing Green Party continue to fight. Labour Government continues to sell arms to Isreal 🔴
