Time and time again we hear govt ministers condemn Israel's flagrant breaches of international law but take no real action. This is simply not enough.

Ban settlement trade, stop all arms sales to and military cooperation with Israel, and pursue investigations into war crimes.

In tears reading comments on Instagram about the headteacher who was killed by a driver whilst riding his bike in Manchester. Dozens and dozens of heartfelt messages from his ex-pupils who say what a wonderful teacher and role model he was.

Despite all the likes, literallys and dropped g’s, English isn’t decaying before our eyes Throughout the history of the language, what has been considered ‘bad’ speech often becomes ‘proper.’ You just have to give it time.

Nice explanation of descriptivist linguistics and a great style model for P2Q4.

CATL claims 6-minute charge and 1,500km range for new electric vehicle batteries Chinese group also slashes charging time in race against BYD for electric vehicle battery supremacy

1500km charge in 6 minutes!! “The boundaries of electrochemistry are still far from being reached, and the possibilities of materials science are still far from being exhausted" - Robin Zeng, CATL founder

Still think its all subsidies & copycat & no science or innovation?

More than 400 women have been arrested for pregnancy‑related charges since Roe was overturned. Meanwhile, not a single man in America has faced charges from the Epstein files. If you feel like the scales aren’t balanced, you’re not imagining it. Keep resisting.

Together with @friends-earth.bsky.social and @pscupdates.bsky.social, I have handed in petitions signed by over 40,000 people against the Government's sinister proposals that would give police new powers to restrict repeat protest.

Greens will always defend the democratic right to protest.

Orban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.

Good luck to all Green Party members and candidates campaigning for the upcoming elections. This time last year the Green Party would have been listed under "others" in the opinion polls, what a journey they have been on?! #VoteGreen 🗳️

Keep up the good fight. Are you able to extend the advertising policies in Sheffield (believe I saw something from Ad Free Cities a couple of years ago) to create a presumption against new advertising installations?

"New poll from Lord Ashcroft shows Reform no longer out in front - tied on 21% with Greens & Tories, with Labour just behind.
Not a ‘Labour poll’ or ‘Green poll’. Ashcroft is right wing & always has been. Even his company now thinks the Reform lead is evaporating"
via Reform are not your friends

Extreme climate outcomes could still occur with just 2 °C of global warming Moderate global warming creates a risk of climate impacts that are more severe than the most-likely impacts of high global warming.

We model the average. Reality delivers the extremes…

Low-probability, high-impact scenarios at 2C can rival typical impacts at 3–4C

Key risks: Crop failures, extreme rainfall and flooding, increased wildfires

Key lesson: plan for the extremes, not the mean

Bbc article comparing different response from Zack Polanski to Nigel Farage to the attack on the ambulances.

Bbc article comparing different response from Zack Polanski to Nigel Farage to the attack on the ambulances.

And this is an exact reminder of why we must stand against both Antisemitism and Islamophobia.

The cynical forces who seek to divide our communities must never win.

We will stand together.

Image shows Rosamund Adoo-Kiss-Debrah sat next to Sian with a copy of Ella's Law on the table in front of them. They are both reading the Bill that is named in memory of Rosamund's daughter Ella who died aged nine due to exposure to air pollution.

Ella’s Law has been published 👏

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.
