Global allegiances have shifted and the UK must change too History warns us of the pitfalls when political alliances change suddenly: the UK must consider its options in the new security landscape

A reflection I wrote @yorkshirebylines.co.uk early last year

😅 Rosstat announced a return to industrial growth a week after Putin's demand to halt the economic downturn.

Russian industrial growth returned to growth in March, Rosstat reported. After a 0.9% decline in January and 0.8% in February, industrial production increased by 2.3% year-on-year.

Gaza’s yellow line creeps forward as Israeli forces expand zone of control

Residents waking to find line has moved overnight and they are now in free-fire zone as army takes more territory

Oh, but didn’t @theguardian.com tell us that @greenparty.org.uk is distancing from its eco-roots? 🤔 🙄

It’s rubbish of course. #EarthDay 🌍🌳💚

Temporary accommodation linked to deaths of 104 children in England in six years Calls for ‘urgent, sustained action’ over rising number of children who do not have permanent home

Temporary accommodation (TA) linked to deaths of 104 children, 76 under the age of one, in England in 6 years.

135,000 households living in TA, including 176,000 children.

Low wages/benefits, no curbs on profiteering, poor housing, lack of social housing.

Cruelty inflicted by political choices.

If independent reviewers can see the benefits of a committee system, why does govt want to impose the less cooperative leader and cabinet system on councils?

@zoefranklinld.bsky.social & I were dumbfounded.

Last night @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against this top-down control of local government.

New report highlights Bristol City Council’s progress and ambition

Green-led @bristolcouncil.bsky.social received a glowing peer review from @local.gov.uk this month. It specifically noted how moving to a committee system has strengthened democratic engagement and transparency.

But the Labour govt wants to stop all of that…

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this.

At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government.

Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

A black-and-white cartoon depicts a post-apocalyptic scene where a man in tattered business attire sits around a small campfire with three children amidst a barren, dark landscape with the faint, jagged silhouettes of a ruined city in the background. The man, gesturing with one hand, looks toward the children as he delivers the caption below the illustration: “Yes, billionaires took over our media, co-opted democracy, and destroyed our planet. But we had some great Earth Day celebrations.”

Happy Earth Day, everyone!

For Earth Day, our friends at @revealnews.org are bringing you three interviews with environmental leaders and activists.

Labour Party have been sabotaged by the Labour Together lobby group, who chose Starmer to be their puppet.

His decisions are poor since he is not making them.

Ultimately tho' starmer should go because he says UK is not supporting tRump against Iran when evidence suggests we are deeply complicit.

YouGov today on new modelling on London elections:

"Councils where Labour and the Greens are both within five points of each other: Brent, Ealing, Hackney, Haringey, Hounslow, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham and Waltham Forest."

They predict "the Greens could come first in as many as eight councils."

In 2027, London will host a world-first showpiece team time trial for the Tour de France Femmes. It’s a major milestone for women’s sport and an incredible new chapter for cycling in the city 🚴‍♀️

If you really want to see the Green Party have an extraordinary election - then you have to go out and vote.

There's too many close calls where it's Labour Vs Green - time to show Starmer the door and end Rip Off Britain.

The rush to appease Trump led Keir Starmer into this ethical void | Rafael Behr Mandelson’s flaws were mistaken for credentials to represent Britain in the court of a rogue president, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

On the part that Trump appeasement plays - traits that should have disqualified Mandelson were seen as credentials to be emissary at the court of a rogue president www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You cannot build resilience on a system that leaves people unable to afford even three days of food, while relying on fragile, centralised supply chains.

The Green Party believes resilience means a healthy society. It’s time to build one that works for everyone.

absolutely this, well said Zack⬇️

This Green Party election crowdfunder has only been up for three days and already its three-quarters of the way to its target.

The leaflets it is paying for are so good that Labour MPs are stealing them…

A water recycling plant Elon Musk promised to build in Memphis to offset the huge amount of local drinking water Grok's data centre devours has been postponed indefinitely.

Apparently, Musk considers drinking water for local people less of a priority than increasing computing power for Grok👇🏾

Years of tireless campaigning.
