I visited the waste recycling centre in Leeds a few months ago
I saw waste that could be exported or buried, being sorted, sifted, processed, ready to be transformed into something useful

The material that couldn't be recycled was turned into high-end aggregate

Britain missing out on potential £2bn recycling industry by exporting plastic waste

Exclusive: Government failure to close loophole allows 600,000 tonnes to be shipped elsewhere each year

This proves that everytime the Greens get publicity we gain members. Let's go out there and get more good press.

Eurovision is a peace building project. It’s brought countries across the continent in celebration.

That’s why Russia was kicked out. It’s why Israel has to be kicked out.

We can’t let a song competition whitewash war crimes, apartheid and genocide.

Real patriotism

The Green Party of England & Wales @greenparty.org.uk · Sep 15

"There's people who will cook food in their own homes and take it out and feed people who are less fortunate... That's patriotism. That's love for your community. And that's standing up for British values."

Get yourselves to the Stop Trump protest on Weds. We refuse to normalise the far right and its cruelty toward minorities. The below video should terrify you. In it, I play a newsreader in a future where a Trump/Farage-like figure is Prime Minister in the UK. A chilling notion.

Stop Trump Coalition @ukstoptrump.bsky.social · Sep 14

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

"How long until Mandelson ends up in a high-paid consultancy somewhere? While another washed-up former Westminster insider ends up in Washington?"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the resignation of Peter Mandelson, appointed by Keir Starmer as ambassador to the US.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

“Starmer’s instinct was to stand by Peter Mandelson, despite the evidence. His resignation now isn’t a matter of principle; it’s simple political expediency. It’s a symbol of a broken politics where the same insiders always fail up.

His resignation, like his original appointment, is a sign of a dirty, broken political system.”

I’m walking 100k in September for every much-loved baby sadly not here today. Anything you’re able to donate truly means so much – I’m only £147.95 off my target. Thank you
