And yet we hear growing numbers of voices calling to scale back on Net Zero and other pointed measures to halt this man-made emergency #climatechange #netzero #thegreens @greenparty.org.uk @greenpeace.eu

The planet has reached its first catastrophic climate tipping point.

160 scientists from 23 countries warn that unless global heating is cut to 1.2°C as fast as possible, warm-water coral reefs will vanish “at any meaningful scale.”

The science is clear: We need to act now.

If you weren't on the dole under Thatcher, it's difficult to explain just how offensive it was to tell three million unemployed people to 'get on their bikes'

Unions, bankers, millionaires, 75% percent of the public and many more support taxing wealth fairly.

The Green Party has long supported fixing our unfair tax system.

With the inequality gap growing ever wider, now is the time for Labour to listen to the people and tax wealth fairly.

We are concerned that the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s new draft guidance makes it harder for organisations to be trans inclusive and could even increase suspicion and policing of people’s gender expression.

I turned down the chance to go (mate got a tix) - the line up & approach was not to my 1985 tastes (not heavy, dark, lefty or alternative enough - at that time I was enjoying diverse highlights such as Chameleons, Play Dead, SoM & Metallica) so going was both a political & cultural affront.

The Children's Commissioner insists the two-child benefit limit must be scrapped because children are living in “almost Dickensian levels of poverty”.

Child poverty is a political choice and Labour should choose to scrap the cruel limit and lift 500,000 children out of poverty right now.

We support the children’s commissioner’s call for cross-departmental action. Her report includes a number of interesting recommendations and we have long called for the government to introduce auto-enrolment for free meals to ensure no child misses out.

Israel's genocidal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting Donald Trump today in Washington.

He is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court. He shouldn't be globetrotting. He should be arrested and put on trial.
