This is a historic moment: the first time the rights of Nature have entered the UK parliamentary process. The Bill recognises Nature as a legal subject, reorders the hierarchy of rights, creates a duty of care towards Nature and embeds Nature’s rights into UK decision-making across all sectors.

As the cost-of-living crisis pushes households to the brink and climate breakdown places further stress on public services, only the Green Party are pushing for genuine action at the Budget this week.

For 25 years, @greenparty.org.uk has been campaigning for car-free zones, cleaner air, and safer neighbourhoods for Londoners. Now in 2026, Labour is finally getting on board with major pedestrianisation projects. #OxfordStreet #LondonGreens #Pedestrianisation #CarFree

'Champions of life' (geographers, anthropologists, ecologists) are lining up against tech bros & their hubris, understanding we are human animals, part of & dependent on the natural world. With @commondescentpod.bsky.social, in the midst of a storm, I reflect on life's persistence, and power

It will take 119 yrs to get the social housing we need at the current building rate. And the funding for councils to buy homes is far, far too little. Sign my petition for a massive new Buy the Supply fund, to buy as well as build homes, to help fix this FAST! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

Supprting @plaidcymru.bsky.social Carmen Smith's private member's bill calling on the government to live up to its manifesto promise to consult on the future of the #HouseofLords, I reflect that WHO makes decisions matter to trust in politics. #democracy - it would be a good idea

Reminder of #OneHealth reality - environmental, human and animal health are interrelated, and all terrible on these nature-depleted isles, with #biodiversity in an awful state

“If we are to be truly prepared for all of the threats that we face, we need to have a clear sight of what those threats are.” Ellie Chowns makes the case for a broader approach to national security on #BBCQT.

It is time to cut tax breaks for big tech and use it to fund warmer homes. Here's our policy to lower energy bills, explained in 30 seconds.

The one certainty in politics and geopolitics is that the future doesn't look like the past or present. And that's great news. Because past choices are what got us to today #ChangeEverything www.politico.eu/article/serb...

#OneHealth - human, animal and environmental health are tightly interlinked. And currently all terribly poor. The #ClimateEmergency is a health emergency www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

I was not quite 10 years old. One of those unforgettable days.

When the Home Secretary’s asylum proposals come back to the House I think many Labour MPs, not just those with refugee experience, will find it hard to stomach this Bill as it stands.

Looking forward to speaking at ESRC Birmingham event next Thursday with @huwtlmac.bsky.social & Matthew Flinders @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social on #HouseofLords. #Democracy - it would be a good idea. Tickets👇 @brumgreens.bsky.social @westmidlandsygs.bsky.social www.birmingham.ac.uk/events/the-a...

Two to go!!

The govt itself has admitted Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills or create many jobs. So I asked the PM: does Labour disagree with the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels must stay in the ground? Or was lobbying from the oil and gas lobby simply too difficult to ignore?

Important to know what is happening in the US. "The proximity of the media to the seat of U.S. executive power has long been an acknowledgment of the importance of a free press in a constitutional democracy" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

This is truly pathetic from Ministers. Labour’s claim to more than 27 new Jackdaw jobs doesn’t hold up. The green economy is >£100bn a year and growing fast. There is no future in fossil fuels. The Government knows this, but chooses profit for Shell over protecting our climate.
