Quite extraordinary people power in Georgia where people want a European future rather than living in a state of Russian subjugation.

Here is our excellent 19 year old council candidate for Stroud Central, Cate James-Hodges. Vote for her, she’s great! So heartening to see young people like this getting involved and shaking things up a bit #voteGreen Stroud District Green Party stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk/news/24264453.…

Latest from me: on what happens when suggesting people might be left to drown becomes a normal part of the right's discourse: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

If you do takeaway food and you’re not on Deliveroo, it’s almost impossible to survive. Companies like Deliveroo and Uber Eats need to have their business practices challenged, and brought in line by proper regulation. If not, these problems are going to get worse and worse.

A very interesting thread. I’ve never ridden for Deliveroo, but I set up a micro cargo bike delivery service in Lancaster three years ago and learnt a lot about how they operate – it isn’t pretty! 🧵

Extreme heat wave in Bangladesh has killed several people & is keeping 33 Million children out of school. The implications of ongoing escalating climate change & a warming earth is devastating for the world's poorer communities. This is climate injustice.

Meanwhile, extreme rainfall & floods have claimed many lives, forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes & caused huge economic & agricultural losses in East Africa.

The National Trust are running one of the best communications strategies I've ever seen to counter an Astro-turf far right assault - ethical PR courses will use this to teach

I’ve been blown away with how lovely and supportive people have been across the ward I represent (Selsley, King and Leonard Stanley, Frocester and Stanley Downton).

It’s really humbling meeting people
who say they’ve already voted for you!

Everyone should know about this story.

Thanks to the NEU for highlighting it.

The Green Party stands with Zane's Law too.

Feel very lucky to have joined Na'amod for their Freedom for All Passover Seder today

So moved by the compassion, warmth and solidarity in the room. Joined together in our shared hope for peace

This is devastating. Amos Goldberg, professor in genocide studies in the Hebrew Uni Jerusalem, states: 'Yes, it is genocide. It is so difficult & painful to admit it, but..we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained..' thepalestineproject.medium.com/yes-it-is-geno…

Local elections this week, who are people voting for?

Me, it's The Green Party no other party offers solutions that put British people first. They're mostly dictating patriotic gimmicks that cause division.

Delivered another batch of leaflets on my bike, ahead of Thursday’s election. Is it any wonder I’ve lost 2 stone in the last 12 months?!
A lovely man said “You don’t need to give me that, I’ve already voted for you by post because you’re the only one who’s bothered coming here”

The 2nd series of Blue Lights is as compelling as the 1st. Superb writing, characters you care about brought to life by great acting, tense & morally complex storyline. BBC drama at its best.

Is the US Supreme Court about to usher in the 'legal' basis for fascist dictatorship? It seems almost incredible but, as this thread makes clear, that is what's now at stake.

Bernie Sanders calls out #Netanyahu for falsely describing protesters against the mass killing of civilians in Gaza as 'antisemitic'.

(btw, Bernie's brother Larry Sanders has been protesting against Israeli war crimes with many other Greens, of all faiths & none, in the UK)

In case you haven’t noticed, Elon Musk is literally one of the biggest proponents of the great replacement conspiracy theory. He’s obsessed with it.

The thing about this sad display is that it’s a pathetic (and failed) attempt to ape Ukraine’s display of wrecked Russian equip. in Kyiv. But the Russian copy is just a cheap celebration of imperialism and its spoils, not of resistance and sacrifice.

The Government are toast.

And speaking to lots of Londoners who say Labour have let them down on two child benefit cap, refusal to tax wealth & their complicity in war crimes in Gaza.

Really striking in Lambeth how many people are voting The Green Party for the first time!
