RT: @DefendOurJuries BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @andyburnham’s Labour Party conference. UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns. Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

Labour already have a huge majority. Another Labour MP putting Thames Water "on notice" isn't going to lower our water bills or protect our rivers. Nationalise Thames Water. Vote Green on October 8th. 💚

RT: @ScotNational NEW: Massive Attack frontman Robert Del Naja has been arrested on suspicion of showing support for a proscribed organisation outside of Labour's part conference in Liverpool

RT: @macklemore What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at

RT: @WokeratiMarty Rob del Naja from Massive Attack. “The proscription of a Palestine Action will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.” 🎯 @andyburnham

RT: @harriepw Sarcastic shouts of “well done for arresting pensioners” and “very brave of you to arrest an old man” as more arrests are made. Around 15 so far - v slow compared to the Met

RT: @deblesurf Good reason to vote for the Greens. We already know what their decision is.

RT: @andrewfeinstein Great rally in support of @ZackPolanski@mastox.eu in Holborn & St.Pancras with hundreds who will spend the day knocking on doors to ensure that Zack replaces his antithesis Keir Starmer

RT: @cllrrobwhite Join the Green Party and elect people who will stand against genocide https://join.greenparty.org.uk/

RT: @StevieB09074258 There are political tremors rumbling through Camden — is there gonna be an earthquake? All hands on deck, all shoulders to the wheel, all noses to the grindstone for another Green win! #BackZack

RT: @SaulStaniforth Ridge asks Dylan Law, @TheGreenParty Hackney deputy mayor, whether green cllrs spend too much time on intl issues like Gaza Dylans reply was spot on - voters care about lots of different issues & people representing them should represent them He was spot on about housing too

Expansion of the UK's longstanding support for Saudi Arabia risks escalating the regional conflict - meaning more bloodshed, and making life less affordable at home as costs soar. This Government should be seeking to cut the cost of living, not fuelling wars abroad.

RT: @SpiritOfAttlee This is the whole argument in two sentences. “Difficult decisions” always means the same thing. The nurse pays. The renter pays. The man with a heat pump invoice pays. The men with the £72 million do not. Holborn is not a student protest. It is the first chance to put a Green leader on the floor of the Commons and force Labour to stop governing like Starmer. Zack is not inevitable just because he is nice. He is inevitable because every other option has already told you who the difficult decision is for.

65% of the British public want the NHS to drop its contract with Palantir. They try to paint us an a minority - when it is Palantir who are swimming against the tide of public opinion.

RT: @CarolineLucas There’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more North Sea oil & gas. The planet is already on fire. How many times do we have to say it will do nothing for energy bills or energy security - but would send a terrible message to the rest of the world? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/30/burnham-promises-pragmatic-approach-to-north-sea-oil-and-gas?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Fire fighters know the urgency of tackling the climate crisis because they're constantly on the front line dealing with it. From wildfires to floods - this is not going away. We badly need to give our Fire Brigade the funding, resources and officers that it needs.

RT: @mcash The Green Party has been in power in Southwark for 100 days. Here's 10 achievements in 60 seconds 💪

Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security. Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes. Time to end water privatisation.

Britain's most persecuted minority ... according to The Daily Telegraph's front page ... Millionaires. It's clear who they are here to serve. No wonder they hate Greens for unashamedly calling for wealth to be taxed fairly. Let's make it happen https://join.greenparty.org.uk/

I went to Paris to speak to Thomas Piketty - one of the world’s leading thinkers on inequality. We talk about why wealth keeps concentrating at the top, the case for public investment, and how to build a fairer economy. A fascinating conversation. https://youtu.be/d_83pFubGvQ?is=4A3tfthnoK2n2gps

Jonathan Porritt has been arrested. As he says "trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

RT: @implausibleblog French economist Thomas Piketty to Zack Polanski, "This neoliberal turn of the 80s has not been a huge success for the middle class and for average living standards" "The big promise that was made in the 80s by Reagan and Thatcher was, look, we are going to kill off progressive taxation, maybe inequality will rise, but the size of the pie is going to grow so fast like you've never seen." "Average wages, average income are going to grow like you've never seen. And so everybody will be happy." "30 years later, 40 years later. When I look at Brexit or when I look at the Trumpist United States, I don't see, very happy people." "And I think partly because of the failure of this promise and this is why right wing parties in these two countries, the Republican in the US and the Conservative and now Reform Party in Britain, have turned anti migrant toward identity politics because they have not delivered on the economic front and on living standards"

RT: @implausibleblog Zack Polanski, "I called this press conference.. Because of the shocking scenes of wildfires" "3,000 people have died because of the extreme heat" "I want to draw attention to do everything we can to push the prime minister Andy Burnham to take action on what is such a crucial subject" "I've focused on the climate and nature crisis today, but as we've heard from our guests, this is a way to lower bills, to transform inequality in society, to create jobs of the future, to make sure we have more cohesive communities" "I don't think we can talk about climate and nature in a silo" "We need to recognise that BP have doubled their profits during the US-Iran war" "We've got Barclays who've gone up a third, who are advising some of their clients that they can profit in extreme heat" "I can call it out as a political leader, but you - the media - also have a role to call it out" "The amount that we hear about what Nigel Farage and Reform UK want to talk about and the little we hear about the climate and nature crisis, is pretty glaring"

RT: @TheGreenParty BP's quarterly profits more than doubled to £4.2 billion in the three months to the end of June. These are the profits of war and climate chaos. It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.

RT: @DisIdealist The country’s literally on fire, nothing works, everything is too expensive, Trump’s bombers leave Gloucestershire, and in politics, the rightwing parties are calling each other traitors while the PM makes it a priority to make it slightly easier to unsubscribe from Netflix.

RT: @greenbenali James Cleverly running for Mayor of London? I fail to see what an Essex MP and a Sunak-Truss-Johnson minister has to offer the city It’ll be the Green candidate who’ll be challenging Labour come 2028. Just look at the 2026 local election results

Across the country, wildfires are raging. The Prime Minister needs to call a COBRA meeting and treat the climate crisis with the urgency this moment calls for.

While the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits. Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled. This is obscene. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/shell-more-than-doubles-its-profit-q2-beating-expectations-2026-07-30/

RT: @McrGreenParty Green Mayors do it better! Let's get a Mayor that Greater Manchester deserves! Vote Green tomorrow 🟩🐝

RT: @GreenJennyJones Yay. We beat Reform yet again.

RT: @implausibleblog Jeremy Corbyn, "It is about what Britain does" "We allow the manufacture of weapons in Britain by Elbit systems" "Britain has been overflying Gaza for three years, passing that information I believe back to the IDF" "We have been providing parts for F35 jets" "There are no sanctions against the Israeli military, there are sanctions against some individuals, and settlement goods, but it's almost impossible to separate settlement goods from Israeli goods" "And I think Britain's position has been terrible" "And while Burnham gave some warm words, they don't up to much" Zack Polanski, "I'm interested in your opinion on Andy Burnham's apology when he said that Labour got it wrong on Gaza" "But as far as we can see there doesn't seem to be any material change" "What would you want to see the government do differently?" Jeremy Corbyn, "Getting it wrong, fine, he admits we got it wrong, good, that's a step forward, but what next?" "Lammy did eventually suspend some arms licenses, but I don't know what's been suspended, it's all shrouded in a mist of obscurity" "If Burnham is serious about this then Britain has got to accept the ICJ opinion, and also recognise the continued supplying of arms and weapons to Israel after the ICJ opinion came out" "The ICJ opinion is, in their view, acts of genocide are being committed" "If you knowingly supply weapons to the perpetrator of acts of genocide, does that make you an innocent bystander or does that make you complicit in this?" "Put it another way, if you and I were walking down Old street after we have our discussion here, and we saw some people breaking and entering a shop and they're fun out of equipment, and we handed them some rocks and bars to help them. We'd be complicit, obviously" "Same thing" Zack Polanski, "It seems odd as well to suspend some arms licenses because Israel is committing some violations of human rights, but then not to suspend all" "It feels like either you're committing human rights violations or you're not" "It doesn't feel like you're doing a little bit" Jeremy Corbyn, "You can't do half a violation, you're either violating or you're not" "So Britain is I believe complicit in this"

We need to act now.

RT: @PhilipProudfoot Pretty strange that the PM hasn’t called a COBRA meeting despite much of Britain being in drought, farms warning of severe food shortages, forest fires, and another heatwave on the way.

RT: @TheGreenParty The science is crystal clear - there can be no new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. Andy Burnham must stop Rosebank, stop Jackdaw and make polluters pay for the destruction they are causing.

RT: @GreenPartyJay This is not just a “hot summer”. What we are seeing is the climate crisis in action. Wild fires are raging, over half of England and all of Wales are now in drought and an estimated 2,877 people have died from heat associated causes. We need urgent action before it gets worse

RT: @Annaisaac New excl: George Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother days before her donations to Reform Sources say Fiona Cottrell told bankers the transfers, received 24-72 hours before her donations to Reform, came from her son https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jul/29/george-cottrell-transferred-2m-mother-beforer-reform-uk-donations

RT: @TheGreenParty Only in polling stations this Thursday, 30th July from 7am... 🍿 Geraldine Coggins is your Green mayoral candidate ready to take Greater Manchester back from big money. Vote Green first tomorrow 💚

The language of 'defensive' support is a smokescreen: the PM has committed the UK to this conflict. Thousands have been killed by the Saudi-led coalition. Weddings hit, markets destroyed. International Humanitarian Law breached. The UK must not back the murderous Saudi regime.

RT: @DarrenBar88 When did getting involved in a war in the Middle East ever "restore stability"? Why do Labour keep doing this? Have they learnt nothing?

RT: @bphillipsonMP Reform UK are up to their neck in scandal. Serious new information has come to light, opening up yet more questions about donations made by George Cottrell and his associates. Frankly, it stinks. I've written to the Electoral Commission to draw it to their attention.

RT: @JosephW56436640 Why electing a Green Mayor is important! ⬇️

RT: @LBC "How many litres of water did you waste creating that nonsense!" Do you use AI to create stupid pictures? Natasha Devon demands that you stop right now.

RT: @TheGreenParty Get out and vote Green!

RT: @Samuel29920 Great speech from @ZackPolanski@mastox.eu, one of the few politicians actually taking the climate emergency seriously. We should respond like ambulances respond to emergencies, because it is a very real life & death emergency, yet many people think can just be approached "gradually".

RT: @Shambles151 Andy Burnham has still not lifted Yvette Cooper's proscription which sees thousands of good people arrested as terrorists just for holding placards. Please RT this until the Labour Govt which inflicted it (but incredibly still expects our votes) - lifts it. Thank you.

RT: @deblesurf NFU on R4Today saying nope, not resilient. The Climate Change Committee says we're not prepared at all.

RT: @_BoldPolitics Every new oil and gas project that gets approved will make the heatwaves more unbearable.

RT: @ScotNational The BBC has been blasted in the past for giving 'lengthy' coverage to Reform UK press conferences on immigration. But at 11am on Monday there was no sign of it on the BBC News channel, notes @BrawnJourno ✍️

Thank you to Green Gathering - such a wonderful weekend! I'll be at lots of other festivals this summer - we're building our movement and creating an alternative to the old party politics. http://Join.greenparty.org.uk
