Absurd gimmick. Stopping asylum seekers from working pushes people into destitution and forces reliance on meagre welfare payments. Time for a common-sense change to law to allow asylum seekers to work - to support themselves and contribute to the economy telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
I see Tice is virtue signalling his anti-science, anti-public-opinion, anti-energy-security credentials again 😬
When you have to debate a climate science denier on Question Time... #BBCQT
More and more people are leaving @UKLabour to join @TheGreenParty Today we welcome Councillors @Lizcollins777 & @Trey_CS from Hammersmith & Fulham who join us because they want a party that's honest, listens, and puts people and planet first. You can too join.greenparty.org.uk
Dear @SteveReedMP, If you set up a water commission only to tie its hands by not allowing it to consider public ownership, and excluding agricultural run off even though it causes half of water pollution, how can that commission possibly deliver real change? 1/2
Along with other countries, the UK promised "concrete actions" in response to the Netanyahu government back in May. And still all we have is words from David Lammy. Words are not enough. We need strong action.
The Home Secretary calls the Israeli govt’s actions in Gaza ‘intolerable.’ But he is tolerating it. I asked when he will take real action: a full arms embargo, widespread sanctions, a ban on the import of settlement goods, and funding for evidence collection for prosecutions.
Well done @BristolCouncil - Bristol is the best city in England on climate action according to @ClimateEmergUK and a significant improvement since 2023 👏👏👏
It's 10% higher than in 2023, according to @ClimateEmergUK’s scorecard.
🚨🗣️ 52 influential women unite to urge the Government: do not abandon asylum-seeking survivors. Violence does not stop at the border, and neither should our compassion and support for survivors. Read more: theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j… #WelcomeEveryWoman
So polluting our environment isn't enough - fossil fuel companies also want to take away trans people's rights, for some reason? What's going on here? … atmos.earth/fossil-fuel-bi…
This month we've seen more heatwaves. Temperatures will keep rising unless we stop burning oil & gas. The government can't claim to care about our future while backing new fossil fuel projects. That is why @UKLabour must stop new oil & gas extraction, starting with Rosebank.
Government must show leadership on the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty and take action to stop fossil fuel lobbyists derailing this vital process to #TurnTheTideOnPlasticPollution. Time to get fossil fuel interests out of our politics for good! greenpeace.org.uk/news/meet-the-…
.@Imran_HussainMP asked a powerful question at #PMQs calling for UK sanctions on the Israeli govt, just like the UK rightly imposes on Russia over Ukraine. Incredibly disappointing response from PM. Hand-wringing only, totally ignoring calls for sanctions and arms embargo.
🏳️🌈 Pride is a protest ✊ 🏳️⚧️ This year it's so obvious how much it's needed, as we face threats to roll back LGBTIQA+ rights in the UK and globally It felt so important to be at @BristolPride with my community, standing shoulder to shoulder with our trans siblings. #Pride2025




Scary to see extreme heat become the norm in the UK - this will cost more and more lives. What is govt doing to protect us from these effects of climate change that are already with us? And how can they justify giving go-ahead to airport expansion which will worsen the crisis?

This week I urged MPs to be on the right side of history. We look back on the tobacco ad ban as a no-brainer and vital to protecting our health - so why do we still allow fossil fuel giants to spend millions hiding the harmful effects of their products? desmog.com/2025/07/07/com…
Come and work with me! We're hiring a Head of Parliamentary Campaigns to maximise the impact of the Green MPs If you've got a great track record of delivering high-impact campaigns and exceptional media coverage, we want to hear from you greenparty.org.uk/get-involved/w…
Yesterday thousands of people came to Westminster to speak up for a safe climate, warm homes, clean air, and thriving nature. I was proud to meet lots of my constituents at the #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby!

This week I called for a ban on fossil fuel advertising. In the UK we forbid tobacco ads because smoking kills us. But air pollution caused by fossil fuels and extreme weather caused by climate change are already killing as many as smoking was when tobacco and ban came in.
🩺 The public health case for a ban on fossil fuel ads and sponsorship. From yesterday's debate, @JacobCollierMP, @AfzalKhanMCR, @carla_denyer and Dr Simon Opher on the public health crisis caused by fossil fuels & the need for a ban on ads and sponsorship.
When… 1 in 5 people on UC and disability benefits used a food bank last month. The Disability price tag is £1,095 a month. The basic rates of UC don’t cover essentials. A #WealthTax could address our deeply unequal society. We must do better than this Bill. #TakingThePIP
Hi @Keir_Starmer just dropped off some reading material for you. Despite what you keep claiming our manifesto is fully costed and it shows how we can invest in schools & hospitals, climate action and support for the most vulnerable.
