β€œI was working hard in the voluntary sector, but the decisions were made by the people who put their hand up and voted. I realised we needed to be there too.”

As we look ahead to the local elections, Green Party peer Jenny Jones spoke to Green councillors about what first inspired them to stand.

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

I hope the strait of Hormuz is closed for as long as Israel closed the Rafah border. Yes. This affects all of us, so does genocide, but that didnt seem to move enough people, so maybe inflation will

I saw how the Greens channelled voters’ anger – and fused it with hope. That’s why they won in Gorton and Denton | Owen Jones Starmer called the byelection a battle for the nation’s soul. This result shows Labour has lost that – and I think it will lose much more, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The politics of hope are back.

The politics of fear are in crisis.

Hannah Spencer: the Green MP speaking to everyday people’s frustrations Winner of Gorton and Denton byelection was driven into politics by growing gap between super-rich and the β€˜rest of us’

The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member.

We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat-like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mamm....

Our new paper on the evolution of sociality in cat-like carnivores is out today in @jzoology.bsky.social. This resulted from Izzy Scully's Mres project investigating the factors that might facilitate sociality and its long-term consequences.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

A fantastic welcome for Keir Starmer in Gorton and Denton today, supporting our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia.
The message is clear, only Labour can stop Reform.

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Good morning.

If you've just woken up, the politics of hope just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform).

It wasn't even close.

40.6% for the Greens. Reform second on 28.7%, Labour third on 25.4%.

Petition: Call a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on politics & democracy We are concerned about reported Israeli state-linked and pro-Israel lobbying activity in UK politics. We believe it is important to determine the scope and impact of any such influence campaigns.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

A petition calling for a public inquiry into Israel's influence in Britain has reached over 82,000 signatures.

At 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for a debate in parliament.
