While the EU requires advanced treatment of urban wastewater, the UK has no legal obligation to monitor microplastics or antimicrobial residues.

If others have better protections, we should follow them.

Why is there a persistent link for all electricity produced to the rice of the lost expensive method of production? Surely we should pay at the lowest rate for each production and it should therefore create lower bills as more wind and solar come on stream.

Final weekend. One last push.

This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.

It's hope vs hate.

It's Greens vs Reform.

Hope can win.

Why did you Join the Green Party?
“I joined the Green Party after awakening to the fact that social, economic and political inequality were destroying the country that I love. The only party that seemed to not only understand this but had begun talking of the solutions to it were the Green Party. Their message of hope, the championing of progressive values and their support for the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society inspired me to join.

Not only that, I also wanted to connect with like-minded people who shared my values. In the Green Party  I feel I have found my home. I am so glad I made that decision to join.”

A new study warns UK winters are becoming significantly wetter — with rainfall rising 7% for every degree of warming.

Yet Reform dismiss the scientific consensus and want scrap action to stop the climate crisis.
