All that is left from our efforts to bring fresh air into schools… is a sign on the wall saying windows must be opened.
That’s it. That’s the effort being put in to protect our kids.
The windows are not usually open….

Never has the UK needed a Government that will build Houses, Renewable Energy, Water Treatment and Hospitals more than it does now
But due to privatisation our Government does none of these things, because they have been sold to billionaires
It's time to undo Thatcher's poison
2nd poll within the week puts Greens in second place, well ahead of both Labour and Tories (the first was YouGov's weekly poll that had Greens on 21% with Tories/Lab on 16% and Reform on 23%).

Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by Siân Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay. It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of ‘blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.
🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.
Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.
Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.
Today I asked ministers to deny* that the number of jury acquittals in protest cases was a factor in the Government’s dangerous attack on jury trials.
*They did not do this
And so we write to brilliant postgraduate students from Sudan, withdrawing the offers and scholarships they won in open competition with the best in the world. A sad day for the University of Oxford.

This unintended thread on one page: skywriter.blue/@georgemonbi...
From 1941 to 1952 in the UK, the top rate of income tax was 98%. A luxury goods purchase tax introduced in 1940 later rose to 100%.
Result? The share of incomes captured by the richest 0.1% fell from 7% in 1937 to just over 1% in 1975. That's what we need today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
Droughts and floods leave farmers floundering and families washed out of house and home
Carbon capture researchers say that the oil industry is dangerously exaggerating the potential for undersea storage of greenhouse gases.
Think the climate's been out of control? We haven't seen anything yet.
“A near-continuous run of Atlantic systems over the past three months has brought persistent rain, damaging storms and few dry spells.”
Global warming might exceed 1.5 °C as early as the late 2020s or 2030s

Even one COVID infection can have lasting impacts on the heart, brain, and blood vessels. Prevention is long-term health care.

It really is mad, in the run up to the last election labour sycophants told us we were Tory enablers for not voting for Starmer. After 14 years of Tory government in a lot of ways it’s actually worse under labour 😭 never again 💚
Since the days of Henry II, the right to a trial by jury is one of the common law’s greatest gifts to the world. It would be a terrible shame if Labour threw it on the dustpile of history for many offenses.
Brilliant explanation. Watch it.
Guardian headline: Thousands of lawyers urge Keir Starmer to rethink plans to cut jury trials Government facing prospect of most serious backbench revolt yet over proposals for England and Wales
When you're trying to make huge changes to the justice system, "unpopular, untested and poorly evidenced" is not the verdict you want to hear.
Labour are about to make a(nother) dreadful mistake.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
