So the SNP went from 'judge us on education' to here's a school bag and a calculator now fuck off!

Zack Polanski is announcing universal free school meals as a policy, and it will be a massive ‘leveller’ for children no matter how you slice it. Being ‘universal’ means that those who don’t qualify for other forms of help will benefit too. What’s not to like?

So powerful. There's so many stories to be told across England and Wales - amazing to see so many people stepping up and telling them. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, has made the planet itself the sole beneficiary and effective "shareholder" of his company. In an extraordinary move that redefined corporate ownership, Chouinard transferred full control of the $3 billion outdoor apparel brand away from his family. He placed 100% of the company into a carefully designed structure consisting of a trust and a nonprofit organization, both dedicated to combating the climate crisis and protecting the natural world. Under this new arrangement, the Chouinard family gave up any claim to personal profits. Instead, all earnings not reinvested in growing the business—roughly $100 million each year—now flow directly to environmental causes, funding the preservation of wild lands, conservation efforts, and initiatives to fight climate change. In essence, Patagonia now exists to serve Earth as its only true shareholder, placing planetary survival above the accumulation of private wealth. The model has already delivered significant results. As of 2025, the company had channeled an additional $180 million into nature-protection projects. The structure relies on two key entities: the Patagonia Purpose Trust, which safeguards the company’s original mission and values, and the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit that directs the profits toward high-impact environmental work. Rather than selling the business to the highest bidder or taking it public, Chouinard chose this radical path—creating what many see as a groundbreaking template for purpose-driven capitalism. Patagonia has shown that a for-profit company can become a powerful force for ecological restoration while remaining financially successful. [Chouinard, Y. (2022).

🚨 NEW: Green Party leader Zack Polanski unveils sweeping plans to tackle Britain’s “affordability crisis” today. His proposals include: - A 10:1 pay cap, limiting how much top earners can make compared to the lowest-paid workers - Free school meals for all pupils - Universal energy bill support - Stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs Zack Polanski says: “The affordability crisis is something affecting nearly everyone… any change in circumstance can push people over the edge into requiring a foodbank.” “This crisis is totally avoidable and down to choices made by this Labour Government and previous Tory Governments.” “The Greens have a plan… taking on corporate power and vested interests to give ordinary people a way out of this crisis.”

Please sign & share the petition to unblock #swift nests at Milton Viaduct. It seems that shaming @networkrail may be the only way to make them do the right thing. Nest holes must be unblocked IMMEDIATELY. protectthewild.org.uk/swift-petition…

Oil will eventually run out. Gold will one day be fully mined. Money? We can always print more. But bees, trees, and clean water? Once they're gone, no amount of cash brings them back. Nature is the true non-renewable resource. 🐝🌳💧 #EnvironmentMatters

It is honestly difficult to comprehend the notion that the British court system is stubbornly persecuting non-violent civic protestors as terrorists for . . . trying to prevent mass killing. The UK national media are meanwhile totally silent about this.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

🚨 ISRAELI OFFICIAL THREATENS THE WORLD LIVE 🔥 "Anyone who criticizes Israel is our enemy. We will watch you through Google. We will expose your weaknesses. We will get you fired from your job. And if you own a business, we will bankrupt you." This is not a random activist speaking. This is an official from the Israeli Embassy in Washington. This is exactly what Zionism has become. A global intimidation machine that threatens your livelihood if you dare speak against them. Share before they try to delete it.

That future: Lower bills. Tax billionaires. End Rip off Britain. Who's in?

I want to live in a world where kids dream of being astronauts more than being influencers.

He really means the Green Party would be prepared to use its power as the next government to make life better for the majority of people. That’s not pie in the sky, it’s simply the duty of every government.

A pollinator garden surrounded by lawn is nearly useless. This sounds harsh, but it's backed by research. Isolated habitat patches fail pollinators because most native bees have small foraging ranges and can't navigate seas of inhospitable turf to reach them. What actually works is a strip along your fence line. A corridor along your driveway edge. A narrow band of natives running the full length of your property. Shape matters more than size. A long thin strip connects points A and B. It gives pollinators a navigable route: something to follow, something that guides their movement across the landscape. Research on wild bee communities found that linear semi-natural habitat edges were the single strongest predictor of bee species richness and connectivity. Bees track edges. A 2-foot-wide strip running 50 feet does more ecological work than a 10x10 flower cluster in the middle of your yard. It also multiplies when your neighbors do the same thing. A strip along your fence meets a strip along theirs. Suddenly there's a corridor running the length of the block. That's the Pollinator Pathway model: a network of connected private yards creating habitat routes that no single yard could create alone.

How very Christian the British state is: arresting vicars for protesting a g*nocide. We've collectively lost our minds if we're tolerating this.
