Amazing launch tonight of Wildlife Photographer of the Year at the Natural History Museum.

So many striking images all telling a story of how fragile life can be on our planet and wildlife & nature are struggling badly.

These stories should all be the starkest warning call.

Huge solidarity to @IWGBunion and everyone on strike at the RSA.

The Chief Exec has taken a 170% pay rise whilst others have been offered derisory sums.

@TheGreenParty will continue to stand with you against this very obvious injustice until you win! ✊🏾

Zack Polanski, deputy leader of the Green Party, also attended the event to show his support for UK Black Pride.

“As a gay Jewish man, I’m here to advocate for my communities, but also to support everyone else’s communities too - to allyship."

In case you missed it:

On the Sunday before the local elections, I did this interview.

Sophy Ridge accuses politicians of expectation managing in case of a bad result.

The Green Party went on to have the most successful results ever. Get involved! 💚👇🏽

A very hot 90 minutes of our @TheGreenParty vision.

We cover everything from our wealth tax, housing crisis, why everyone should support @uvwunion@bird.makeup (striking migrant workers) and @makevotesmatter@bird.makeup (proportional representation) & why @carla_denyer@bird.makeup must be Bristol's Green MP.

I'll always be a voice for equality, human rights, inclusion and dignity."

Nicola Sturgeon is a humane, kind and compassionate politician.

She will be sorely missed.

Austerity, Labour and The Tories

Austerity on offer from Tories & Labour isn't the only option.

@TheGreenParty would invest in public services & prioritise universal access like good housing & sustainable transport (for example!)

LGBT, Human rights, charity, Green Party

In 68 countries around the world, LGBT+ people are criminalised & persecuted because of who they are & who they love.

Lady Phyll is Chief Executive of the Kaleidoscope Trust- a charity working to protect the rights of LGBT+ people globally & it's always brilliant to see her!

I've written to the BBC Director General, Director of Nations & Acting Director of BBC England.

Along with my colleagues, we're concerned about the millions of people who experience a sense of community through local radio.

UK Politics, transport, cycling, London Assembly, green party, economy committee

I'm in the Economy Committee at City Hall where we're discussing the importance of cargo bikes.

Over 25% of our carbon emissions come from motor vehicles & we need to reduce both.

Cargo bikes can be a huge (but not the only) part of changing that.

UK Politics, London Assembly, Green Party, Environment Committee

Loved chairing today a brilliant discussion with businesses around London working towards a green and just transition.

It was great to hear these businesses encouraging those in power to make bold moves with them towards tackling the climate emergency.

We need to act now.

UK Politics, London Fire Brigade, London Assembly, Culture Review

Recommendation 1 is that all managers should adopt a zero tolerance policy for bullying, racist and misogynistic behaviour in the workplace and appropriate disciplinary action must be taken to root out toxic culture.

UK Politics, London Fire Brigade, London Assembly, Culture Review

I'm in the chamber at City Hall holding the London Fire Commissioner to account.

The culture review has named the brigade as institutionally racist & misogynistic with concerns for LGBT firefighters too.

No one should face discrimination at work. This must be a turning point.

So many firefighters do an amazing job of keeping us safe.

In my work on Fire, Resilience and Emergency Planning Committee I'll be ensuring this review is given the seriousness and commitment it requires to make these changes to the London Fire Brigade.

"Banter" must never be a cover for discrimination.

UK Politics, London Fire Brigade, Culture Review, Misogyny, Racism.

Much of the report has echoes of the Metropolitan Police particularly around what was called then "institutional defensiveness."

Complaints not being taken seriously and managers being allowed to retire "early" rather than rightfully be dismissed.

UK Politics, London Fire Brigade, Culture Review, Misogyny, Racism.

I've now read the full culture review into the London Fire Brigade.

The review goes out of its way rightly to recognise the work of so many brave firefighters who keep Londoners safe & the sacrifices they make.

It also importantly strongly refutes any idea that gives anyone a pass on misogyny or racism.

Many of the pages make for extremely difficult reading and it's clear that the problem is here and still ongoing.
