@ruthibrandt.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialI am not going to share that disgusting cartoon that was in the Daily Telegraph. Suffice to say that it was disgusting and deeply offensive.
Here is Jewish and Muslim Greens' joint statement on the matter, and a call to the DT to withdraw it - jewishgreens.greenparty.org.uk/2026/10/11/j...

@lynnok.bsky.socialFunding for greyhound racing is linked to horse racing. To reduce funding greyhounds is to reduce funding to horse racing. Step 1 is decoupling the two. I was told by greens when in gov. that greyhound support was dying out, and it wasn't worth the political capital to stop it. I don't agree.
@thejournal.ieReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialWhy is the Government pumping more than €20 million into greyhound racing while animal welfare concerns continue to mount?
Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore argues that Budget 2027 shows just how far down the government's list of priorities animal welfare really is.

@joloughlin.eurosky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialI can only talk about the one I was in, they are limited by their licence to using 15% of their feedstock as bought in energy crops, in their case it will be maize silage.
@joloughlin.eurosky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialWhere the digestate goes is very traceable though, as long as it goes on low P index soils at the appropiate time, the issues should be manageable?
@joloughlin.eurosky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialThe one I was in is taking no animal waste, others do. A lot of the poultry waste is going to incinerators and the ash is being used as a farm fertiliser which gets around the issue of Botulism from the untreated waste. scottfertiliser.ie
@mmullany.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialUsing waste from breweries/distilling is sustainable, but that feedstock is limited and the national strategy assumes large amounts of dedicated energy crops. The whole thing is insane.
@mmullany.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialIt doesn't really reduce pollution because the phosphates in the feedstock don't go anywhere and persist in the digestate.
@mmullany.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialMost of the actual carbs being converted into methane will come from dedicated feedstock - switchgrass or sileage. Manures can only be a percentage due to their high Nitrogen to Carbon rarios. The strategy is insane, and seems to be pushed by Gas Networks to keep their pipelines viable.

@lynnok.bsky.socialThey can also take poultry farm waste and of farm waste. So reduce pollution? Therefor facilitated ongoing intensive pig and poultry farming?
@theapplefarmer.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialThis is ridiculous as a national strategy.
Acre for acre solar PV delivers about 20 times more energy than biomethane.
Why in the name of ,,, would a government promote this stuff.

@annsplaining.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialFor us, it is not the motion that poses a threat to Jews, but the media storm around the motion, which is presenting Zionism as if it is some sort of protected Jewish characteristic. This is extremely dangerous and incredibly offensive. Stop it.
@annsplaining.bsky.socialReposted by @lynnok.bsky.socialThe Chair also said in her interview that Zack did not consult with Jewish Greens. This is not true, he did consult with us, I was at that meeting.
