I'm glad to see our calls for larger cars to pay more for the congestion charge is being picked up! Larger cars use up more fuel, take up more space, are more likely to be owned by wealthy households and more dangerous in collisions. They should pay more. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2524686...

This is also precisely the aim of Reform UK, led by Trump fanboys and bankrolled by the ultra-rich.

I can't fathom why senior politicians across the world are not intervening - or at least confessing that they have absolutely no leverage anymore on what BN's regime is doing.

A child is killed everyday on our roads, how is that acceptable? I agree bonnet heights are massive issue. But, the larger issue is the shear failure to keep people safe from road harm in all situations

Bristol’s Cotham Hill, a deserted ghost town wasteland since traffic filters and replacing car parking with bike stands a few years ago. Only joking, it’s full of people and has a ton of brilliant independent shops and great restaurants. Cos people shop, not cars.

Louis is spot on: growing Green power means reaching out to the voters other parties can't reach! Over the past 10 years I've learned how to combine radical politics with winning the hearts and minds - and how to then use political office to deliver real change. #TogetherWeWin

This morning, Madleen was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, before being able to break the siege & deliver humanitarian aid. This is yet another war crime. We call on @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu & the @ec.europa.eu to hold the Israeli government accountable.

Voters want govt to build social housing, not more expensive private homes only the richest can afford. Yet the Planning & Infrastructure Bill has no binding social housing targets, effectively handing developers a free pass to build luxury homes and line their own pockets.

The forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters is a flagrant breach of international law. The UK govt must condemn this act, demand immediate release of the civilian crew, and push for unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza without delay. freedomflotilla.org/2025/06/09/i...

Nigel Farage wants attention for saying he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.
