DOGE is just more austerity…and who benefits from austerity? Billionaires do. Reform would destroy our public services with their Trump style chaos. Labour laid the groundwork. Greens are the alternative to Farage and Starmer. No more austerity. No more cuts.

🚀 Following Thursday's election we've reached a new record high 859 councillors on 181 councils! 💚 The Green Party is the only party offering a real alternative to the tired old parties. Join the Green Party today to help us keep delivering real hope and real change ⤵️

Stop killing children.

Putting air filters in classrooms seems to reduce student sick days by more than 10 per cent.

LIBERTY DEFEATS GOVERNMENT APPEAL AS COURT RULES ANTI-PROTEST LAWS ARE UNLAWFUL This should be on every UK News channel. If they won’t report it I’ll do it myself

Four questions for people who say their driving is essential: 1. why is it essential to drive THAT car? 2. do you drive it as little as possible? 3. why is it essential to drive it that fast? 4. why do you need priority over people who aren't driving?

Do people in Cymru realise that 'reform uk' are an ENGLISH NATIONALIST PARTY! Voting for them would DESTROY Cymru forever and make us poorer. End to our Language, cultural identity, our democracy (by abolishing our Senedd), free prescriptions, plus insurance based health. But...the boats, hey🤦‍♂️

It’s on a knife edge in Wiltshire. Lib Dem’s could take the council.

Farage, crowing over his results, repeatedly says Reform will stop local authorities spending money on “climate change”. What Farage is saying that he doesn’t want you to be protected against what is coming. If Reform gets its way, there will be zero strategic climate adaptation. #VoteGreen

Green GAIN from CON - Stafford West and Rural And a breakthrough! First ever Green Cllr on Staffordshire County Council Much needed against the backdrop of a Reform landslide in much of the rest of the county Well done Jack Rose 👏 #GetGreensElected

🎉 Green WIN! 🎉 🌹 to 💚 💚 Congratulations to Paul Valentine of @lambethgreenparty.bsky.social on being elected in Herne Hill & Loughborough Junction!

Key decisions, including changes to PIP, are not included in the Government consultation. This is why we'll be responding to these proposals in an open letter soon. We need as many people as possible to write to their MPs urging them to oppose cuts. ACT NOW: Use our NEW template:

Vote vote vote! Let’s show Reform they are not wanted here #votegreen

“Here in the UK, we have reduced emissions by 54% since 1990 – an achievement few other countries can match. We have done so without undermining growth or prosperity” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never a truer word said. “It’s not as if the right has nowhere else to go. In the mainstream, almost all doors are open. To the left, almost all are locked” especially if your politics are of hope, justice, equality and environmental 💚 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Good luck today. Looking forward to my Mayday walk to the Polling Station. #votegreen

#DogsAtPollingStation @richiebryan.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

TODAY WE CAN ELECT A GREEN MAYOR Polling stations are now OPEN. You can get out and vote Mary Page to be the first Green, West Of England Mayor. Remember to bring ID. 💪Let’s do this!💪

Such an important message. Vote for thriving communities. #VoteGreen- May 1st 💚

Greens bring the politics of hope to Wiltshire. We are patriotic greens supporting our communities to thrive. 💚 #VoteGreen -May 1st🌿 www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/2512881...

50k @BMA.org.uk doctors: Condemn the Supreme Court ruling defining the term 'woman' with respect to the EA2010 as being based on 'biological sex', which they refer to as a person who 'was at birth of the female sex' as reductive, trans and intersex-exclusionary and biologically nonsensical" 1/

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

Residents are fed up with the main parties in Wiltshire. Time to vote for the politics of hope. Vote for people who care and have your interests at heart #VoteGreen - May1st - 💚 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Out delivery my final messages in the ward and return to find that I am the tactical vote to stop the Tories and Reform in The Lavingtons 😀 #VoteGreen on May 1st for #RealHopeRealChange 💚 Lets #GetGreensElected in Wiltshire

#VoteGreen 💚 on Thursday For a #GreenerFairerWiltshire

@richiebryan.bsky.social Picture of Pluto to start the day. He’s missing all the attention.

Amazing to meet so many amazing candidates and activists spreading the hopeful vision of the @greenparty.org.uk In particular @declanbaseley.bsky.social @cathread.bsky.social & @nickp58.bsky.social 💚🌍💚

Sometimes it pays to listen to people sitting quietly at the back, not just the ones screaming in your face. Why young women are finding the Green Party reflect their values and are more welcoming and caring. For a #FairerGreenerSociety #VoteGreen 💚 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Another brilliant song from @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social Perfectly capturing the cost of a vanity trip to space. youtu.be/YJF6NcwkZbc?...

Pleased to join @stopcambo.bsky.social this week handing in a petition with a million signatures calling on the government to do the bare minimum to protect us from the climate crisis - commit to no new oil and gas. Time for govt to listen!

No surprise here its exactly how I felt after working excessive hours. “fatigue is deadly and in health and care services should be treated as a public safety emergency”. The well being and health of staff needs to be a priority for a functioning health service. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

“Toilets are for peeing, not politics” Even after the Supreme Court ruling there is nothing stopping anyone using whatever toilet they wish to use. Very clearly set out 👇

Incredible news! 89% of the global public want more climate action, but don't realise they're part of a huge and potentially powerful majority. #The89Percent aims to fix that and motivate climate delayer* politicians to up their game. Well done @dpcarrington.bsky.social & all involved 🧵 1/3...

We are the climate majority. Most people know that the climate crisis is caused by humans. Governments are out of step with the public. We want them to rise to the challenge and do more. 💚🌎💚 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Isn’t this what we want-people to work to support themselves and integrate into the communities they live in? Here we have people with skills and experience willing to work and pay taxes in the UK, yet the government bans them from working! What mixed up logic is this? #FairerAsylumProcess

Along with batteries, we can use pumped storage. There are solutions which don’t involve expensive, climate wreaking, finite fossil fuels. One day, fossil fuels will run out and we need to be prepared.

This is how we need to “manage” our national parks to make them havens for wildlife. Having returned from a visit to Eryri NP, it’s so disappointing to see the desert mountains devoid of trees and undergrowth because it’s been eaten by sheep.

Farage is so out of touch with British people. We do not want chlorinated chicken and we want to support our farmers to produce healthy food, get paid well and not be undercut by cheap imports. #FairerGreenerFarming www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Farage is endangering the creation of new jobs that provide a more secure, long-term future” and “want to leave the UK exposed to markets controlled by [Vladimir] Putin” #VoteGreen for #FairerGreenerJobs www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ignore Trump for a moment, and all the other calamities going on around the world. Climate change is still the biggest threat to us all, and we are in danger of ignoring it. youtu.be/6F21B2FdU_w?...

The science is clear... it’s time to switch to a plant-based diet. The meat and dairy industry are behaving like the tobacco and oil industries before them - deny and confuse - while continuing to profit from great harm.
