A vote for The Green Party is never wasted. 1) Every Green vote at a General Election gives us a tiny amount of money towards paying for a Parliamentary office with staff to help us 2) Every Green vote is an indicator to the other parties that the environment is important. 3) And we win seats!

A big night at Wirral Council last night as the majority of councillors (🟢🔴🟠 vs 🔵) voted to progress our 'Core Active Travel Network - a network of routes that will eventually connect the borough by walking, wheeling and cycling. A little thread about the night and some personal thoughts 🧵

URGENT: The Government could let a third runway be built at Heathrow Airport. It would spell bad news for the environment - and could see flight prices go up £40 per ticket, so bad for our pockets too. Will you join me and say NO to Heathrow expansion? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/si...

Keir Starmer says govt will push on w/ cuts in spending review. "Yes, we'll be ruthless, as we have been ruthless in the decisions that we've taken so far. We've got clear fiscal rules, and we're going to keep to those fiscal rules." (PM previously vowed to protect public services from austerity).

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling infrastructure, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, and the over-80s cycle around 10% of their journeys. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

No plan for more tax rises, says UK PM Starmer. Wrong pledge. Taxes need to rise on the rich, cut for the poor to reduce inequality. Top 10% have 57% of the wealth, bottom 50% own less than 5%, poorest 10% have 0.02%. Can't build good society on injustice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
