🚪 Great to be out in Stroud with a delegation of Greens from Serbia. 💚 Really exciting to hear from so many people voting Green. A lot of people are very disappointed and angry at the new Labour government. 🗳️ One of the many places where if you #VoteGreen you can get @greenparty.org.uk

🚙 SUVs are a blight on our urban areas. 💬 They take up too much space, cause too much pollution and make our roads far more dangerous. 🪙 Its time to make the owners of these vehicles pay for the damage they cause and the cost of that damage. And deter manufacturers from pushing them.

💤 Starmer's visit to #Yorkshire was a missed chance to address #Bradford's urgent need for better #rail connections. 🚄 Our city desperately needs investment in rail infrastructure after decades of failure. 🗣️ I spoke to the @bradfordtanda.bsky.social to call for urgent action on our new station.

🗨 "This Labour Government promised change - the only change I can see is that the north is being short-changed yet again." 🚆 Cllr Matt Edwards on Labour's woeful lack of funding for northern rail projects as Keir Starmer visits West Yorks. Read Cllr Edwards' full statement below 👇

🙄 How many times is the government going to reannounce funding for the Transpennine Rail Upgrade?!? 💬 West Yorkshire and Bradford needs politicians in London to take these issues seriously. 🚂 This is only a fraction of what the North needs to try and catch up after decades of underinvestment.

So happy about this! I remember when Park St was great (in the 80s). Now ruined by fast, heavy traffic. Far from “killing” the high street, if this is done right it will come alive again. Well done @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social

Raising rail fares year on year and freezing the fuel duty escalator since 2011 sends entirely the wrong message to the electorate of this country. Rail fares rise by 4.6% in England and Wales www.bbc.com/news/article...

Brake dust is toxic. Another reason to curb car use and make it convenient, accessible and affordable to get around by public transport, walking, wheeling and cycling. I know lots of places people feel forced to use a car, but we could adapt and change that. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If anyone wants to see the staggering bias in UK Media towards Reform, look no further Note the headline and the language: "Stunning" Much further down in the article, the Express manages to mention the Green Party also win a by-election from Labour last night - but that was clearly not stunning.

⚠️ The Labour government has given Labour-run #Bradford Council permission to increase #CouncilTax by 10% - the biggest rise anywhere in the country. 😡 Effectively they want hard working people across our district to pay the price for clearing up the financial mess Labour has got Bradford into.

✂️ Thanks to a decade of cuts from the last Conservative government, many of our councils face bankruptcy. 💰 But instead of funding our Councils fairly, making the super wealthy pay their fair share, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves want us to foot the bill. 🥀 Labour are just as bad as the Tories.

Who's side are Labour on? You decide ... ✂️ Cuts to #WinterFuelAllowance 📈 Drastic council tax rises 🚰 Letting water companies hike bills ALSO 🙈 Refusing to tax the super wealthy and big business 💰 Watering down non-dom rules ✂️ Cutting #planning regulations to make it easier for big developers

🤦 How is it possible that Rachel Reeves and this new #Labour government are worse on #ClimateAction than the previous Conservative government?! 🚫 New runways and #AirportExpansion won't make "ordinary" people better off. ⚠️ All it does is benefit the airlines and airports.

🥳 Great to see more direct trains between #Bradford and #London. 🎫 Will @lner.co.uk be offering cheaper fare deals because in many cases it's still A LOT cheaper to travel into #Leeds and get the train there?
