A democratically-run political party. Wow, what a radical idea. Nigel Farage claims to have handed Reform UK over to its members, however the leader still has huge amount of control and cannot be easily removed. The Green Party is run democratically by our members. Join today ⤵️

Great to see Labour have listened and changed their position on an EU Youth Mobility Scheme. But this is just the start. We must keep up the pressure to ensure the Government seizes this chance to begin fixing the damage of Brexit.

Labour has repeatedly stumbled in its first 6 months—from backtracking on winter fuel support to refusing to scrap the two-child benefit cap. We’ve seen a mess of policies with no real action where it’s needed. We sat down with the Mirror to discuss it all. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

📈 Average UK private rents increased by 8.7% over the last 12 months. 🚨 The sector is out of control and contributing to widening inequality and homelessness. 💚 The Green Party would introduce rent controls to stop the exploitation of private renters by landlords.

Trump's comments become more delusional and dangerous by the day. It's more vital than ever that the UK government speaks truth to power, stands up for British values and interests, and challenges Trump's tsunami of disinformation.

It's a fallacy to say that we have to choose between builders and blockers. We could choose to have to right sorts of development, in the right place, at the right price that would meet our housing needs while protecting our precious natural environment.

Rachel Reeves is off to chat with investment bankers about how to boost ‘economic growth’. We’ve got an idea! Instead of chatting with super-rich bankers, how about we tax them fairly and use the money to invest in decent public services for everyone 🤔

🤝 Sadiq Khan has admitted Brexit was a mistake and that a new youth mobility scheme is needed. 🤦 However, Keir Starmer has said no. 🇪🇺 Only the Green Party is committed to fixing our relationship with the EU and working together to counter a reckless Trump administration.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

The poorest fifth of households are spending more of their income on Council Tax than the richest fifth. Labour should immediately re-evaluate Council Tax bands to make them fairer. In the long term Greens would replace Council Tax with a fair system for taxing landowners.

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Heathrow is typical of the Government. Makes inequality worse, evidence is biased by vested interests and it's terrible for the planet. Rather than a frequent flyer levy, Labour are only interested in representing corporate interests.
