❗️BREAKING — The UK Ministry of Defence admits it is “currently training” Israeli military personnel in Britain. The Labour government has until now refused to answer questions about this, which we covered last year. 👉 www.declassifieduk.org/amid-lebanon...

There were 14 votes between Greens and Tories. And just 18 between Greens and Reform. As two old parties fade away, voting Green in many places keeps the likes of Reform out of power.

Huge by-election result for @stroudgreens.bsky.social last night turning a red seat green. Beating Tories by 14 votes, Reform by 18! This cements @greenparty.org.uk position who run the council.

Responding to the spending review, Green Party co-leader @adrianramsay.bsky.social, said he was “horrified” to see the real-term cuts to the Environment Department’s funding “just as the impact of climate change is starting to affect our communities”. www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...

Labour has made political choices today that each and every one of us will feel as budgets are squeezed.

How much social? How much council? That’s the question here. “Affordable” housing is often anything but!

Almost no mention of social care in Reeves’ speech—so disappointing. Fair pay for care workers and a boost to the NHS are welcome, but that alone will not repair the care sector. We need a fully funded social care system if we want to free up hospital beds and ensure dignity for all. #SpendingReview

Expensive nuclear power is the wrong decision for energy security - consumers will bear the cost with higher bills. Focus should be on renewables and proper funding of home insulation #SpendingReview

Chancellor talks about the awful legacy of Conservative austerity. But under this govt I am still seeing the same real terms cuts to school budgets & local health services & cruel cuts to support for disabled people. It is a political choice not to tax the wealthy fairly. #SpendingReview

This is designed to make it really hard for opposition parties/journalists to be able to actually look beyond the political spin and hold them to account in a timely matter.

When we all say "we need more houses", Greens mean houses normal people can afford while Labour mean whatever developers want to build for profit.

Plastic pollution isn't just about litter. It's also fuelling the climate crisis and destroying wildlife. That's why we need a Global Plastics Treaty that sets legally binding limits on single-use plastics. It's about using less, not just recycling more. Big oil doesn't want this. We demand it.

I’m delighted the govt is expanding eligibility for Free School Meals. This is something I campaigned hard for during the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. Now govt needs to scrap the 2 child benefits cap.

Interesting to see Labour sources saying they will do more on nature protection as Greens continue to point out how the planning and infrastructure bill fails to deliver social housing or nature safeguards. Quote from @adrianramsay.bsky.social 👇

"The answer here is for the government to actually tackle inequality." @zackpolanski.bsky.social makes the case for proper investment in our public services, not more demonisation of migrants.
