The European Union has given the green light to post-Brexit youth visas with the UK, after member states approved talks on how they would work in practice. Campaigners welcomed what they hailed as a “massive step forward for young people in the UK” 👏 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I'm supporting Adrian and Ellie to be Green Party Leaders because this is a key moment for our party. We must move into the space left by Labour and Conservative vote collapse - or Nigel Farage will! 👇 #TogetherWeWin @elliechowns.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social

Students in England graduate with average £53,000 debt. Total debt £266bn, up to 7.3% interest. Most European nations don't charge university tuition fees, England does. What was public debt, is now personal debt. People penalised for education, can't start family, business. Abolish uni fees.

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay2025 - an opportunity to stand with those forced to leave their homes to flee oppression, war and violence across the globe. This week I stood up in parliament to remind MPs of the core British values of compassion and welcome.

While the eyes of the world are on Iran, the Israeli military is still slaughtering civilians in Gaza as they try to access food after months of starvation. We can't let the Israeli govt's unprovoked attack on Iran distract us from the unfolding genocide www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All the nature & wildlife charities & NGOs are appalled by the Planning & Infrastructure Bill, which strips away vital protections for the natural world. So important that Green MPs & peers are resisting this assault on nature in parliament.

Three Rivers Talking Newspaper in Waveney uses audio recordings to bring the news to those unable to read newspapers. I really enjoyed talking with volunteers and people who use this service. It was great hearing about this invaluable work, which is crucial in tackling social isolation.

Just voted against the government's Planning and Infrastructure Bill after they rejected our efforts to bring in measures to build social housing. Sadly, this Bill is a charter for greed, giving developers carte blanche to line their pockets building luxury homes for the rich that most can't afford

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Not right! Oil giant Shell effectively paid no tax on North Sea oil and gas drilling in the UK last year and got £12.4 million back from the UK Government, new filings show. In contrast, the company paid a total of $3.4 billion to the Norwegian government last year and $243m in Germany.

It's kind of telling that the fantasy things that Reform candidates said we needed to rid ourselves of, to make it all better, turn out not to exist in the places they said they would rid us of them. So they aren't the problem, nor would ridding us of it make things better. Rather like the 🇪🇺.

Brexit led to 1,500 deaths a year as EU nurses left UK. Replaced by less experienced or skilled staff, which had a knock-on effect for patients. Brexit has done immense harm. No impact assessment was provided. Farage/Reform still doing the same with their nationalist rhetoric.

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.

I was never a fan of Kuenssberg, but less because of bias and more because I think she's mediocre and overpromoted. But she's unwatchable nowadays. The technique (a Sun technique, actually) of dressing every point and every question as somehow coming directly from "viewers" is utterly disingenuous.
