Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour promised an end to new drilling. But new powers give Energy Secretary Ed Miliband a backdoor to expand fossil fuels in the North Sea. Loopholes don’t cut carbon. No new oil and gas.

The far-right are trying their best to stand up for Big Oil and scupper plans for cheaper cleaner renewables. But renewable energy just keeps growing. Because it makes economic sense and helps bring down bills AND emissions.

Following recent ‘freedom of speech’ rallies, protests and the increase of anti-migrant rhetoric, together with protests outside hotels in Devon housing people seeking asylum, Exeter Green Party has issued a statement of solidarity with those seeking asylum.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 📈 The Green Party has just hit 75,000 members! 💚 There's no time to waste. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

While the Home Office wastes resources arresting people peacefully opposing genocide, the rise of the far right, fuelled by racist agitators and foreign billionaires whipping up hatred in our communities, continues unchecked. When will the govt get their priorities in order?

The Labour-led council hands building back to Northbrook Community Trust, drained of water. The council have run down, then dumped, this important community asset back on the Trust. They gave them just 28 days to find a community-led solution, pulling the plug on any community efforts to save it.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain. The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services. That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Mr Polanski, who is Jewish, said: "Welcoming a potential war criminal to the UK is another demonstration of how this Labour government is implicated in the ongoing genocide in Gaza." news.sky.com/story/israel...

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell. Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass. That, right there, is the problem.

This is the man who signed an artillery shell before it was fired towards the Gaza strip - Starmer must not meet him www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240103-it-...

Farage decries Rayner as entitled. Says the millionaire tax and stamp duty avoider.

💚 GREEN WIN 💚 Exeter City councillors unanimously back Green motion pushing South West Water to clean up its act 💩 As a result Exeter residents should have a clearer idea about what/when the water company will invest to make the River Exe clean and safe for people and nature.

One of the best things about being a Green is knowing that we can finish a leadership election and know that, whatever the result, immediately we will all be out campaigning together to get Greens elected everywhere to all levels of government.

Excellent one paragraph summary from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social of what Greens stand for. These are our democratically established people-powered policies, whoever leads the party. But in @zackpolanski.bsky.social we have a brilliant communicator of those policies.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social The new leader of the Green Party. But from this point forward, people are going to know that! Look out Starmer. Look out Farage. There's a new kid in town. And he's going to smash it 💚

This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …

To Reform UK, free speech means the freedom to spout lies and misinformation and fuel division and hate. But to block any challenge or criticism. A taste of the terrifying world we'll all have to live in if Farage gets anywhere near Downing Street.

Councillors in Exeter have lodged a complaint with the City Council over 'intimidating and aggressive' behaviour by a Tory councillor. "Wearing her councillor lanyard suggested she was acting on behalf of the council. We believe her actions were a breach of the councillor’s code of conduct."

Arms firm Elbit Systems has played a major role in supplying Israel with weaponry for its genocide in Gaza. Labour's angry words towards Israel mean nothing. Here's evidence of their complicty in genocide and ethnic cleansing.

This is a scandal. We need to end Right to Buy NOW. And increase our stock of council and social homes to provide affordable properties to rent.

#HomesFitForTheFuture means homes that are warm and affordable to heat, connected to reliable public transport, and protected from flooding and extreme temperatures. We have the tech; now we need the political will to build affordable, climate-resilient homes that last.

"You're sat there saying 'oh, please think of the billionaires'. @zackpolanski.bsky.social lays out the need to tax the super-rich properly on GMB.

We're beating Labour and blocking Reform UK. And working for a fairer, greener society. What's not to like?

Labour's approach to small boats crossings has been the same as the Conservatives: 'acting tough' and creating a new hostile environment. But it didn't work under the Conservatives, and it won't work under Labour. The only way to stop the boats is with safe and managed routes.

Netanyahu’s brutal plan to take control of Gaza is yet another declaration of intent to commit war crimes. The UK must do more than express disapproval: end military cooperation and arms sales, recognise Palestine, demand an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes.

Two of our Green councillors in St David's ward @dianafmoore.bsky.social and @tessread.bsky.social have lodged a formal objection to the planned 300-bed six storey co-living development on the site of the former Mary Arches car park in Exeter City centre.

“Labour wrote the brief for this dire development completely ignoring the Council’s own housing needs research which sees little role for co-living housing. There is no evidence of demand for this over-priced accommodation. Few single workers in Exeter can afford the eye-wateringly high rents."

I have written to every backbench Labour MP urging them to press the govt to implement key measures regarding Gaza. I repeat my call here: I know you did not stand for election to preside over inaction in the face of such crimes. Call on the govt to act, today.

Great piece by @carolinelucas.bsky.social "It’s hard to see what moral authority Starmer can think he has to try to prevent countries like Iran from pursuing their nuclear ambitions while he upgrades our own." 👏

Successive governments have watched as Right to Buy hollowed out council housing stock, fuelling chronic shortages and deepening inequality. We cannot wait any longer: end Right to Buy, urgently reinvest in affordable, social homes fit for the future, and secure stability for our communities.

Really important report out today from @cmmonwealth.bsky.social Wrong to Sell: How Right To Buy Gave Away Billions in Public Wealth www.common-wealth.org/publications...

A group of leading economists is urging Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves to introduce a wealth tax to tackle extreme inequality. The Green Party has consistently called for a fairer tax system. Time for Labour to make some different political choices and tax the super-rich fairly.

Every day that our government fails to recognise the state of Palestine is another day wasted on more empty words instead of actions. What is Keir Starmer waiting for? Recognise Palestine.

Exeter says loud and clear 🛑 the genocide 🛑 ethnic cleansing 🛑 deliberate starvation 🛑 war crimes 🛑 Govt complicity by refusing to isolate Israel militarily & economically #Gaza

Couldn't be clearer. Climate action is essential to protect human rights. This means the UK has a legal duty to speed up the transition to a cleaner, greener economy and block any new licences for the extraction of fossil fuels. This ICJ ruling should be the moment we draw a line.

It's not 'those boats' you need to worry about. It's the luxury yachts - symbols of our deeply unequal society - that are the problem. Great short film, worth a watch 💚

The atrocities must end. The genocidal Israeli regime won't listen to words. We need to isolate them completely - both militarily and economically.

“Votes for 16 & 17 year-olds is a good move to strengthen UK democracy and representation. But the government must go further. We desperately need to shake up how we elect our politicians so that the votes of young people – and everyone else – really count." ~ Councillor Thomas Richardson #Exeter
