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

The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. 🤬 This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. 🤑 Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting, you can still drop these disastrous and unpopular plans. Share if you agree.

Option 1: Stop selling arms to a genocidal regime, impose sanctions, and empower Palestinian self-rule. Option 2: Wheel out Tony (we can't believe we're writing this) Blair to govern the Gaza strip. Which one will the government go for do you think?

Brilliant discussion with the fab @graceblakeley.substack.com on everything from growth to inequality, power & community organising, & how capitalism is actually a “system based on centralised planning & control rather than free markets”, where big biz is protected from consequences of failure👇

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I am deeply disappointed by the announcement that Bungay High will no longer offer a sixth form. Since the sudden decision at the start of the school year to not continue with a planned new intake of sixth form students, I have been engaging with the school regularly.

Gambling, an industry out of control doing enormous damage to individuals and communities. These modest control measures don't go nearly far enough for #PublicHealth www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

An @Age-Uk.bsky.social report shows healthy life expectancy has fallen by 2 years. Good food, warm homes and active and purposeful lives are out of reach for far too many in the UK — and it is a matter of emergency. #PublicHealth | #HealthJustice

The sound of silence.

We've had a ridiculous amount of emails and messages asking for this and it has to be said: you were right. This is almost definitely the best episode of any politics podcast ever. And it's the longest episode we've done too, obviously. See you Wednesday for Zack & Gary.

Fantastic news!!! 🥳 GREEN BY-ELECTION WIN! 🎊 Massive congratulations to our new councillor Zoe Marlow and the team Job well done! 💯 Time for you to join our movement, Join.greenparty.org.uk

With Labour's approval of a second runway at Gatwick airport - and Reeves and Starmer pursuing growth at all costs - we NEED @graceblakeley.substack.com in our lives to explain why certain types of growth don't benefit most of us

Labour haven't learned any lessons from the past and are looking to involve private finance in the building of new 'neighbourhood health centres'. And Reform can't wait to sell off our precious NHS. Only the Green Party stands for a health service run for people, not profit.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza. The UK must act to assure their safety. Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.

And the parents are right. In many European countries children start school at 6 or 7. And education & #mentalhealth much better www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/real-li...

Great to sit down with Lord Deben last night to talk green politics, my journey to Parliament and more. Fantastic discussion with a local audience at the Debenham Lion on the benefits of a green economy and the costs of not acting.

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.

An expert report says ending the two-child benefit cap is the biggest step Labour could take to cut child poverty. So why are we still waiting? #EndChildPoverty | #ScrapTheCap

Grace Blakeley is brilliant. And here's an episode of everything from the economy to how to tackle inequality. A huge conversation that's ultimately about power. And how do we organise & empower communities? 👇🏼

Denying President Abbas and Palestinian representatives entry into the US for UN General Assembly weakens the very process of diplomacy. Peace cannot be built by silencing voices that must be heard.

Starmer is under pressure to drop the two-child benefit cap

Reform want to deport people who have lived in this country their entire lives. They want to deprive people of welfare they need to survive. It was never about “legitimate concerns”. It was always about cruelty. @turnleftmedia.co.uk

The problem facing us is a tiny group of people have taken away our wealth and our power. Time to take it back. Loved speaking to @podsavetheuk.crooked.com youtu.be/IE9qJvpib6w?...

After being used in WW2 compulsory ID cards were abolished in 1952 because of the widespread sentiment that they are fundamentally at odds with British values and civil liberties. That was true then and it’s true now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was wrong under Blair It's wrong under Starmer! An attempt at government overreach. Private citizens should be allowed to remain private! Governments bring in these measures by distraction and misdirection, in this case using illegal immigration, but they will creep into the rest of our lives

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

Do Labour fear @greenparty.org.uk? In today's @scotnational.bsky.social Join.greenparty.org.uk

We should all ask the question: Where is Keir Starmer?

I'm curious why the owner of GB News might keep trying to take relentless pops at me. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I spoke to Times Radio about why @greenparty.org.uk are against Gatwick’s second runway. It’s a runway to climate chaos, not the future we need.

We have more coverage, more members, and more elected greens than ever before. Our new leadership team is cutting through with a bold message that @greenparty.org.uk will tackle inequality and deliver real hope, and real change. 💚

Just finished listening to @graceblakeley.substack.com with @zackpolanski.bsky.social. The discussion about #Growth, a #WealthTax, and economics was brilliant. Definitely give it a listen, or subscribe to @_BoldPolitics YouTube to watch at 7pm. Link in comments ⬇️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

"This is why a lot of our hardworking Greens have been elected..." @rachelmillward.bsky.social discusses the government's so-called 'devolution' plans on BBC Politics South East.

Green membership across Great Britain has now overtaken the Lib Dems. @greenparty.org.uk passed 78,000 last night. @scottishgreens.org have 7,800, producing a total of 85,800. Last month, the Lib Dems told the BBC they had 83,174: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform are trying to sell the myth that deporting people and removing the rights of migrants will solve all the country's problems. It won't. Know what would help solve the country's problems? Taxing the super-rich properly and closing the inequality gap.

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.
