The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

100+ people are expected to defy Labour’s absurd ban at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Sunday. 🥀 Labour is complicit in Israel’s genocide, and they’re proscribing direct action groups to try and hide their own guilt. Full Press Release: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🚨 NEW POLL 🟢 Yes: 52% 🔴 No: 48% With the powers of an independent country, Scotland could do far more tackle inequality, build our public services, protect our environment, and defend human rights. 👉 Help us make it a reality: www.greens.scot/join

Wes Streeting: Suggests the work NHS England does is useless. Says he's going to cut half of the jobs (without saying who). Piles a bunch more projects onto the staff. Doesn't set a budget for the projects. Staff: We are demoralised and unproductive. Wes Streeting: Why is NHS England so useless?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is genocidal scum.

Reform are fossil fuel funded — and they call themselves patriots while working to wreck our country. I’ll always take the fight to them until everyone knows the truth. Here’s my Radio 4 debate on @nojusticemtg.bsky.social stream: 🔗 youtu.be/r9lWv4rVhZo?...

Labour are right to lower the voting age. But if they're truly serious about creating a fair democracy: Time to abolish the unelected House of Lords. And time for Proportional Representation for all elections.

Congratulations Katie! #GetGreensElected - #VoteGreen

Carla has been a great co-leader and will continue to be a fantastic MP both for her constituency and for the green movement overall. It is a privilege to know her and to work with her. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

These results are insane.

Here is a nice change to a labour post I'm sure we can all get behind:

🏳️‍⚧️✊

Unsurprising that Labour, who removed clean air targets from its manifesto, is giving diesel and petrol hybrids another half a decade to be sold. The 2030 phase out only applies to cars sold in the UK. Spinning this as a tariff response is nonsense. My full response 👇

Absolutely right. Time for politicians to start telling the truth - that migration is good for this country - instead of dancing to Nigel Farage's tune and whipping up dangerous anti-migrant hate. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Our roads no place for SUVs European Transport Safety Council found that in a collision between a modest-size SUV (1,600kg) and a lighter car (1,300kg), the risk of fatal injury decreases by 50% for the occupants of the heavier car but INCREASES by almost 80% for the occupants of the lighter car.

There’s been a string of left wing commentators having a go at the supposed underperformance of the Greens (latest was Owen Jones in the Guardian yesterday). It really frustrates me how poor that analysis is, so here’s my review of their claims. colinboyle.substack.com/p/what-the-g...

Thank you to Neil from @greenwichcyclists.bsky.social for meeting up with me today near Silvertown Tunnel to express the London Cycle Campaign’s concerns around the lack of proper cycle connections in the tunnel, which is opening on Monday.

In one case a landlord tried to raise rent by a staggeringly unaffordable 121%, from £520 to £1150! Over the last year the rent cap has kept increases to a maximum of 12%. But the SNP allowed it to expire this morning. They must reinstate the renters protections immediately.

Labour’s recent leaflet that boasts about deporting more people than the Tories is gross. Labour is failing to provide safe and legal routes into the UK for asylum seekers, while seemingly revelling in turning people’s lives upside down. My full response > greenparty.org.uk/2025/04/01/l...

What is the IFS, exactly? From the BBC today. 👀

Not only cruel, but completely incompetent.

Choosing to cut support for disabled people, knowing that many already live in poverty, and that being disabled means that life almost always COSTS MORE - that's a political choice Pleased to join @crips-against-cuts.bsky.social in Bristol today, angry that it had to happen (📸 by Clare Reddington)

I explained to the Mayor several times "plant based by default" still means meat & dairy is available but you put the other options first. He just repeatedly pretends to misunderstand what I'm asking. This is not the behaviour of a self proclaimed "climate leader."

The switch to 20mph roads in Wales meant: 🟢 100 fewer dead or seriously injured 🟢 26% fewer injured 🟢 The lowest 3 month casualty figure since records began 46 years ago That's in just the first year. Real lives saved, real families spared a lifetime of pain and hardship.

1/This is a lie from @WesStreeting . He does not “support” trans people in any way. He’s publicly stated he will never call a trans woman a woman. He openly supports transphobes - such as the Darlington Nurses. He despises trans people.

Why is there ANY debate? 🤦‍♀️ 20mph in Wales meant about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured in a year. “There is, perhaps, a lesson here for politicians: sometimes it can be best to ignore the noisiest voices, and take the evidence-based course.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I mean…gaslighting extraordinaire. How you do you fight this level of mass propaganda? They have a transphobic Health Minister fully on their side, they’ve banned transitioning, introduced conversion therapy, and will now be calling trans women ‘men’. It’s trans people who are terrified of the NHS.

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

🎉 We've just hit 60,000 Green Party members! 💚 People across England and Wales are crying out for a positive alternative to the two old parties and that's exactly what the Green Party is offering. 🤝 Want to be part of the change? Join the Green Party today ⤵️

Utterly indefensible. Labour are choosing to cut vital support from vulnerable people. They are also choosing to protect the wealth of the super rich. If this makes you angry, do something about it. Join @greenparty.org.uk and challenge this Government.

More former Labour councillors joining @greenparty.org.uk If you're a councillor - or indeed an MP - who wants to be in the party challenging injustice, get in touch! www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/news/2501827...

The Minister for Health thinks Doctors are incapable of making diagnosis. Meanwhile the cost of living crisis and wealth inequality rises, fascism is back, you can’t buy a house and you can’t even work from home because it’s bad for Pret. But yeah. We’re probably just being soft.

Jenny Jones joined mothers and children taking over Westminster to raise the alarm about air pollution @mothersriseup.bsky.social brought parents, grandparents, and children together - along with a giant inhaler and a giant NHS prescription for clean air www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

On #LongCovidAwarenessDay I want to draw attention to the fact that many people are still living with the effects of Covid, and they often struggle to get the support they need. Government must do much more on research, support, and prevention.

A chat about the economy and why @greenparty.org.uk support a Universal Basic Income for all. m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWRZ...

We follow the advice. We pace, we rest. We try supplements. We meditate. We seek tests and trials... But none of this is enough. We can't do this on our own. On #LongCovidAwarenessDay the government must commit to properly investing in finding treatments for #LongCovid.

Screw the East London Line / Windrush Line. At least once every 2-3 weeks it is cancelled due to 'engineering with works'. This has been happening for years. And then, to add annoyance, they can't even be bothered to serve my local stop or my destination with the replacement bus...

Had a heartbreaking visit to Coniston House in east London this week. The homes are in terrible condition, and it's unacceptable. I’ll be raising my concerns with the Deputy Mayor. See below ⬇️ for more of what I’ve been up to this week.

We have written to every single Labour MP asking them to use their voice (and their votes!) Cuts do not have to be inevitable. You do not need to support this.

The government has pulled the rug out from under farmers by shutting down new SFI applications with zero notice, after previously saying they’d give six weeks' warning. It’s a disgraceful way to treat the farming community, and I’ll keep pushing them to fix this mess.

📊UK, Greens predicted to gain first seat on Cambridgeshire County LDEM: 24 (+4) CON: 20 (-8) LAB: 6 (-3) REF: 6 (+6) GRN: 1 (+1) OTH: 4 (-) via Electoral Calculus / 1-10 March

Tories are stoking hate against the LGBTQ+ community in Scotland. The Scottish Greens will stand with trans people today, tomorrow and always.🏳️‍⚧️
