"This silence is not just a diplomatic failure — it’s an utter moral failure." Green MPs call on the UK Government to publish its response and act in line with international law one year on from the ICJ's advisory opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s actions.

Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has said Israel's plan for a ‘humanitarian city’ in Rafah would create a “concentration camp” if it goes ahead. The already devastated Palestinian population cannot be subject to yet more unfathomable cruelty at… https://ift.tt/Z9sgp8S

"The only way to stop people making dangerous journeys across the channel is to introduce safe and managed routes for people to seek asylum in the UK." - @carladenyer.bsky.social

🎉 Green WIN! 🎉 💚 Congratulations to Diane Gould of Wealden Green Party on being elected in Horam & Punnetts Town ward!

Reform UK want to scrap West Northants' climate targets. Climate targets are not there to be easy, they are there to remind us how urgently we need to act. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3vde31lwpdo Email your WNC councillor NOW and tell them you don't […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

"People are allowed to come here and claim asylum." @carolinelucas.bsky.social challenges Tim Montgomerie's irresponsible language on BBC Newsnight.

🤬 Thames Water has paid nearly £2.5m in bonuses to senior managers from an emergency loan that was supposed to be used to help keep the failing company afloat. 💸 No more evidence is needed. Privatised water is a scam. 🤝 Water needs to be brought back into public hands.

Unions, bankers, millionaires, 75% percent of the public and many more support taxing wealth fairly. The Green Party has long supported fixing our unfair tax system. With the inequality gap growing ever wider, now is the time for Labour to listen to the people and tax wealth …

"A nomination for someone who's just launched an illegal military strike from a man who is presiding over genocide in Gaza that's killed anything up to 60,000 people and has an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court." - @carolinelucas.bsky.social

Israel are planning to force Gaza's population into an 'internment camp' in Rafah. As if any more evidence of Israel's ethnic cleansing were needed... The Government must act now to protect Palestinian lives and prevent any further atrocities.

The Children's Commissioner insists the two-child benefit limit must be scrapped because children are living in “almost Dickensian levels of poverty”. Child poverty is a political choice and Labour should choose to scrap the cruel limit and lift 500,000 children out of poverty…

💚 Greens have led the calls for a wealth tax. 🤝 Now former Labour leader Neil Kinnock and leading unions have joined us. ⚖️ Looking to balance the books on the backs of the poorest has backfired. It’s time for Labour to make our tax system fairer.

Israel's genocidal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting Donald Trump today in Washington. He is wanted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court. He shouldn't be globetrotting. He should be arrested and put on trial.

"It's ridiculous and it's a total distraction..." @elliechowns.bsky.social discusses Reform's odd obsession with flags in Warwickshire.

Personally I always had issues with the concept of a "country" and "borders" Like who are you to tell me where I can and cannot go on this planet.. Everyone should be free to travel where ever they want on this planet Just because a huuman claimed land centuries ago decides how we live, it's […]

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

The UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories has made clear that an immediate arms embargo on Israel is necessary. Labour are still arming the genocidal Israeli regime. When will they value Palestinian lives over corporate profits?

1 year. 1.8 million votes. 4 MPs. Lots of work still to do. A year on from our record breaking general election result the need for Green voices in Parliament and across England and Wales is clearer than ever. And you can help us to keep growing. Join the Green Party today ⤵️

The use of the Terrorism Act to proscribe Palestine Action is disproportionate and sets a dangerous precedent.

Ellie has raised the need for cross party talks on social care 5 times in as many months and we've lost track of how many bungee jumps @eddavey.libdems.org.uk has done to highlight the issue 😉 We need cross party talks to fix social care now. [contains quote post or other em…

The cruel two-child benefit cap and cuts for disabled people are all political choices. The Government could make different ones, like taxing wealth fairly.

Labour's shambolic and cruel benefit cuts were never necessary. There are alternatives that don't punish the most vulnerable in society and help close the inequality gap...

"Two Palestinians have already died [as of March 2024] while waiting to hear back from the Home Office..." @carladenyer.bsky.social on the urgent need to create a scheme to reunite Palestinians in Gaza with family in the UK, to impose stricter sanctions and to end all arms sal…

"We would be looking to the ultra rich, not the poorest in society..." Leader of Stroud District Council, Cllr Chloe Turner explains why the Green Party opposes the Government's cruel plans to cut disability benefits.

As another heatwave hits the UK, the UK Green Building Council have said the UK’s schools, care homes and offices are not equipped for the effects of global heating. We need a maximum working temperature and urgent adaptation to protect people from the effects of extreme heat.

This Armed Forces Day we want to shine a light on the estimated 3,500 homeless veterans in the UK. Government must provide the necessary investment to end the scandal of former armed forces personnel having nowhere to call home.

Keir Starmer's 'concessions' on the cruel welfare bill are not good enough and would create an unjust two-tier benefits system. The Green Party is calling on Labour MPs to stand firm against this inadequate offer and for the Prime Minister to withdraw the bill.
