The new Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has acknowledged that Israel is committing war crimes and that Britain has a moral and legal responsibility to respond. Today, Ellie Chowns MP has written to him calling on the Government to match those words with action, by ending all arms sales to Israel.

“I’m the opposite of concerned because I think this is going to expose the Labour Party, who often say they'll be different when they've got rid of Keir Starmer.” Zack Polanski on whether Labour will really change under Andy Burnham.

While politicians differ over calling out Israel's actions, more than 75,000 people have been killed. The Green Party has always been clear: call it a genocide and end UK arms sales to Israel. Andy Burnham apologised. Now it's time to match those words with action.

If Burnham does even half of the things he is currently hinting at, he will only have done so because of pressure from the left - and particularly from the Greens. We can't let this slip at the first sign of lip service!

He said the same thing in Greater Manchester, and homelessness increased.

Heading home to London after a brilliant day helping @geraldinecoggins.bsky.social with her campaign for Greater Manchester Mayor. Knocked doors all day and came away filled with the hope that comes from working in teams finding the people who are ready to vote green.

Day one of a new Labour leadership.... And Green Party membership is rising!!! Join.greenparty.org.uk

I ask Sadiq Khan about new oil and gas on Thursday: he refuses to answer properly. By the afternoon: we find out he's a Labour Lord. 48 hours later: we find out Labour are pushing ahead with this climate crime. We cannot trust Labour to tackle the climate crisis.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

Deeply irresponsible. We're in a climate crisis. This is such a terrible start. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our country is at breaking point. Rent controls. Wealth tax. Invest in renewables. End Rip Off Britain. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Just a little reminder of what happened here in May… And some appreciation for @andrewteale.me.uk 👍

Great to speak to lots of different channels this morning about what's needed to turn our country around. Rent controls, wealth taxes and action on climate. Half measures won't cut it. Time to be bold. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"It shouldn't take a law to force people in power to tell the truth." - Ellie Chowns discussing Hillsborough Law on Newsnight

In the face of fascism, we stand strongly together.

Despite years of MPs from across the House pressing the govt to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements, the govt still fails to act. We cannot continue to fail in our moral and legal obligations under international law - Labour must end Britain's complicity in these illegal land grabs.

"Let's talk about rent controls. In Greater Manchester people are spending 44% of average income on rent. We need rent controls. We need people to be able to afford to live in cities." - Cllr Chantelle Lunt discussing why Greater Manchester needs a Green Mayor Vote Green on 30th July💚

Thank you! If you appreciate what I - and hundreds of thousands of others are doing - and want to replace Labour and stop Reform: Join.greenparty.org.uk

I'm in Weybread, where residents have come together to oppose a mega egg incubator. This huge industrial unit would bring a big increase in traffic and heavy lorries coming into a small village that just isn't built for it.

As wildfires rage, Andy Burnham still won't rule out airport expansion. He still hasn't commited to ending new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The incoming Prime Minister can't say the climate crisis is an emergency whilst backing policies that make it worse.

Today in planning ctte: A new tower in the green quarter with 251 homes, of which ZERO will be affordable. Despite agreeing that it wasn’t good enough, Labour members allowed this to sail through. Supposedly if there’s not enough profit to meet the target of 20% they can just ignore it.

Green MP Hannah Spencer to introduce bill on maximum workplace temperatures By-election winner says heatwaves are causing "absolute chaos" and workers need protection from unsafe conditions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Very distressing to hear of the circumstances surrounding Ann Widdecombe's death. My thoughts are very much with her loved ones and all those who knew her.

We need to take back Greater Manchester from big money - and give it back to the people. Reform have thrown in the towel. And Labour have let people down. Geraldine Coggins has a plan to make it happen. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The incredible Michael Ball has been elected as Clapham Park's newest Green councillor! It's a clear mandate for change as the Greens remain the largest party in Lambeth.

"Knocking on doors for over a decade I know the people here have lost hope but I have passion for this place and I have a plan" - Geraldine Coggins introducing the Green Party Mayoral Manifesto at our launch event today

Admitting that the British government knows war crimes are being committed would trigger a legal duty to immediately halt arms sales. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'm in Greater Manchester for the launch of our Green Party plan. It's time to take Greater Manchester back from big money. Reform are distracted fighting a bin. And Labour have let people down. Geraldine Coggins & the Green Party have hope and a plan. 👇🏼

@geraldinecoggins.bsky.social has a plan to get Greater Manchester's high streets buzzing again as Green Mayor 🐝 Vote Green on July 30th to bring our high streets back to life 🗳️💚

Billionaires are buying influence in British politics. It's time to cap political donations and make every vote count equally.

At the heart of the Reform project are allegations of big money buying influence. They wrap themselves in the flag while selling our future. We can be in no doubt about what they'd do in power. They would rip apart our communities and serve their crypto paymasters.

🚨 BREAKING: ‘Unbiased' GMB presenter Ed Balls set for Labour return under Andy Burnham.

Brilliant to see Geraldine - our Green candidate for Mayor - putting housing right at the centre of her campaign. We need both affordable housing and council housing with an end to right to buy putting money in the pockets of private landlords. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

It's always lovely to see people supporting the LGBT+ community. Someone needs to tell London Labour Assembly Members who all abstained this week on a motion standing up for trans rights and challenging the EHRC. Why abstain on people's human rights and then "celebrate" Pride?

For too long, Labour’s housing model has served private developers, not people, and failed to deliver genuinely affordable housing. Today, Geraldine Coggins will announce the first step in her plans to change that as Green Mayor

There are lessons to be learned from this situation at Monklands, but that will be of little comfort to the staff and patients who are dealing with an old hospital. Last week I asked Government to meet unions and staff to ensure that the hospital is a safe place to work.

We shouldn’t accept mass surveillance as the new normal. These invasive tools allow the police to monitor our daily lives, entirely unregulated and without any safeguards. The rollout of live facial recognition needs to stop and robust protections must be put in place to safeguard our rights.

The Green Party is clear on what real change looks like: • Proportional representation • Taxing billionaire wealth • No new oil and gas • Public ownership of water • Rent controls • Ending arms sales to Israel

The Green Party has a serious plan to end Rip Off Britain. After my speech to the British Chambers of Commerce, we had a short interview about our plans. 👇🏼 youtu.be/736bPlJ_BdM?...

No one who says that members WILL definitely vote on something knows how conference works or should be taken seriously when discussing internal green party debates.
