Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know: If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year. And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.

I've seen on the streets how powerful even the idea of rent controls are that give people so much hope! Pleasure this morning to help launch a report by the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose and the New Economics Foundation into making them a reality.

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...

No, Thames Water, it’s not due to the “hot weather”. It’s because your infrastructure is absolute ass. Because you take all our money and use it to pay out dividends instead of FIXING YOUR FUCKING PIPES.

Fully agree with Dan here. We have a moral responsibility to stop being an island of insufferable bastards, we have a debt we should repay (but probably never will), and we really need to grow out of this mentality that it’s someone else’s fault.

Manchester Evening News review of the first Mayor debate is in - and Geraldine Coggins, Green Party candidate has the highest score! 💚🎉 Labour has let down Greater Manchester. It's time for a Green Mayor.

This all feels rather scripted 🤔

Nigel Farage has failed people in Clacton. Im certain I've done more work than him in the four months I've been here than he's done in two years. People in Clacton deserve so much more than this shameful stunt.

I would have watched if I’d known this was coming!

I hate to play the hits, but whoever at the BBC decided this needed to be broadcast should be jailed. Because this is just propaganda on behalf of Reform that'll go unanswered.

Not watching the national address from Farage because I’m busy doing something more important. I’m perfectly aligning my mousemat with the edges of my desk.

Please, God, may it spread to the Oval Office 🙏🙌

Campaigning in Greater Manchester today and just running through some life lessons...

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.

When trans people are under attack, "don't be political" is not an option. And we'll never be silent when a Labour Government are making life impossibly hard for trans people. We see you. And we stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Get in there Lewis!!!! 👏🙌

It’s the UK Slave Labour Party. Where the whip gets a whip.

This is basically cultural appropriation.

Patriots, huh? Hmm I’m more inclined to agree with “flagshagging criminals”. Happy to see an Oxfordshire court order for the removal of flags across the county. Need that to go nationwide, please. Operation Sink The Fascists

This is exactly what we all said would happen. The sensibles dismissed us as being hysterical and spouting nonsense. And now here we are. We need real change, not the fake ‘change’ that Labour keep fobbing us off with. join.greenparty.org.uk

“Lord Wanker of Wankerson” 👌🙌

Yes, people, it really does work!! Amazing work by Mayor Mamdani and the good folk of NYC to pass the proof of concept phase 👏👏🙌

A lot of people are saying that charging desperate people fleeing terrible circumstances £10,000 for the privilege of asylum in the UK is a new low for Shabana Mahmood. A reminder that this came from the mind of the same home secretary a few months back.

Labour is now just a conveyor belt of con artists, hoping to hoodwink their soft left voters with plastic policy and then instantly lurching to the right. “Change” is an almost constant Labour buzz word. Do we feel change? Time for real change join.greenparty.org.uk

Some absolute classics of the genre in this speech—reindustrialisation, renewed council house building, apprenticeships for all, rejuvenation of high streets, rewiring govt. My dear friends, this will all evaporate like piss on a hot pavement.

Andy Burnham's council home ambitions could be met much faster with a Buy the Supply fund for councils to buy back the homes sold off under Right to Buy, and get hold of second-hand family homes too. Join me and call for a massive national Buy the Supply fund! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

Maybe this is Admiral Shabana making her pitch for a future move to Reform. Her and Suella could compete to be the biggest ironically racist cunt.

Absolutely stunning victory as Greens gain another seat in Brighton & Hove. 🎉 Look at that swing! 🙌🏽👀 Huge congratulations to Nadia and the entire team! 💚

All of this obviously based on the evidence from all those past attempts at implementing a wealth tax 🤦

Wow, another shot aimed squarely at the people in the middle. This won’t touch the people hoarding the most wealth, exactly the people we should be collecting the most tax from. Another nothingness from our illustrious leaders. #TaxWealth #TaxTheRich

Badass! 👏 Decent write up from Brixton Buzz too!

Am I missing something? Has Burnham already been elected by the Labour Party as the new PM?

He burned literally every bridge open to him and left himself alone and stranded on his little island with no hope of rescue. The perfect metaphor for Britain, really.

Zack with the word and the word is good. His policies are exactly what we need and desperately. We require systematic and foundational change. The Greens are the only party talking seriously about those changes. At this point, UK doesnt really have any other option.

I notice the centrist rose tint takes immediate effect. The cries of “he wasn’t really that bad” are quite astounding. The tens of millions who have suffered as a result of his decisions, those people will not forget.

Cool, we’ve got data showing that, yes, it really is the boomers that are dictating an ultra conservative future for their own grandchildren. 👍👍 Anyone who cares about the life that their kids & future grandkids will be left with should join the young people and vote Green. join.greenparty.org.uk

The gambling industry is an all-pervasive, dark presence in UK society. The Green Party is the only party that recognises it as such, and is the only party to acknowledge and discuss the negative - often catastrophic - impact that it has on people’s lives. I can’t believe Labour are doing this.

So Zack wasn’t cheating and lying like all of the media claimed? That’s good to know 👍

A side-note to the judicial and political craziness I've been discussing: People on this platform have been telling me "you shouldn't say 'two-tier justice/policing' as that reinforces far-right messaging." Well Black activists have been using these terms - justifiably - since 1981. Please read on🧵

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel poisoned the land in Lebanon, just as it did with the water wells in Palestine, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. Israel sprayed toxic and carcinogenic chemicals all over Lebanese agricultural land. This is a war crime and an act of genocide.” M. Safa

It’s not lost on me, the irony that their best idea is to inject it with bleach. Shame none of those who followed the same advice over COVID are around to see it.

If you're voting for a party you despise purely because you're afraid an even worse party might get in, you're not being 'tactical', you've fallen for an undemocratic trick guaranteeing your misery. Don't do that; that's obscene. Vote for policies you believe in, every election, wherever you are.

He also repeated the barefaced lie (and that’s a lot of face real estate right there), unchallenged, about the Green Party claiming that food is too cheap, and that they - we - are economically illiterate. So business as usual then, from the next hotshot sensible. join.greenparty.org.uk

BBC R4 giving Spadeface Streeting yet another free leadership campaign broadcast. It’s all the same shit we’ve been hearing since forever. Make everything better. Make Britain more like [name Scandinavian country]. It’s all just business speak, no substance. New Labour.

Genocide Live: A website is DOCUMENTING Israel's crimes with GEOLOCATION, dates, categories of crimes, and footage of the incidents themselves. One click and you can see EXACTLY what Israel did. An enormous digital archive built for ACCOUNTABILITY. experience.arcgis.com/experience/3...

A particularly degenerate spectacle this year: members of the hereditary monarchy watching war machines overfly their palace, while the downtrodden subject population is told to expect further erosion of its living standards to pay for more military hardware.

You know your country’s inherent racism is bad when it starts getting international media attention 🤦

Nice share. This is like Lead by Donkeys, but for animal welfare standards (and associated environmental violations) in the food sector.

The world’s first trillionaire being a nazi is a damning indictment of capitalism.

Daily Mail posts lies about the Greens that are spread far and wide. I wish half the number of people saw their apologies. Solidarity with Kamel.
