Croydon Council taken to court over failure to provide services to residents Secret deal between the Conservative Mayor and Council officers to close the counter service is being challenged because it breaks the law and the Council’s own rules insidecroydon.com/2026/07/01/p...

Hospital roofs replaced by rockets and guns. Buried in the smallprint - Starmer's defence plan means slashing funding for hospitals to pay for bullets and bombs. Will @andyburnham.bsky.social go along with this?

Serving as an MP is a privilege and should be viewed as such by those who do the job – not as a part-time role or a get-rich-quick scheme. We need a ban on second jobs for MPs now.

As Tony Benn said, "If we can find money to kill people, we can find the money to help people." Labour prefer to kill people www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour – won’t tax wealth, will tax refugees Tells you everything you need to know about their twisted values www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Three demands for Prime Minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham: Will he tax wealth? Fix our broken voting system? And end the gutting of local services? The challenges facing our country require real change.

"We do think we should be taxing the extremely wealthy. This isn't ordinary people's fault. This is fossil fuel giants. These are the people who need to be paying." Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward on cutting bills and making polluters pay.

‘Build, Baby, Build’ is just Thatcherite trickle-down economics - but letting rich people invest in luxury flats doesn’t build the affordable social housing we really need @rachelmillward.bsky.social on Green plans for a public owned housing developer www.placenorthwest.co.uk/green-party-...

"The impacts of the climate and nature crisis are well and truly with us. A strong economy must be a resilient economy, a sustainable economy and a future-proofed economy." Zack Polanski speaking at the British Chambers of Commerce Global Annual Conference 2026: Delivering Growth.

As we sit sweltering in yet another day of record temperatures, we need to start turning up the heat on our elected politicians There is so much we can do to adapt to extreme heat - we need our councils and our government to start delivering insidecroydon.com/2026/06/26/i...

Our Government has a legal obligation to prevent genocide - No military support or arms for Israel - Boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the Israeli state and complicit businesses - Prosecutions for people who have committed or enabled war crimes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tackling the housing crisis starts with making better use of the properties that already exist Letting developers build more unsuitable and unaffordable properties just makes the problem worse We need to buy up empty properties to use as social housing www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In June 2024, then-Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper promised a Labour government would “overhaul”; the scheme entirely if it continued to fail. Almost two years on, promises have not been kept. re&utm_source=web_share_api&share=72de5df6-405b-415e-8fd2-3830d1360c35

For three days in a row the heat record for June has been broken in the UK. The same story right across Europe. Any attempts at this key moment to slow climate action is utterly indefensible. We need day one action to accelerate our climate ambition from Andy Burnham.

Zack Polanski calls for Proportional Representation before the next election, to improve the quality of our democracy

Climate breakdown is here. We must double down on efforts to decarbonise but that's not enough. We need new rights at work to protect us from climate danger - failing to act now will endanger workers' lives and cost our health service dearly.

"Half measures or backsliding on climate action would be a moral and political failure from Andy Burnham." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A strong set of results in the local elections last night. Congratulations to our candidates, campaign teams and volunteers, and thank you to everyone who voted Green! 💚

Green MPs' response to the violent unrest in Belfast.

"It's not a company that we should be commissioning because of their involvement in ICE in America and the genocide in Palestine." Mayor of Hackney Zoë Garbett on why Palantir should not be allowed contracts for our NHS and policing on LBC’s Cross Questions.

A fairer voting system is better for all of us It’s obvious we need to get rid of the First-Past-The-Post system. We already use PR systems in the UK for lots of elections and we should be using them for Councils and Westminster @makevotesmatter.bsky.social insidecroydon.com/2026/06/08/w...

From bakers to farmers to anyone running a small business - rip-off Britain is squeezing us all. It's time for a real plan to secure our food resilience: supporting farmers, bringing down costs for small businesses, and giving workers proper rights and decent pay.

I have written to the Prime Minister and Bridget Phillipson, calling for the cruel and confusing EHRC Code of Practice to be rejected. Legislative action must be taken to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.

Labour and Conservatives are working together to keep all the power for themselves, prevent any scrutiny, and stop residents having a say Greens are now effectively the opposition party on Croydon Council insidecroydon.com/2026/06/06/h...

Labour keep spouting stupid slogans like ‘build baby build’ and repeating the lie of ‘affordable housing’ If we want to really fix the housing crisis the Government must give Councils the money to buy up empty properties and build new housing to rent out www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide. The experts already have. A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading human rights organisations all agree: it's genocide. Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

@sianberry.bsky.social MP for Brighton Pavilion, discusses why she is leading a parliamentary campaign against Palantir on LBC this morning.

Impractical, intrusive and inhumane - @rachelmillward.bsky.social responds to the ECHR guidance on behalf of Green Party leadership.

“Those who seek to use this tragedy to incite violence, create division in our communities and further their own political ambitions, are deeply irresponsible and deserve no place in our public life.” - Siân Berry MP for Brighton Pavilion

Go Greens!!

First they came for the trans women…. Then they came for women who wanted an abortion…. Then they came for women who are feminists… Are you speaking out, or cheering them on? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Disposable barbecues are a danger to life and should have been banned by now Please don’t buy them and definitely don’t use them in any green space www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

6.1 million people across the UK are living in fuel poverty. Meanwhile BP are doubling their profits during the energy crisis. Pleased to see the Mayor agree with my call to keep the energy cap in place. We have to lower people's bills.

With the updated EHRC code of practice, the Government is still leaving trans people with a real fear of being excluded from essential services and public spaces. My statement in full: greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

UN vote confirms that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change - the only opposition comes from those trying to make a profit from our own destruction Our Governments need to stop being destroyers and start being saviours www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today's Climate Change Committee report warns our way of life is under threat from heat, flooding, and drought. The Government must take concrete steps to protect people's lives and introduce a Climate Protection Unit in Number 10.

We support the Global Sumud Flotilla. The Israeli Navy has forcibly stopped the flotilla near Cyprus, detained 12 UK nationals, and reportedly fired upon remaining vessels. The UK government has a duty to protect its citizens and must condemn these actions and demand that aid is allowed into Gaza.
