Absolutely we should fear terrorism and seek to prevent it. But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy. Both present major threats to public life.

The Daily Mail seems scared 💚

There were 36 votes between the Green Party and Reform. 36 votes. Reform are absolutely stoppable - and the Green Party can win with our message to lower bills, protect the NHS and rebuild public services. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Well said, Zack. Maintaining a system that indebts our young people for pursuing further education is neither sustainable for them nor for the country in the long term. Tuition fees have to go.

Well said, @elliechowns.bsky.social. The problem isn't immigrants; it is those who arrive and leave by private yacht depending on whether or not the politics or legislation of a country aligns with their personal interests.

UK’s first climate evacuees www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

If you’re interested in the current state of our ‘justice’ system and the lurch towards authoritarian rule that the government and CPS have taken, this is a damning indictment of both. On climate and pro-Palestinian activism, the system is an absolute sham. youtu.be/z2vgcVyMreI?...

Climate breakdown and wildfires in the UK are worsening, but our fire services are still expected to keep on top of it despite reductions in budgets and personnel. This will leave us exposed to climate-related events in the future, which is why we urge the government to urgently address this.

The government has slashed its climate funding for developing nations by 20%, a move critics are calling a "betrayal" of global pledges. This will not only undermine international trust, but it will also lead to increased natural disasters and political instability in the nations affected.

Starmer once said, "Country first, party second." But his actions have repeatedly told a different story. From suspending his own MPs for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap to blocking Andy Burnham to replace him with another loyalist. Starmer is a serial liar; that is why he needs to go.

In trying to avoid releasing material which may be embarrassing for the UK govt or offensive to the sensitivities of one Donald Trump, the govt has set up a process which risks hugely delaying the release of papers relating to Mandelson's appointment.

There's a one hour special on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, and whether they are ready to lead, on BBC2 Presumably, there will be a similar one hour special on Zack Polanski, and whether The Greens are ready to lead, as well?

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.” This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵 www.monbiot.com/2009/05/04/m...

52% of people with mental health issues regularly run out of money, yet 72% don't know support exists. These are worrying stats; the gov must: ✅ Increase the accessibility of mental health clinics ✅ Create social spaces ✅ Spread awareness of local mental health charities

UK, NEW: Hannah Spencer has been selected as the Greens candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election. Hannah won with 78% of the vote, beating Fesl Raza-Khan and Sarah Wakefield.

Great to see Chiltern Greens having our say about flooding issues in the area www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/2580613...

Drinking water contamination notices in the UK have surged by 285% in just five years. From "forever chemicals" to E. coli and parasites, 379 alerts were issued between 2020 and 2025. Meanwhile, water bills continued to rise, and consumers bore the costs. That is enough. #publicownershipnow

The UK government didn’t want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I’m not surprised – @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Our so-called 'leaders' have been importing millions of people from highly violent, conflict-ridden, and, yes, inferior 'honour cultures' from the Third World, where settling grievances through violence is standard.” Who said it? Reform’s Matt Goodwin or TV’s Alf Garnett?

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

We are not here to be disappointed by Labour anymore. At the by-election in Gorton and Denton, we are here to replace them. This election is a two-way race now - Greens Vs Reform.

A recent survey finds that 25% of teachers wash students' uniforms, and 41% have to drive homeless pupils to classes. Why should teachers have to do this? Why isn't the state providing the affordable housing and social safety net these children desperately need? Action needs to be taken.

Water bills have surged by 50% across England and Wales, despite customers experiencing frequent water outages and an increase in sewage pollution into our rivers and seas. Why should people have to pay for this privatised scam? #publicownershipnow www.theguardian.com/business/202...

How Morgan McSweeney's '0% strategy' failed to win over Reform voters while haemorrhaging Labour's own support base to the Greens www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/morgan-mcs...

Greens need to stand everywhere to reduce Reform’s vote. There is clear evidence that this happens from the 2025 local elections, where Reform won 57% of seats with no Green candidate but only 38% of seats with a Green candidate 💚

The system has failed us, so help us create a better one, one that's built upon hope💚🌍

Do people change their minds on policies depending on whether Keir Starmer or Nigel Farage backs them? YouGov does the math yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires have signed a letter calling for increased taxes on the super-rich. Extreme wealth means extreme power - over our politics, our media, and our lives. When even the super-rich know it's time to tax them more, will Labour finally listen?

Congratulations Lian Pizzey on the swift victory💚

Inequality is a global crisis, not just a national one. Whilst many working-class families around the world are living in poverty, an increasing proportion of wealth is becoming concentrated in the hands of a few. We could tackle this, but it would require global cooperation.

This is the least we could do. This policy won't only encourage young people to travel more, but it will also relieve them of the costs of travelling to education and seeking stable employment.

There was a stream of people who used to vote Labour now voting Green. "It has now become a torrent." 👇🏼 observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Ridiculous that young people, who are not able to drive as a means of transport, are so often excluded from conversations around concessionary bus travel. We need free bus travel for young people, disabled people, and the elderly as standard - not based on a postcode lottery.

The world’s richest 1% have burned up their fair share of carbon for the year in just 10 days. The climate and inequality crises are one and the same. We need: 💰 Wealth taxes on the super-rich 🚫 Ban on private jets

The majority of Thames Water customers support nationalisation, as they have become sick and tired of paying for a water system that doesn't work and for a company that is complicit in polluting our rivers until 2040. People are seeing through the scam. #publicownershipnow

1 in 200 UK households experience homelessness, the highest rate in the developed world. Over 132,410 households lack stable accommodation. What could the government do? Invest in affordable housing✅ Introduce rent controls✅ Invest in secure public sector jobs✅ Reform the welfare state✅

Since Labour came to power the poorest have got poorer while the most affluent have seen their discretionary incomes rise by 10.3 per cent. The old establishment parties exist to do one thing: protect wealth and power. Only the Green Party would cut bills and tax billionaires.

It is not enough for the government to simply condemn the establishment of more illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank; the UK must take concrete action. Ban all trade with illegal settlements and refuse to have anything to do with the proceeds of crime.

The US didn't like Maduro, so they got rid of him. It's as simple as that: modern-day imperialism for everyone to see.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist. Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

The US strikes on Venezuela are disgusting. Yet another attempt at regime change to secure oil for American corporations. Solidarity with the peoples of Venezuela. Trump must end this criminal action NOW.

Labour have lost their way; they have allowed wealth inequality to worsen during their time in government. Only one party will redistribute wealth equally throughout all of Britain's communities. join.greenparty.org.uk
