My thoughts and prayers are with all those injured in today’s attack at a synagogue on Yom Kippur, and with the wider Jewish community.

No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship.

We must all work to calm tensions, stand together, and reaffirm our shared commitment to peace and solidarity

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?"

Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership"

"Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

Reform want to deport people who have lived in this country their entire lives.

They want to deprive people of welfare they need to survive.

It was never about “legitimate concerns”. It was always about cruelty.

🐝 #CANBill

Do you agree with Jeremy?
Do we need cooperation across the left?

You can have your say.

All Green policy is voted through by Green membership.
That means if you want to see cooperation happen, you can join the Greens and make it happen.

Taking a breather from the craziness of the world with the #bigbutterflycount: today's Speckled Wood and Red Admiral along with a Peacock yesterday.

The #CANBill is set to be debated today in Parliament, but Starmer's team are pushing it aside.

What are they afraid of? It would simply lock international pledges on climate and nature into domestic law.

The debate isn't even about passing the bill—just whether to give it proper consideration.

Remember when drump said Mexico didn’t send the best people but only rapist and murderers? Well he may come face to face w these “rapists and murderers” tomorrow. Mexico sent a group to assist w search/rescue/recover/clean up mission here in TX. Once again, shows who the better person is. Ain’t him
