A large group of smiling Green Party supporters stand together outdoors holding placards that read “Pleidleiswch Werdd” (“Vote Green” in Welsh). In front, Wales Green Party leader Anthony Slaughter stands with fellow members. Overlaid text reads: “Greens in the Senedd can deliver real change for Wales” followed by a quote from Anthony Slaughter about rent controls, bringing Welsh Water into public ownership, and replacing the unfair council tax system so the richest pay more. The Green Party logo appears at the bottom.

Poll predicts Keir Starmer will LOSE his seat to the Green Party at next election Though there's still a few years left until our next General Election, the Green Party renaissance will give Sir Keir some food for thought.

Let's make this happen. Together.

Is UK government complicit in the destruction of Gaza?

While ever Peter Oborne is still working, there’s hope for British Journalism. The fact that his honesty makes him stand out should shame the rest.

This is a superb dissection of our support of a genocide.

If reform can rocket through the polls with a politics of despair, then it's time for the green party to do the same thing but with a politics of hope.

Dark green background with the repeated faded number “80,000.” In the centre, bold bright green text reads “80,000 Green Party Members.” Above it, smaller white text says “REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.” At the bottom is the Green Party logo and name.

Would you like me to also draft a shorter, more minimal version for accessibility-first posting (e.g. “Graphic with text: 80,000 Green Party Members. Real hope. Real change. Green Party logo”)?

Reform are trying to sell the myth that deporting people and removing the rights of migrants will solve all the country's problems. It won't.

Know what would help solve the country's problems? Taxing the super-rich properly and closing the inequality gap.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.

And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.

Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Nadine Dorries joining Reform isn’t a shock. It’s logical for a politics of cruelty, corruption, and the collapse of neoliberalism.

The rise of Reform is the fault of a failing Labour Government & their vapid politics.

We're growing the alternative.

We must tackle inequality.

Your bills are not high because of migrants.

The NHS is not crumbling because of migrants.

It's because of politicians who only serve the super rich. 👇🏼

🔴Glasman says Attlee and Bevan would “never have given the ECHR status in British law.”

🔴But Attlee signed and ratified the ECHR.

🔴Bevan fought for legal dignity, not executive impunity.

🔴Glasman is laundering authoritarianism with fake history.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research has warned that Rachel Reeves will have to raise taxes in the Autumn Budget.

The Chancellor has a choice - continue to penalise people on the lowest incomes or tax the super-rich fairly.

We know what we would do 🤑

I’m old enough to remember when Tom Bennett & the edulads thought it was edgy to have a Research ED conference in Tel Aviv during a genocide.

97% of schools in Gaza are destroyed.

The number of dead children is enormous.

The edugrifters aren’t a fraction as smart as they - or you - think they are

Former Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds has even said Starmer and Reeves should consider a wealth tax.

They can only bury their heads in the sand for so long.

Now is the time to tax the super-rich properly and close the inequality gap.

Great to see some climate realism that follows the science from Mr Corbyn.

Compare it with Starmer’s offsetting emissions against research nonsense today. 🤣

Nothing undermines climate resilience in this country as much as private ownership of our water system, and nothing reveals the drought of political ambition like the refusal to renationalise it. Again we find ourselves confronting simultaneously both the #climatecrisis and the political crisis.
