Why did you Join the Green Party?
“I joined the Green Party after awakening to the fact that social, economic and political inequality were destroying the country that I love. The only party that seemed to not only understand this but had begun talking of the solutions to it were the Green Party. Their message of hope, the championing of progressive values and their support for the most marginalised and vulnerable in our society inspired me to join.

Not only that, I also wanted to connect with like-minded people who shared my values. In the Green Party  I feel I have found my home. I am so glad I made that decision to join.”

A new study warns UK winters are becoming significantly wetter — with rainfall rising 7% for every degree of warming.

Yet Reform dismiss the scientific consensus and want scrap action to stop the climate crisis.

“I’m really worried for my friends and neighbours who are immigrants, or the children of immigrants, who’ve kept our city region moving.”

Our candidate for Gorton and Denton, Hannah Spencer, says the threat of adopting ICE-style tactics would put hardworking communities in the firing line.

“Jim Ratcliffe’s comments were outrageous. They are offensive and they were deeply wrong. We do have a problem in our country, and that problem is inequality. It’s not immigration.”

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.

But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

Vote Green.

She's 8 MONTHS PREGNANT & was kidnapped by ICE...or someone!

When ANYONE can mask up, dress as ICE & rent a black SUV, what's to stop them from just kidnapping people?

In California, we passed a law against masks & it's not being followed.

Police aren't protecting us, no one is.

Don’t Freeze Our Futures: Reform Student Loans Student loans are no longer fit for purpose. Urge the Chancellor to unfreeze repayment thresholds, reform interest rates, and introduce fairer terms.

The current incarnation of student loans is a really crude way of funding higher education, penalising students from poorer backgrounds and locking people into a lifetime of significant debt.

Reversing the current changes is just the start of the changes needed…

I think they considered building a new parliament building in York; but not sure if that was a temporary arrangement while the Westminster one gets done up.

It’s only a graduate tax for students who have to borrow to go to university. Families who can fund their child through further education don’t pay the graduate tax - so effectively it’s a punitive tax on aspirational people from poorer backgrounds. At worst, Student loans should be interest free!
