US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called βalliesβ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.

Exeter Greens challenge Stagecoach over 'steep' city bus fare hikes
Exeter Greens challenge Stagecoach over steep bus fare hikes as operator defends its new pricing structure and prepares for electric vehicle rollout
βItβs clear that a lack of ambition by Stagecoach to increase passenger numbers is bypassed by an easier route to generate profits. So if they can carry 10 passengers paying Β£5 each rather than 20 passengers paying Β£2 each, they'll carry fewer passengers if this means more revenue.β

Exeter Greens call for review of bus fare hikes and reintroduction of child Β£1 add-on ticket - Exeter Green Party

βGreens believe strongly that bus fares shouldnβt be left to the whim of private bus operators but should be set by a regional transport authority along with routes and frequencies. This would mean passengers being prioritised over private profit.β - Cllr Thomas Richardson

Exeter council elections restored after major government U-turn
Labour could lose control of Exeter City Council when 13 of its 39 seats are contested.
@dianafmoore.bsky.social said voting was "a right, not a privilege".
"Denying millions of people their right to vote was a dangerous decision. One I am sure Labour will come to regret on 7 May.
"Green candidates are ready to step up to become councillors and serve our communities."

A graphic showing a person placing a bote into a ballot box. Text reads: Labour U-turn on disgraceful disregard of democracy. People will have their say in May.
Greens have consistently said these elections should go ahead and led a coordinated campaign with other opposition parties to lobby the government to do the right thing. Now they have.
People will now have their say on who will best represent them in their ward and who runs Exeter City Council.
